New Messiahs
“All is in this book: our lives from hour to hour, the memories that define us, love, redemption...But in the end the question still remains: “Who will come to bury / he who comes to bury me?” Powerful, crystal clear, intimate and world-building, this book is testimony and proof that the miracle of our lives will continue. New Messiahs is the right title.” —Tomaz Salamun, winner of the Slovenian National Book Award “In Henry Israeli’s debut book, we are still on the infamous train of the twentieth century, there’s no getting off, and we’re all responsible and helpless. Thankfully, however, these poems are noble memories of transformations, they allow that we are made of “little bones that contemplation holds together.” How the spirit carries the wounded body around in here! You can feel the real wind rage, feel yourself tested.” —Jane Miller, winner of a Lila Wallace Reader's Digest Award and a Guggenheim Fellowship
Lightning from the Depths
If a people Have no poets And no poetry of their own For a National Anthology Then treachery and barking Will do the trick With these words, a challenge is laid down in this new volume of Albanian poetry. Albania, however, has a dynamic tradition of literature. Lightning from the Depths is the first English collection to present the full range of Albanian verse. Albanian literature has had many lives. The early Christian traditions disappeared as Islam and the Ottoman Empire took over. Muslim literature, too, withered when the nation strove to become an independent European country. The beginnings of a modern tradition were quashed by the Stalinists. All along this rocky path, poets have turned the political strife, poverty, and isolation their nation has often experienced into culture, both celebrating and questioning the society in which they live. Lightning from the Depths opens readers’ eyes to a new political and cultural world populated artists who can spin despair into poetry.

Glass, Irony, and God
Anne Carson's poetry - characterized by various reviewers as "short talks", "essays", or "verse narratives" - combines the confessional and the critical in a voice all her own. Known as a remarkable classicist, Anne Carson in Glass, Irony and God weaves contemporary and ancient poetic strands with stunning style. This collection includes: "The Glass Essay", a powerful poem about the end of a love affair, told in the context of Carson's reading of the Bronte sisters; "Book of Isaiah", a poem evoking the deeply primitive feel of ancient Judaism; and "The Fall of Rome", about her trip to "find" Rome and her struggle to overcome feelings of a terrible alienation there.
