Place: New Poems
AuthorJorie Graham
ISBN0062190644
In Place, Graham explores the ways in which our imagination, intuition, and experience--increasingly devalued by a culture that regards them as "mere" subjectivity--aid us in navigating a world moving blindly towards its own annihilation and a political reality where the human person and its dignity...

The Art of the Lathe
AuthorB.H. Fairchild
ISBN1882295161
I might give this book five stars just on the basis of the poems "Beauty" and "Body and Soul." The first is a stunning hymn to the American resistance to beauty (that soft and useless presence in the world). The second is one of the greatest poems to use a sport (baseball) as its platform--though of course...

AuthorHart Crane
ISBN1931082995
No American poet has so swiftly and decisively transformed the course of poetry as Hart Crane.

There can be no doubt that Hayden Carruth is one of the preeminent American poets of the late twentieth century. In these poems written since publication of his Collected Shorter Poems, 1946-1991, which won the National Book Critics Circle Award, he speaks with intimate and urgent clarity of love late...

Charles Bukowski: A Sure Bet
AuthorGerald Locklin
ISBN0934953430
Charles Bukowski, Gerald Locklin, two almost household names in the poetry small press. Who came first? Why does it matter? Each was, or is, unique in his approach to the written word. Bukowski liked to drink, to play the horses, to write, but that was not the totality of the poet or the man. Readers seems...

The Wine of Youth
AuthorJohn Fante
ISBN0876855826
A high two stars. There are a couple of really good stories in here (Scoundrel, In the Spring, A Kidnapping In the Family) that bring to mind Fante's best work, but there's also a lot of corniness and false sentimentality. I like Fante, I really do, but most of this showcases his worst tendencies. For example,...
