I recommend this book to you. It is a book of poetry whose authorship is plural, but I hesitate to call it an anthology because of certain conventions which the mention of the term causes the reader to expect. This is a book whose mythic spectrum is broad. I took on the project as editor because the body of work presented to me by the publisher and the five poets was various, superb, and challenging. See what you think." - J. Michael Yates

An ancient voice, mournful like the wind, speaks to itself yet means to be overheard in A.F. Moritz's amazing poem, Phantoms in the Ark. We seem to hear shattered echoes from the Bible, Dante, Petrarch or Scève bound up in Maldoror's cruel eloquence, here perfectly attuned to Ludwig Zeller's wry, Dada-inspired illustrations." - John AshberyThe poem appears in its original English, side by side with the Spanish translation of Susana Wald.

In the most personal writing he has ever undertaken, veteran novelist Keith Maillard turns to poetry to evoke the madness of America in the time of the Gulf War.
