Don't Give Me the Whole Truth
Olav H Hauge (1908-1994) was one of Norway's most highly regarded contemporary poets. This extensive selection of his poems was the first to appear in English translation. Though deeply rooted in his own West Norwegian landscape, which he evokes memorably, his poems are of universal not merely local appeal. In their everyday subject-matter, their wry humour and their coot economy, his poems are comparable to those of William Carlos Williams or Brecht.
Preventing Palestine
For seventy years Israel has existed as a state, and for forty years it has honored a peace treaty with Egypt that is widely viewed as a triumph of U.S. diplomacy in the Middle East. Yet the Palestinians - the would-be beneficiaries of a vision for a comprehensive regional settlement that led to the Camp David Accords in 1978 - remain stateless to this day.

Poetry and Sustainability in Education
This edited collection offers educators at all levels a range of practical and theoretical approaches to teaching poetry in the context of environmental sustainability. The contributors are keenly aware of the urgency facing the planet’s ecosystems—ecosystems which include all of us—and this volume makes the case that teaching poetry is not a luxury. Each of the book’s three sections works from a specific angle and register. Part I focuses on pragmatic approaches to classroom activities and curricular choices; Part II considers policies and politics, including the role of the UN’s Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) program; and Part III takes a widescreen view, exploring the philosophical issues that arise when poems are integrated into sustainability curricula. This book exemplifies how poetry empowers readers to think imaginatively about how to sustain—and why to sustain—our world, its resources, and its beauty.
