Poetry
Poetry. In early June of 1995 Beth Leonard, Nanao Sakaki and I traveled to Newfoundland to see icebergs, caribou and moose. As we traveled we talked of how every place has its own messages, visions, teachers, practices. I suggested that we become caribouddhists, wandering with the great herds, listening to their stories, tasting the ice... CARIBOUDDHISM chronicles this journey into inner and outer landscapes with a delicate hand: Somewhere there is a town-/ and the river moves through it-/ and we move through it like water-/ smooth, fast, remembering/ the cabin, the fire, / the open door, / and every goodbye we have said/ to every place that ever mattered (For Preble Street). Includes drawings by Stephen Petroff and Li Ching Accurs
Expansive and innovative, this is the fifth collection from award-winning poet Keith Flynn. A place-based abecedarium, this compilation features two poems representing each letter of the alphabet. Recalling a specific place, city, country, or region, these poems vary in form and texture and are linked to the adjacent poems by a theme, an image, or a single word. The result is a collection filled with historical vignettes and an unerring grasp of contemporary culture. An almanac with inspiring insights into the human condition, this book utilizes a musical language and illustrates the planet's new global challenges.
Miya Coleman's premier collection, Cottonmouth paints the picture of what makes up a home, and also, more importantly, what doesn't.
Readers join Coleman as she journeys through her own conceptions of race, religion, beauty, and addiction to uncover what it means to be one person with many different identities.
At the center of the book lies love and grace, as Miya examines cycles of grief and familial trauma, and confronts the aftermath. All the while a quiet, insistent voice asks, is love enough?

"Images of real and symbolic violence ricochet and reflect off each other in this elegant and disturbing collection. The poems chronicle, among other things, a history of childhood abuse and its after effects, but in a larger sense, they also explore through the lens of myth, art, religion, and popular culture, the underlying and often unacknowledged brutality beneath even mundane events.''
