Book Description
"This is a brilliant, funny, subtle book. One of Carol Snow's subjects is the tenuousness and ferocity of relationship, so it shouldn't have come as a surprise, though it does, that she has made a feast from the subject of prepositions."—Robert Hass "A poetry—post-traumatic—half-seen, half-remembered, half-named--the event more than half gone—still every half-part is a whole, when space is equal to it. Here is a new and mesmerizing way of thinking about things."—Fanny Howe "Carol Snow's staggering, ruthless poems hold a heroic quality that feels rare these days. With a string of improbable comrades--Lewis Carroll, Sappho, A.R. Luria, and the Zen gardeners of Ryoanji Temple, Kyoto--she tracks the intricate twists and turns of American language towards uncharted territory. Every fork in thought bristles with danger and decision. A brave book indeed!"—Andrew Schelling

Book Description
Each of the poems in Seventy Faces arose in conversation with the Five Books of Moses. These poems interrogate, explore, and lovingly respond to Torah texts-the uplifting parts alongside the passages which may challenge contemporary liberal theology. Here are responses to the familiar tales of Genesis, the liberation story of Exodus, the priestly details of Leviticus, the desert wisdom of Numbers, and the anticipation of Deuteronomy. These poems balance feminism with respect for classical traditions of interpretation. They enrich any (re)reading of the Bible, and will inspire readers to their own new responses to these familiar texts.

Book Description
Translated and Introduced by Magnus J. Krynski and Robert A. Maguire Regarded as one of the best representatives since World War II of the rich and ancient art of poetry in Poland, Wislawa Szymborska (1923-2012) is, in the translators' words, "that rarest of phenomena: a serious poet who commands a large audience in her native land." The seventy poems in this bilingual edition are among the largest and most representative offering of her work in English, with particular emphasis on the period since 1967. They illustrate virtually all her major themes and most of her important techniques. Describing Szymborka's poetry, Magnus Krynski and Robert Maguire write that her verse is marked by high seriousness, delightful inventiveness, a prodigal imagination, and enormous technical skill. She writes of the diversity, plenitude, and richness of the world, taking delight in observing and naming its phenomena. She looks on with wonder, astonishment, and amusement, but almost never with despair.

Book Description
Red Stilts finds Pulitzer Prize-winner and former U. S. Poet Laureate Ted Kooser at the top of his imaginative and storytelling powers. Here are the richly metaphorical, imagistically masterful, clear and accessible poems for which he has become widely known. Kooser writes for an audience of everyday readers and believes poets “need to write poetry that doesn’t make people feel stupid.” Each poem in Red Stilts strives to reveal the complex beauties of the ordinary, of the world that’s right under our noses. Right under Kooser’s nose is rural America, most specifically the Great Plains, with its isolated villages, struggling economy, hard-working people and multiple beauties that surpass everything wrecked, wrong, or in error.
