Busing to Byzantium
Busing to Byzantium is a collection of poems and personal essays from Bruce Guernsey that give us a glimpse of "the soul's home movies." A former State of Illinois Board of Governors' "Professor of the Year," Bruce Guernsey is the recipient of Fulbright Senior Lectureships in American Poetry to Portugal and Greece, and has also twice sailed around the world. Guernsey has many prior publications to his credit, and he is Distinguished Professor Emeritus at Eastern Illinois University where he taught for twenty-five years. Diane Lockward, publisher of Terrapin Books, observes that Guernsey "handles words and people with skill and tenderness as he gives us the story of a career and a life. Within his capacious embrace, he offers us a world."
Mapping the Line
Here are twenty classroom-tested exercises that really work, written and used by some of America's best teachers and writers of poetry.

This collection is a good place to begin, and to continue.
From Rain: Poems, 1970 2010
In simple, spare language the poetry in this volume examines common objects like ice, glass, stones, moss, and similar inanimate things as if they were some kind of mystery.

Eat This Poem
A literary cookbook that celebrates food and poetry, two of life's essential ingredients. In the same way that salt seasons ingredients to bring out their flavors, poetry seasons our lives; when celebrated together, our everyday moments and meals are richer and more meaningful. The twenty-five inspiring poems in this book—from such poets as Marge Piercy, Louise Glück, Mark Strand, Mary Oliver, Billy Collins, Jane Hirshfield—are accompanied by seventy-five recipes that bring the richness of words to life in our kitchen, on our plate, and through our palate. Eat This Poem opens us up to fresh ways of accessing poetry and lends new meaning to the foods we cook.

Republic of Debtors
Debt was an inescapable fact of life in early America. At the beginning of the eighteenth century, its sinfulness was preached by ministers and the right to imprison debtors was unquestioned. By 1800, imprisonment for debt was under attack and insolvency was no longer seen as a moral failure, merely an economic setback. In Republic of Debtors, authorBruce H. Mann illuminates this crucial transformation in early American society.

The School at the Chalet
Inspired by a vacation to the Austrian Alps, Elinor M. Brent-Dyer wrote The School at the Chalet, launching a series that would span more than 60 books. The series follows the adventures of a boarding school set in the picturesque Swiss Alps. The series begins with The School at the Chalet (1925), where readers are introduced to Miss Madge Bettany, a young woman who decides to start a school for girls in the Swiss mountains. The series then chronicles the growth and evolution of the school, as well as the trials and triumphs of its students.
