In Pola, that journey is a vividly personal exploration into the sacred unity of Art, Mind and Nature. Pola is the chronicle of a Gone Woman, gone into a nether-land of mystery and discovery. Her wounds of schizophrenic-suicidal madness are met with the voices of her equally wounded lover, a soldier-boy sh...

Lee Rossi's third book of poems sketches a life in shades of contradiction, futility and want. Interrogating the self as ruthlessly as the Grand Inquisitor, these poems enact rituals of disillusionment. The self, final refuge of beatniks and idealists, is discovered to be the quagmire the bodhisattvas warned us about. Rossi advises us to abandon hope - then welcome it when, yet again, life disappoints every expectation, even the most dire. ...

Time blurs as we meet past and present lovers, a...

Reading David Radavich's poems transported me to the Orient, to its "dry and teeming sands" and feasts of "dates and skewered meats." He dedicates Middle-East Mezze to "those who suffered and who dream" and does not shy away from the woe of the region. He captures the dignity and suffering of the Palestinian and Iraqi peoples. . . . Radavich's poems drew me in with their easy-going, conversational tone. In this collection, every poem is alive ...

As the years pass, she ...

Praise for Barbara de la Cuesta's previous novel, The Spanish Teacher, winner of the Gival Press Novel Prize... "The Spanish Teacher has everything to thrill you-pace, a great balance of description, gesture and action, charmed, perfectly tuned dialogue, and most notably, a character we follow as closely and sympathetically as if we were living right there inside the story with him…rarely do we see a full drama like this, where every bit of th...
