Poetry. Religion. PSALTER is a book of psalms for the agnostic who still looks for sacred order in the doubter's soul, in the heart's intelligence, in the voice of the PSALTER's own singer. The very molecules of our makeup force an order to her consciousness: "Constellations alone are proof // that matter is on the loose, capable / of an inexplicable agreement."  "Poetry is how we recognize immaterial dreams and wishes. A true poet must be part Sufi, part skeptic; both mathematician and map maker. In PSALTER: THE AGNOSTIC'S BOOK OF COMMON CURIOSITIES, Georgia Popoff's narrator is all of these and more. The poems in this rich new collection are unafraid of the soul." stephen kuusisto"

Literary Nonfiction. Poetry. Essays. This is Pulitzer-Prize-winning poet Stephen Dunn's first collection of essays since Walking Light. "There comes a time in a poet's development as a writer and as a reader when he or she is more interested in how a poem gets from here to there, and in what formal decisions have been made to achieve this or that effect, than in what the poem means. Or in locating the crossroad moment or moments when a poem could have gone one way, but instead was taken another way, which led to the rightness of a discovery. Such attention will eventually take us to meaning, if meaning is what we're after...The poems to which I'm most drawn deliver the here and now of our existence while being inherently philosophical. If they wander from where they began, as they often do, I know from whence they came, and perhaps how their concealments are connected to their revelations. I want them to engage the heart and the mind simultaneously, and if they move us, it's not necessarily to tears. This book attempts to investigate where we are, how we got there, and where we might arrive if we make the moves that point the way."--Stephen Dunn, from the Introduction
