with such a distinguished group of great poets."</span></i><br />

a unifying force in the Boston poetry scene, and the most viable way
for poetry lovers to keep in touch with what's happening. There's nothing

Well, yet another Ibbetson
Street has arrived. You will note the striking front cover – an
arresting photograph of an enigmatic spiral staircase from Jennifer
Matthews, with splendid graphic touches (note the spectral birds) by
Rose Gardina. On the back, our long time contributor the accomplished
artist Bridget Galway, has a haunting painting of a woman captured in
the face of a clock – of all things. Ah! sweet mystery of life!
Not only do we have fine art, but we have our usual lineup of fine
poetic talent with folks like Jean Valentine, George Kalogeris, Teisha
Twomey, Marge Piercy, Kathleen Spivack, X. J. Kennedy, Diana Der
Hovanessian, Victor Howes, Mike Ansara, Rhina P. Espaillat, Maggie
Dietz and so many others.

<a href="http://www.lulu.com/shop/bridget-seley-galway/what-moments-yield/paperback/product-24146135.html">What Moments Yield</a> - Artist-poet Bridget Seley Galway’s poems show the painter’s eye with their details from her rich life growing up in New York City and Provincetown with artists, writers and junkies and her more recent life in Somerville, Massachusetts. Beach grass, hot sun on tarred rooftops, fire hydrants spraying water, cold concrete walls, a babe in arms, birds on telephone wires through a window, darkened corners with heroin addicts shooting up.</div>

<a href="http://www.lulu.com/shop/kuoya-dut/through-my-kakuma-eyes/paperback/product-24143174.html">Through My Kakuma Eyes</a> - Kuoya Dut has created a powerful collection of soulful poems that juxtapose images of revolution and displacement with the solace found in nature and the achievement of inner peace. Carrying with him recollections of his homeland, he embarks on an inward journey, quieting his “roving mind” and following the “whispers” of his destiny. “Sit in the heart of your presence,” he advises—a meaningful message for us all. — Dr. Rossi-Le, Vice President and Dean of Endicott College.</div>

<a href="http://www.lulu.com/shop/denise-provost/curious-peach/paperback/product-24129212.html">Curious Peach</a> - By Denise Provost. These poems are “old-fashioned” in the best sense of that term—unabashedly romantic and joyful in their celebration of the natural world. Full of feeling but not the least bit sentimental, this collection offers a welcome contrast to the angst and pessimism that seems to inspire so much contemporary poetry. — Charles Coe – author of Memento Mori</div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Too many people fear death. Keith Tornheim confronts it in all its
possibilities. His poems are straightforward, tender, compassionate and
with even a touch of humor. For the living there is a need to deal with
the transition of those alive to being deceased. He also expertly helps
the living deal with memories of those who have died. Keith Tornheim has
elegantly presented the readers of this book with scenarios that offer
guidance to the emotion of seeing a loved one or friend on their final
journey or those who are forever gone. -- Zvi A. Sesling, author of Fire

<div class="description">
Philip Burnham Jr. murmurs his poems to us as if they were delicate miracles of nature or intimate secrets … and many of them are. The poet’s persona captures you with his likeability and does a masterful job conveying love, loss, and mortality through images of the natural world and an extraordinary perception of the ordinary and tangible elements of time and place. — Dennis Daly

No two ages of life encounter precisely the same moments. If poetry relies on the rendering of experience so genuine as to wake the imagination, the poems from Kimberly Pavlovich’s first book are admirable in their unflinching courage and versatility. Between the lines, we see emerging a literary Romantic, with an eye for the strange beauty of unseemliness (or, as Hopkins put it, “pied beauty”). The wonderfully titled You Carry the Woods makes for an auspicious beginning.

<b>ON WINGS OF SONG BY MOLLY LYNN WATT</b></h3>
<div id="shareButtons">
On Wings of
Song…
… is a journey into the heart, the place of deep caring for the state of
being human. Watt has written with the sincere and sympathetic hand to
mark a path for the reader to return to the Civil Rights Era of the
50’s and 60’s, a history that never leaves us. As she writes, there is
no time for fear. In the inscape of her journey we see the time for
caring is now. These are gentle but sure lines of conviction, lines
worthy of a standing applause.

