The Button Box
After some 50 years of asking his paternal grandmother questions regarding their family history and recording her responses in notes, the early wire recorders, a Sony reel-to-reel recorder, and later cassettes, Fredrick Zydek has finally selected some of those conversations in this memoir of those sessions. The reader will quickly appreciate that his grandmother, Bertha Zydek, could be poignant, evasive, opinionated, funny and sometimes disapproving of the family history she related him. To her credit, his grandmother refused to answer some of his questions because she felt the answers were none of his business but neither was she intimidated by some of the scandal that rippled through the family over the years. Through the years she would even talk about some of the disappointments she experienced because of her children and an in-law or two she didn't really care for. But overall, The Button Box is a celebration of an American family so typical it will often remind you of your own clan.

The Conception Abbey Poems
Author's Statement: I have been making retreats and visiting Conception Abbey, a Benedictine monastery and seminary in Northwest Missouri, since 1956. It continues to be one of those places on the planet that energizes my spirit and clears my vision. I must extend thanks and gratitude to the good monks of the Abbey whose hospitality has always participated in my urges to return to the place. These poems are spun from those experiences. I am grateful to Winthrop Press for permitting me to revisit and expand this group of poems with others spun from the Abbey's influence since the publication of the second edition.

Keep the Killer Asleep
In this angry yet melancholy homage to AIDS' soldiers, Steven Blaski builds a bridge between the rarefied and the mundane, conjuring a world in language that is spare, provocative and elegant. With sorrow, anger, passion and wit, Blaski pays tribute to those who have fallen and those who continue to fight oppression, all the while exploring the details which inform the poet's own experiences. Keep the Killer Asleep is an invocation against what would destroy us, a defiant yet affirming work from an incredibly gifted, emerging talent. A remarkable and haunting first volume of poems. It is for gay men of his generation an odyssey almost archetypal in its familiarity, echoing at every turn the alienation of adolescence ... and all the bitter travail of coming to awareness in a society utterly hostile to gay consciousness. —Lambda Book Report Blaski may be the best poetic witness to the gay human experience writing today. —The James White Review Consider being taken gently by the arm and then shaken during a tour of our iconic culture. —Michael Klein, Poets For Life
