Our Classical Heritage
Poetry. Caroline Noble Whitbeck holds a BA in Classics (Latin) from Harvard College and an MFA from Brown University. OUR CLASSICAL HERITAGE: A HOMING DEVICE is the winner of the 2006 Gatewood Prize from Switchback Books. According to judge Arielle Greenberg, "Our Classical Heritage is a pleasurable and witty work, pinned sharply but delicately to reality through images of cultural detritus and evocations of American childhood. The force of the voice here is redoubtable. The world as described may be a dizzying soup of existence, but Caroline Noble Whitbeck can always locate herself." OUR CLASSICAL HERITAGE: A HOMING DEVICE is Caroline Noble Whitbeck's first book.
Oneiromance
"Oneiromance (an epithalamion) gives the marriage poem a case of vertigo, displacing while embracing the panoply of possibility when two people attempt to forge a life together. Kathleen Rooney creates a dream-state with fluid borders and a surreal set of laws that allow her to question inherited wisdom and perception, all the while converging on the altar from numerous (occasionally, numinous) angles. The romance persists between the narrator and the beloved - and crucially, between the author and language's opportunities to address the nuances and edges of commitment deemed inexplicable. These poems contain deep doubt and true sentiment, providing that pleasure-giving union of provocation and renewal." --Book Jacket.
Pathogenesis
Poetry. Gay & Lesbian Studies. Put whippets in your heart and let the rabbits breed. They will. Like still-wet lagomorphs crawling over each other in innate proximity, Peggy Munson's poems confine the reader inside a lantern, buzzing at the headlights. Munson addresses illness, family, and the blood running through both with malleable tenacity. Noelle Kocot describes Munson's work as free from a lot of the burden of contemporary poetry conventions, [existing] like a small island in the fiery sun, alone, yet willing to be utterly beautiful, utterly strange and utterly itself. PATHOGENESIS was a finalist or semifinalist for numerous prizes, including the Dorset Prize, the Carnegie-Mellon Poetry Series, the Beatrice Hawley Award, the Verse Prize, and the University of Wisconsin Pollack Prize. Munson is the author of the novel, ORIGAMI STRIPTEASE, a finalist for the Lambda Literary Awards.
