Samuels selected 32 poems by his students and a few seasoned poets writing about often traumatic personal experience, illustrating theories of social and psychological phenomena which Samuels points out in his commentary. The collection concludes with a student's essay on Erikson's eight ages of man, Samuels on science and poetry, advice to students writing poems, his essay "Science and Poetry: two approaches," and an index of concepts.

History & Criticism

This first collection of David Oates' poems of 1992 followed his Earth Rising: Ecological belief in an age of Science. A naturalist and backpacker describes his feeling of alienation in the Los Angeles metropolis where "The roar of images and sounds impounds us/like ancient city walls--keeping out the world, keeping in beloved mayhem, barter, /smells, deceit and favor"-- yet someone, rooftop, brings water for her son. Oates leaves LA to hike through chapparal, canyon, desert, along the Kern River and into the mountains of King's Canyon in the mid Californian Sierras. There is irony in "The Dow is down...The tao is down slightly..." and "What the chainsaws have made clear" in the last short "Lo-Ku" poems.

Poetry

Poetry. Bilingual Edition. Translated from the Swedish by Eva Claeson. A collection of poems by Sonia Akesson, Kristina Lugn, Barbro Dahlin, Margareta Ekstrom, Johanna Ekstrom, Elisabet Hermodsson, Katarina Frostenson, Eva Strom, Marie Lundquist, and Elisabeth Rynell. "Eva Claeson has skillfully gathered a bouquet of contrasting poems by ten contemporary women poets. In the Swedish landscape she opens for us, there is joy and there is misery, and since the poets are of different ages, they illuminate different aspects and atmospheres of Swedish life, from the nordic light to the long dark winter nights"--Heidi von Born.

Poetry. A lovely bilingual edition of the 8th century Chinese poets Li Bai and Du Fu, translated by Keith Holyoak with calligraphy by Hung-hsiang Chou. "Holyoak's clarity carries the profundity and complexity of the Chinese culture not dissimilar to our own. 'The wine keeps flowing; the moon keeps watch'"--London Magazine. "Keith Holyoak has succeeded in producing translations of Chinese poetry that achieve high literary excellence while conveying a real sense of the musicality of the originals"--Johanthan Chaves.

History

McBride, Mekeel

Americas

A songbird/troubadour, with news from all over, his lyrical delineations of home, hearth and family form the base from which he then departs--to stormy Maine coasts, to Paris, Argentina, sunny isles or the solitudes of wildernesses. The book is...an afirmation of what I believe and cherish and foster. --Jean Pedrick
