Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "Kevin Oberlin's deft sonnets, like the Texas chanteuse they describe, are lively and picaresque, 'nervy' and 'coy, ' and they unreel their story with dazzling speed."--Michael Collier "In sonnets so marvelously subtle and fluid that we don't even wake up to the fact that they are sonnets, K…evin Oberlin guides us into the life of a girl in the spotlight. These little A-list marvels of craft open up the world of a young B-list Texas jazz singer, her over-the-top mother, her venues, her agent, and her creepy fans. Oberlin makes it clear that despite the details of hotels, cell phones, poker hands, and trips to the gym, these poems are more importantly about persistence, bravery, the sweat beneath the shine, and the act of singing itself. He's written an ars poetica, a poet's take on a singer's soul. There's no chaff here, only a handful of beautiful, flexible, elastic sonnets written with natural ease."--Molly Peacock "No star-struck lover or dark mistress inhabits these lively sonnets but a flesh-and-blood, poker-playing Texan with a cell phone, an agent, an anxious mother, and a load of her own worries as she tries to make it in the music business. From the Star Spangled Banner at a racetrack to the warm-up for B. B. King, Spotlit Girl is a nimble character study that captures both the craziness of a performer's life and the time-stopping intimacy between a vocalist and her audience. The singer's in the spotlight, and Kevin Oberlin has the focus and the dazzle to make her shine."--Don Bogen "Kevin Oberlin's deft sonnets, like the Texas chanteuse they describe, are lively and picaresque, 'nervy' and 'coy,' and they unreel their story with dazzling speed." - Michael Collier "In sonnets so marvelously subtle and fluid that we don't even wake up to the fact that they are sonnets, Kevin Oberlin guides us into the life of a girl in the spotlight.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "Tornado is a book of ravishing and precise beauty. Death, said Wallace Stevens, is the mother of beauty, and so it is here; around the loss of a beloved sister in childhood, Ted Lardner has spun a radiant web of language by which he reveals what does not and cannot die, in the scale of natu…re above and underground, in the movements of time, and in the ongoing reach of human tenderness that 'glides through our skins like a wave, lighting it up from inside.'"--Alicia Ostriker "Ted Lardner enlarges our range of wonder. For him, the task is to bring the jolt of another world to us by showing us that a springtime apple tree is 'a brain in flower' that comes to us 'from the other side of human language.' Each line of Tornado sends out a beam that flashes in the line then bounces like sonar in the reader's deeper parts where we keep our beloved dead. . . . It's as if Lardner did not write on a keyboard but with a typewriter ball with images, not letters. The 'tornado' is his image for leaving, for an 'intersection' where the living pass beyond the visible yet begin the Orphic need for imagination. At the center of this vortex Ted Lardner creates the space where the dead still have their Being and make their Rilkean demand that we change our lives. This is a wonderful book."--Bill Tremblay "Tornado is a book of ravishing and precise beauty.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "Like Cole Porter, Sarah Perrier turns a world-weary and tender gaze toward the unruly carnival we call love. Perrier shrugs off the post-modern shrugs. In these elegant, wise-cracking, and subversive poems, the inherent estrangement, deception, and screwball comedy of romance is revealed an…d savored. With the smarts and prescience of Lear's fool, with the mischief of both Ariel and Caliban, she gene-slices the comic into the tragic, the tragic into the comic, to make a new and radiantly original poetry." -Eric Pankey Sarah Perrier turns a world-weary and tender gaze toward the unruly carnival we all love. In these poems, the inherent estrangement, deception, and screwball comedy of romance is revealed and savoured.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "'Everywhere we have been since beginning/Is Mapped in the memory somewhere, ' writes Susan Neale at the outset of this ambitiously conceived and enormously satisfying collection of poems. Here is a poet who wants nothing less than to know the past. Her fields of study are the history of lig…ht and darkness, of language and other ways of saying, of reality and dream, and, especially, of women and men as they move toward one another and away in their seismic, often cataclysmic dancing, a continental rift and drift originating in a long-ago state of innocence and wholeness Neal calls 'the heart's Pangaea.' In this debut collection sure to attract wide attention, Susan Neale gives us richly detailed maps leading to discoveries about where we human beings have been, where we are, and where in the world, together and apart, we're bound."--David Citino This collection of poems is driven by the poet's desire to know the past. She studies the history of light and darkness, of language and other ways of saying, of reality and dream, and especially, of women and men as they move towards and away from one another in their often cataclysmic dance.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "Jason Gray's How to Paint the Savior Dead rethinks the complex traditional connections among women's bodies, spirituality, and art. Gray is not afraid of hard work, hard thought, and big vision just because the subject of his fascination has been both exalted and besmirched by tradition, bo…th enriched and impoverished by the hands of our predecessors. Gray throws himself into the mix of muses, amore, and immortality with more--much more--than common wit, passion, and intelligence. As he separates out mortal beauty from immortal, he ignores, as one of his poems says, 'what is heavenly for what is Heaven.'" -- Andrew Hudgins "Jason Gray ends his sequence 'Meditations of the Tomb Painters' with the lines: 'Here is my heart in paint, a stowaway / Inside the art that only God would see.' And indeed, in all of Gray's work there is a sense that the heart, the faithful and abiding heart, is best (and most safely) transported via the artifice of poetry. From the heart-wrenching, blank-verse ekphrastic 'My Daughter as the Angel Gabriel . . .' to the heartily clever nonce 'You Put Your Right Hand In. . ., ' this is work that is always worshipful of its medium." -- Kathy Fagan "The ekphrastic poems in How to Paint the Savior Dead celebrate and enact the power of words to exhume a living body--a human's or a god's--from the stilled depths of the painted image. Jason Gray, a chiaroscurist drawn to the drama at the border between light and dark, the seen and the hidden, and the sacred and the profane, writes wisely, wryly, wonderfully, and, at times, wickedly about the 'common beauty' of the quotidian and the 'mundane miracle' of the divine." -- Eric Pankey "Jason Gray's How to Paint the Savior Dead rethinks the complex traditional connections among women's bodies, spirituality, and art.

His response to what he is left with is to remake what he can in figures of comprehension and compassion.

This is honest and lovely writing."--Stanley Plumly This volume provides a collection of the work of American poet, Joe Bonomo.
