Allan Briesmaster's 9th collection of poetry extends and deepens some of the main themes of his previous work: the ongoing relationship to the natural world, despite the evident degradation; the media that filter and re-present one's experiences as a 21st-century urbanized being; and the larger cosmos, surveyed in both scientific and imaginative terms, in an outward sweep, past other planets and moons, toward the mysterious dark energy at the frontiers of thought.

Room Tone is an affectionately intimate behind-the-scenes look at filmmakers and filmmaking, through the eyes of Nica Lind, the gifted and photogenic daughter of a French Nouvelle Vague actress and a Swedish Cinematographer. Film-addicted at age 10, Nica enters the family business in her teens. When her success in Europe draws the notice of a powerful Hollywood agent, she goes to California and becomes a star in a hit TV series. Grateful for recognition, insane amounts of money and talented colleagues, Nica nonetheless feels out of place. Needing to be where the work she loves lives and where she is at home, both professionally and personally, she returns to Europe and to the new post-national cinema. Gale Zoë Garnett invests this character-rich homage to film life and art with clear-eyed love, wicked wit, and an insider's understanding.

Heir to the Hipster line of rabbinical leaders and sages, eleven year old Micah Mushmelon enlists Shraga Potasznik, the comic-book-addicted protagonist of this novella to make good of all things worthwhile in this world. An heir to the rich modern Yiddish literary tradition, Michael Wex paints a vivid, hilarious picture of the hasidic demimonde. His is a view into Yiddish culture at once erudite and super hip, and always true to the cadences of a language that informs so much of modern North American culture.

My Etruscan Face is Gianna Patriarca s sixth book of poetry. Patriarca is a poet whose voice has not strayed from her first book, the awardwinning Italian Women and Other Tragedies: still direct, honest and lyrical. In this collection she takes us on an extraordinary quest for self and home as she encounters a myriad of characters with uniquely mysterious faces. Gianna takes the contradictions of human existence, the ordinary acts of living, and spins them into a startling prayer of redemption. She is pure feeling, and her poems are fully mortal, completely compassionate. This collection is a passionate woman's voracious embrace of the pleasures and the fears of life. She aims for the heart.
