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!

Ashes Rain Down

William Luvaas

Jaw-droppingly brilliant and downright transcendent. 

        Caroline Leavitt

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.

Remains to be Seen

Halvard Johnson

Probably everyone who reads poetry year after year knows of a favorite poet whose reputation should be larger than it is, and my candidate for that position is Halvard Johnson. 

     Charles Baxter

The Number of Missing

Adam Berlin

Berlin’s book is shattering, real, first-person history, made intimate by a narrator forced to stare at himself against the hole of Ground Zero.
