QuickviewIn Other Days by Roger Craik
New Releases, Poetry“Every moment of Roger Craik's In Other Days is an event of inviolable music, golden, as the best of music always is, with both finitude and duration. And I use the word “golden” most particularly here, as these poems--whether urban or pastoral, whether fond or furious--impart a radiance to their idiom identical to that burnished radiance we find in the paintings of Samuel Palmer or the enigmas of Elgar. Craik adventures far beyond pathos and nostalgia, into something like a prospect of eternity. I am both thrilled and consoled by this poetry.” —Donald Revell$16.00 -

QuickviewLAST by E.J. McAdams

QuickviewLittle Cliffs by Paul Naylor

Both characters (Kai and Chishō) and narrator struggle to transcend binaries while wandering the brushy canyonland of eastern San Diego and studying “The Uncertainty Sutra,” The Rule-Governed Sutra, “The Sutra That Shouldn’t Be Written,” etc. Narration enacts choice. Here choices are made, unmade, and remade in a prose poem as serious and light as a sutra.” —Rae Armantrout$16.00 -
QuickviewLove at the End by Wade Stevenson

QuickviewMy Kinship With The Lotus Eaters by Lewis LaCook

All of these offer the reader a highly promising springboard into a unique poetic adventure. —Marilyn L. Taylor$16.00
