Book Description
One of the great, and original, purposes of poetry is to 'preserve the beloved.' This book by Mother and Daughter serves as a carrier of love, documenting family, and the poets' lives, with language and story that add beautifully to our literary culture. -Grace Cavalieri, Maryland Poet Laureate Carolyn Clark's new book enjoys a collaborator- her mother Florence, also a published poet, and, like her daughter, a good one. The collection braids these two, and the poems share similar themes-often a travelogue of love well spent, eyes and ears open. As Florence Adams Clark writes of poetry: "How many lives / I've found in you, / lost: my fingers / ache." Mother and daughter dance a lively duet; the poems are always on the go. So too is the welcome chant of rhyme, more formally in the mother, echoing internally in the daughter, though there is nothing old fashioned or postmodernistically obscure in either. You will read these poems with delight; spread the word. -Jack Hopper, Twice Poet Laureate of Tompkins County, NY; author of Rafting the Medusa Praise for Poet Duet: A Mother and Daughter: There is an elegance to the poetic duet, by Carolyn Clark and her mother, Florence. They flow off each other harmoniously, touching on themes of reflection on the enormity of simple moments, and the gratitude for life and loved ones, with both gentleness and intensity. It is a reflective wisdom, unified by generations, which ruminates on elation and loss, with the patience and understanding that all of it is temporary. -Lauren Reynolds, author of The Light Box, (Finishing Line Press, 2014)

Book Description
From the author of The Latehomecomer, a powerful memoir of her father, a Hmong song poet who sacrificed his gift for his children's future in America In the Hmong tradition, the song poet recounts the story of his people, their history and tragedies, joys and losses; extemporizing or drawing on folk tales, he keeps the past alive, invokes the spirits and the homeland, and records courtships, births, weddings, and wishes. Following her award-winning book The Latehomecomer, Kao Kalia Yang now retells the life of her father Bee Yang, the song poet, a Hmong refugee in Minnesota, driven from the mountains of Laos by American's Secret War. Bee lost his father as a young boy and keenly felt his orphanhood. He would wander from one neighbor to the next, collecting the things they said to each other, whispering the words to himself at night until, one day, a song was born. Bee sings the life of his people through the war-torn jungle and a Thai refugee camp. But the songs fall away in the cold, bitter world of a Minneapolis housing project and on the factory floor until, with the death of Bee's mother, the songs leave him for good. But before they do, Bee, with his poetry, has polished a life of poverty for his children, burnished their grim reality so that they might shine. Written with the exquisite beauty for which Kao Kalia Yang is renowned, The Song Poet is a love story -- of a daughter for her father, a father for his children, a people for their land, their traditions, and all that they have lost.

Book Description
2021 NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST FOR POETRY Eschewing series and performative typography, Douglas Kearney’s Sho aims to hit crooked licks with straight-seeming sticks. Navigating the complex penetrability of language, these poems are sonic in their espousal of Black vernacular traditions, while examining histories, pop culture, myth, and folklore. Both dazzling and devastating, Sho is a genius work of literary precision, wordplay, farce, and critical irony. In his “stove-like imagination,” Kearney has concocted poems that destabilize the spectacle, leaving looky-loos with an important uncertainty about the intersection between violence and entertainment.