Meghan Perkins' poems are a
pleasure to imbibe. They are straight-shootin' charms of incidental
show-downs and revery of memory. Her endings are crafty without being
too lick and she seems right at home in her bones and her vision of
things. These poems represent a very promising first collection, sharp,
concrete and humorous, walking a line between a reverence for life and a
discerning and ironic laughter at its ironies and twists. --Lo
Galluccio (Cambridge Populist Poet)
With disarming precociousness and pearl-like insights Meghan Perkins
pulls on life's loose threads and unravels them before our eyes. Her
poems speak to what she knows best and her powers of sassy observations
amaze.--Dennis Daly (Author of The Custom House)

<a href="http://www.lulu.com/shop/dan-sklar/flying-cats-actually-swooping/paperback/product-20968625.html">FLYING CATS (actually swooping)</a> By Dan Sklar<br />
Fans of European 19th century verse, thick with symbolism and
multi-syllabic, will find little to love in Dan Sklar’s work. Sklar’s
poetry could be characterized as American Primitive, clean and
bracing as creek water. Like Whitman, Sklar celebrates the mystery and
profundity of the everyday. This is “guy” poetry, muscularly
chronicling the days and to-do list of the contemporary American male,
helplessly and joyfully committed to the challenges of raising a
houseful of boys, teaching sleepy-eyed college students, and handling
the ignominies of manuscript rejection letters. Sklar’s poems tumble
and sing with enormously universal appeal. <br />

Choir Of Day by Robert K. Johnson $14.00<br />
<br />
A dawn light glows over Choir of Day, this generous selection of new poems, and work drawn from each of Robert K. Johnson’s many previous books. Here are poems of literal dawn and the birdsong that accompanies it. Here also is a more metaphorical light, one that emanates from these poems and their capacity to refresh our vision, to renew our sense of love and relationship, and to face without flinching the inevitable losses and painful truths of our lives. Let us give thanks for this dawn chorus. — Fred Marchant, Author of The Looking House<br />

"Starting with Allen Ginsberg and ending with Charlie Parker, Sam Cornish takes us on a whirlwind tour of some of the livelier segments of 1950s and early ’60s American culture. With non-stop energy, syncopated rhythms, and a fast pace that keeps you humming as you turn the pages, Cornish visits a wide array of writers, musicians, and films, stopping along the way to visit local poetry scenes and pay tribute to the homeless and poor. Calling on Jack Kerouac, Langston Hughes, Marlon Brando, Miles Davis and a host of others, Cornish makes us feel the excitement of those times, even as he and his companions absorb the complex and often disturbing history of what he aptly calls “My Young America.” — Martha Collins order link:<br />

Wrestling Angels by Freddy Frankel $14.00<br />
<br />
Freddy Frankel brings deep human sympathy and philosophical insight to this book of poems about biblical figures, spiritual and political leaders, and philosophers. These are not biographies, but rather short, deft, impressionistic portraits that say as much about the poet as about his subjects. Looking at these famous (or infamous) individuals from his unique, personal perspective, Frankel helps us see each of them in a fresh and thought-provoking way. — Lawrence Kessenich, winner of the 2010 Strokestown International Poetry Prize and former Houghton Mifflin editor<br />

EAST OF THE MOON by Ruth Kramer Baden ($15.00)<br />
<br />
Ruth Kramer Baden’s poems are witty and with-it, but she is not playing around. These are the poems of a woman who has let wonder ripen into wisdom. Her capacity for empathy, for her earlier selves as well as for others, is rooted in the understanding that life is always a desperate improvisation. “Consider how all that grows/from mud or rock or shadow/ must find a way to live,” she writes. With these poems as our guides, we do consider, and our appreciation of our own lives is thereby deepened. — Richard Hoffman <br />

“To find you, I must navigate a maze of back alleys…” Zvi A. Sesling defi - nitely does this in this beautiful collection of poetry. These poems are sometimes fragile, sometimes blunt, but lyrical enough to draw us into his world with poetry that reads like private little laments. We feel his language. — Gloria Mindock, Červená Barva Press<br />

EVENING WATCH by Cameron Mount $10 <br />

“Cameron Mount makes lyric sense of night watches and reveille. An heir to the New England gothics of Frost and Melville, his relentlessly honest poems are lit with absence and wise to the intimacies of observation. Evening Watch is a startling debut. American poetry has abright, new voice." <br />

<br />
STEERAGE by Bert Stern. $15 "This is the voice of a wondrously common man. By common, I mean generous, inclusive, and able to dance, at times alone if necessary, with God and with life. Heart, and the words thereof, require expansive courage that can regard both death and immeasurable sorrow without dread. The poems in Steerage, whether they are sensuously peasant like and ethnic, or contemplative and spare, are crafted like indestructible carpentry. " Frannie Lindsay<br />

"On How to Read undertakes a vital mission, the questioning of the obvious in an age where the surplus of information seems to have created a new acquiescence.

Rebuilding the Pyramids by Mike Amado<br />
$14.95<br />
<br />
In Rebuilding the Pyramids, we have the rare gift of a lyric carved in the patient space of the wish to live, to continue, to breathe, to make a genuine space inside our lives. The lyric here is carved out of Keatsian spaces, where the metronome in the poet’s ear marks endings more definite than meter and beginnings more beatific than associative pirouettes. Amado shows us the moments of life as meditations, and he makes them anew and shows us how we can always build these beacons that align themselves to what lives beyond us. -Afaa Michael Weaver<br />

<br />
TIME LEAVES by Barbara Bialick ($8.50) “Barbara Bialick’s poems leave the reader with a sad/sweet acknowledgment of the passage of time.

