Native Guard by Natasha Trethewey - Publisher's
Marketing: "Through elegiac verse that honors her mother
and tells of her own fraught childhood, Natasha Trethewey confronts
the racial legacy of her native Deep South -- where one of the first
black regiments, the Louisiana Native Guards, was called into service
during the Civil War. Trethewey's resonant and beguiling collection
is a haunting conversation between personal experience and national
history."

Delights & Shadows by Ted Kooser -
Publisher's Marketing: "Ted Kooser
is a master of metaphor, a poet who deftly connects disparate elements
of the world and communicates with absolute precision. Critics call
him a "haiku-like imagist" and his poems have been compared
to Chekov's short stories. In "Delights and Shadows," Kooser
draws inspiration from the overlooked details of daily life. Quotidian
objects like a pegboard, creamed corn and a forgotten salesman's trophy
help reveal the remarkable in what before was a merely ordinary world.
"Kooser documents the dignities, habits and small griefs of
daily life, our hunger for connection, our struggle to find balance."-"Poetry"
Ted Kooser is the author of eight collections of poems and a prose
memoir. He lives on a small farm in rural Nebraska."

Walking to Martha's Vineyard by Franz Wright
- Publisher's Marketing: "In
this radiant new collection, Franz Wright shares his regard for
life in all its forms and his belief in the promise of blessing
and renewal. As he watches the "Resurrection of the little
apple tree outside / my window," he shakes off his fear of
mortality, concluding "what death . . . There is only / mine
/ or yours, - / but the world / will be filled with the living."
In prayerlike poems he invokes the one "who spoke the world
/ into being" and celebrates a dazzling universe-snowflakes
descending at nightfall, the intense yellow petals of the September
sunflower, the planet adrift in a blizzard of stars, the simple
mystery of loving other people. As Wright overcomes a natural tendency
toward loneliness and isolation, he gives voice to his hope for
"the only animal that commits suicide," and, to our deep
pleasure, he arrives at a place of gratitude that is grounded in
the earth and its moods."

Moy Sand and Gravel by Paul Muldoon -
Publisher's Marketing: "Paul Muldoon's
ninth collection of poems, his first since "Hay" (1998),
finds him working a rich vein that extends from the rivery, apple-heavy
County Armagh of the 1950s, in which he was brought up, to suburban
New Jersey, on the banks of a canal dug by Irish navvies, where
he now lives. Grounded, glistening, as gritty as they are graceful,
these poems seem capable of taking in almost anything, and anybody,
be it a Tuareg glimpsed on the Irish border, Bessie Smith, Marilyn
Monroe, Queen Elizabeth I, a hunted hare, William Tell, William
Butler Yeats, Sitting Bull, Ted Hughes, an otter, a fox, Mr. and
Mrs. Stanley Joscelyne, un unearthed pit pony, a loaf of bread,
an outhouse, a killdeer, Oscar Wilde, or a flock of redknots. At
the heart of the book is an elegy for a miscarried child, and that
elegiac tone predominates, particularly in the elegant remaking
of Yeats's "A Prayer for My Daughter" with which the book
concludes, where a welter of traffic signs and slogans, along with
the spirits of admen, hardware storekeepers, flimflammers, fixers,
and other forebears, are borne along by a hurricane-swollen canal,
and private grief coincides with some of the gravest matter of our
age."

Repair by C.K. Williams - Publisher's
Marketing: ""Repair "is body work in C. K.
Williams's sensual poems, but it is also an imaginative treatment
of the consternations that interrupt life's easy narrative. National
Book Critics Circle Award-winner Williams keeps the self in repair
despite love, death, social disorder, and the secrets that separate
and join intimates. These forty poems experiment with form but maintain
what Alan Williamson has heralded Williams for having so steadily
developed from French influences: "the poetry of the sentence.""

Blizzard of One by Mark Strand -
Publisher's Marketing: "Strand's
poems occupy a place that exists between abstraction and the sensuous
particulars of experience. It is a place created by a voice that
moves with unerring ease between the commonplace and the sublime.
The poems are filled with "the weather of leavetaking,"
but they are also unexpectedly funny. The erasure of self and the
depredations of time are seen as sources of sorrow, but also as
grounds for celebration. This is one of the difficult truths these
poems dramatize with stoicism and wit. The winner of the Pulitzer
Prize for Poetry, Blizzard of One is an extraordinary book--the
summation of the work of a lifetime by one of our very few true
masters of the art of poetry."

Black Zodiac by Charles Wright -
Publisher's Marketing: "In an article
for the Nation, James Longenbach heralded Black Zodiac as Charles
Wright's "most richly satisfying single book", adding
that "he has emerged as a poet whose every line seems completely
recognizable and at the same time utterly fresh". These are
poems suffused with spiritual longing, lyrical meditations on faith,
religion, heritage, and morality that also explore aging and mortality
with restless grace. Entering by way of small moments, Wright magnifies
details to reveal a truth much larger than the quotidian happening
that engendered it. The result is an astonisning, flexible poetry
that, as Helen Vendler has observed, makes Wright a poet who "sounds
like nobody else"."

Alive Together: New and Selected Poems by Lisel
Mueller - Publisher's Marketing:
"In a collection that represents over thirty-five years of
her writing life, this distinguished poet explores a wide range
of subjects, which include her cultural and family history and reflect
her fascination with music and the discoveries offered by language.
In fact, her book is a testament to the miraculous power of language
to interpret and transform our world. It is a testament that invites
readers to share her vision of experiences we all have in common:
sorrow, tenderness, desire, the revelations of art, and mortality
- "the hard, dry smack of death against the glass." To
this community Mueller presents moments after moment where the personal
and public realms intersect, where lives ranging from her own to
those of Mary Shelley and Anton Webern illuminate the ways in which
history shapes our lives. In "Brendel Playing Schubert, "
Mueller's breathtaking linguistic virtuosity reminds us how music
can transport us out of ourselves and into "the nowhere where
the enchanted live"; in "Midwinter Notes, " the crepuscular
world, stripped of its veil, shines forth as a signal from some
realm where the sense of things may be revealed. In the title piece
Mueller brings a sense of enduring and unclouded wonder to a recognition
of all those whose lives might have been our own."

The Wild Iris by Louise Gluck - Publisher's Marketing:
"This collection of stunningly beautiful poems encompasses the
natural, human, and spiritual realms, and is bound together by the
universal themes of time and mortality. With clarity and sureness
of craft, Gluck's poetry questions, explores, and finally celebrates
the ordeal of being alive."

Selected Poems by James Tate - Publisher's Marketing:
"The Selected Poems James Tate's Pulitzer Prize-winning collection
and his first British publication, gathers work from nine previous
books, from the Lost Pilot which was a Yale Younger Poets selection
in 1967, through his 1986 collection Reckoner. He is a most agile
poet in a precarious world. Life is alarming and absurd, but properly
considered that absurdity reveals, often with laughter, the something
else by which we live. The poems are about our world, our wrecked,
vexed love for it. Tate has been described as a surrealist. If that
is what he is, his surrealism issues in a vision of a world delivered
back to itself by his unillusioned subversion and candor."

The World Doesn't End by Charles Simic - Publisher's
Marketing: "In this collection, winner of the 1990 Pulitzer Prize,
Charles Simic puns, pulls pranks. He can be jazzy and streetwise.
Or cloak himself in antiquity. Simic has new eyes, and in these wonderful
poems and poems-in-prose he lets the reader see through them."
