In his thirteenth collection of poetry, Jack B. Bedell examines moments of reparation and continuance in the face of loss. By turns personal, ecological, cultural, and fantastic, these poems promise new maps to navigate damaged territories. The rituals of family and South Louisiana culture share space with folklore and history here.

EDEN'S LAST HORIZON is a work created from the pain and sorrow of what humans are doing to the Earth. Yet is also a poem of hope and joy for the varied and magnificent places on the planet and from inside the minds of people who love it. Both manifesto and a book of praise, the volume is darkly painful and yet filled with the light of the Earth's possible salvation.

In the title poem of Gordon Johnston's second collection, a canoer with his keel in a quick current is too caught up in the flow of water, sunlight, and sycamore leaves to say precisely where he is on the river. He is constantly both arriving and departing, negotiating his passage through a riverscape that is as ancient as it is newborn, that is mapped and familiar but always in flux. These poems engage the losses and renewals of this flux.

GRASS CHAPELS offers readers a sampling of William Wright's poetry from eight previous collections, along with a section of new poems. The poems in this collection are grounded in the beauty and energy of the physical world, particularly wilderness, and specifically Southern landscapes. Wright's poetry is often gothic in tenor, and these meticulously wrought pieces investigate themes as varied as the limits of language, the importance and amorphous nature of memory, the miracle and mystery of consciousness, and the cyclical and embattled state of both human beings and the natural world from which they spring.
