Eight years after poet Philip Ramp left America for Greece, he returned for a visit. Everything looked different to him, in a way that he knew he wouldn't have seen if he had been living there. Arrivals and Departures is based on that experience, with arriving and departing switching roles in the poems, depending on mood and place.

The year in 1968 and idealistic anti-war activists David and Jill have moved to an abandoned hill farm in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom to start a commune-hoping to refocus their efforts to build a new society. Joined by a rotating cast of committed activists and fairweather freeloaders alike, David and Jill are confronted by the harsh environment of northern Vermont, where they discover the complexity of country life, make connections with thei...

Small bas-relief scenes, some with sculpted figures, were made by Peter Schumann in the early 1970s, are paired with a biographical narrative pieced together from several interviews with Elka Schumann, in parallel with Peter's earlier images, each telling its own analogous story.

In 1917, during the construction of a large reservoir in the Catskill hamlet of Gilboa, New York, a young paleontologist named Winifred Goldring identified fossils from an ancient forest flooded millions of years ago when the earth's botanical explosion of oxygen opened a path for the evolution of humankind. However, the reservoir water was needed for NYC, and the fossils were buried once again during the flooding of the doomed town.A mix of f...

Barefoot we waded out into the deep until the current took us downstream. On the way we pulled stars from the river and let them fall through our fingers back into the sky. It grew late and the houses on the shore went out one by one, claimed by the silence.

Views that inspire, that calm, or that terrify - all come at some cost to the viewer. In Views Cost Extra you will find a New Jersey high school preppy who wants to inhabit the "perfect" cowboy movie, a rural mailman disgusted with the residents of his town who wants to live with the penguins, an ailing screen writer who strikes a deal with Johnny Cash to reverse an old man's failures, an old man who ponders a young man's suicide attempt, a on...

An intense exploration of cultural displacement, Sunken Boulevards evokes an ebullient dreamscape where here and there, past and now, self and other collide within the poignant synchronicity of memory and longing. The book is composed of two intersecting sequences of poems and images, which, while mutually independent, spark subtle correspondences along the sunken boulevards of the unconscious mind.

Painter and author Roger Colman used a handmade journal to reflect on the Covid year 2020. The World Was Late: Pages from Isolation combines painting, found texts, cartoons, photographic images, and drawings into collages with a beautiful and unsettling view of a locked down year.

Improvisational Arguments is written in free verse to capture the essence of modern problems and triumphs. The poems clearly relate short, frequently humorous and occasionally tragic, stories about travels to exotic and unusual places, fantastic realms, abnormal jobs, artistic innovations, political objections, and misadventures with love.

Sarah Macmillan always puts family first, but she can't quite stretch her arms wide enough to hold on to everyone as they all age: her career-minded, inattentive younger sister, Glennie, their grandparents, who are slowly fading, or a pregnancy Sarah desperately wanted. But it's her tumultuous relationship with Glennie that makes Sarah feel the loneliest. She'd always believed that their relationship was foundational, even unbreakable. Though ...

Joe Lamport has translated 78 poems written in China during the first millennium of the Common Era, poems by a diverse group of writers, many of them Buddhists of one stripe or another, others Daoists or fellow travelers of the Buddhist faith. But even among those who identified as practicing Buddhists, it may be misleading to suppose much commonality of faith: Buddhist spiritual beliefs and practices in China evolved considerably over the cou...

Peter Schumann, the director of the world-famous Bread & Puppet Theater, under seige by Covid in his studio, has been painting on a huge collection of old bedsheets donated to the theater, and scrawling wisdom screeds on small pieces of paper. He, like most of us, is appalled by the stupidity triumphant, steering the planet toward several destinations of doom. At the same time, nursing his indomitable spirit, Schumann, unlike many of us, can i...

Fred Rosenblum is not going to let us off easy. He's the anti-romantic - a blue-collar poet and bus driver's son with an affinity for the Beats' drug-induced poetic style. He saw combat in Vietnam, returned home and took to the road, destined for Alaska and positions as a deckhand on a commercial fishing boat, and a day laborer at the Sitka Pulp Mill - jobs that would sustain him when he wasn't stoned out of his mind. Fred's Alaska is not the ...
