Erin Francisco's poetry wants us to consider where we have been, where we are going, and how the choices we make influence the world around us. Whether she takes us through the American landscape or through the letters of a deported Nazi guard, she asks that we understand "how fate takes direction / like people starved hollow / sitting before a TV fire."

Laurie E. White's Preparation Toward Meal takes the reader through a fragmented love story of landscape, longing, and joy. These are dizzying poems. They are lovely both on the page and read out loud.

Heather Bartlett's poetry shows us despair, desperation, abuse, and tells us that, "You will not be saved." But that is exactly what her poetry does--saves. The poems ask us to empathize with Andrea Yates, a poet riding a lonely train to Albany, a hospice nurse. A poet of witness, Bartlett asks us to "Look," and we cannot help but listen.

Check out a review of the chapbook on Melusine.

Heather also completed an interview about the book with The Nervous Breakdown and for another for Isaiah Vianese's blog.
