New in June: I Am Not Sidney Poitier and The Looking House
|
|||||||
By Matthea Harvey "So much happens in their small, hard shapes: wit, sorrow, and an intelligence that nips and worries its subjects into giving up their full oddity and originality. A reader does not consume this poetry. She is, instead, pinched and prodded towards revelation. Each neat poem is a Pandora's box full of wonderful troubles." —Lynn Emanuel |
By Barrie Jean Borich "An empathetic writer who can do justice to simple happiness and complicated love." —Ms. |
By Kirmen Uribe “Thank you Elizabeth Macklin for bringing to English readers the poetry of Kirmen Uribe written in the oldest European language. Macklin’s English, like Uribe’s Euskara is lyrical with a hard edge, sad and funny, rich in paradoxes. Uribe is a poet of consequence and Macklin has accomplished no small feat.”—Mark Kurlansky, author of The Basque History of the World |
By Tess Gallagher FORTHCOMING SEPTEMBER 2009 “The characters in The Man from Kinvara are men, women, and children who observe the world in terms of story, which is to say, they view themselves, and others, as part of a larger meaningful narrative. The stories are rife with generosity or compassion, and the characters possess great sentiments without the residue of sentimentality, and possess also a curious, uncommon dignity, operating with a worldview that relies upon hope as its fuel.” —RICK BASS

By Venus Khoury-Ghata and Marilyn Hacker “I found A House at the Edge of Tears stunning and provocative, compelling and haunting. Vénus Khoury-Ghata has weaved like a lace maker the story of her brother, herself, her family, and a society far removed from any bland ideal...using the finest, poetic, hypnotic prose which pricks you like needles.”—Hanan al-Shaykh |
