Featured Titles
  • One Thousand Sheets of Rice Paper: Poems
    By author: Kevin Cantwell
    This third collection of Kevin Cantwell's poetry is characterized less by formalism than by the lyric poem as an exploration of the process of making art. Intimate poems from family life give pointed texture to the more meditative encounters within the paragraphing of longer stanzas.
  • Box Office Gospel: Poems
    By author: Marissa Glover
    Marissa Glover once again addresses herself, with her signature wit and moxie, to matters political and personal, sacred and profane, in a voice at once disarmingly colloquial and slyly erudite. Varying tonal registers with an easy grace, she ranges freely over national affairs of great historical importance and tiny, shrewdly observed incidents from domestic life.
  • Immortal Stuff: Prose Poems
    By author: Cathryn Hankla
    Cathryn Hankla's eleventh volume of poetry and second full-length collection of prose poems, offers us an intimate catalog of what's remembered, what's observed, and what's imagined. Lyrical or narrative by turns, nuanced and deft, Hankla's prose poems range through the realms of reflection and imagination, finding them not so different: they rub shoulders and embrace like old friends.
  • Elizabeth Oakes Smith: Selected Writings, Volume I: Emergence and Fame, 1831-1849
    By author: Timothy H. Scherman
    Timothy H. Scherman re-introduces modern readers to a nineteenth-century woman writer and political activist whose disappearance from literary history would seem impossible in light of the volume of her published writing and the visceral responses she elicited from readers in her own day. Collecting samples of her work in every genre--personal letters, short fiction, essays, lectures, editorial, memoir, excerpts from several novels and one of her plays--Scherman captures the full creative range of one of the earliest woman professionals in the literary field in three conveniently arranged volumes.
  • Seven Islands of the Ocmulgee: River Stories
    By author: Gordon Johnston
    These seven river stories, written after the author canoed the Ocmulgee and its tributaries, draw on European American, Native, and African American traditions and relationships with the upper river between the confluence of the Yellow, Alcovy, and South Rivers under Jackson Lake and Macon, Georgia. Set from the 1810s to the present, the stories follow characters as their inherited or adopted perspectives on the river--and their ignorance of it--are altered by their personal experience of the watershed's danger, power, and life.
