The New North
This is a unique and significant poetry anthology combining major poets from Northern Ireland and introducing, alongside them, younger poets all of whom have built rapid and substantial reputations since the Belfast Agreement.
Next to Nothing
Next to Nothing records the years following the death of a beloved child in 2001. Though bereft of belief in the poetic outcome compared to the apocalypse of the loss itself (one sense of the title), the fidelity of these poems to the “heartscapes” of grief constitutes, nonetheless, a work of genuine honouring – spare, delicate, and deeply moving.Of the collection in general, Agee has written: “In addition to individual poems and several sequences, Next to Nothing includes a section entitled ‘Heartscapes’, which consists of 59 ‘micro-poems’, as I call them. Many of these are extremely short; most were written during the very bleak and soul-sick year of 2003; and the whole sec...

New North
The New North anthology of Northern Irish poetry answers two major questions: how did the two great generations--with their huge international influence, exemplified by Seamus Heaney and Paul Muldoon--emerge from such a small place? And what is the future direction of Irish poetry in Northern Ireland? Young Northern Irish poets have reasons for continuing to make political claims in their work, but even for them other subjects are beginning to become equally pressing. These are transitional times, and poets will be there to record the changes, feeling troubled, perhaps even strangely nostalgic for the days when poetry was so politically charged and morally challenged, but with anticipation f...
Scar on the Stone
Scar on the Stone is the first anthology of Bosnian poetry in English to have appeared since the outbreak of war and genocide following the independence of Bosnia-Herzegovina in 1992. It brings together fourteen of the country's most distinguished poets, chosen on the basis of artistic merit alone, but drawn from all creeds - Muslim, Orthodox, Catholic - and none, and from all three jurisdictions of the new federation.The book begins with one of the greatest modern poets of the Balkans, Mak Dizdar (1917-1971), and ends with a selection of younger poets whose work emerged powerfully during the siege of Sarajevo. The result is a Janus-faced volume of rare breadth: one which evokes both the hi...

First Light
Chris Agee's long-awaited second collection of poems is transnational in scope and theme, moving among his native New England, Ireland, the Balkans, England, Russia, and Mexico. Many deal with historical violence or change; the counter-historical nature of the imaginative order; or the natural abundance of Mediterranean and North American wilderness. As the collection progresses the contrast between the natural superabundance of childhood origins and the granularity of historical time sharpens. Born in Massachusetts.
The Streets of San Francisco
During the Sixties the nation turned its eyes to San Francisco as the city's police force clashed with movements for free speech, civil rights, and sexual liberation. These conflicts on the street forced Americans to reconsider the role of the police officer in a democracy. In The Streets of San Francisco Christopher Lowen Agee explores the surprising and influential ways in which San Francisco liberals answered that question, ultimately turning to the police as partners, and reshaping understandings of crime, policing, and democracy. The Streets of San Francisco uncovers the seldom reported, street-level interactions between police officers and San Francisco residents and finds that police ...
