Hermine Pinson speaks and sings for herself and others.

A work by an East European poet.

Introduction by Russell Banks No one understands the loneliness of the long-distance writer in a tumultuous time better than Ted Solotaroff. These wise, lucid, superbly-humane essays have been mined from deep tunnels of insight and experience, and polished by a master's hand. A few, like Writing in the Cold, have been passed around like samizdat for years, providing counsel, solace, and nerve to a generation of American writers eager to keep f...

Gardinier is above all a poet whose language and images are completely integrated so that, in Keats's words, every rift is laden with ore. --Adrienne Rich Praise for Suzanne Gardinier's previous work: A great poem of this end of our century. It is masterfully structured in recurring themes and voices which build on and off each other. Gardinier is above all a poet whose language and images are completely integrated so that in Keats's words, ev...

Bilingual EditionTranslated from the Hebrew by Rachel Tzvia Back "A reasonably discerning reader of Hamutal Bar-Yosef in translation will find that although her poems are written about her life, which has been tragic and sometimes glorious, Israel, the Jews and their culture, what it means to be alive, the world--all very big subjects--her writing is such that if she were writing about a soap bubble she would be immediately recognizable as a g...

Mersal offers an exquisite daughter-to-father poem. Titled "The Clot, " this sequence radiates with a combination of tenderness, humor and anguish unmatched in contemporary Arabic poetry."--From the Introduction by Khaled Mattawa

Vibrant, radiant, Michael Schmidt's poetry is steeped in the modernist tradition (Yeats and Eliot) and questingly new. The result is a passionate discourse that is at once earthy and numinous, from which 'flows that unusual grace which is rooted in muscle, / Which comes from the marrow and lymph, which is divine.'" JOHN ASHBERY "I don't know anyone who is writing devotional poetry in which the self-discovery is so moving and convincing. When M...

Rika Lesser, through these somberly glowing meditations, has brought a whole world - its gods, artifacts, plunderers - to language and to life." JAMES MERRILL "We discover the dire, fastidious significance of Rika Lesser's poems, which are of course a meditation on what happens to the open secret of her life, what becomes of now, we discover, in so many Etruscan things taken out of their Etruscan places, that the past pollutes AND saves."

First English translation of revolutionary Algerian poet

Dante Micheaux's poetry is always musical. He plays in a group with Cavafy, Lorca, Komunyakaa. His instrument is a clear exact voice with his heart beating so loud you can hear it. He has highs and lows that reach into something Greek, into jazz, into the blues, into metaphysical English poetry. He pulls all this off remaining wonderfully African-American." STANLEY MOSS" The passionate music woven through Dante Micheaux's Amorous Shepherd eman...

A superb translation of one of Brazil's great Modernist poets.

Dannie Abse is a Welsh lyrical poet and medical doctor with a choirmaster's ear for language. Readers will hear, where there is narrative in these poems, a sometimes distant, sometimes nearby Welsh-English sound - call it pitch, call it history. And where there is song, something other - passages particularly beautiful in a language that is extra-English. There is mystical, moral sunlight in Abse's poetry, a gift for the simple truth.
