A poetic documentary, the title reflects the biological marker of maleness, the "XY" chromosome. This poetic documentary of 170 poems celebrates the complex lives of men at the end of the twentieth century. The poets, male and female, young and old, straight, gay, adopted personas, and ethnically diverse have written about masculine myths, mysteries, and every day life with honesty and tenderness. 
The book is organized into files representing facets of the male experience: work, love, fathers and sons, outdoor life, the body, risk taking, archetypes, elegies and what men talk about. The editors note that the book is dedicated to the men in their lives who challenged us, cherished us, infuriated us and been our allies.

XY Files: Poems on the Male Experience

Rafaela, Judith

What is peace? We value it so highly but find it so difficult to define, recognize, or grasp. Is it something that is given to us? Do we make it anew each day, like bread? Can we start where we are? Does it have anything to do with our lives and how we think, or is it about the politics of nations? One hundred forty poems teach, inspire, and awaken us to the meaning of peace. Includes work by Naomi Shihab Nye, Judy Chicago, Arthur Sze, Margaret Randall, Joy Harjo, Jane Hirshfield, Ruth Stone, Thomas Fitzsimmons, and many others.

PRACTICE OF PEACE

Blending history, celebrations, and reconciliation of Jewish traditions with life in New Mexico, the circle of the Jewish year is saturated by the New Mexico experience as tashlich is performed in a desert river, and Passover coincides with Good Friday pilgrims making a holy journey to the Santuario de Chimayo. Includes work by Marjorie Agosin, Yehudis Fishman, Gene Frumkin, Natalie Goldberg, Judyth Hill, Joan Logghe, Consuelo Luz, Carol Moldow, Judith Rafaela, Miriam Sagan, and others.

A History of Light

Cardona-Hine, Alvaro

Lizard Light celebrates our sacred physical connection to the planet, and offers us a path not of ownership, but kinship, as part of the breathing world of ravens, rocks and constellations.

Lizard Light: Poems from the Earth

Harter, Penny

Memories of a shared childhood and family life alternate with short contemplations on the actual facts of a sister's suicide at age thirty. A meticulous and compassionate description of an American life, one small observable truth at a time without trying to explain, excuse, or provide easy answers.
