New Messiahs
“All is in this book: our lives from hour to hour, the memories that define us, love, redemption...But in the end the question still remains: “Who will come to bury / he who comes to bury me?” Powerful, crystal clear, intimate and world-building, this book is testimony and proof that the miracle of our lives will continue. New Messiahs is the right title.” —Tomaz Salamun, winner of the Slovenian National Book Award “In Henry Israeli’s debut book, we are still on the infamous train of the twentieth century, there’s no getting off, and we’re all responsible and helpless. Thankfully, however, these poems are noble memories of transformations, they allow that we are made of “little bones that contemplation holds together.” How the spirit carries the wounded body around in here! You can feel the real wind rage, feel yourself tested.” —Jane Miller, winner of a Lila Wallace Reader's Digest Award and a Guggenheim Fellowship

One for Sorrow, Two for Joy
For two quietly unhappy years, linguist Claire Gallagher has been living deep in the New Hampshire woods, enduring a polite but strained marriage to a highly respected scientist. Once a determined overachiever and academic star in her own right, she now spends her days avoiding her stalled dissertation and creating EZ crossword puzzles. But for all Claire's knowledge of words and their meanings, the meaning in her own life eludes her. One bleak morning in winter, she announces that she's leaving. By nightfall, at the urging of her younger sister Noelle, Claire finds herself heading to the last place she thought she would ever go: Ireland -- the birthplace of her abrasive, chronically ill mother and the country Noelle, a college dropout, now calls home. In a small town on the Irish coast, Claire's struggle to move ahead with her life takes her deep into the puzzles of her past -- in a world in which there are no simple answers, and the only questions that matter are those of the heart.

In that time, three presidents have tried and failed. Martin Indyk—a for...
Arms Transfers to Israel
Divided into two parts, this book talks about two common myths about the American-Israeli patron-client relationship - that arms transfers to Israel have been motivated by American domestic politics rather than national interests and that these arms transfers have come without any political strings attached to them.
