Robert Nordstrom's splendid new poetry collection, Dust on the Sill, is the perfect book to read on a "wind shorn / gin & tonic afternoon, " when one is ready to contemplate life and its "color, like breath, on loan." In poems often wistful, always generous, Nordstrom coaxes profound meaning from spare and elegant lines as he grapples with big questions by engaging what seems small-bread and soup shared by a long-married couple, children board...

Patrick T. Reardon is a tough Chicago newsman who writes award-winning poetry, a poet who hears music in the all-night thunder of a Chicago El, a historian of Chicago who archives its circulatory system of alleys, streets and neighborhoods, a spiritual seeker so open-minded that he still goes to church. That is why his new book of poems The Salt of the Earth is so damn tough, so rooted in the gritty heart of the city, and so profoundly spiritu...

Seringo is an inventive sonnet series that builds completely original compositions around particularly rich quotes from Thoreau's writing in much the same spirit that ekphrastic poets let paintings inspire totally individual narratives. This ambitious system would be disastrous if attempted by a less imaginative or informed mind, but every one of these poems delights with old country idioms, anecdotes and aphorisms numinous with an observant n...

The Cosmos is Alive is a time-bending journey where the "cosmos is alive, " a many-armed serpent of possibility and imagination. From The Lunar Kingdom to The Planet X Soap Opera, you might find The Milky Way in L.A. or make a pit-stop at The Moon Country Museum and Bar. We are gifted a "cosmic sight, " a view of the Moon, a fresh perspective of Earth in its "pocket of light" as Outer Space "slavishly / pipes the unity of gravity into our univ...

For the Future of Girls is at once family album, inventory of memories, a reckoning with time, and a plea for love to last. Lisa Grunberger's vibrant and meticulously detailed poems lay bare Jewish histories where trauma, loss, and misogyny take both intimate and collective shape. These poems refuse to forget, and their refusal offers a light for our daughters.-Maya Pindyck, American poet and visual artist, Director of writing and a professor ...

With vivid imagery and startling intimacy, Alinda Wasner's poems delve into the many experiences of love, not neglecting the edge of sorrow inescapable in our lives. And I love the line: "I feel an angel in my heart...."-John Gallagher, journalist, The Detroit Free Press, author of Yamasaki in Detroit: A Search for Serenity and The Englishman and Detroit: A British Entrepreneur Helps Restore a City's ConfidenceThe poems in Alinda Wasner's newe...

In Belonging, Wendy Hoffman focuses on a familiar American dialogue-the relationship between the Old Country and the New Country. The dialogue, fraught with silence and shame, occurs over the course of three generations. Much of the dialogue is physical and literally the food the generations consume. In her baking and cooking the grandmother embodies much Old Country Lore. Some of that wisdom is passed on, and, inevitably, much is lost-the tra...

With Metes and Bounds, her sixth collection in seven years, Jane Blanchard extends her admirable consistency. Whether in sonnets, quatrains, or couplets, epigrams, sestinas, or terza rima, she artfully manages meter and rhyme while ingeniously keeping her lines conversational. Her subjects are diverse-religion, marriage, art, people-watching on a cruise-and her portrayal of illness is especially poignant. Metes and Bounds gives resounding proo...

Weeping in the Promised Land is, on one hand, a meditation on our troubled, fractured nation at this deeply contentious, historic inflection point, and, on the other, a deeply personal evocation of her troubled personal relationships. This wide-ranging collection progresses beyond politics and a seemingly perpetual chaos, to a more settled, satisfying existence. Ekphrastic poems celebrate nature, laying the groundwork for a place of contentmen...

Karen Petersen is an elemental poet. She has the ability to lose herself in her subject matter with disarming honesty, unveiling an in-dwelling, naked luminescence in which form and meaning coalesce. With blade-sharp freshness, Trembling does what poetry should do.-Annie Finch, author of Spells: New and Selected Poems
