Poetry

Poetry. I see crystal spires rising between us feel/ something growing large within me// The heart no longer fits within my hand/ but moves beyond your shadow. Compassion and generosity ... These are the qualities that come to mind when I think of Gail Mitchell and her wide - open poetry. Ranging over a personal history interwoven with the re-making of America into a more poetic country, this writer should be read, must be heard. Her voice is touched by the streets, fired by the imagination, anchored in the heart -- Neeli Cherkovski.

Bone Songs

Mitchell, Gail

Poetry. "...Forever at play in the fields of the word, Q.R. Hand is a homegrown American original. Place this book to your ear and hear: 'All those beautiful fine / all those fine / all those who spread their love along the line / that stretches through heart beat and heart ache'"--Al Young. "Q.R. Hand's poetry traverses the terrain of form, music, and language. This is an inspired, well crafted poetry that is political in intent and spirited in execution and defies any comparison to any literary precursors or contemporary schools of thought. Q.R. Hand is an entity unto himself; a true visionary walks among us"--Reginald Lockett.

Whose Really Blues

q. r. hand jr.

Poetry. African American Studies. Latino/Latina Studies. LGBT Studies. With drawings by Eliza Land Shefler. "Introducing herself as storyteller, 'wild woman,' a 'bonafide sound junkie,' nothing slows or dampens Avotcja's passion for the power and wonder of music. Guided by ancient, ancestral wisdom, she refuses to separate poetry and storytelling from song or dance. In 'Blue to the Bone,' her rhapsodic tribute to Oakland's uncrowned poet laureate, Reginald Lockett (1947-2008), musician-poet-broadcaster Avotcja could just as well be describing her own esthetic. 'Reggie was the real deal,' she croons. Melodically keyed to what she calls 'la palabra musical,' Avotcja's rhythmic testament—decades in the making—celebrates the world-changing spirit of human creativity while condemning its cold-blooded, tone-deaf assassins."—Al Young

With Every Step I Take

Avotcja

Poetry. Native American Studies. Drawings by Marcer Campbell. "'You will know the poets by the dirt under our nails,' writes Kim Shuck in CLOUDS RUNNING IN, a spirited, witty, moving book of poetry that sings the mystical connections in everyday life. Shuck's vivid imagery balances dark moods and self- deprecating humor. Drawing on her Cherokee and Polish roots, Shuck offers us the bittersweet music of lyrically expressed memory and the generational trauma of the Native American holocaust, lived in nerve and bone."— Linda Rodriguez

Clouds Running In

Shuck, Kim

Poetry. Women's Studies. African & African American Studies. California Interest. "Jeanne Powell's latest collection of poetry entitled TWO SEASONS must rank among her best work, either poems or essays. These poems are inspiring and inspired because of their uncanny ability to transmit genuine feelings of rage and love, justice and injustice, with an eloquence and power that few contemporary American writers can match."--Dennis Dalton
