The images in these poems will be etched in your mind long after you have put this book down.             Siste Viator Sarah Manguso Four Way Books, 2006 It Means, "Stop, Traveler" My publishers always tell me to refrain from titling my books in any other language than English, and yet Sarah Manguso has found a wide audience for her poetry even when her book has a Latin name. I like it, for it gives the book a sort of ancient Ruskin feeling, or ...             In the Mouth: Stories and Novellas Eileen Pollack Four Way, 2008 A fantastic collection of stories Eileen Pollack's newest collection of stories is very good.

Whatever pain Lawrence ...             The Little Book of Guesses John Gallaher Four Way, 2007 "The Future Sure Was Something" This isn't the most earthshaking book of poetry to cross my desk this month but it has its considerable virtues. It's not accessible the way William Carlos Williams' poetry is, but it shares with WCW an appreciation for the thingness of things, the nitty-gritty ...             After Dayton (A Stahlecker Series Selection) C.S. Carrier Four Way, 2008 The suburban world of After Dayton is radioactive, diseased and energetic in equal measure. It pulses and strobes with the exothermic reactions of modern science and the familiar everyday colliding: "battery-operated candlesticks still burn the secrets of Christmas." These poems strive desperately to name, but objects and people squirm and ...             Echolalia Deborah Bernhardt Four Way Books, 2006 Winner of the Intro Prize, selected by Marianne Boruch ?How even to talk about what it is to read these haunted, ecstatic (wily so, calmly so) immensely likable, edgy poems that Deborah Bernhardt has given us?

The language and cadence?fractured, ...             New Messiahs Henry Israeli Four Way, 2002 Discovering Love in the Wreck of Life Henry Israeli's debut collection, New Messiahs, moves with strength and bitter tenderness to collect what might otherwise be lost: a dying father, "the machinations of a spring unsprung," the dismantling of a carnival that must move on to another town. The beauty of ...             Realm of the Possible Sharon Dolin Four Way, 2004 the possibilities of poetry Sharon Dolin's new book Realm of the Possible uses a quote from Pindar to open: "My soul, do not seek immortal life, but exhaust the realm of the possible." This epigram is a flag starting the car race--and Dolin's poems are off, trying to cram in as much living as ...             A History of the Only War Christopher Davis Four Way Books, 2005 Harrowing and brilliant I read this book on the advice of a friend and it completely blows me away. The poems are nothing less than stunning. They are difficult, and the revealations they come to are often unpleasant, but they are also wickedly funny and incredibly scary. This is a top notch ...             Buddha's Dogs Susan Browne Four Way, 2004 Storms And Laughs As I am also a former student of Susan Browne's, I'm a bit ashamed to admit that I only recently got around to buying this fine book. I'm pleased to report that the collection is shot through with the kind of wry, sad, eyes wide open approach to poetry that Susan has ...             Why the Ships Are She (Stahlecker Series) Terri Ford Four Way, 2001 Fabulous! Terri Ford's _Why the Ships Are She_ is in a total delight--all glee, wit, charisma and surprise.
