Poetry. IMAGO MUNDI is Michelle Mitchell-Foust's second book of poetry. Stephen Yenser had this to say about it: "a relentlessly curious empiricist happily at large in the world's plenitude--a plenitude as mythical as it is sensuous--Michelle Mitchell-Foust is somehow also a connoisseur of the eerie and the spectral. Master of the odd, brilliantly lit detail, she excels at the labyrinthine, filigreed narrative in which contemporary and historical and fabulous figures intertwine. Hers is a singular and ambitious sensibility that, at every unpredictable turn, testifies to her devotion to the concrete word." Her work has appeared in such publications as The Nation, Colorado Review, and Denver Quarterly. She lives in California.
Since the publication of From the Abandoned Cities in 1983, Donald Revell has been among the more consistent influencers in American poetry and poetics. Yet, his work has achieved the status it has—his honors include fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Guggenheim Foundation and awards from the PEN Center USA and American Poetry Review—in a manner that has often tended to belie its abiding significance. This collection of essays, reviews, and interviews is designed to ignite a more wide-ranging critical appraisal of Revell’s writing, from his fourteen collections of poems to his acclaimed translations of French symbolist and modernist poets to his artfully const...
New York magazine was born in 1968 after a run as an insert of the New York Herald Tribune and quickly made a place for itself as the trusted resource for readers across the country.

"Materer interprets Merrill's body of work from the perspective of his epic The Changing Light at Sandover and shows that in his earliest poems and in the volumes preceding The Changing Light, Merrill repeatedly expressed his fear of nuclear holocaust and his sense that some momentous revelation was near at hand. Materer demonstrates how apocalyptic motifs also inspire Late Settings, The Inner Room, and A Scattering of Salts."--BOOK JACKET.
Fiction. Phil Condon's NINE TEN AGAIN won the Elixir Press 2008 Fiction Award. He is the author of three previously published books of fiction: Clay Center, Montana Surround, and River Street. RT Smith, judge of the Elixir Press 2008 Fiction Award, had this to say: "[NINE TEN AGAIN is] a spellbinding gathering of narratives in which people in difficult circumstances face moments of decision and revelation, while the shadow of the United States' military involvements abroad often fall heavily over them. Whether the protagonists pursue forgiveness, revenge, growth or justice, the stories feature an unflinching realism but still manage to unfold surprisingly and eloquently. A manipulated office worker, a religious bricklayer, a cheerleader, a homeless veteran--memorable characters provide the driving force behind Condon's beautifully efficient stories."
