The Collected Poems of Cathy Smith Bowers
Former North Carolina Poet Laureate Cathy Smith Bowers is celebrated with this impressive volume of her collected poems. Four complete collections: The Love That Ended Yesterday in Texas; Traveling in Time of Danger; A Book of Minutes; The Candle I Hold Up to See You, with an introduction by another former North Carolina Poet Laureate, Fred Chappell, who says, "Hardship, cruelty, heartbreak, bleak sorrow-these sad themes are plentiful in the pages of Cathy Smith Bowers. But in its smoldering heart, her poetry holds, like the pinata in 'The Party, ' a 'sweet, dark center.'"
The Abiding Image
Part handbook, part memoir, part stand-up comedy routine, The Abiding Image by Cathy Smith Bowers will provide inspiration and guidance for any writer, reader, and teacher of poetry.
Like Shining from Shook Foil
Like Shining From Shook Foil: Selected Poems by Cathy Smith Bowers, award-winning Poet Laureate of North Carolina, brings together selections from four collections of poetry and 19 previously uncollected poems. The title of Ms. Smith Bowers' new collection epitomizes her way of writing from an abiding image and her ability to shine a light upon moments of intensity, joyous or painful. This light is the flaming out of an energy, a source of power greater than herself. Through 30 years of publishing poetry, Smith Bowers has tapped into that energy source, and Like Shining From Shook Foil is charged with the grandeur of her abiding images.
Beasts of Eden
In this new collection, Beadle lures us into a realm of fact and fantasy, of history and myth, where we are all-at once-both "native and stranger, neighbor and trespasser" . . . . nothing escapes the fresh wit and seasoned wisdom of this big-hearted poet.

The Love that Ended Yesterday in Texas
"[Smith Bowers] has forsworn rhinestone and sequins, but her lines are the more comely for her modesty--and more moving, too."The Georgia Review
Girl Meets Boy
From the astonishingly talented writer of The Accidental and Hotel World comes Ali Smiths brilliant retelling of Ovids gender-bending myth of Iphis and Ianthe, as seen through the eyes of two Scottish sisters. Girl Meets Boy is about girls and boys, girls and girls, love and transformation, and the absurdity of consumerism, as well as a story of reversals and revelations that is as sharply witty as it is lyrical. Funny, fresh, poetic, and political, Girl Meets Boy is a myth of metamorphosis for a world made in Madison Avenues image, and the funniest addition to the Myths series from Canongate since Margaret Atwoods The Penelopiad.
