The Pugilist's Daughter
Blending humor with pathos, The Pugilist's Daughter illuminates some of the complications inherent in a fateful family position as the daughter most emotionally enmeshed with a wayward father. Some of the poems like "First Night," "How Insomnia Runs Through a Bloodline," "Black Pearl," and the titular poem portray a childhood and youth scarred by sorrow and loss, while others, such as "Story," "It Was Like This," and "Vigil" trace some of the steps and missteps taken to unravel the Gordian knot characteristic of this position within an "electric" constellation. Buoyed by humor, blunt charm, and the desperate pursuit of serenity in impossible situation, Lowery's account charts a narrow path o...
The House is Made of Poetry
Ruth Stone has always eschewed self-promotion and, in the words of Leslie Fiedler, "has never been a member of any school or clique or gaggle of mutual admirers." But her poems speak so vibrantly for her that she cannot be ignored. In her preface to this volume, Sandra M. Gilbert declares that Stone's "intense attention to the ordinary transforms it into (or reveals it as) the extraordinary. Her passionate verses evoke impassioned responses." At the same time, Gilbert continues, the essays collected here "consistently testify to Stone's radical unworldliness, in particular her insouciant contempt for the ' floor walkers and straw bosses' who sometimes seem to control the poetry ' factory' bo...
Texas in Poetry 2
And, of course, one poem about Texas that is magnificent in its awfulness, "Lasca," with memorable lines like "Scratches don't count/In Texas down by the Rio Grande."".

By the Light of a Neon Moon
This collection offers memories of love found and of love lost. There are verses about line dancing and mechanical bulls, crusty bartenders and jukeboxes whining out two-stepping songs full of pedal-steel guitar.

Baby Steps in Doomsday Prepping
"Anyone in the mood to be enchanted by a collection of prose poems that celebrate the quotidian, the commonplace, the ordinary things of this world-those "dumb beautiful messengers," as Walt Whitman famously referred to them in "Crossing Brooklyn Ferry"? Then you best pick up a copy of Gerry LaFemina's book Baby Steps in Doomsday Prepping.... [LaFemina offers a] kind of precision with language-making a "place" into a "thing" and conveying its feel, look, and impression on the soul with such searing clarity.... [his poems] enchant the senses and succeed in stopping time . . . so that we might examine the things of this world with love and intelligence, so that we might hear them speak to us again"--
Mother Mary Comes to Me
The Virgin Mary long ago transcended her religious origins to become an instantly recognizable icon. From pop art to pop music, Mary's status as the Mother of God continues to inspire the faithful and the secular. A statue of Mary weeping blood or her appearance on a piece of toast still has the power to make front page news and bring the devoted running with candles and eBay bids. In Mother Mary Comes To Me, poets explore the intersection of the sacred and popular personifications of Mary that have evolved throughout the ages, and how she still holds sway in the 21st century as a figure to be praised and celebrated.
