Paperback. Condizione: Good. MOTHERLUNGE is an eloquent and irreverent debut novel about first sex, true love, chronic sibling rivalry; it's about the deepest fear of young (and not-so-young) adulthood: the fear of inheriting a disappointing life. It's motherly advice, too-featuring wigs, dogs, road trips, and medicine-a guide to the essential experiences of being female, "born unto a librarian, named for the goddess of sight," waiting for the future to arrive. With sly wit and surprising joy, MOTHERLUNGE considers the flaws in the family line and celebrates the promise that staggers alongside.…

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. These strong and vital poems are a tribute to water, the source of water and the expression of water in the forms of rivers, bloodstreams and pools of mystery. This extraordinary collection is poetry with teeth that both nibbles and bites hard. It is full of the things of this world scarcely notices even by most poets, and shared with a marvellous sense of grace and wit.…

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. This collection is named for a ?swale,? a shallow channel used to direct the flow of rainwater. Similarly, Swale looks outward to the natural world and directs its focus inward to the landscape of the mind. The past presses in like a thick mist: plundering colonial ships and the cracking edges of empire coincide with contemporary scenes and personal erosions and failures. Alongside humans are animals both living and extinct: manatees, sea turtles, and whales; roaming bears, horses, and lambs; and the flightless dodo and Steller?s sea cow, gone for centuries. What happens when the mind eclipses what the body sees, and neither can be trusted?when demarcations between land and water blur, and one?s sense of self begins to recede?Swale interrogates the violence of colonialism and its reverberations over time, as well as the extinction and the rapid decline of animal species. By turns tidal and cloistered, Swale speaks of science, reliquaries, and lapis lazuli, traversing forests, seascapes, and meadows. Here, the ocean becomes a field, a medieval tapestry transforms into a space that can be entered, and the body is fleshless, struck through with light. The speaker of these poems is ultimately unfixed?and with that comes both imaginative possibility and a personal unmooring. In poems that cast and recast the interior self in different guises?from the perpetually off-kilter Alice to the divergent voices of the shorn lamb and predatory foxhound?an unsettling anxiety grows starker, along with the wish for repair.…

Hardback. Condizione: Good. Pascal?s Wager and performing fleas. The Haunted Mansion of Long Branch and an old dockside bar. Raceway Park and a pristine 1971 Plymouth Road Runner. A cat named Altamont. These are all that stand between a young mathematician and madness as she attempts to make sense of her lover?s suicide. Narrow margins, you say? Not much to place between a slip of a broken-hearted Jersey Girl and the Abyss? Indeed, it is a treacherous twelve seconds on the quarter mile, hilarious and harrowing by turn. Blink and you?ll miss it.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. The poems in 2nd Chance are written in the voice of a doctor; the speaker often imagines he is talking to students, residents, patients, families?anyone who is ill or has witnessed illness and suffering. The poet, Daniel M. Becker, has been a physician for over thirty years, working in general medicine, geriatric clinics, and addiction clinics, supervising medical students and residents, and more. With poems such as ?Goals of Care,? ?Before Flu Season,? and ?Advance Directives,? 2nd Chance covers the full spectrum of medical care?birth, death, and all the surprising moments in between. Written with warmth and empathy for the human condition, these poems attempt to understand, share, and honor what both patients and medical professionals experience. Serious matters are approached with intelligence, humility, and humor, making this collection an affecting entry into the growing field of medical poetry.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. There is no other writer like Nicole Walker for weaving a fabric that incorporates all the threads of her reality: the scientific and the poetic, the trivial and the dire, the mundane and the apocalyptic, all held together by her deep pleasure in the operations of language itself. --Katharine Coles Like Galeano's BOK OF EMBRACES or Weil's GRAVITY AND GRACE, Nicole Walker's MICROGRAMS portray the force of a keen mind fully engaged with disparate, successive parts of the world, which unify, reconfigure, and become new things in her strange, wondrous prose. These essays are not description or depiction but revelation; they both show and prophesy. --Patrick Madden Though I'm tempted to applaud the micro-joys, micro-fascinations, and micro-revelations of Nicole Walker's MICROGRAMS, the truth is that this miniscule book of micro-essays offers inquisitive readers gargantuan pleasures. A micro-burst of essays, fresh and intriguing. --Dinty W. Moore MICROGRAMS by Nicole Walker is a cause for swooning and celebration. I cleaned my glasses and caught my breath. She is a microscope and a telescope, gives us a book writ large, writ small. 'Let's go smaller, ' she asks us, but never in import as, in her delightful deadpan, she leads us through life and death. Yes, it's a small world after all. And an extraordinary book about looking close, and thinking far. --David Lazar.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. Poetry. "Olivia Clare keeps what Emily Dickinson called 'Esoteric Time.' In the title poem, a dark berceuse, the hour is 'black bear o'clock,' a spell beyond tell-able time for which not even the 26 letters of the alphabet, evoked by the title, are a guaranteed talisman. 'Cryonics' admonishes a depressed friend, 'caught / in an hourglass neck / of cells not dividing,' to 'revive: / child the father / of the sand.' References to seconds, minutes, hourglasses, sands, clocks, gnomon, dials, and all manner of measuring, counting, and 'telling' time abound, as the speaker, with widdershins pluck, provocatively reverses, transgresses, and teases such limitations to fashion worlds that exempt themselves from any static or linear notion of past, present, future, or place. By attempting to word this ineffable, manifold 'within' time, Clare conjures a cosmological wunderkammer, '[k]indred, in a flickering place.'"—Lisa Russ Spaar. …

Paperback. Condizione: Good. Poems that acknowledge the existential anxieties of our age while continuing to celebrate the beauty and musicality of language.    In Would We Still Be, James Henry Knippen crafts the anxieties that emanate from human existence?grief, fear, hopelessness, uncertainty?into poetic reflections that express a deep reverence for the musicality and incantational capacity of language. Like a moon or a wren, two of the book?s obsessions, these haunting poems call us to consider beauty?s connection to the transitory. Among the ghosts that wander these pages?those of loved ones, those we are, and those we will become?Knippen asks if image is enough, if sound is enough, if faith is enough. In doing so, these poems seek out the soul?s communion with voice, encouraging us to sing our fate. …

Paperback. Condizione: Good. The poems in this powerful new collection explore the history of conflict and resilience?whether it occurs during the Nazi occupation of Poland, the Balkan wars in Bosnia and Croatia, or within the intimate tableaux of a family?s dissonance. Weaving poems into three distinct sections, Linda Nemec Foster pays close attention to not only what divides us, but also to what can heal and redeem our common journey: an artist?s notebook; the imagined life of Mary Magdalene; a fascination with Mount Fuji; a mother?s obsession with vintage movie stars; a dead father?s love. The Blue Divide resonates with the landscape of the world and the landscape of the heart.…

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. ?Whether her subject is mental illness, the oppression of one human being by another, or the constantly-cast shadow of our mortality, Marsha de la O?s resilient, unpretentious, sharply intelligent and unsentimental voice speaks to us of what we need to know.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Poetry. LGBT Studies. "If Frank O'Hara had lived to chronicle the post 9/11 decade, he might have written these wonderfully funny, sad, heartbreaking, jaunty, and always delightfully accurate poems by Peter Covino. THE RIGHT PLACE TO JUMP is unique in its immediacy, the tonal range of its love poems and elegies, its ability to draw the reader into the bittersweet daily round of the 'missed-numbed decade.' Who else would have begun a poem ('Broken Kingdom') with the advice, 'Always check expiration dates'? Here is a poet who so readily laughs at himself that we cannot help sharing in the fun—and the pain."—Marjorie Perloff. …
