Tremendum, Augustum
"Political, fierce and tender, Leonore Wilson's poems take 'cadence inside herself,' and 'anti-matter-matter flagellating, palpitating' into mysteries of life and death, female presence, the planet, gender and music. Her process is transformative; the reader's experience is deliciousness. Gaia's sweet substance..." -Annah Sobleman, author of In the Bee Latitudes and The Tulip Sacrament "Jane Kenyon talked about how the best poetry seems to 'body forth' from the poet, ...and Leonore Wilson's poems are meditative and deeply felt, but they reach outward rather than inward. These poems sing themselves from body and soul into the world.... I am glad for this book with its authentic thought and language that is radiant, redeemable and true." -Gary Short, Stegner Fellow and author of 10 Poems and 13 Horses, Flying Over Sonny Liston and Theory of Flight These comments are from Leonore's previous book: Western Solstice.
Western Solstice
"Leonore Wilson's Western Solstice contains poems that spring whole and marvelous, shimmering from the earth. Born from a profound, wide-ranging, original and feminine mind, they bewitch the reader with a lush, passionate voice that is 'all impulse of towards' and a tensile form that is as breathtaking as its content. This book is a true treasure." --Cathy Colman, author of Borrowed Dress and Beauty's Tattoo

Speaking Finch
These are works of nature that wind us through the year on a river of changing seasons, and around every turn, the reader sees the art of the beaver, hears the descending song of the canyon wren, and is surprised by personal dragons. Here is poetry that embraces drunken Frenchmen and childhood longings; some remain in the ether, some are realized. From death, basketball, and the long arm of fantasy from someone who has forgotten his meds, straightforward descriptions of zoological specimens morph into something fresh. These poems are the adventures of a varied life where the therapist is a guitar, mountain lions and street folk respected comrades, and a canoe the better office.
Unruly Catholic Women Writers
Finalist for the 2013 ForeWord IndieFab Book of the Year Award in the Anthologies Category This unique literary anthology is devoted to unruly Catholic women. In short stories, poems, personal essays, and drama, the contributors describe women's struggles with Catholicism and also complicate contemporary understandings of women's relationships to their faith. Catholicism often oppresses the women in these creative pieces, but it also inspires them to challenge literary, social, political, and religious hierarchies. The collection reflects the considerations of a wide range of women from a variety of ethnic backgrounds, geographic locations, and generations; they encompass the gamut of reacti...
Napa at Last Light
The New York Times bestselling author of Napa tells the captivating story of how the Napa Valley region transformed into an extraordinary engine of commerce, glamour, and an outsized version of the American dream—and how it could be lost—in “a strong plea for responsible stewardship of the land” (Kirkus Reviews). Not so long ago, wine was an exclusively European product. Now it is thoroughly American; emblematic of Napa Valley, an area idealized as the epicenter of great wines and foods and a cultural tourist destination. But James Conaway’s candid book tells the other side of the romanticized story. Napa at Last Light reveals the often shadowy side of the latter days of Napa Valle...
