Without Saying by Richard Howard
In Richard Howard's new collection, voices of myth and memory prevail, if only by means of prevarication — the voice of Medea's mother trying to explain her daughter's odd behavior to an indiscreet interviewer; or first and last the voice of Henry James, late in life, faced with the disputed prospect of meeting L. Frank Baum and then, even later on, "managing" not only Maetrlinck's Bluebeard but his own unruly cast of characters, including Mrs. Wharton and young Hugh Walpole…
Sources, by Devin Johnston
“Sparkling with energy and intelligence, these poems are likes chips in a mosaic, spare, hard, precise, and with a classic humanity and grace.” — David Malouf
Clouds, Leaves, Waves: A Painter's Poem, by Gregory Botts
Introduction by Harold Bloom.
“Botts is a celebrated and critically respected painter devoted to the American Sublime. These writings gathered from his journals and notes, attest that he is a remarkable poet as well.”—Library Journal
Committed To Memory, by John Hollander
“Poet John Hollander has divided the poems into Tales, Sonnets, Songs, Meditations, and Counsels. Committed to Memory is a wonderful gathering of poems for memorization.”—Harold Bloom
Talking Cures, by Richard Howard
“This collection is a vivid reminder of the gifts that have made him a powerful presence in American poetry for forty years.”—The New York Times Book Review
The Silent Treatment, by Richard Howard
"I don't like direct self-expression. All the work that I do is some kind of invocation of or transaction with others, whether it's criticism, translation, or poetry. There are poems that are direct self-expression, but certainly, with some sense of preference, there is an enterprise which involves speaking through a mask, a persona."—Richard Howard
Trappings, by Richard Howard
“Trappings...reminds us how, for decades, Howard's work has served as a gold standard for those who care about the shape, sound, and wit of a poem.”—Boston Review
Work Life, by Paul Kane
“Work Life, Paul Kane's wonderfully varied and assured third volume, is simultaneously literal and lyrical, imbued with the magic of the matter-of-fact....I can think of no other poet whose work is as polished, pleasurable, and affecting as Paul Kane's.”—John Koethe
Bestselling Jewish Porn Films: New Poems, by Wayne Koestenbaum
“These latest poems reach swoony, unforeseen heights of mental raucousness and worshipful style.”—Dennis Cooper
The Memory Theater Burned, by Damon Krukowski
“Damon regards language as prayer thought. His lines move with a strange speed of wonder yet with an ear towards newfound sound. This is good music.”
—Thurston Moore, Sonic Youth
The Emperors, by Frank Manley
“Frank Manley ranks among the best of our contemporary story-tellers.”—Tim O'Brien
Posthumous Diary / Diario Postumo, by Eugenio Montale
“There have been eloquent versions of Montale in English, but they did not catch his agonistic, complex relation to his predecessors: Foscolo, Leopardi, D'Annunzio. Montale culminates what Dante and Petrarch began, and Galassi subtly conveys this fulfillment of Italian poetic tradition.”—Harold Bloom
I Have Not Been Able To Get Through To Everyone, by Anna Moschovakis
“An auspicious debut... Stripped of artifice and the mere effects of formal pyrotechnics, these poems move by ear and intellect, pushing and pulling at the real with precision and mystery.”—Ammiel Alcalay
