After the tragic suicide of our youngest child, David, at the age of thirty-four, I was navigating in a strange new world. I have always written and for years kept a journal. About a year after his death, I began to write a poem each morning. I imposed my own guidelines: write about whatever pops into my mind, it must fit onto one page of my journal, and no editing. I have used the title of the book to classify the poems into categories, as the boat...

This selection of poems by a new author was triggered by the tragic death of his 28-year-old daughter. So the collection begins with loss and the aftermath of loss: the hope of the author that his daughter and he may be reunited in the life to come. This hope underlies many of the poems. This is clearly articulated in 'Osler and Son', where a father grieves for loss of his son in World War I but in a stoical, unexpressed manner.

An anthem against apathy -Amelia Martens, author of The Spoons in the Grass Are There to Dig a Moat. Read Tracy Mishkin's poems as an antidote to the "meat wheel full of teeth" that is the contemporary news cycle. Not because this dangerously clever collection soothes, or because it provides comfort, but because these lyrics are urgent without shallow or callous bids for the reader's attention, and instead render the heartbreak of America as gorgeously...

The poems in For Your Safety Please Hold On move in thematic focus from family, to girlhood, to adulthood, each permeated by Czaga's lively voice and quick-witted, playful language. They test the line between honest humour and bitter reality in a sophisticated, incisive manner that tugs at the gut and feels true. The linguistic hopscotch of Czaga's poems about girlhood is often beautifully juxtaposed with feelings of menace or a first taste of smothering...

Donde los puentes se alzan es una mirada poética. Alegorías que se confunden con la propia metáfora de la vida, para ser un solo paso caminante mimetizado en el paisaje. Donde la montaña, el río, el árbol o el puente, tienen voz propia a través del eco viajero. Poemas que hablan de sentimientos vivos que van de lugar en lugar; de corazón en corazón, con su gesto emblemático. Como si todas las cosas estuvieran relacionadas y formasen un "todo"....

Twenty years ago Nevin Sample walked into a small bank in Deep Cove, robbed a teller at gunpoint and fled into the forest of Cates Park. After a lengthy pursuit, he hid behind a stump at the edge of a small clearing. The police called to him. He raised the gun to his head and pulled the trigger. Nevin had a magnetism, an understated complexity: there were those who loved him, resented him, found him gregarious. To Joe Denham, he was an old, close...

The world displayed in the poems of Thomas Lux is a fairly dangerous place, a half promised land, a region where turtles languish of thirst, where a lifebuoy crawls with spiders, where a moving car hits a moving moose and both survive, where what tends to terrify us tends also to make us feel safe, where "rattlesnakes feel at home," where "your belief in justice/merges with your belief in dreams."

The passion of this book is immense because it shows you how to release the sufferings of Jesus Christ and your own swiftly. At your willingness to take a quantum leap to release Him from the crown of thorns is the most rapid way to see through the fog of darkness and into the clarity of lightness where you will see the world from which you are from. And you will look behind you and see the mirage of the world from which you instinctively know you...

This volume is structurally similar to the 150 ancient songs of the Bible attributed to King David. However, the content is, based on modern thought in the continuing quest for spiritual enlightenment. The songs turn away from revenge and fear giving today's reader a contemporary approach to sustaining their faith. Each stanza was, written as a prayer, or a plea to God, not just for mercy for us, but for strength to be merciful to others. Just as...

The inhabitants of Frank Jamison's Songs of Unsung People are the people we meet every day on the streets and in the diners, some physically strong and some who get about with the help of walkers. From a preacher on a street corner to a woman on a ferry bound for Sausalito, some engaged in the everyday minutiae of life, as store clerks and waitresses or, more outlandishly, a man showing off cats for a crowd gathered to watch a Key West sunset, all...
