Paperback. Etat : Good. Following her husband's massive heart attack, Cynthia Hogue began writing poems based on dreams and memories that he, born during WWII in occupied France, had as a child growing up in a time of vast postwar food shortages. Hogue embarked on a quest to discover if there were more such memories in her extended family in France.

Paperback. Etat : Good. Genevieve Kaplan?s in the ice house offers an innovative meditation on domestic life and the physical world that surrounds it, chronicling ?at least the beginnings of some disaster? taking place in a landscape that ?had no symmetry.? Deftly channeling poets like Wallace Stevens and John Ashbery, as well as invoking Kaplan?s own distinct poetic sensibility, these poems reveal an atmospheric and wondrous world filled with odd and compelling images. Readers confront the menace of the ordinary, ?the whale-faced spout of the drainpipe, the cluck / of the chicken-bird? and how ?the light attacks / the window and the stress of the shining / does not ease.? The poet?s insistent evocation of elemental images?the birds, the ice, the water?becomes almost incantatory, as the speaker seeks escape from ?the frantic outside? she?s trapped within. Kaplan?s sky ?has the depth / of an ocean,? and this book deeply articulates how ?silence is the only word that can replace loss.? Moving artfully between internal desires and incisive observations of the external, these stunning poems radiate with both heat and ice.…

Paperback. Etat : Good. Winner of the 12th Annual Nicholas Roerich Poetry PrizeThe presiding spirit behind Ginger Andrews' first book An Honest Answer must be William Carlos Williams. When he said he wrote in the speech of Polish mothers, he could have included the American working class anywhere. The sinewy resilience of Andrews' individual poems honors the tradition of his free verse lyrics. She listens for the poetic measure in American speech and reproduces it in unique forms. I would venture to say that the poetry of Ginger Andrews is as close to the tradition of Williams as American free verse has ever been. As for the voice speaking to us in these poems, it is as fresh as Ray Carver's seemed 25 years ago. Another poet who comes to mind is her fellow Northwesterner Vern Rutsala, himself a descendent of Williams who, like Williams, has kept his eye on the working poor throughout his career. Andrews is a working class, born again Sappho, an Ahkmatova who cleans houses and teaches Sunday school. These figures come to mind not for the sake of hyperbole, but to help understand the originality of this new and remarkable poet.--From the preface by Mark JarmanGinger Andrews was born in North Bend, Oregon in 1956. Her poems have appeared in The Hudson Review, Poetry, River Sedge, Fireweed and The American Voice. In 1997, she received the Mary Scheirman Award at the Coos Bay Writers Conference. She cleans houses for a living, and is a janitor and Sunday school teacher at North Bend Church of Christ. …

Paperback. Etat : Good. "Ching-In Chen's first book, The Heart's Traffic, constructs a re-naming, a caterwaul call to arms to attend to an archipelago of hybrid identity: political, sexual and always love-persuaded. Here the father is temporary, the mother is dead-alive and girls are writing tiger-legends through sestina, haibun, and the lost letters that must be reinvented if we can understand this new American body. The author necessarily offers up her riddles without answers, her ultimatum of banishment and homecoming with good food and sweet intention. She assures us, "I am kissing a new body into flesh." ?Sarah Gambito.…
