Poetry. LETTERS TO EARLY STREET is a fanciful epistolary experiment, a turning of the traditional letter onto its poetic ear. Originally begun as letters to a colleague, the writing soon transformed into imaginative discourse with the vagaries of a muse, addressing emotions, elements of landscape, and the act of writing itself. LETTERS TO EARLY STREET reconstructs correspondence as an exchange of ineffable narrative filled with the pleasures o...

Poetry. Bruce Holsapple's WAYWARD SHADOW pulls the reader into a brilliant mind-flow that twists like the grain of split juniper and reads like a palm held open: life-line, fate, future, and the line of unseemly events that gives us our identity. Mind, heart, and a sharp eye mark every page.

We stand on the turtle's back and ask for the wind. We fly through the turtle's mind and drink the sky. We walk through the turtle's home and know we are alive with others who are alive. Something like water, something like blood flows through all of us as the sun lifts up its great eye each morning. We do not move through this world alone. Penny Harter's poems mingle patient alertness with animal choirs, reading prophecy in shells, bones, fal...

Along the way are encounters with the Princess of Thailand, The Pink Man, Shilendra K. Singh in Kathmandu, Tibetan monks in China cheating at...

His slightly estranged journey follows neighborhood streets to downtown hotels and interstates toward a zen that is not Zen, but found by singing in a lawnchair in a backyard in Las Cruces, New Mexico. Scenes and events of daily life are recorded from a still center amid the flux of our "vida loca." With a language precise ...
