From the Moon, Earth is Blue
"In the Museum of Modern Art," writes Wendy Barker, "chaos / displays itself tidily. Even the viewers // know the dance: stroll, stop, gaze, whisper. / Stroll, stop." Barker's poems tour an imagined museum, allowing us to observe the observer as she learns to see by means of her own creativity. Perspective is crucial to achieving internal balance — in a painting or a soul. After all, "from the moon, earth is blue."
One Blackbird at a Time
Poetry. Winner of the John Ciardi Prize for Poetry, selected by Alice Friman. Barker's poems capture what life is like on the other side of the English teacher's desk, how she reacts to her students' lives and their genuine if not always reverential responses to the literature she aspires to teach. Barker's poems are funny, frightening, moving, and playful (as shown by the title's reference to Wallace Stevens' famous poem, "Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird." "It would be easy to say this is a book about teaching it is but it's also a book about how our experience of reading humanizes us and shapes our experience of the world and other people." Kevin Prufer "In this classroom, no one is exempt. Not the students, not the reader, and bless her not the teacher." Alice Friman"

Crafting Coalitions for Reform
The success of political efforts to create a more open economy in Brazil over the past decade has depended crucially on support from the industrial sector, which long enjoyed the benefits of protection by the state from economic competition. Why businesses previously so sheltered would back neoliberal reform, and why opposition arose at times from sectors least threatened by free trade, are the puzzles this book seeks to answer. Drawing on more than one hundred interviews with industrialists and business association representatives, as well as a wide range of other sources, Peter Kingstone argues that the key to understanding the behavior of industrialists lies in the impact of four factors ...
