Making Poems
This diverse collection of poems and companion essays by forty nationally and internationally known poets allows readers to experience the creative process through the eyes and voice of each poet.

By exposing readers to the finished product as well as the poet's own account of the poem's creation, Making Poems offers a behind-the-scenes perspective on the poetic process that will fascinate both beginning and established writers. The book also affords poetry instructors an opportunity to demonstrate to their students the ways in which poems can originate from seemingly mundane and unlikely sources.

Coffin Honey
In Coffin Honey, his seventh book of poems, celebrated poet Todd Davis explores the many forms of violence we do to each other and to the other living beings with whom we share the planet. Here racism, climate collapse, and pandemic, as well as the very real threat of extinction—both personal and across ecosystems—are dramatized in intimate portraits of Rust-Belt Appalachia: a young boy who has been sexually assaulted struggles with dreams of revenge and the possible solace that nature might provide; a girl whose boyfriend has enlisted in the military faces pregnancy alone; and a bear named Ursus navigates the fecundity of the forest after his own mother’s death, literally crashing int...

Fast Break to Line Break
If baseball is the sport of nostalgic prose, basketball’s movement, myths, and culture are truly at home in verse. In this extraordinary collection of essays, poets meditate on what basketball means to them: how it has changed their perspective on the craft of poetry; how it informs their sense of language, the body, and human connectedness; how their love of the sport made a difference in the creation of their poems and in the lives they live beyond the margins. Walt Whitman saw the origins of poetry as communal, oral myth making. The same could be said of basketball, which is the beating heart of so many neighborhoods and communities in this country and around the world. On the court and on the page, this “poetry in motion” can be a force of change and inspiration, leaving devoted fans wonderstruck.
Sinners & Social Workers
This is the story of eight individuals whose lives...and deaths...overlap, as they meet again ...on the "other side," where each is given a choice of fates, guided by a variety of angels and saints, and cajoled by the devil himself.: CHARLIE, the good husband and father, overcome by an inexplicable suicidal depression; PENNY, raised by a caring grandmother, but driven by self-destructive and sadistic urges; MARION, abused as a youngster, yet saintly in her desire to help others; DR. HARRISON, the wealthy Ob-Gyn who could not resist his predatory urges; FATHER BRYAN, able to forgive everyone except himself for failing to protect a murdered child; CARRIE, devoted to her church, but not to her husband; CHRISTOPHER, the "accidental" President who was determined to make the country a better place, even if it cost him his life; and TODD, the Vice President who manipulated the country into a war for his own self- aggrandizement.
