There. Here
These poems attempt a new twist on the lyric, bringing an accessible post-postmodern awareness to the traditional concerns of sound, line, and form. Many poems and sequences amplify each other and honor the sensuous "sound body" (sometimes called phontotext) of the lyric, while also appealing to eye and mind, opening spaces for the reader's memory, desire, empathy, and imagination.
Hidden Sequel
Poetry. Stan Sanvel Rubin lives in Port Townsend on the Olympic Peninsula of Washington. He has published two previous full-length collections, Midnight and Five Colors, and his poetry has appeared in such magazines as the Georgia Review, Kenyon Review, Chelsea, and Beloit Poetry Journal, among many others. He is the founding director of the Rainier Writing Workshop low-residency MFA Program at Pacific Lutheran University. 'The man who shoots/at another man has forgotten/what the student who sits all day/is trying to remember.' Will someone please place this book on the steps of the White House? The poems of Stan Sanvel Rubin move with unobtrusive delicacy and deep grace through the mysteries of time and being. He's a wise guide, rich with luminous beckonings, unflinching in the face of complexity. One feels more peaceful, reading these fine, compelling poems-Naomi Shihab Nye.

Breaking the Alabaster Jar
In the foreword to Li-Young Lee’s first book, Rose (BOA Editions, 1986), Gerald Stern wrote, “What characterizes Li-Young Lee’s poetry is a certain kind of humility, a kind of cunning, a love of plain speech, a search for wisdom and understanding. . . . I think we are in the presence of a true spirit.” Poetry lovers agree! Rose has gone on to sell more than eighty thousand copies, and Li-Young Lee has become one of the country’s most beloved poets. Breaking the Alabaster Jar: Conversations with Li-Young Lee is a collection of the best dozen interviews given by Li-Young Lee over the past twenty years. From a twenty-nine-year-old poet prodigy to a seasoned veteran in high demand for ...

Charles Wright in Conversation
Because Charles Wright occupies a large space in contemporary American poetry, it is only natural that his readers over the years have wanted to engage him in conversation and discover more about his career and inspirations. In this collection of richly detailed interviews conducted between 1979 and 2006, Wright eloquently discusses a range of topics, including the beginning of his poetic career in Italy, his experiences at the University of Iowa, the American and European influences on his work, contemporary poets he admires, his place in Southern literature, the art of translating poetry, and such formal matters as his lineation and rhythmic phrasing, his use of syllabics, and the development of his characteristic style. An extensive bibliography of writings by and about Wright supplements the interviews.
What Persists
What Persists contains eighteen of the nearly fifty essays on poetry that Judith Kitchen published in The Georgia Review over a twenty-five-year span. Coming at the genre from every possible angle, this celebrated critic discusses work by older and younger poets, most American but some foreign, and many of whom were not yet part of the contemporary canon. Her essays reveal a cultural history from the dismantling of the Berlin Wall, through 9/11 and the Iraq War, and move into today's political climate. They chronicle personal interests while they also make note of what was happening in contemporary poetry by revealing overall changes of taste, both in content and in the use of craft. Over time, they fashion a comprehensive overview of the contemporary literary scene. At its best, What Persists shows what a wide range of poetry is being written--by women, men, poets who celebrate their ethnicity, poets who show a fierce individualism, poets whose careers have soared, promising poets whose work has all but disappeared.
