Lift
An original collection of poems by Luray Gross. "Luray Gross' Lift represents the work of an accomplished poet at the height of her powers. Assured and lyrical, with no word wasted, Gross' poems are precisely observed while containing multitudes. On subjects that range from childhood, adulthood, and family life to religious faith, war, and social justice, the stories Gross tells are united in their power to move us toward a new recognition of our shared humanity. Gross assures us, 'Language will not abandon us/ will say what needs to be said, enough/ to make the world a burden we can bear.' Thankfully, we have this graceful poet to lift us out of complacency and despair and to elevate our understanding." --Ethel Rackin, author of Evening
With This Body
Luray Gross's With This Body has through lines: early life on a farm, body connections, reactions to current events and traumas, the refuge of words. Dedicated to "all who have lost a child," that child could be a younger self, as well as one lost to illness or tragic circumstance. Often in these poems the adult watches the young self, times and lives overlapping. The effect is delicate; our empathy is cajoled. Many poems are reactions to poets, almost letters, among them to Jane Hirshfield, Richard Hugo, Samira Negrouche, and many more. Gross's impulse to communicate with other writers is expansive yet personal. And as readers, we are always welcome in the conversation. In the center of thi...
The First Inhabitants of Arcadia (p)
"The titles sing their lettered songs: "An Ode to j," "M-m-m Good!" and "O in Trouble."" "Here are "reading lessons," the author's exploration of the curses and blessings of the word. It is about the fall from paradise and the gifts that fall makes possible. And over the whole book broods the great lexicographer, Samuel Johnson, that deeply troubled caretaker of the mother tongue. More than an ABC book, this collection asks questions at the very heart of how we understand the world and shows us the glory and silliness at the heart of human life"--

The Breath of Parted Lips
"An anthology of work from more than 150 poets, judiciously selected from The Frost Place, a sanctuary for poets and poetry. The collected poems honor Robert Frost, himself a lifelong teacher of poetry who encouraged the creative visions of young students, and Donald Sheehan, who has nurtured the legacy of the Frost Place. An original, eye-opening lyrical compendium, flourishing with the brilliance of creative work." --Midwest Book Review
Suffering and Sacrifice in the Clinical Encounter
In Suffering and Sacrifice in the Clinical Encounter, the authors identify the ways in which some patients seek to create what Freud termed a "private religion" and unconsciously substitute sacrificial enactments of scapegoat surrogates to protect them against the pain of separation, mourning, and loss of primary figures of attachment. They investigate the function of sacrifice and its relationship to the breakdown of psychic structure and the development of manic defenses and pathological narcissism. Such treatments are complex, the "reversed roles" of victim and perpetrator central to the sacrificial process when enacted in therapy can trigger feelings of shame, guilt and inadequacy in the...