<br />
CONFESSIONS Selected and Edited by Llyn Clague ($10) "Nuggets of irony in the ore of verse!" <br />
<br />
AWAKENINGS by Richard Wilhelm ($15) "In Richard Wilhelm’s powerful free-verse, sonorous, image-tapestried first collection, the mature poet takes us through a remarkable series of awakenings, most of them to profound interconnections between himself and primordial riches of the natural world—half-buried treasures that glimmer with mystery, ecstasy, and the divine, and that contemporary humans have to a great extent lost touch with in their techno-industrial materialistic lives." -- Douglas Worth / author of "Catch The Light" (Higganum Hill) <br />
<br />
SELECTED POETRY (Vol. 2) by Susie D. ($5) More poetry with an edge from journalist, and author Susie Davidson.

Photos and text. 100 pp. <br />
<br />
BLOOD SOAKED DRESSES by Gloria Mindock ($13.50) In her fascinating poem cycle, Gloria Mindock jolts back into memory the roots of El Salvador’s present day violence. Mindock coaxes to the page the voices of the dead who lie, less in peace, than in restless obsession with the atrocities they suffered. She brings forth as well the voices of the living who seem startled to find that they died somewhere between the horrors they witnessed and the grave they have yet to lie down in. Blood Soaked Dresses is a beautiful, harrowing first book. - Catherine Sasanov author of Traditions of Bread and Violence (Four Way Books). <br />
<br />
FROM MIST TO SHADOW: POEMS by Robert K. Johnson ($12) Fred Marchant (Director of the Poetry Center at Suffolk University) writes of Johnson’s work: “His is an art of transparency, an art in which language through its own devices becomes nearly invisible and what is seen through the scrim is usually an epiphany… The ordinary life is under the poet’s gaze transformed into something approaching the sacred…” <br />
<br />
<br />
SONATINA by Johnmichael Simon ($13) "Discords, misses and tangles, are all addressed and folded into the Sonatina while the carousel revolves. What this book accomplishes for us is the vision of all events meshing in the music of life, the bizarre just another octave, the sweet and miraculous all plucked appropriately in reprise and return: "the clouds and God are all that exist and the music, the music." --Katherine L. Gordon, author, editor, publisher, literary critic. <br />
<br />
WASHING THE STONES by Linda Larson. Photos by Karen C. Davis and Rob Rusk. ($10) Howard Zinn noted activist, historian and authors says of Larsen's collection: "I am very moved by Linda Larson's poems. They are about gliding gulls and young love, and a homeless woman up against a tree--all the stuff of life, straight from the heart." Linda Larsen is the former editor of Spare Change News. <br />
<br />
SELF PORTRAIT DRAWN FROM MANY: 65 POEMS FOR 65 YEARS by Irene Koronas ($11.95) Irene receives the smallest whispers - a scrap of paper, a single word, a passing impression and shows us reflections of the infinite, the holy, the human. Her writing evokes ancient dream-time meditations only to return to the mundane details (polish my toe nails) that bring us back to the particular, the present. Her poems are peopled by all sorts of characters; scholars, theologians, children, philosophers, musicians, painters, gamblers, activists, artists, monks, saints, lovers, fathers, mothers, and on. Irene invites us, with this collection of poems, to think about who we are in relation to others - to see ourselves in many different shoes. Ultimately it is an act of great empathy and great imagination. These poems are never didactic, often prophetic, always provocative. <br />
<br />
OUTPOST - A COLLECTION OF POEMS by Abbott Ikeler ($16.50) In Ikeler's poetry, we watch the footprints of dancing maidens disappear at the edge of shore. We watch the beasts of the woods watching a wild thing cutting wood. We trace the DNA of Jove back to the scenes of his crimes. These poems combine the observation of a Robert Frost walking a bleak New England landscape, the pessimism of a Matthew Arnold listening to the sea above Dover Beach, and the wit of an Alexander Pope, as Ikeler encounters the paradox of living a life consistently shadowed by death. Spare in expression but unsparing in their vision, the poems manifest a rare fusion of intelligence and imagination. Order from: http://www.lulu.com <br />

Poems and Paintings ($36) The achingly beautiful cover of timeless trees, earth, flowers and rock, is redolent of Israel's destiny.

Bar-Lev and Simon explore this theme for us. Cyclamens and Swords will become a treasured classic, echoing as it does so fluently, the longing, fearing and questing that marks these troubled times.
