Old River, New River
Literary Nonfiction. Poetry. OLD RIVER, NEW RIVER, as a literal miscellany, comprises a gathering of short essays, memoirs, contemplative notes, and even a few poems. Various well-chosen corners of North America, including the author's hometown, provide grist for these meditations and speculations. Some celebrate brief moments of revelation. Some ponder the elusiveness of history, the songs of birds, or the dimensions of place. Several reflect on facets of writing (both prose and poetry): how the art arises, is induced by the world, and how it functions once it is fledged.
New River Breakdown
"Not only is Terry Kennedy's NEW RIVER BREAKDOWN a stellar volume of prose poems, but it's also a canny primer on that genre--a many-headed, oft-misunderstood hybrid. His querulous, introspective speaker resists his own breakdown by breaking down his universe into parcels of incremental wonder in which 'fear and love [are] one and the same.' The result is poem after poem of fabulous imagery and infinite possibility. We recognize in these tableaux the worlds we inhabit and long for at once--articulated so memorably in 'What Love Comes To': 'One small thing I still love about you is how little of you I actually know...' Kennedy expertly explores the prose poem's accommodating elasticity, beaut...

London's New River

Garadh Gaidlig Nam Marbh
The Gaelic Garden of the Dead is three Books of the Dead bound as one. This trilogy comprises an alphabet of trees, ten dream pattern poems and thirty-five death sonnets deconstructed to Mary Queen of Scots. Saturated with the languages of arboreal myth, magic and folklore in Gaelic culture, the first book, The Gaelic Garden of the Dead, is a forest quartet whose letters enunciate the imagery of their own form and function, drawing on the traditional Scots Gaelic alphabet of trees. Among reflex-men and co-walkers are corpse measuring aspen rods, the pine hanging tree and the poison yew. As a meta-narrative of ecological preservation and a comment on ancient language culture, The Gaelic Garde...
Plagios/Plagiarisms, Volume Two
PLAGIOS/PLAGIARISMS, VOLUME TWO. A Bilingual Edition. Translated by Terry Ehret, John Johnson, and Nancy. J Morales. Poet, essayist, and translator Ulalume González de León believed that "Everything has already been said," and thus each act of creation is a rewriting, reshuffling, and reconstructing of one great work. For this reason, she chose the title PLAGIOS (Plagiarisms) for her book of collected poems. Nobel Laureate Octavio Paz called González de León "the best Mexicana poet since Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz," recognizing the visionary quality of her work. This second of three bilingual volumes presents several short collections of poems González de León produced from 1970 to 1975. Through her experimentation with unconventional syntax and borrowed texts, the poet skillfully blends anatomical, scientific, and philosophical vocabulary with richly erotic imagery to question our assumptions about identity and intimacy. Poetry. Latinx Studies. Women's Studies.
