Let Us Now Praise Ordinary Things
"Nearly everyone I know, when asked what they'll miss when they leave this world, has a list. On mine is Kareem Tayyar's latest collection, "Let Us Now Praise Ordinary Things," which is so full of loveliness and hope and beauty it makes me wish the world and everything and everyone in it immortal. This collection - in the spirit of Pablo Neruda, Rumi, and that beloved chronicler of ordinary things, Amy Krause Rosenthal, who left this earth way too soon - celebrates everything from talking to houseplants, to singing in the shower, to late-night drive-throughs and hippies with "hearts as wide as their bell bottom jeans." Open to any work in this wonderful collection and I promise you'll find a golden tether to this life. Especially beautiful are Tayyar's meditations on teaching and students, who, he writes in "On Teaching," are "the ones who soon enough will set about beautifying the world in ways I cannot even begin to imagine." I could not even begin to imagine a collection this full of life and joy. Praise Kareem Tayyar, who gives us his heart and voice at a time when it feels more urgent than ever."-Lori Jakiela, Author of "Belief Is Its Own Kind of Truth, Maybe"

Postmark Atlantis
A carefully selected collection of poems by Paul Kareem Tayyar, told from the perspective of a mystical, perhaps godlike homeless veteran. Includes the following poems: Unfaithful Your patience is a lie that you sustain An ethos forged from the landscape of a second face All the days that you are certain will be yours Your brothers carry with them when they leave The Magician You want so badly to tell how it's done That you tell it to yourself each night before sleep, Narrating a film that no one will see, The sound of the rain like the beating of wings, The applause you receive for keeping the secret.
In the Footsteps of the Silver King
In the Footsteps of the Silver King follows one man's quest to recover his dead father's World Championship silver medal in soccer. Patrick is led through the West Coast and Iran to rediscover his father's past. The world he enters is so wrapped up in its dream of the 1960s that his world and his father's world become entangled. Tayyar explores America's relationship with history, popular culture, music, sports, immigration, and love in a novel that is equal parts comedy, family drama, and nostalgia.

Poems.
Cairo Traffic
In Cairo Traffic, his third book of poems, Lloyd Schwartz asks the Sphinx to explain the riddle "about, you know, / Time and Power and Families-the one you think you / have the answer to. Tell me your answer! / No . . . don't." The search for answers takes the poet to some surprising, often phantasmagoric places, and back again to the self, to dreams, to home, and even to the nursing home where his mother-sphinxlike herself-becomes the person asking the dark questions and providing some unexpected answers. These extraordinary narratives-funny and frightening, seductive and profoundly moving-explore the intersections of character and language, the places where common speech mysteriously transforms itself into poetry. This book, which includes several translations of contemporary Brazilian poems, confirms Schwartz's growing reputation as an intensely compelling and original poet.
After the Fall
After the Fall refers to the twin towers, and is Field's ode to the events that transpired thereafter—the war in Iraq andthe attack on civil rights in America—as well as his own personal struggles over the indignities of aging.
