What Winter Means
Winner, Grassic Short Novel Prize 2016 What Winter Means, Deena Linett's third novel, brings five women of different ages, backgrounds, and ethnicities together who have won prestigious fellowships to a fictive library outside Boston. As these very different women move through time and experience, each brings her complex history to surprising events in the present. With her marvelously supple prose, and fluid, almost musical structure, Linett's richly layered descriptions of her characters give this short novel an impressive spaciousness. —K.C. Frederick, winner of the PEN/Winship Prize and five other novels A New York painter who was born in South Africa, a proper Protestant New Englander...
Rare Earths
In Rare Earths, poet and novelist Deena Linett has created an intriguing and suspenseful story in verse. Mairi MacIntyre, a young archaeologist, travels to the desolate North Sea Island of St. Kilda where--in journal excerpts and letters--she comes to terms with her own repressed longings and inner life, and her ties to the women who once inhabited the island. Deena Linett has published two prize-winning novels, On Common Ground and The Translator's Wife. Her poetry has been widely published in literary journals including The Missouri Review, in which ten poems from Rare Earths appeared in the 20th Anniversary Issue in May 1997. She lives in Montclair, New Jersey.
Woman Crossing a Field
Grass shaped by wind, stone grooved by rain - poems with the small, relentless power of nature.
Translucent when Fired
Poetry. "Deena Linett's high lyric sensibility shines its dark lantern upon inevitable losses. What I treasure is the way that her poems can turn with a panther-like, predatory quickness from the beautiful to the terrible, all within the bounds of her skillfully deployed iambic line. She makes us see, hear, smell, and take delight in the places she travels through. We should be, she implicitly suggests, uber-tourists in our own extraordinary lives and see the world around us as if for the first time."--Donald O. Platt
I Am on My Way to Healing
I Am on My Way to Healing: Two Strokes and a Recovery shares an authors journey along the path from two strokes toward healing and recovery and a renewed sense of hope. With resolve and determination, Robert P. Parker, a retired professor of English Education who had adapted to an array of vocations, tells how he faced a changed life in the wake of those strokes. After sketching his background, the author tells about his first stroke, what he felt and thought in the midst of the experience, and how his loved ones reacted to the news. Even amidst that life-changing event, he found, especially with the support of Jo, his wife, the courage to live in hope of healing. As he noted, One day I knew...
To Keep Love Blurry
To Keep Love Blurry is about the charged and troubled spaces between intimately connected people: husbands and wives, parents and children, writers and readers. These poems include sonnets, villanelles, and long poems, as well as two poetic prose pieces, tracing how a son becomes a husband and then a father. Robert Lowell is a constant figure throughout the book, which borrows its four-part structure from that poet's seminal Life Studies. Craig Morgan Teicher won the Colorado Prize for Poetry. He is poetry reviews editor for Publishers Weekly magazine and served as vice president on the board of the National Book Critics Circle.
The Book of Goodbyes
Winner of the Isabella Gardner Poetry Award The Book of Goodbyes speaks to a certain deranged love that throws into question sex, legality, gender-politics, disability, and the end of an affair. The book shifts between lyric and narrative, hyper-realism and magical realism, fact and fiction, and is organized like a play with Act I, Intermission, Act II, and Curtain Call.
Revising the Storm
This debut collection by Cave Canem fellow Geffrey Davis burrows under the surface of gender, addiction, recovery, clumsy love, bitterness, and faith. The tones explored—tender, comic, wry, tragic—interrogate male subjectivity and privilege, as they examine their "embarrassed desires" for familial connection, sexual love, compassion, and repair. Revising the Storm also speaks to the sons and daughters affected by the drug/crack epidemic of the '80s and addresses issues of masculinity and its importance in family. Some nights I hear my father's long romance with drugs echoed in the skeletal choir of crickets. Geffrey Davis teaches at Penn State University.
