Winner of the 2008 Agnes Lynch Starrett Poetry Prize Enacting the Zen proverb "fall down seven times, get up eight," this collection explores the ways we fall--through disillusionment, disappointment, and plain, old-fashioned mistakes, and the ways we rise up--out of personal debacles, unfortunate circumstances, family legacies, and collective struggles.

In Praise of Falling

Leap is a book about not looking away. These poems focus on the hard subjects: a child's life-threatening illness, a mother's struggle with the serious illnesses of all her children, the ends of marriages, the deaths of lovers, the slow demise of parents, one's own mortality, humanity's physical and emotional frailties. But the poems in Leap are not grim. They resonate with life and survival, with richness of rhythm and language. They reach backward to embrace Primo Levi, Poe, and Berryman, and forward to anticipate a generation yet unborn. There is a keen eye observing the living and a keen ear moving these poems along to their surprising last lines. At once narrative and lyric, they express the voice and experience of a poet who has lived fullyand is now fully engaging the tools of her craft.

Please

In Kara Candito's prize-winning debut collection a "garish/human theatre" comes to life against richly textured geographic and psychic landscapes. These poems are high-speed meditations on a world where Walter Benjamin meets the "glitzy chain-link of Chanel scarves" and Puccini's "Tosca "meets the din of the Times Square subway station. Ferociously witty and intensely lyrical, "Taste of Cherry" speaks to us in a language that is simultaneously private and public, sensual and cerebral.

The poems in Daniel Mark Epsteins eighth poetry collection range from the solid and accomplished works for which he is known to astonishing pieces that are near-spiritual encounters. Always an assured poet, Epstein employs inventive rhythms to remarkable effect in these new poems, as if the reader is not so much reading the poems as remembering them. And with the discovery each poem brings, there is a shock of recognition, as though these elusive yet essential ideas have been present all along. The Glass House is an amazing bookwonderful in its evocations of nature, encouraging sometimes, often elegiac and even heartbreaking.

On a soft summer Virginia evening Shelly Wagner was pushing her five-year-old son in a tire swing in the backyard, idling away the hours between dinner and bedtime. She left him only for a moment, but when she returned Andrew had disappeared. He was found later that night, drowned in the river behind their home. From the depths of grief that followed, Wagner began to write poemsnot as therapy, she says, but to see if she could express the range of her experience more fully than the published books she'd read. What emerged from Wagner's quest is a volume of verse that has comforted and inspired thousands of parents, patients, and other determined survivors.

The Dirt Riddles

Things That No Longer Delight Me is a collection of poems about family and memory. This book is filled with objects. The author writes:I like objects for company,to decorate the plainest spaces, decorumandI amass details, jade bracelet, her animal-printdresses, an oval coral cameo.How do objects counter loneliness, she asks, and speak to us of how to behave?In Things That No Longer Delight Me, lyric is driven by a compulsion or need to collect, in order to make sense of the past and stay connected to it.And what if that connection were to be lost? Confronting loss, the book pieces together a family history from stories fragmented and overheard. It asks: What is hearsay and what is history? It seeks to embody story, or historical detail, in lyric form. Resisting nostalgia, its poems respect what is diminished by grief or loss yet reveal details that hold sway over us and give us continuing pleasure.
