Without Benefit of Words
A lovely linguistic tension runs through this first collection of poems by Kathleen Wall, a desire to close the grieving space between words and feeling: the taut ache of separation, the mute solace of animals and gardens, a daughter's silent discoveries. These are gentle, serious poems which draw on all the senses to discover how the world is made, how love and sorrow form the final record of experience.
Parenting Tricks of the Trade
This guide is full of practical ideas to help parents maneuver through the daily pitfalls of child rearing.
Callisto Myth from Ovid to Atwood
Kathleen Wall traces the myth through fifteen works of English, American, and Canadian literature, providing a fresh, feminist reading of these narratives. Among the works analysed are selections by Margaret Atwood, Charlotte Bronte, Thomas Hardy, and George Elliot. The resulting text reveals many facets of the realities of women's experience from the Middle Ages to the twentieth century. And ultimately, Wall shows rape to be an expression of dominance rather than lust, giving increased support to the definition suggested by feminists. Wall demonstrates that the Callisto myth is a powerful archetype which illustrates both the victimization of women and their search for independence and autonomy, an archetype that should not be ignored by modern women.
Blue Duets
Lila, a talented pianist and wife to Rob, has decided she cannot passively follow a score someone else has written—in her musical career and her marriage. As she struggles in her role as daughter to a mother who is dying of cancer, Lila finds that Kevin, a violinist and Lila’s musical partner, helps to keep her love of music in tune through trying times. Lila’s husband Rob has his own demons to conquer. A cynical history professor, Rob has been accused of harassment by his own department head. With each chapter told from the point of view of one of the three major characters, Blue Duets is a meditation on life at middle age and the consequence of compromise. As the narrators’ voices move from harmony to discord, we learn to appreciate the different perspectives in the story. Lila, puzzled yet rational, uses what she understands of art and music to pilot her present life struggles. Kevin is comic and transparent in his observations of Lila’s existential dilemma. Rob’s penchant for gourmet cooking disguises his inability to reflect. In Blue Duets, enjoy a novel about perspective and learning to trust one’s intuition.

Time's Body
Kathleen Wall's second collection propels the reader into a music of clear, lyrical richness. Time's Body is at once refined and elemental, the voice both melodic and full of wit. Again and again we find ourselves in the powerful present, listening to a chord or pausing in a garden where suddenly the flow of time is glimpsed with precision and clarity. Here is a mature poet at the height of her powers, showing us, virtually line by line, that each moment in our lives has extraordinary implications. Book jacket.
The Devil's Wall
Legend has it that twenty miles of volcanic rock rising through the landscape of northern Bohemia was the work of the devil, who separated the warring Czechs and Germans by building a wall. The nineteenth-century invention of the Devil's Wall was evidence of rising ethnic tensions. In interwar Czechoslovakia, Sudeten German nationalists conceived a radical mission to try to restore German influence across the region. Mark Cornwall tells the story of Heinz Rutha, an internationally recognized figure in his day, who was the pioneer of a youth movement that emphasized male bonding in its quest to reassert German dominance over Czech space. Through a narrative that unravels the threads of Rutha'...
