The Way In
John McAuliffe presents a collection of open, vividly imagined poems which speak directly to readers.
Selected Poems
John McAuliffe's Selected Poems begins with poems of the senses, of place, of childhood memories from Kerry, and of calendar and life events. These early poems are often personal, a note maintained among later, broader perspectives. One constant throughout the Selected is that McAuliffe views his subjects with one eye toward the ordinary and the other toward what is distinctive and often surprising in it. In recent volumes, in poems grounded in Manchester, where he lives and works, there is a more cosmopolitan, indeed global feel to the poems, though he never loses respect for the ironic and local. In this regard, he is Horatian: poems justify the labor of the poet's life within the margins of the poem itself, and the objects that occupied his early poems continue to occupy his later work. For all the changes in perspective which age and emigration may have brought, he observes the "remaining vase coolly at home up there where it had been forgotten." The poet remains, like the blackbird, "a creature of its mid-air qualms, / its clustered notes and afterthoughts and here-I-ams."

A Better Life
The world of John McAuliffe's first book is surprisingly populous, even social. Many of the poems are grounded in speech and conversation and see different things in the same light. He is constantly alert to that moment when one thing changes into another or clarifies into unexpected meaning.

Stockholm Syndrome
Igor Klikovac is a poet whose work is as shaped by his Sarajevo roots as by his travels: the poems, often up in the air, between places, among the clouds that increasingly pass over European nations, are brilliantly observed, ironic, densely material, then spaciously open to what he misses and remembers and can do justice to. Translated by John McAuliffe and Igor Klikovac, the selection for this pamphlet is from Igor's third book of poetry, Stockholm Syndrome.
A Journal for Christa
The biography of Christa McAuliffe--the eldest child of a close Catholic Massachusetts family and a dedicated Girl Scout who came of age in the turbulent sixties and early seventies and became a schoolteacher and a mother. She was little known beyond her personal circle until selected by NASA to be the first civilian sent on a space mission as the "Teacher in Space."
