Action
ACTION - as in begin, genesis, motion - is a collection of poems ultimately concerned with form, those lines drawn in the sand that give way to the profanity of the holy, the holiness of the profane. Throughout ACTION, Opal engages the constraints inherent to seemingly fixed forms. From living with rheumatoid arthritis, to feeling for the edges of a sonnet tradition, to wrestling with the tenets of historical theology, this collection demonstrates that the only way to honestly submit to a form is to rage against it. However, to assume that this rage is not a kind of explosive joy-a Barthesian jouissance-would be to miss the point of poems that Dean Young has described as "radiant affirmations of life and art."

Poems of Yosa Buson
Yosa Buson (1716-1784) is the second of the three haiku masters, with Basho before (1644-1694) and Issa after (1763-1827). Widely known during his lifetime - more for his paintings than his poems - Buson's notoriety and influence declined after his death only to be reestablished by Masaoka Shiki (1867-1902), who immersed himself in Buson's writing, seeing Buson's work as a precursor to his own. Shiki, typically considered the first modernist haiku writer, saw Buson as perhaps the greatest of the former masters, writing that Basho has the "reputation as the incomparable haiku poet," but Buson is "equal to, or even superior to Basho." Since the writing of Shiki's Haiku Poet Buson in 1896, Buson's status as one of the three haiku masters has been solidified. However, aspects of his work remain underappreciated or overlooked. Specifically highlighted in this collection is Buson's warmth.
Your Feet Take You to Where Your Heart Is
Lightning Ridge, Australia, the world’s opal capital, has miners from over fifty countries, who brought with them their political and religious beliefs, traditions, and memories. Gradually they created a unique society with a new culture, character, morals, and ideals. You never know who is who in Lightning Ridge, says Bill, an old opal miner. Aborigines and Europeans, doctors and illiterates, policemen and criminals, all camp next to each other, looking for the same rainbow in the clay beneath the sandstone. Prospectors come to Lightning Ridge in search of the elusive rainbow gem that will make them instantly rich and respected. The hope to find a red-on-black opal is the dream these opal...
Poems of Masaoka Shiki
Masaoka Shiki (1867-1902) is often listed as the last of the great haiku masters - following Basho, Buson, and Issa. However, Shiki remains unique in his distinctly modernist approach, taking influence from Western writers and artists, reflecting changes within his own society. In his Outline of Haikai, published in 1895, Shiki stresses "copying things as they are," foreshadowing Imagism's "direct treatment of the thing." In the same text, Shiki writes about the importance of "combining reverie (k?s?) and realism (shajitsu)," allowing for a kind of reflective minimalism - sketches, both exterior and interior."I go / you stay / two autumns"In recent years, Shiki's work has found a number of c...

Orc's Opal
A GIRL, A BOY--AND THE DRAGON The prophecy of Mouvar is running its course in the many frames of reality inhabited by Kelvin Knight Hackleberry and his family. The great Confederation of kingdoms under the rule of the twins Kildom and Kildee is a triumph for good. But Kelvin's enemies are not all dead. The evil witch Zady seeks vengeance for the deaths of Zoanna and Rufurt in another frame, and she has vowed Kelvin will pay with the lives of his children, Merlain and Charles. Zady's wicked plan is to lure the precocious, telepathic six-year-olds on a quest of their own that will draw the Confederation into a war it cannot win, and bring death and ruin on all Kelvin holds dear. Merlain and Charles are not twins, however, but two of the set of triplets--the third is Horus, a dragon, and their only hope.
