Neil de la Flor: An Elephant's Memory of Blizzards
Between each line of wordplay and imaginative leapfrogging, there’s a grown up’s sense of seriousness about the individual’s relationship to nature and to society, to religion and to politics, and, not least
of all, about the poet’s relationship to love and universe itself.... --Steven Cordova |

"Like Zukofsky, Foster evinces the meticulous care of a seasoned cabinet maker." —John Olson "Epitome of the poet / scholar.” —Greenwood Encyclopedia of American Poets and Poetry |
“ I don’t like people calling writing ‘gorgeous’ but this really is gorgeous writing. What a crazy/delicious world McIntosh invents.”—Lanford Wilson, winner of the Pulitzer Prize |
"an extended meditation on...the psychic wormholes that allow instantaneous travel along our internal galaxies, that hide just underneath the next memory, the next sentence, and behind the all, the ALL itself—unknowable, perhaps, but in Pines’ poetry nearly imaginable." — The American Book Review |

“There is a subtle mind embodied in Meredith Cole’s quick poems, which operate
on an odd combination of understatement,
inference and smart-aleckness. As
the title Miniatures suggests, her poems are often constructs of transience and delicacy from a quasi-Asian tradition — but these values are also challenged and debunked by the wit and pragmatism of a highly American speaker. This collection is a lively, worthwhile and engaging trip.”

Categories are not abstractions, they are bodies. Family is one such embodied category, gender another. What happens to bodies when they don’t fit the categories assigned them, when they lack
families, when they criss-cross gender or genre lines? ... Eileen R. Tabios and j/j hastain are trans-parents to a
fresh embodiment of words and bodies, and to what they mean when they come together as books and persons. Their writing counts the change(s) in
unexpected vocabularies.

“In these newest of her poems, Harriet Zinnes has dared to accept the deepest challenge of all writing: i.e. to dwell in the moment that is the seed-time of
moments and in the image that rests forever within the disappearance of all
images once beloved. Here is an unconditional clarity. Here are poems whose singularities are never less than complete.”
