Paperback. Etat : Good. Poetry. Latinx Studies. Native American Studies. WEAVING THE TERAIN: 100-WORD SOUTHWESTERN POEMS is the third collection in a unique series from Dos Gatos Press--Poetry of the American Southwest--following up on LIFTING THE SKY: SOUTHWESTERN HAIKU AND HAIGA (2013) and BEARING THE MASK: SOUTHWESTERN PERSONA POEMS (2016). Each poem is exactly one hundred words, no more, no less. Within this restriction, however, you'll find poems as varied as the landscape, the history, the people they evoke. WEAVING THE TERAIN includes stunning prose poems and haibun, as well as poems in every shape made possible by a poet's imagination and the hundred words chosen. Each poem is a concentrated gem on a topic related to the broad area known as the Southwest. Editors David Meischen and Scott Wiggerman have arranged 211 poems by 151 poets in eight engaging chapters, opening with These Immediate Splendors, poems that will immerse you in momentary delights, and closing with Necklace of Stones, poems that explore grief, loss, endurance. In between, you'll find chapters with these evocative titles: Body of Memory, Songs of the Living, Sienna and Sand, Half-Lives Slowly Ticking, All Hunger and Thirst, and Rooted in Resilience. Award-winning poets include Dorothy Alexander, Gloria Amescua, Shayna Begay, Alan Birkelbach, Lauren Camp, Chip Dameron, Gregory Louis Candela, karla k. morton, Elina Petrova, Brenda Nettles Riojas, Sharon Suzuki-Martinez, Larry D. Thomas, and Loretta Diane Walker.…

Paperback. Etat : Good. Literary Nonfiction. Poetics. Writing Reference. WINGBEATS: EXERCISES AND PRACTICE IN POETRY is an exciting collection of exercises by fifty-eight wonderfully diverse teaching poets both in (Oliver de la Paz, Ravi Shankar, Patricia Smith) and out (Ellen Bass, Robert McDowell, Naomi Shihab Nye) of academia. In seven chapters, ranging from Springboards to Imagination to Chancing the Accidental to Complicating the Poem, each exercise includes not only clear step-by-step instructions, but numerous poems that exemplify the successful completion of the exercise, some by the authors of the exercises, some by their students. WINGBEATS' exercises incorporate numerous approaches: working in pairs and/or groups, incorporating research and/or the Internet, writing outdoors, and others, all easily found in the book's unique Alternate Table of Contents. Of course, traditional poetic techniques covering metaphor, persona, forms, and revision are also included. WINGBEATS, which poet Cole Swensen calls indispensable, belongs in every poet's library.Contributors: Rosa Alcal , Wendy Barker, Ellen Bass, Tara Betts, Catherine Bowman, Susan Briante, Sharon Bridgforth, Nathan Brown, Jenny Browne, Andrea Hollander Budy, Lisa D.

Watson, Afaa Michael Weaver, William Wenthe, Scott Wiggerman, Abe Louise Young, and Matthew Zapruder.WINGBEATS is a fabulous toolbox of innovative and practical ideas that literally every teacher of poetry workshops and at every level, from elementary poets-in-the-schools through the graduate MFA, will find indispensable. Covering a vast range from image to sound to form, the exercises are all concrete and clearly presented--a marvelous way to mine the imaginations and experiences of today's most dynamic poets. Invaluable --Cole SwensenI opened WINGBEATS--and fell in headfirst, caught in the feathers of the creative impulse. WINGBEATS proves that poetry matters, that writing is an experimental discovery process, that there are many avenues to success, that writing poems is a gift we can all claim. The wealth of enabling nudges by the poets of WINGBEATS--who share their energy, wisdom, and examples--opens the door wide to our creative Selves. No teacher, no aspiring poet, should be without the gentle guidance of this book.--Gabriele Rico. …

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. In this stunning debut story collection, everyone's got the blues but nobody is willing to sing it. Evelyn Smith, Candace Lambert, and Dorene Wahrmund chafe against rigid small-town expectations. Others in hardscrabble Nopalito find themselves fenced in--an aging gay liquor store owner estranged among his neighbors, a mother and son bound by mutual resentment, two neighboring farm boys attracted to each other. Their stories are driven by desperation, rarely spoken, that troubles the community's inhabitants as it nudges them toward connection, toward moments of hope. Meischen draws these characters with a tenderness that belies the hardness of their lives.…
