Good News
A reissuing of Good News, poetry by Greg Kuzma.
Mountains of the Moon
Greg Kuzma's Mountains of the Moon is the second selection from his longer poems. The first, All That is Not Given is Lost, was published in 2007 by Backwaters Press. A third volume is in preparation. Kuzma's gift is his ability to slip deeply into the territories of human soul, where he teaches us to endure against loss, to ascend from despair, and to celebrate how beautiful imperfect lives may be.
Hose and Iron
Greg Kuzma has been a central figure in American poetry since the late 1970s. More than 1500 of his poems have appeared in such journals as The New Yorker, The Atlantic, Poetry, The Hudson Review, Georgia Review, Ohio Review, Prairie Schooner, and many others. He is the author of more than twenty volumes of poetry, and he has long been a prolific critic of contemporary American poetry with reviews appearing in some of the country's most important journals. This new volume, Selected Poems, focuses on the best of his shorter poems--Kuzma is also a master of writing the "long" poem. These selections are culled from a number of his books, including Good News, What Friends are For, The Buffalo Shoot, A Day in the World, Adirondacks, Wind Rain and Stars and the Grass Growing, all of them out of print. Additionally, some of the selections are taken from hard-to-find, limited edition fine-press titles; their appearance in Selected Poems marks the first time they have been available to a larger readership.
A Great Plains Reader
The Great Plains are as rich and integral a part of American literature as they are of the North American landscape. In this volume the stories, poems, and essays that have described, celebrated, and defined the region evoke the world of the American prairie from the first recorded days of Native history to the realities of life on a present-day reservation, from the arrival of European explorers to the experience of early settlers, from the splendor of the vast and rolling grasslands to the devastation of the Dust Bowl. Several essays look to the future and explore changes that would embolden the people of the Plains to continue to call home this place they have learned to value in spite of...
Letter from a Place I've Never Been
Hilda Raz has an ability "to tell something every day and make it tough," says John Kinsella in his introduction. Letter from a Place I've Never Been shows readers the evolution of a powerful poet who is also one of the foremost literary editors in the country. Bringing together all seven of her poetry collections, a long out-of-print early chapbook, and her newest work, this collection delights readers with its empathetic and incisive look at the inner and outer lives we lead and the complexities that come with being human. Showcasing the work of a great American voice, Letter from a Place I've Never Been at last allows us to see the full scope and range of Raz's work.
Selected Early Poems 1958-1983
Greg Kuzma's recent poems are long, narrative, pyschological and metaphoric, and have been appearing in magazines and collections for the past two decades. This selection includes the best of the lyric poems which characterized the beginning of his career in poetry.
The Poetry of Raymond Carver
Best known as one of the great short story writers of the twentieth century, Raymond Carver also published several volumes of poetry and considered himself as much a poet as a fiction writer. Sandra Lee Kleppe combines comparative analysis with an in-depth examination of Carver’s poems, making a case for the quality of Carver’s poetic output and showing the central role Carver’s pursuit of poetry played in his career as a writer. Carver constructed his own organic literary system of 'autopoetics,' a concept connected to a paradigm shift in our understanding of the inter-relatedness of biological and cultural systems. This idea is seen as informing Carver’s entire production, and a di...
Contemporary Poetry
Here in one volume is some of the most exciting poetry written during the last thirty years, culled from the pages of one of America's foremost literary magazines. The Quarterly Review of Literature has been among the first to present many significant poets of our time. In addition to publishing the work of new poets, it has made available little-known work of writers of established reputation. It has brought to the reading public both experimental and traditional verse, and foreign poetry in distinguished translations as well as poetry originally written in English. Its pages have been open, in the words of its editors, "to any work that reflects a dedication to ultimately painstaking art."...
