Both Sides Of The Niger

Andrew Kaufman

For many years I have admired the restless and generously spirited poems of Andrew Kaufman. He really does go to both sides of the Niger--both literally and metaphorically. This is not only a splendid book but it's also splendid journey!

The Ivory Hour

Laynie Browne

Laynie Browne channels the energy of Mirabai in a book that is both charred and luminous. Her writing is a gift of abrasion, making the body of the reader a portal too.

A vision rare in contemporary US literature, Matlin's writing reaches into the great social and political commitments of the 19th century without asking us to grow nostalgic about the past.
