What Diamonds Can Do
"We live dangerously," Claire Keyes writes in her incisive collection WHAT DIAMONDS CAN DO. And we find out what they can do: gleam; focus sharply; cut. These poems are diamond-like in their gloss, density, and richness, evoking life's dangers and joys without fear.
The Question of Rapture
Poetry. Imagistic language and unique imagination shape this stunning book. These musical, detailed poems capture the intricacies of Keyes' worlds: her family, childhood, Boston, Key West and even Greece. "'If the mind insists on imagining its origins, then it comes/to this wintry beach...' Claire Keyes writes, and then richly imagines other worlds, this poet of woods and street, ravens and childhood, Boston and Key West and Greece, graveyards and myth, love and pain, cricket and eagle and thrush. The insight and range of these poems inspire and darken and almost soothe. That almost means a beauty that burns"--Marianne Boruch.
The Aesthetics of Power
When still a senior at Radcliffe, Adrienne Rich was selected as a Yale Younger Poet. The judge, W.H. Auden, wrote the introduction to her first book of poems. Thus Rich's career was launched by one of the most distinguished poets of the twentieth century, someone Rich herself admired and emulated.

In her development as artist, woman, and activist, however, Rich emerged as a leading voice of modern feminism--a voice which rejects a male-dominated world, forcing new definitions of power, new possibilities for women, and profound repercussions for society.

Sweet Talk
Is there anything sweeter than first love? Don't ask Claire Keyes. The twenty-eight-year-old piano prodigy has never had a regular boyfriend, much less a real romance. Her music career has left little room for friends or family--which is just part of the reason she hasn't seen the family bakery or her two sisters in years. But now Nicole is sick, and Jesse is AWOL. Despite the fact that Claire can't boil water, she's determined to play caretaker. Connecting with her sisters tops her to-do list...along with falling in love, or at least in lust, for the first time. Ruggedly sexy Wyatt just might fit the bill. Although he keeps saying that he and Claire come from entirely different worlds, he lights up hotter than a bakery oven whenever Claire is near. If this keeps up, she just might sweet--talk him into her bed...and her life.

Viable Utopian Ideas
Utopias - whether philosophical, literary, or actual experiments - are attempts to solve all social problems. In the wake of the attack on the World Trade Center, unfolding corporate scandals, and other devastating shocks, it is natural to search for practical lessons in utopian literature. In this collection noted sociologists renew the call to develop an altruistic social order. They address a wide variety of topics as they look for viable utopian ideas that can be applied to today's society. Written in an engaging, jargon-free style, and directed to introductory sociology students as well as anyone concerned with social problems, the book provides both visionary ideals and insights for pragmatic decision-making as we venture into an uncertain future.
