How to Talk About the Dead
Regarding How to Talk about the Dead Jeff Newberry's one of our great poets of place--threading memory through local salt and sod to arrive at the universal. And his poems are prayers--quiet and resonant. Not so much tablets of wax as bees. Each poem one tiny traveler bringing home browsed and gleaned and bumped against flowers and lees. Inside Newberry's deft sensory weaves, the honey isn't in the lion's head: no, it's in our ears, on our eyes, and painted thick across our mouths. And always the bittersweet and the sweet intertwine. I finished this shining book and sat very still for a long time. Such is the rooted soaring you are in for. In How to Talk about the Dead, each walking stick is...
Cross Country
The poems of this collection form an epistolary dialogue, one that ranges across the full expanse of lived experience.
Brackish
'Brackish' is an illuminating and pitch-perfect portrait of a region and a people, and Jeff Newberry's wonderful collection also serves as a powerful demonstration of the role that the places we call home have in both shaping and cursing us. These haunting, evocative poems will stay with you for a very long time. ~ Skip Horack, author of The Southern Cross and The Eden Hunter
Coming to Pass
Coming to Pass tells the story of a little-developed necklace of northern Gulf Coast islands. Both a field guide to a beloved and impermanent Florida landscape and a call for its protection, Susan Cerulean's memoir chronicles the uniquely beautiful coast as it once was, as it is now, and as it may be as the sea level rises. For decades, Cerulean has kayaked, hiked, and counted birds on and around Dog, the St. Georges, and St. Vincent Islands with family and friends. She has collected scallops, snorkeled over a fallen lighthouse a mile offshore, and cast nets and fishing lines into cyclical runs of mullet and shrimp. Like most people, she didn't know how the islands had come to be or understa...

The Season of Lost Children
In a small college town in Pennsylvania the lives of a bigamist's wife, a Polish orphan, an ex-priest and his wife—a former nun—and a mute teenage runaway intersect. The Season of Lost Children explores the question of what constitutes family and finds that the answer is often closer than we think, if only we look with and within our hearts. The Season of Lost Children can be enjoyed on its own, but was also written as part of The Fenston Trilogy, in which Blomain planned to trace fifty years of the interwoven lives and friendship of three women in a bucolic Pennsylvania college town. While The Season of Lost Children focuses on the life of the eccentric former nun, Eleanor Roderi, the first novel in the planned trilogy, A Trick of Light, chronicles the heartbreaking discovery and redemption of Hattie Darling, the only daughter of the town's first family.
