Nuns Looking Anxious, Listening to Radios

by Helen Humphreys ...

Alcuin Citation in 1991 for excellence in book design in Canada. Nuns Looking Anxious, Listening to Radios is a work in the hazard of retrieval. What sticks in retrospect? Seldom what you would expect, not always the happiness. Otherwise you could train for life, you could actually learn from grandmothers, mothers; poems -- those bodies of lines and spaces -- would not appear unbidden bearing news ... Read more

Never Sent

by Maria Theresa Batuto ...

It was then she said: "Words fed, scathed, brought my soul together; and it would be preposterous if I'd get to fell all these sensations alone, so I am giving you a part of my suffering. A fragment of my universe. A debris of myself. Through these words may you lay down your hand and feel what I have felt. Now send, send them, til' there'll come a day when they'll all run out. ...

Foreign Homes

by Joan Crate ...

Shortlisted for the 2002 Pat Lowther Award Foreign Homes, Joan Crate's second book of poems, explores domesticity and dislocation, where what was thought to be home becomes alien, and where the alien is, piece by piece, made into home -- often in such simple, physical acts as laying a table, or driving a highway, or reassembling a torn photograph. In Crate's careful hands, the knife that cuts the ... Read more

Contradiction and ambiguity are essential to the poetry of Madeline DeFrees. Her work is concentrated, multi-layered, spliced with humor and characterized by a passionate interest in every aspect of words: their literal and figurative meanings and associations; their histories, usage, disappearances, and resurrections. In her recent poems she approaches complex subjects with a new clarity, the ... Read more
