Poetry. Some of the poems in this book were written a long time ago and though nearly all of them have been published, they didn't fit into earlier manuscripts. They're together now because the mountain has made them want to know each other.

Poetry. John E. McGuigan's second collection of poetry, PART OF A GEOGRAPHY, is a 40 page perfect bound book containing poetry about his childhood home, Scranton, Pennsylvania. "Jack's sure hand with language, his clear eye, his heart show through in these fine poems--evocations of a life we all should slow enough to savor. From ironing to fruitcake, the world he so lovingly provides draws us in"--Karen Blomain.

Part of a Geography

McGuigan, Jack

Poetry. "Andrea Jade Talarico's first collection, SPINNING WITH THE TORNADO, does exactly as its opening poem promises--refuses to break out of the uncomfortable, to back down from the unknown"--Jennifer Judge Yonkoski.

Spinning with the Tornado

Talarico, Andrea Jade

Poetry. Not so much recipes as proclamations, not descriptions but prescriptions, this collection of poems by Craig Czury is a compendium of the possibilities of and for poetry that exist in the real world. Using the idea of "write a poem" as an extensible metaphor for "live a life in which it is possible", this book may teach you all you need to know about finding poetry in the daily, and trickstering those around you into seeing it, as well.

American Know-How: Patent Pending

Czury, Craig

Poetry. "Who says letters and words are flat, arbitrary signs? In Geof Huth's OUT OF CHARACTER, they are animate, vibrant, interactive, intra/inter/connecting us and eye. These creatures wink, bow, dance, copulate,imperiously stare, all pressing at the boundaries of the page, at the boundaries of language. Reaching deep into the matter of our writing, Huth has brought to light its substantial, vital, squirming innards and outtards. Taking these visual poems up in the hands of your eyes, you will find many that fit you as well as the organs of your own body. What else can you ask from a book?"--Crag Hill.

Out of Character

Huth, Geoff

Poetry. "The amazing poem 'east/west' is a must read. Warner successfully weaves--or more aptly fuses--references to music, spirituality, psychology, pop culture and literature as he explores themes of exile and identity. In these electric poems we journey with him as he both searches for and invents a new home--this one made of language"--Toi Derricotte.

Too Bad It's Poetry

Warner, Jim

Poetry. "Here, from first verse to last, is a poetry of the heart. But don't expect the pleading, defensive heart of confessional verse or the nostalgic, self-involved heart of romance. The heart in SILENT TYPE is a stubborn, insistent, relentlessly defiant interlocutor, a 'bastard of a thing' to be wrested from the self and wrestled into form. And what living, breathing, bleeding, unforgettable forms DeCesare repeatedly achieves. This is a book to be lived with and wrestledwith and cherished"--David Shirley.

Matter No Matter

Poetry. Art. With CHAINS, derek beaulieu once again turns his attention to how "language regards itself, stalks itself, begins, slowly, to eat itself" (Canadian Literature) in a series of graceful abstractions made entirely from antiquated dry-transfer lettering. In chains, letters gather in elegant arrangements, architectural constructions and sinews of meaning. Derek Bealieu is the author of 4 books of poetry and conceptual writing. In 2005 he coauthored, with Gary Barwin, fragments from the frag pool: haiku after basho, a book of playful translations. In 2006 he co-edited Shift & Switch: new Canadian poetry to wide acclaim. Alberta Views recently referred to Beaulieu as a "mad scientist of visual poetry", and FFWD referred to his 2006 volume fractal economies as having "the potential to be like Miles Davis' Kind of Blue, which taps the veins of jazz for many listeners and musicians. Never read a book of concrete poetry before? This might be the one to hook you."

Chains

Poetry. "There are only a few people working in this utterly unadorned, unsung blue-collar vein, and Jack DeWitt is the master of the genre"--Stephen Berg.

Almost Grown
