"Two reservation Indians get drunk, break into the Indian Museum, steal old-time costumes, weapons...and set off to hunt down a buffalo. Snook, chief of reservation police, and a deputy set out to run the pair down...Ude uses them [Coyote tales] with the skill of a neoclassicist drawing on Greco-Roman mythology to build a theme alien to the European mind, yet naggingly familiar at some deep level. The result is a kind of spiritual experience...Ude's character development is as leisurely and effortless as his pacing of the story.... Becoming Coyote is recommended reading." -American Book Review  Wayne Ude grew up in Harlem, Montana, near the Ft. Belknap Indian Reservation. He is the author of three published books of fiction, including a book of short stories, Buffalo and Other Stories and an award winning children's book, Maybe I Will Do Something: Seven Tales of Coyote. He is currently the Director of the Whidbey Writers Workshop, a low-residency MFA program on Whidbey Island, Washington.

Becoming Coyote (Lynx House Press)

The Devil Take a Crooked House, Tom O'Leary's long-awaited second book, is like Fool at the Funeral, awash with ribaldry, blarney, and winning Irish formality which references the tragic. It cannot be mistaken for the work of any other writer.

"I don't know of anyone handling the American language with a hotter torch than what Dev Hathaway uses in his best stories. Even in some of the decidedly uncompromising, shall we say unconventional, stories, I keep reading, just to hear the electricity sizzle, to smell the sparks." -Rick Bass  "Dev Hathaway is the David Lynch of short fictioneers, in possession of a magician's hat full of voices and illusions. Secret, strange feelings, their phrasing classical or jazzy, together produce a tone of all-abiding serenity, like what you hear in ballads and legends." -Bob Shacochis  Dev Hathaway taught English and writing at Shippensburg University in Pennsylvania until his death in 2005. He is the author of numerous numerous essays and two short story collections, The Widow's Boy and Skylarking on Honeysuckle Road.

"The deftly drawn settings and sensitively rendered landscapes that were created with such sensual prose in the early work became more challenging in the later work, as if testing his reader's tolerance for following him into ever more technically demanding altitudes of prose. If only the most supple of readers reached the pole, those were the readers he wanted. But you were also rewarded for getting there. If he laid down his prose like a gauntlet, you were a more agile reader than when you began the course if you survived it." - Roger L. Conover, from the Introduction

Beautiful Daughter: A Hendrie Reader

Hendrie Jr., Don

"At the heart of this poignant book is grief, is, as Lynne Burris Butler writes, 'the enormity / of what we know too late.' These poems have been distilled in the crucible of hard experience; they sparkle with life's ironies, with the contention between an image of order and a chaotic violence ready to erupt just at the edge of vision."

Butler, Lynne Burris

In Sympathetic Systems, Carole Simmons Oles explores with great poignancy and precision the landscape of parenthood where it is most difficult to know one's own heart and mind, that is, where independence collides with love and concern. These are beautiful, necessary poems.

Robbins, Doren

History & Criticism

This winner of the Balcones Prize for Poetry contains poems of family, love, betrayal, belief, and profound speculation. It is a poetry of long, musical lines, astonishingly original metaphor, and clear and direct voice. This is a remarkably intimate and moving work.
