"Before Willa Cather turned primarily to the fiction that made her reputation, she produced striking poems that were collected in "April Twilights." It was her literary debut, preceding the publication of "O Pioneers!" by nine years. In her introduction distinguished Cather scholar Bernice Slote notes that this edition of "April Twilights" restores what had been "an almost lost, certainly blurred, portion of the creative life of a great novelist." Among the thirty-seven selections are the much-anthologized "Grandmither, Think Not I Forget" and the highly evocative "Prairie Dawn." This printing includes a new introduction by Robert Thacker that provides new insights into Cather and her poetry"--

"Don't sit on your stool, watching life go by," insists Soutcho Lydie Toure. In this collection of reflections written over a decade, she explores insecurities and vulnerabilities, with which many a reader will relate. She shares about loneliness and feeling different and goes on to ponder everyday life in "Politicking" and "VDN" -- a memorable highway in Dakar which pedestrians must cross "under the mocking smile of the sun." Toure draws on experiences and insights from her life betwixt and between West Africa and North America. In her verses, spiced with nature, color, joy, humor and fantasy, questions and answers compete equally for the reader's attention. A veritable source of confidence in the force of life and love. Confidence that makes one grow wings.

Gay is a poet of conscience, who echoes Tomas Transtromer's 'We do not surrender. But want peace.'""--Jean Valentine ""Ross Gay is some kind of brilliant latter-day troubadour whose poetry is shaped not only by yearning but also play and scrutiny, melancholy and intensity

On the surface, L. S. Klatt's poems are airy and humorous-with their tales of chickens wandering the highways of Ohio and Winnebago trailers rolling up to heaven and whales bumping like watermelons in a bathtub-but just under the surface they turn disconcertingly serious as they celebrate the fluent word. Under the heat of inquiry, under the pressure of metaphor, the poems in Cloud of Ink liquefy, bend, and serpentine as they seek sometimes a new and sometimes an ancient destination. They present the reader with existential questions as they side-wind into t
