"There is nothing 'still' in the remarkably visceral poems of Alexander Long's third collection, Still Life, and nothing is at rest in these restless and edgy poems. Conversational and kinetic, these poems chart the traces left by the shifting overlays of the templates of literature, rock-and-roll, and contemporary culture. As each poem in Still Life attempts to fix a focus upon a scene or subject, the protean natures under view draw the poet into the eddies and complexities of reflection. This is a powerful and moving collection of poems."-- David St. John Alexander Long's books include Vigil and Light Here, Light There. He lives in Hoboken, New Jersey.

"Wilkins' poems are savage and beautiful, full of hard-won lives and a godawful tenderness. In this book Manifest Destiny is more than political rhetoric--it's a call to find the limits of survival. It has dust-stunned men, hardscrabble women, and a patient devil, sharpening his teeth."--Traci Brimhall "For Wilkins, the American West is no theme park or romantic diorama. He offers an earnest glimpse into past and present landscapes that are real and imagined, mourned and celebrated and witnessed--for these are human landscapes."--Michael McGriff Joe Wilkins is the author of The Mountain and the Fathers and Killing the Murnion Dogs.

"Roy Bentley's exceptional collection of poetry peels back the soul of Middle America to reveal its idiosyncrasies and enigmas. No tricks, no formulas; just plenty of surprises -- poignant, human, picaresque -- told in the direct language of an accomplished storyteller." -- John Brandi

"Baird's remarkable first collection is besieged by angels, messengers bearing often bitter, sometimes comic, always complicated home (and broken-home) truths. Hers is a well-stocked world inflected by elegiac understanding and a brisk, unflinching willingness to encounter the hard facts of a life marked by sadness, loss and disappointment." -- Eamon Grennan

"Agodon's book is a bright, funny, touching meditation on loss, love, and the power of words. Her genius is in the interweaving of God and Vodka, bees and bras, astronomy and astrology, quotes from Einstein and Dickinson, a world in which gossip rags in checkout lines and Neruda hum in the writer's mind with equal intensity."--Jeannine Hall Gailey "These are poems of remarkable liveliness. Here is a fresh, distinctive voice that is consistently engaging and surprising."--Carl Dennis Kelli Russell Agodon is the author of Small Knots and Geography and lives in a seaside community in the Pacific Northwest.

"Risk is a poetic autobiography played out on a kaleidoscopic panorama of history. Skeen's poems document a working-class childhood in Kentucky and Ohio, the loss of a brother, a mother's face 'as hard and bright as Formica,' and they detail the unexpected gift of a comfortable middle age in California, 'where / even convertibles make sense.' Skeen moves through the world with equal parts wariness and gratitude."--Gary Young "Risk holds the details of the past up to the light of the present with an eye that rescues American life mid-century. Most importantly, each poem risks the clarity necessary to discover the meaning of who we have become."--Christopher Buckley My Brother's Trombone for Ernie The instrument didn't come naturally to him. Nothing came naturally to him, not even death. He drowned in "The Song of the Volga Boatman." "Mastodon" rolled over and refused to come to life. I had my own troubles with the cornet. If he showed warnings of the difficulty ahead, I didn't take notice. Thirteen years old, I lorded it over his twelve. I kept my instrument behind my mother's cedar chest for years until I swapped it for a Brad Krieger painting which takes my mind off that time.After he was shot, I wanted to sell his trombone or give it away or bury it with his body. What good would that have done when each time I see a paperclip I recall the sound of his breath slipping through that trombone? Tim Skeen, who won the John Ciardi Prize for Poetry in 2001 for his book Kentucky Swami, coordinates the MFA program in creative writing at California State University, Fresno.

"Some Girls is full of strange and lovely images, quirky humor, and an uncanny insight into the classic myths and fairy tales that reveal these stories to be as true and revelatory as ever. The past and the present, the personal and the universal, are braided with surprising and lush language. The great poet Stanley Kunitz said we have to avoid not only cliches of language, but cliches of thought and these poems succeed in that. Janet McNally is a fresh and original voice."--Ellen Bass Janet McNally teaches creative writing at Canisius College and has an MFA in fiction from the University of Notre Dame.

White Pine Press Poetry Prize Winner "Rainer Maria Rilke said that there are two inexhaustible sources for poetry, childhood and dreams, and Kim Garcia drinks deeply from both wells in these magical, spooky, riveting, and mysterious poems"--Edward Hirsch "Garcia speaks in the language of delicate and mesmerizing touch without ever falling into precious sentimentality. Over and again, these poems mount to harsh and cold violences that speak to the intricacies of the soul in a gorgeous way that leaves the reader feeling bruised--as in pressed upon--but not bloody. This is a brilliant book of first-rate artistry."--Jericho Brown, Poetry Prize judge Kim Garcia is also the author DRONE and Madonna Magdalene. She teaches creative writing at Boston College.

"Through her fervent lyrics, delightful odes and image-rich narratives, Janlori Goldman invites us into her worldand it is a deeply moving one. With fluid, vivid clarity, she valiantly stares at the past, and faces the present with a compelling mix of temerity and tenderness. Hers is a remarkable voice that is all at once passionate and exquisitely subtle." Laure-Anne Bosselaar, Poetry Contest Judge"Seldom have I seen a book of poems so vital in its storytelling, so rich and precise in imagery and metaphor, and at the same time so full of heart and compassion." Alicia Ostriker"An intimate, tender voice tells of a life of sensual gladness, as well as loneliness and grief. The poems most often pay attention to neglected people and neglected truths, often neglected moments, often in the beauty of the earth." Jean ValentineFrom "At the Cubbyhole Bar":When the planes hit, you were there,saved your men, the whole squad,and they weren't even yours.A buddy had asked you to cover his shiftso he could spend the day with his kid.You say, All the guys are getting cancer,in the lungs, the stomach, in your case the breasts.That morning, after the buildings buckled,a brown skirt of cloud billowed up.You saw her, a bleached blondin purple satin shirt, no bodybelow the waist, thought how a human headweighs 8 pounds, lifted that weightof a newborn, and then the rest. Zipped the bag.You wanted to be a copbecause you hated cops,wanted to be that power.At the Canal Street barrier a lady pleadedto run home, get her dogyou said, No one below Canalbut she promised the risk was all on her.You knew it didn't work that way,spoke into her face, Come backwith that dog, bring him this wayso he can lick my cheek.Janlori Goldman is a poet, teacher, and activist.
