In Rock Worn by Water, Florence Dacey is smooth. Her lines flow like the waters and winds she calls up in these poems. Her images slip sharp into our breath: a sandpiper's wings carry "sighs of wind under feather." Florence Dacey writes powerfully from within that space for reflection that writers don't find until they have truly matured. The book records the search for a balance of head, heart, and womb, "to ease their old quarrel." She insists that we not turn away from dying rivers, deformed frogs, all our carried grieving. But, she says, "I have young breezes in my old blood." She implores us to "Lie down by the sea... until the water in us/ begins a small conversation/ with the waves." This collection is remarkable for its celebration of the wild as it still exists, even as we suffer its peril. From her deep nature, wide as prairie, Florence Dacey offers us these fine poems of witness and resurgence from grief. John Caddy, author of With Mouths Open Wide: New & Selected Poems (Milkweed Editions, 2008) In this book live the rich and sensuous poems of a woman who has lived long and p

Master of the long line and the line break; known for technical perfection and emotional depth; an award-winning photographer, cherished professor, and accomplished essayist ? George Pitts delivers here five poems written and published over the course of his prestigious 40+ year career as an artist, intellectual, and thinking-feeling person. The title poem is published in full here for the first time ? a sweeping historical-sexual narrative about gender in the 20th century. ? ?It is a remarkable poem, shimmering and shifting with an ease of movement and transformation worthy of its subject. The shift between genders and all the subsets of behavior, imagery, and meaning that lie within that huge subject, is exhilaratingly mercurial, like consciousness itself.? Ted Mooney ?I?ve been reading in your long poem ?Partial Objects,? and think it?s truly extraordinary.? John Ashbery ? George Pitts is an Assistant Professor at Parsons The New School For Design. He was the Director of Photography at Vibe Magazine, and LIFE Magazine. In 2006 he received the Lucie Award for Picture Editor of the Year. He is a photo

The Turning is a collection of fifty poems from internationally bestelling author Joanne Fedler's life to celebrate her 50th birthday.? Many of them catch small moments of transformation, as an ending slipped into a new beginning, a choice ruptured the past or a realisation burst an illusion. Some touch on transitions, gateways, moments of leave-taking, sometimes from a self the author was abandoning. The author examines motherhood, solitude, writing and death all of which take her into the deep questions she has about what it means to be a person.?





Esta obra, transgresora de lo políticamente correcto, está compuesta por 35 poemas escritos en un estilo intimista y cercano, en los que el autor saca a la superficie los aspectos más escondidos del alma humana vacío existencial, recuerdos de infancia, amores olvidados, las musas que nos inspiran, los terrores, las prisiones que constituyen el cuerpo y el tiempo, nuestra fragilidad física y emocional, nuestra irrelevancia, nuestra solemne necedad- y la condición que arrastramos de convertirnos antes o después, en estatuas rotas. Todo ello es puesto a la vista, componiendo un conjunto de realidades en las que cada lector se reconoce y a las que puede dar su propia interpretación. La obra, estructurada en 3 capítulos: Cielos, Infiernos y De nuevo la vida, que pueden ser interpretados a título de presentación, nudo y desenlace, nos descubre también una cáustica crítica a nuestra hipócrita, opulenta e histérica cultura occidental, constituyendo a la vez un elogio del silencio, de la belleza del planeta, del maravilloso misterio de la existencia y de lo insondable del alma humana, poniendo de manifiesto la omnipresencia de una realidad paralela, alternativa, al alcance de todos y de la que la tribu sociedad, con sus grotescas y estridentes formas y maneras, trata obstinadamente de alejarnos.
