Spell
Poetry. Dan Beachy-Quick confirms the promise of his first book and greatly extends the range and scope of his writing with this brilliant fantasia on a theme by Herman Melville. This multi-layered poetic work engages with Melville's text as well as with myth and with the ideas of spiritual quest, the role of the writer, and the nature of language. Rewarding multiple readings and affording continual discoveries, SPELL is a major work for the new century by an assured and gifted poet. "Intelligent, compassionate, exquisite, Beachy-Quick's is a unique voice in contemporary poetry" Cole Swensen."
Oriflamme
Poetry. The expansiveness of the poems in Sandra Miller's extraordinary first book requires a different page: one in which white space frames and shapes the physicality of each poem, title, and word. Among Miller's influences are the Russian avant-garde artists of the turn of the twentieth century; her poems are as sculptural as the page permits, in "packets" rather than stanzas that move visually as well as narratively through the work. Passionate, these are poems that are battle standards in the defense of art, poetry, and the intelligence of the ear. "Delicate and sure, spare and very, very precise," is how Cole Swensen describes them. "They haunt. They break your heart. They make you want to live. ORIFLAMME marks a new direction in American poetry. No one else is doing anything like it, yet."
Saving the Appearances
Poetry. SAVING THE APPEARANCES recounts a quest for wholeness, the Truth thatabides in and reveals the heart. Seeking to discover "the true form ofthe edifice of the world," a building both containing and accounting for--saving--the appearances encountered on the way, these poems evince the mystery of the act of seeing, beauty of the natural world, an power of the longing that engenders its contemplation. "Rarely does one findsuch vulnerability and sadness so luxuriantly, inventively dressed out,so playful, so cured"--John Reider, TINFISH.
