The Good Thief

The Good Thief

Selected by Margaret Atwood as a winner in the 1987 Open Competition of the National Poetry Series, this unique collection was the first sounding of a deeply authentic voice. Ms. Howe's early writings concern relationship, attachment, and loss, in a highly original search for personal transcendence. Many of the thirty-four poems in The Good Thief appeared in such prestigious journals and periodicals as The Atlantic, The American Poetry Review, Poetry, Ploughshares, The Agni Review, and The Partisan Review.

Blood Sugar

Blood Sugar

Blood Sugar is a disturbing and evocative collection of new work and selected poems previously featured in Blackman's enormously popular chapbooks Pretty, Sweet, and Nice. Her work has appeared in five major anthologies including Aloud: Voices from the Nuyorican Poets Cafe, Verses That Hurt, and Poetry Nation. Blackman has performed on more than 20 recordings, including collaborations with Golden Palominos, Recoil, KMFDM, and Scanner. She has also performed internationally and on NPR, MTV Radio, Spin Radio, and been featured on Salon.com. It is futile to resist her brutal accounts of obsession and beauty. So give in.
Blizzard of One: Poems

Blizzard of One: Poems

Former U.S. Poet Laureate Mark Strand writes poems that weave between abstraction and the detailed particulars of actual experience. Filled with leave taking, his Pulitzer Prize-winning collection is also unexpectedly funny.
Fear Itself: Poems

Fear Itself: Poems

In his new collection of poetry, Rice is an expert practitioner of the paranoiac-surreal . . . . His true subject is the uneasy equation between horror and beauty, the 'liquification of flame' and the 'liquid of order.' He is often capable of delivering the instructive surprises of the best poetry. Graham Christian, LIBRARY JOURNAL.

Black Maria

Black Maria

Young channels the world of detective movies, picking up its lingo and dark glamor in five reels of poetry, for the adventures of a soft-boiled private eye, known as A.K.A. Jones, and an ingenue turned femme fatale, Delilah Redbone, who's come to town from down south.
Captivity

Captivity

Clear or wholly settled, not even the veins on the underside of a leaf, its freedoms. At once tender and fierce, concise and associative, Laurie Sheck's Captivity charts and explores the textures and movements of mind in her gorgeous, long-lined poetry. Placed at intervals throughout the book are poems the author calls Removes, which take their initial impulse from American captivity narratives and constitute a profoundly felt inquiry into what is familiar and what is strange, what it means to be displaced and radically apart, and how disruption itself becomes its own kind of opportunity. The poems describe a psychic territory both desolate and exultant, as Sheck embraces the fragmentary, yet stays alert to what remains mysteriously standing. She writes, Thinking has a quiet skin. But I feel the break and fled of things inside it. In Captivity, Sheck illuminates this shadow-thought world that governs what we are and attains provocative glimpses of the fluid self.
