Crazy Love
In this his third collection of poems, Anthony Petrosky charts the longing and exasperation of desire and attachment. With intensely felt attention to specific gestures and occasions, he offers moving portraits of people and times kept close through a questioning of memory and imagination.

Red and Yellow Boat
In Red and Yellow Boat, his second book, Anthony Petrosky, winner of the 1982 Walt Whitman Award of The Academy of American Poets for Jurgis Petraskas, weaves together themes of class and family conflict, unit and brotherhood, love, suffering, and transformation. These poems pay homage to the difficult lives of the working class, taking care to allow those lives their full complexity and revealing emotions that drive them both into and away from the realities of daily existence. Petrosky addresses one of these realities in “My Father’s Voice”: When he talks suicide, I tell him there are reasons to live, and he tells me, with that voice, that I don’t know what I’m talking about, that I don’t know the pain he feels. He says it with the voice now inside of me, the one that speaks and snaps out when I am afraid or angry, and I have begun to hear it in my sons. Counterbalancing these emotions are poems that celebrate the triumph of love–the poet’s love for his sons, for a woman, for lives that can be decisively changed. The result is a moving, intensely felt collection, a striking successor to the poet’s first book.

Talking Together
"The idea of communication or community pervades everything I've written". So concluded the poet David Ignatow - from his perspective as a septuagenarian - in a 1985 letter to his literary executor, Roy Harvey Pearce. For this poet, staying in touch with his colleagues and editors through written correspondence amounted to an affirmation of his own existence. Spanning nearly four-and-a-half decades of communication, a collection of David Ignatow's letters has now been compiled and edited by poet and critic Gary Pacernick, one of Ignatow's recent correspondents. Pacernick's sensitively selected compilation, Talking Together, traces the poet's career from his youthful stance as a workingman-po...
