"Jean Gallagher plunges us into the mystery-shrouded chthonic rites of Demeter and Persephone in a stunning postmodern Homeric hymn, stepping into the company of other reinventors of the ancient myths like H.D., Anne Carson, and Louise Gluck. We're ungrounded by these poems, cast among the mysteries and ecstacies."
—Bruce Beasley
Mark Neely: BEASTS OF THE HILL
"Mark Neely works in small spaces where the slightest moves have seismic consequences. The acoustics are sensational, and the modest and laconic gestures of the poems are also vehicles for the flights and fugues of a 'glorious attack.' Neely has the chops and the voice to sing the blues."
--Bruce Smith
Georg Trakl:
POEMS
"Trakl’s poems have astonished generations of readers with their fierce sadnesses, deceptive complexity, and subtle elegance. Stephen Tapscott’s translations are a marvel, capturing in English the vitality of Trakl’s silences; his lean, succinct poetic lines; his grim wit; and his quest for the ineffable in the face of often harrowing circumstances."
—Kevin Prufer
