Dancing, with Mirrors
More than twenty years in the making, Dancing, With Mirrors is the result of George Amabile’s patient examination of his life. The light of careful attention, shining into his past, sends fragments of memory ricocheting into sensuous poems that arrange themselves, as if by magnetic attraction, into eleven remarkable cantos, each with a different focus, rhythm and texture. In this ‘lyrical retrospective’, decades are distilled into scattered moments: flashes of pain, sparks of affection, the smart of disappointment, small graces of the everyday. Organized thematically into a roughly chronological narrative, these lyrical fragments make up George Amabile’s most intelligent and moving c...
Martial Music
Martial Music, George Amabile's eleventh book and newest collection of poetry, explores the relationships between civilization, technology, empire and human violence, theatres of war, the collateral damage of military occupation, the machinations of power politics, oil spills, destruction of the environment, ptsd, and other characteristics of what we call ?world events.' These are tough poems for tough times'our times'when the human cost of military conflict, environmental disaster and gun violence have become the daily staple of news headlines. Provocative, unflinching and at times raw with the poet's fury at unfathomable acts, Amabile's poems converge as an urgent libretto against the militaristic tendencies that surround us, inciting a march toward the creation of a more peaceful and sincere world.
Rumours of Paradise/Rumours of War
From award-winning Canadian author George Amabile comes a collection of poems celebrating life and mourning death – and the loss of innocence that it brings. Originally published in 1995, Rumours is at once romantic and cerebral, immediate yet expansive, teeming with rich imagery.
Tasting the Dark
Since his first collection of poems appeared in 1972, George Amabile has quietly become one of our country's most accomplished poets. Tasting the Dark presents a choice selection of his best work over the years and a substantial collection of his new poems. These are poems that open up and reach out, hungry to taste their fill of light as well as darkness, to taste grief and joy and rage and beauty'and to speak of it all with eloquent and sensuous precision. Selected poems include Amabile's deeply moving and now famous elegy "Accidental Death," the shocking childhood memoir "First Kill," the complete suite of his lyrical "Anima" poems, and numerous other works. By turns funny, profound, and heartbreaking, this collection is hot with passion for life. The new poems collected here show Amabile at the height of his powers. Amabile observes his world with a combination of fierce wit and powerful tenderness, all shot through with magical imagery'the glass antlers of iced branches in winter, a child dancing to the music of a waterfall, a flock of red balloons cut loose by a machete.

Operation Stealth Seed
"NYPD Detective Nicola Cortese, veteran of three tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, is demoted and transferred to a desk job in Operations after his PTSD spirals out of control following a drug bust gone bad. When he returns to active duty, his first case, a B&E homicide, leads him to uncover an international conspiracy that is using a genetically engineered seed to take control of the world's wheat. "--
Constantine P. Cavafy
SECOND EDITIONTranslations, like everything else, wear out over time, as language, and those who read or use it, change. With a poet like Cavafy, who was so precisely tuned to the idiom of his peers, it is even more important to update the English versions of his poems frequently, so that they have the same immediate resonance with the times as the originals had with their time. This is, of course, an impossible task. There is no single word, much less any phrase, that has exactly the same weight and hierarchy of primary and secondary meanings in another language. Add to that the differences in sound patterns and rhythmic signatures or emphases, and it becomes clear that the best one can do ...
