Jayne Marek’s In and Out of Rough Water is a moving and profound collection that transforms the wilderness into a meditation on the human condition.

I’ve always enjoyed the minimalist precision of Kate McNairy’s poems, but something really special happens when twenty-six are arranged in a sequence.

In this short collection, I encountered gasp after gasp of discoveries. The images are strange and precise, surreal and darkly comical.

Things Seen is a must-have collection for lovers of ekphrastic poetry. The opening section has fourteen poems that invite fresh ways of seeing art by Andrew Wyeth, Paul Gauguin, Salvador Dali, Edward Gorey, and others.

How could I resist a poetry collection titled Lauren Bacall Shares a Limousine? Even the table of contents is a joy to read.
