In Matthew Haughton's Stand in the Stillness of Woods, the inner life of a native Kentuckian is placed against the external life of that same landscape, and the two visions illuminate each other.

Sandra Becker's Imperfect Matter suggests that nothing in this world, not even yearning, is perfect, yet reaches always toward that sublimity.

The Dividings takes the reader on a journey from “setting out” to “crossing over,” with junctures along the way that demand or invite attention and decision.

Perie Longo's poems, in Baggage Claim, cast a look at the familiarity of her early life before she journeys forward into unfamiliar territory, loss of her husband, the insecurity of security, war, and the politics of survival before she returns home at the edge of her field. Much is discarded, and what has always had profound meaning is claimed, with clearer vision and even appreciation for advancing age, gifted with grandchildren who teach her other ways to fly.

In Another Autumn, Yvonne Higgins Leach connects to the world in a big way – through an empathetic heart that seeks to understand the mysteries of the human experience. These poems fully embrace the seasons of life and they do so splendidly through perfectly chosen images, simple language, and a genuine voice.

Always, Julia Lisella's new collection of lyric and free-verse poems, explores the transition from youth to midlife when what once seemed like impossible or impassable hurdles that might have made us feel hopeless in our twenties-war, hypocrisy, pain, illness, death, terrible grief-are full of creative possibilities for us later in life, to renew or even to reinvent. Characters emerge in Always that explore, observe, and instruct: St. Francis, a young boy, teenage girls, a mother in mid-life, husbands and wives, teachers and students, 19th century writers, and dead parents who speak from their full lives into the future.

Always

Lisella, Julia

Off the Chart is a collection sparked by encounters with everyday patients in rural Virginia, where the James River cuts between the Appalachians and the Blue Ridge, just below Purgatory Mountain. Molly O'Dell's poems provide a glimpse of the practice of medicine before health systems reigned and document the foundation from which one ordinary girl learned, with her patients, the art of healing materializes when hearts converge, in a shared place and time, off the chart. These poems are a tribute to the places and people who transformed her along the way.

Lavinia Kumar's vivid and sometimes first-person poems in The Skin and Under explore a body of history through world-wide healers who may use natural remedies, magic, potions, special rituals, or the familiar scalpel.

Kumar, Lavinia

John Bradley’s EROTICA ATOMICA is a theater of the absurd, and the macbre: the worst weapons of the twentieth century examined in painstaking, mad detail, becoming surreal objects of our own folly.
