  • Keep the Feast
    Stephen Cushman
    Stephen Cushman’s Keep the Feast sings in the tradition of the psalmists and devotional poets, offering an intimate, ecstatic doxology, both exultant and indicting, spiritual and secular.

  • Fictions of Form in American Poetry
    Stephen Cushman
    In the 1830s Alexis de Tocqueville prophesied that American writers would slight, even despise, form--that they would favor the sensational over rational order.
