NEW Water Lilies: And Other Ethereal Poems - Jim D'Anie

New poetry by Jim Moore, who “elevates economy of phrase to an art” (Minneapolis Star Tribune)             No, I don’t know the way to get there.             Two empty suitcases sit in the corner, if that’s any kind of clue.                                —from “Almost Sixty” Brief, jagged, haiku-like, Jim Moore’s poems in Invisible Strings observe time moving past us moment by moment. In that accrual, line by line, is the anxiety and acceptance of aging, the mounting losses of friends to death or divorce, the accounting of frequent flyer miles and cups of coffee, and the poet’s own process of writing.

Jim Thomas deftly weaves simple themes of midwestern rural life into exceptional reflections on the human experience.

C.D. Wright is a fearless poet long admired for her authentically erotic verse. With a Southern accent and cinematic eye she couples strangeness with uncanny accuracy, bundling fragments of stories to create poems that are, as she describes them, "succinct novels." Wright’s poems are simultaneously modern and deeply primal; they are pheromonal.Gathering work from her eight previous volumes, Steal Away weaves new work with Wright’s best lyrics, narratives, prose poems, and odes.You didn’t know my weariness, error, incapacity, I was the poet of shadow work and towns with quarter-inch phone books, of failed roadside zoos. The poet of yard eggs and sharpening shops, jobs at the weapons plant and the Maybelline factory on the penitentiary road. —from "Our Dust"Wright shrinks back from nothing."—Voice Literary Supplement"Wright is one of America’s oddest, best, and most appealing poets."—Publishers Weekly"C.D. Wright’s best new poems are defiant, erotic, and disjunctive, easy to be moved by, hard to assemble, and like nothing else being made today."—Boston PhoenixC.D. Wright was born and raised in the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas. She has published nine collections of poetry, served as State Poet of Rhode Island, and earned many awards, including a Lannan Literary Award and a Guggenheim Fellowship. She teaches at Brown University and is presently at work on a poetry-and-photographic documentary of Louisiana prisoners.Also Available by C.D.

"Measured but warm, this work draws you in; it is another success among her many titles."—Library JournalIn her fifteenth collection, Maxine Kumin meditates on the social consequences of such events as the bicentennial of the Civil War, and looks to poets writing from circumstances vastly different from her own. With death the central theme, poems of the body and praise songs for beloved animals explore how memory consoles and haunts.
