The Book of Frenzies
Poetry
Where Water Meets the Rock
In her fourth collection of poetry, Where Water Meets the Rock, Lindsey Martin-Bowen explores loss and recuperation in three sections. “Erosion,” the book’s elegiac opening sequence, laments a trinity of tragic Greek personas: Pasiphaë, Psyche, and Antigone. The middle section, “Frenzies,” a series of zany poems, emulates the ensuing topsy-turvy world that follows deep loss. And finally, “On the Shore” completes the triad, concluding that by re-seeing and re-building life, one can heal the psyche and the spirit. Once again, through the use of her recurring sea-rock metaphor, Martin-Bowen has employed a poetic technique that effectively maintains both a visual and auditory descriptive style, which, according to New Letters editor Robert Stewart, is defined by her “refreshing reliance on imagery and understatement.”

Airs & Voices
Poetry. AIRS & VOICES is the winner of the John Ciardi Prize for Poetry, selected by Mark Jarman, who calls Bonnell's voice "fresh and original." Maxine Kumin writes of the book, "Bonnell's voice is low-key but full of quirky insights that keep these poems fresh and interesting." "This is an enchanting book," writes Richard Wilbur. These poems invent their own forms, with two series of voices (of people, animals, things) portraying a world of peace with varied multicultural and international connections. The shock of 9/11 opens the final section, which relates private experience to wider social healing and the ideal of one world. "'The Voices' may be one of the wisest comments on the catastrophe of 9/11 that an American poet has made," writes X. J. Kennedy.
