In The Power of the Telling, his shining collection, David Hathwell gathers his previously published poems together with new poems, enhancing the luster of the whole with illuminating commentaries.Hathwell’s finely crafted poems have won wide acclaim. Richard Wilbur, twice winner of the Pulitzer Prize, praised the leading poem in Muses as “concretely evocative, with a clear flow of argument, and a seriousness that allows itself to be locally playful.” California poet laureate Dana Gioia commended Hathwell for “writing with quiet intensity about significant things.” These qualities distinguish Hathwell’s poems overall. Hathwell has published two prior collections, Muses and Between Dog and WolfPraise for MusesThe poems in Muses are taut, measured, and shapely, like svelte dancers. —James Fowler, editor of SlantMuses is held together by music, thematically and formally. Hathwell’s incremental modulations allow him to recreate subtle states of perception and mood with a musical precision. —Rebecca Starks, author of Time Is Always NowI hugely enjoyed Muses. —Edmund White, author of The Unpunished VicePraise for Between Dog and WolfExploring transitions and mortality, Hathwell deftly maneuvers past “moans and mewlings” to reveal truths about the human experience. —Genanne Walsh, author of TwisterAn absolute delight to read. —Rob Griffith, author of The Devil in the MilkSharp and unsettling, the poems offer a sense of something just not right. An important book for times like these. —Erica Dawson, author of The Small Blades Hurt 3

  • One Kiss
    Edward V Bonner
    The very title of Edward V. Bonner's first volume of poetry, One Kiss (Ingram, 2015), suggests some ways in which the poems inside balance the universal with the particular. Most of the poems examine the themes of beauty and risk, pleasure and danger, in the context of one of three kinds of relationships: to romantic partners, to the spiritual world, and to the world of nature....
