Thomas DeFreitas gives voice to his own wonder and worship in this collection that shows us "a metaphysical / Somerville, / where pigeons / recite scripture." The poems are prayers of joy and longing, where the poet dreams of "summer-limber dancers, " "the Armory, " and "a lake of grace." I know the places DeFreitas brings us, but in his poems, I'm greeted "with a mad patch / of song." His city-with its churches and church basements-is transfo...

Raíces, Relics, and Other Ghosts is a lamentation for the loss of familial connection, and with it, the people and the history that are the seeds of identity. Using the life cycle of flora-plants, trees, and the complex network of roots that tie them to their native soil-this collection explores displacement. To lose a home. To lose a language. To lose connection to one's own ancestors. To lose a grounding sense of self. This litany of losses,...

The poems in Lori Levy's chapbook burst with color, a world filled with the "scent of eucalyptus, " "under skies pregnant with treetops/and the flapping wings of birds." Poems travel from a kibbutz in Israel, to Panama and Vermont, places ripe with pumpkins and yams and "the rattle of Mexican maracas."

In If the World Were a Quilt, Charles K. Carter walks the line between monk and magician. These meditative poems stop time, pull us from the limbo of memory and hold us from the uncertainty of the future. They turn both mirror and projector to the now inside and around us, in all its gentle and tumultuous beauty, in all its genuine revelation, in all its explosive power as if to shake us awake, to tear down our walls, to say someday 'the sun w...

Denise Sedman's poetry is both rich in original imagery and deeply felt in its emotions. Her poems give us a glimpse into the pain of living along with the darkness of truth. Her work is honest to the bone, and it's important for people to know what goes on behind the ruse of living. From her poems, readers come to understand that while life is not always paradise, it is not meaningless either because we all have a past that is never quite don...

These poems give an authentic sense of life lived with all senses alert to the mystery and richness that surround us. In The Yellow Sweater, Margot Wizansky, a poet and visual artist with an impeccable eye for detail, provides readers intimate glimpses into the landscapes of her life: childhood, long-loving marriage, her soul, its affinity to our tenuous underpinnings, and the landscape of one who came back from a near-death experiences with h...
