The moving, beautifully illustrated story of a little lost dog and his search for a place to call home. Poor Perdu is all alone as he journeys from the countryside to the city in search of a home.

A Natural History of Insects in 100 Limericks
Insects are often overlooked because they are small or ignored because they are deemed trivial, and many are dismissed as nuisance pests. But their numbers and diversity are mind-numbing, and under even a modest hand lens they are beautiful or bizarre. Insects dominate the centre ground of all terrestrial and most aquatic ecosystems. They inform us of the conservation value of ancient woodland and chalk downland. They help monitor the purity or pollution levels of ponds, streams and rivers. And they can demonstrate the effects of climate change, acting as warning lights to alert us to the damage that humans are doing to the world. Recent insectageddon headlines are starting to make people sit up and take more notice. What better way to promote an interest in these fascinating creatures than by poetizing them? This cornucopia of discordant nonsense, with some quite frankly dubious rhyming clashes, is offered up so that entomological outreach will at least benefit from their shock value.
Stranger on Earth
"Jones writes brief, simple poems about isolated incidents while gracefully alluding to the complex relationships underlying them." --Publishers Weekly "Skillful, direct, and surprisingly delicate." --The Village Voice "A poet of uncommon perceptual gifts." --Library Journal Richard Jones's prodigious volume travels the wide arc of a lifetime in Proustian detail. He remembers a peripatetic upbringing, travels to London and Paris, separation from and reunion with his wife in the Italian countryside, morning tea with his daughter and trail runs with his sons, flights with a pioneering aviator father and conversations with a deaf mother. "Impossible task, staying alive," Jones writes, and yet a perspicacious examination of the life we have lived yields clarity andenrichment. Finding poetry in what went before,Stranger on Earth opens the door to what Proust calls "those dwelling-places deep within us that we would not have known how to enter." Richard Joneshas published eleven books of poetry and his poems have been featured on NPR's "All Things Considered." He is the founder and editor of Poetry East, and he teaches at DePaul University in Chicago, where he lives with his family.

A Hill in Lunenburg: New Poems
A Hill in Lunenburg is a collection of new poems by Richard A. Jones. These poems continue the irreverent, postmodern, ludic playfulness with language that Jones initiated in his previous volumes, Bippie Poems, Iowa Poems, and Black and White Coloring Book. Where there is much to snicker at in these poems, there is also a deeply philosophical and aesthetic subtext- with just enough political edge-that the poems bite. A Hill in Lunenburg takes a critically anxious look at what it means to live in America, New England, and Lunenburg, Massachusetts in the twenty fi rst century. Richard A. Jones taught mathematics and computer science at the high school and university levels. He holds a Ph.D. in Philosophy from the University of Colorado at Boulder. Jones taught philosophy and logic at Howard University in Washington, D.C. for ten years. He has published three previous volumes of poetry, many journal articles, and his latest work of non-fiction The Black Book: Wittgenstein and Race was published last year. Jones is retired and lives with his wife of forty-two years, Carol, on a hill in Lunenburg, Massachusetts.
