Oubliette
In his introduction to this, Richards' debut collection, Tomaz Salamun writes "It is inscrutable how Peter Richards produces this religious magma and bathes himself and us in it. How he restores internal time to the work of art."
Nude Siren
"For Richards, life in a poem is like life in a body--most at risk, and most fully at play."--David Rivard, Ploughshares Exfoliating language with wit, Nude Siren is sardonic, intimate, sump-tuous; an exacting sense of remaking the probabilities of words. Richards knows where to find the sinister in humor, and the grace conveyed by beige light. Peter Richards is a recipient of a Massachusetts Cultural Council Grant in Poetry, an Iowa Arts Fellowship, an Academy of American Poets Prize, and the John Logan Award. He is the author of Oubliette (Verse Press, 2001).
The Wines of Chile
Region by region, award-winning writer, Peter Richards takes us through all of Chile's many winemaking areas. Starting with the history of Chile and its wine industry, the work includes details on the country's diversity of terroirs, the range of wine styles available, and the variety of winemaking techniques in use, plus a topical discussion of recent developments. Full details of all the leading producers and their top wines form the core of this book.
Working in Jamie's Kitchen
In the UK in 2002 the celebrity chef Jamie Oliver set out to transform a group of unemployed young Londoners into enterprising, passionate workers. Their struggles, and those that train and manage them, to develop a passionate orientation to work highlights many of the challenges we all face in the globalized labour markets of the 21st century.
They Went Thataway
Composed almost entirely of abstracts of wills, deeds, marriage records, powers of attorney, court orders, church records, cemetery records, tax records, guardianship accounts, etc., this unique work provides substantive evidence of the migration of individuals and families to Virginia or from Virginia to other states, countries, or territories. Although primarily concerned with Virginians, the data are of wide-ranging interest. England, France, Germany, Scotland, Barbados, Jamaica, and twenty-three American states are represented, all entries splendidly tied to court sources and authorities. Each record provides prima facie evidence of places of origin and removal, irrefutably linking individuals to both their old and their new homes, and incidentally naming parents and kinsmen, all 10,000 of whom are listed in alphabetical order in the indexes. It is a safe observation that half of the records, having been exhumed from the most improbable sources (some augmented by the compiler's personal files), are the only ones in existence which can prove the ancestor's identity and origin.
When Angels Fly
When Angels Fly tells of love and loss at a hospital in Spokane, Washington.After the death of her mother in 1988, Hailee Bradford Richards grew up in Sun Valley, Idaho, raised by her father, John Bradford, and a Shoshone Indian woman named Sadie. Deeply rooted in her tribal customs, Sadie had an ingrained belief that spirits walk among us, lending help with our daily lives.Now a doctor of radiology, Hailee has spent most of her adult life rejecting Sadie’s superstitious beliefs. Confronted with the unexpected death of her husband, Dr. Peter Richards, Hailee manages to get through his memorial before discovering that she is pregnant. Angry with God for taking another person she loves, Hailee struggles to accept the things she cannot change.Holden Chambers, chief of staff at Sacred Heart Hospital, befriends Hailee after failing to save Peter when he was brought into the ER. What begins as moral support turns into longing when Holden discovers he has fallen in love with the wife of his dead colleague.This heartfelt story reaches deep into our spirit to show us that we can survive, even after we think we have survived the worst that life has dealt us.
There's the Hand and There's the Arid Chair
Poetry. Poems born in "a time of abrupt needs," this collection catalogs those individual and imperative fancies that, in the cosmos of Tomaz Salamun, eternity aims to replace: A genealogy of dressmakers and songbirds. A biography that locates the poetic "I" as, at once, a primordial being and a tamer of beasts, a monster and a guardian angel. With uncanny and sometimes harrowing grace, Salamun plumbs every reach of the imagination in search of a space where we can delight in and mourn the disintegration of the body. The nine translators who collaborated to bring out this new book by a "major Central European poet" (The New Yorker) include Thomas Kane, Peter Richards, Phillis Levin, Joshua Beckman, Ana Jelnikar, Christopher Merrill, Matthew Rohrer, Brian Henry, and Anselm Hollo.
