My Brother Is
Getting Arrested Again
Daisy Fried
“Fried’s vivacious sophomore effort is a breath of pure oxygen for the
serious, politically engaged, unpretentious free-verse storytelling so popular in American poetry a generation ago and in eclipse since. Winningly personal,
the poems are nevertheless artful, with a light touch to balance their heavy subjects of social and racial injustice.” - Publishers Weekly
Flowers in the Shadow of the Storm
Christopher Cunningham
“Cunningham speaks with grace and clarity. He uses simple moments in time to convey the larger lesson of life. His work is so much more then simply words on a page, he carefully creates an entire package." - Jason Behrends
Multitudes: Poems Selected and New
Afaa M. Weaver
“Multitudes announces Weaver's Brooks-like transformation from curator of a vital "museum" to composer of revitalizing "music": the sound of a tradition renewing itself." -African-American Review
Natural History
Dan Chiasson
“Combining a classic, often heartbreaking musical line with a playful, fresh attack on the standard materials of poetry, he makes even our sadness beguiling and beautiful.” -Borzoi Reader
Drunk and Disorderly: Selected Poems 1978-2000
Alan Catlin
“With this generous selection of poetry, crowning more than twenty
years, we are offered an insight into Alan Catlin’s great talent and too, the
chance to marvel at its undiminished strength. He is a poet to be trusted,
writing from the heart and with honesty few poets today would chance." -Simon Perchik
Green Squall
Jay Hopler
“These poems are truly stunning." -Publishers Weekly
