Poetry. "Doug MacPherson and Edward Smallfield have managed to combine some of the more powerful lines of recent memory in poems skillfully whittled down to the marrow. They have also splayed together intricately lyrical narratives ranging from imperial and postwar Japan to modern day California, evincing lust's inevitable train wreck of pursuit, attainment, and aftermath"-David Harrison Horton. "The graceful turning of provocative images draws one into a colorful and unpredictable course"-Denise Newman.

Poetry. "This is writing of high intelligence and an architectural sense of structure. The title series, `swarm lure,' takes as its occasion the language of Italian beekeeping. Like Montale's `The Pledge,' constructed of motets, each section is a movement in time and presence, a part of the whole comb. This is poetry that can `cry the wagon and its horse tightly up a mountain,' which is to say it matters"--Paul Hoover. "Lure over lore tumbling, head over heels, image and prosody, Laura Walker translates the lushness of fragment. Her poems--hungry, bewildered--are incarnated on memory's body, her mysterious gesture "writing recipes on our arms"--Elizabeth Robinson.

Poetry. "Stephen Hemenway's attention to language is constant, and his attention to "reality" is equally faithful. The world of people, of cities and of nature is rendered with an honesty that is possible only in the most serious of poetries. There is a gravity, an acceptance of the responsibilities that speech entails, in every syllable of this beautiful book"--Edward Smallfield. "Pondering and playful, discrete yet expansive, Stephen Hemenway's "books" exude the elegance and emotion of an ideal gallery installation. The whole moving adventure is both conceptual and imbued with unmistakable sensibility defined uniquely through the work alone--a hallmark of compelling poetry"--Stacy Doris.
