Poetry. "The last stanzas of Goldsmith's beautiful 'Finders Keepers' lay out her large achievement to discover and inhabit the 'radiance' whose light fills the 'dark thought', the spaces—of time? of mortality? of cosmic emptiness?—within and between us. This is the miracle poetry at its best can produce: the dark thought kept steadily in mind, its darkness illuminated without being blinded, without being sacrificed to light."—Irving Feldman

Fiction. "Lively, sparkling stories that, however close to memoir they may seem, have been transformed by imagination into something more worth the telling."—Carl Dennis

Pops, Martin

Poetry. "Born of keen attention and memory, these poems have been honed to a fine edge by Judith Slater's ability to marry intimacy and detachment, producing work that is insightful, incisive, and often breath-taking."—Margaret Gibson"Poem after poem...brings the past to shimmering life.... The poems convince by their steadiness of eye and mind, their resolution to be in the world and of the world."—Neil Shepard

Slater, Judith

Poetry. "These ionized pellets came to me over a span of years, in no particular order, according to no preconceived plan, except for their 6-5-6 syllable count.... In arranging them for print, I arbitrarily grouped them, more or less, by the personal pronoun sequence: me-you-him/her/it-us-you-them. What do you know! They turn out to sound like a kooky confession-cum-diatribe. But a completely random arrangement might have suited them as well or better.... Consider cutting up this book, baking each snippet of text into a fortune cookie, heaping the cookies into a bowl next to a microphone, and inviting a crowd to line up for the recital."--from the author's introduction

Poetry. "The immediate pleasure of Gail Fischer's poetry is in its supercharged language—torrents of rich words and combinations of sounds. Yet the language is always in the service of distinctive topics and the topics a re-developed into moving moments. RED BALL JETS is filled with flashes of surprise and delight."—Thomas Frosch

Red Ball Jets

Fischer, Gail

Poetry. "CONSOLATIONS is a book as intelligent as it is lyrical, as interested in philosophy as in poetry, as tampered with as it is sincere, as classical as experimental, with a paradoxically 'original' sound, especially in its striking attention to the rhetoric of conviction, to bibliographic manners, and to the potential for the sublime."--Rachel Blau DuPlessis "Boethius's Consolation of Philosophy was written in prison; Jeremiah Bowen's CONSOLATIONS unearths an escape route through a system of erasure. Although in the tradition of Ronald Johnson's RADI OS and Jen Bervin's NETS, CONSOLATIONS goes beyond selective removal; it mixes its residuals so that its origins are practically untraceable. This is an 'emended' edition, a correction (and a fierce alternative) to the certainties of philosophical truths. In such a work, the language of authority must step aside and make room for a world of new rhetorical possibilities."--Jena Osman "In this text of CONSOLATIONS, 'mutability' and 'frenzy' exchange, on every page, towards a book that is part philosophy, part poetry. Jeremiah Bowen is that rare animal who combines lyric gifts with narrative ones, and I am glad, as his reader, to be part of what his writing is: both an 'interlude' and a 'sting.' I sting myself, reading his book, a book that 'sings.' A book that is 'paralyzed by song.' Reading is writing, pleasure is pain, as Bowen writes this body, a book-body. As it burns."--Bhanu Kapil

The story of a developing friendship between the aujavascript:void(0)thor and her Arab-American typist during the late 'sixties and early 'seventies. It reads like fiction, but the characters and places are all real. It is non-fiction fiction and you could call it a love story, a meta-novel, a social document, a feminist parable, a cautionary tale about race, a goofy and sexy cock-and-bull story, a tale of child-abuse, an oral history set in Niagara Falls, NY, and a lot of other things. But you won't call it any of them, because all the people in it really exist and really engage your understanding, without any identity-politics grandstanding. Carole Southwood has no thesis to preach, no fine sentiments to parade, no profundity or cleverness to impress you with. She knows that truth is indeed stranger than fiction but does not need a sensational truth to convince you-this is not In Cold Blood or The Executioner's Song, but non-fiction fiction of a much finer sort-a story so true and so real that it would never work as a movie. \"Much like the work of Jennifer Egan, the story of Abdoo is one that makes me excited to be a reader and a writer, drinking in the complex relationship between the author and her subject while being inspired about the potential of language and storytelling to dig deep into some of the most difficult conversations we can have about ourselves and the places we live." - Amy Bass, author of ONE GOAL and THOSE ABOUT HIM REMAINED SILENT
