The Melon-Carts Have Overturned: Chinese Wu Songs

Zeiser, Linda

Jeanne Lupton writes, I enjoy writing tanka as emotional diary, as a way to peace, as a song of nature, as a reminder of love, as play and work, as connection, as celebration, as gift, as a practice in concision, as a practice in honesty, as a way of life. These are free form tanka that give uplift and depth to our everyday experience. Most of these tanka have appeared in tanka journals.

But Then You Danced: Tanka

Jeanne Lupton

Poetry. "This book is a life intersecting with many lives. Poems that read like narratives traverse years of suffering, learning and delight. They open doors of Provincetown, summer camp, prep school, the mental ward, Russian novels. With unerring rhythm and in countless ways Marc Hofstadter sings his passion to the reader's heart"--Neal Oxenhandler.

Literary Nonfiction. Memoir. What if you lived your life from an inward calling? What does the risk entail? Patricia Hughes, mother, breadwinner, writer, found the world disciplined her mercilessly to make a living&mdash;she persevered, keeping to her path: "Old woman circling my life, warding off, guarding. Will you attack, then? No threat am I, barely standing on my own two feet. Stuttering and falling over myw ords, no sword dangling between my legs to trip me up, only my own ideas. You look at me. I do not know enough to read your face. Suspicion? Wariness? What look is that? Nothing I have seen before in my life." "In this writing, we are given a rare glimpse into what it takes to reach one's soul. Raw and honest, we see her vulnerability and strength as she ventures into the dark recesses of memory. No edges are softened. Writing through pain, she found her voice and tells her story. As readers, we have the privilege of traveling with her, bearing witness to her search."&mdash;Reverend Susan Bamburak

Biographies & Memoirs

Literary Nonfiction. Memoir. SALT AND PAPER is a daily reflection that is immediate and an accumulation of life experience in poetry and prose fragments placing a heartfelt, yet realistic light on difficult subjects as the author speaks of aging: a friend's slow demise with Alzheimer's; the lifelong effect of a brother's mental illness; the present, lived aging process; the interlacing of four generations--and, the creative, writing life that responds with compassion, humor, art.

Poetry. Prose poems...or short shorts? Grafton's writing is a hybrid style distinguished by sensate labyrinthine takes on life that are powered by reversals that drop the bottom out and fragment combinations that contain complete scenarios. These prose poem short shorts are language-driven, glints of narrative delivering irony both witty and dark.

Literary Nonfiction. Memoir. FINE FINE MUSIC is a collection of stories about the other side of rock and roll and coming of age in the land that time forgot. Lake Ronkonkoma is stuck in 1981, an alcoholic blackout of unnatually tan people waxing their Camaros to Foreigner on cassette and knowing the words to every Billy Joel song whether you want to or not. From an internship making Seamonkey costumes, a childhood fear of My Buddy dolls, and a heartbreaking crush on Aerosmith, funny lady Cassie J. Sneider delivers her tales of growing up in a land of fist-pumping Snookies with the antagonistic wit of a record store clerk.

Fiction. Philosophy. Foreword by Andrew Joron. Neither classifiable as fiction nor philosophy, ITCH recounts its narrator's arousal to the possibility of narration, while dredging through the viscera of corporeal awareness to find succor in the prospect of the telling of the tale. Written in propositional aphorisms both sinuously dense and lyrically precise, ITCH occupies a diegetic space somewhere between the austerity of Wittgenstein's Philosophical Investigations and the confessional interruptions of Stern's Tristram Shandy—philosophy with an unreliable narrator, fiction plotted from the compass of first premises to the abject specificity of sensation, of the itch...
