“Rumors of Wisdom impressed me throughout with poems about very specific things, or memories, or details; specifics that often metaphorically stand for bigger things. The details are interesting and fresh, as in ‘Barometer.’ The poet uses a good deal of artistic language and viewpoint, as if seeing the world through a painter’s eyes. From time to time the odd technical term may pose a challenge, but it also serves as an opportunity for readers to broaden their vocabulary. This collection stands out for its breadth of scope.”—Timons Esaias, Louis Award Judge, author of Why Elephants No Longer Communicate in Greek “One finds in this collection poems of the rare sort that come quietly, like a cat prowling about in the midnight hour, looking hard into the darkness for what stirs. Luminous, lyric, sparkling with wit and the kind of subtle wisdom that comes from a long, slow, generous looking at life… these poems are simply irresistible in their appeal.”—Mark S. Burrows, Ph.D., Poetry Editor of Spiritus, author of Meister Eckhart’s Book of the Heart: Meditations for the Restless Soul, with Jon M. Sweeney  “Remorse and redemption permeate these poems the way ‘a mist touches everything.’ Spaces are spare, remote, yet welcome with ‘a wink of paradise.’ What surrounds us is not separable from our being, with ‘each of us taking on something of the other.’”—Lana Hechtman Ayers, Managing Editor of Concrete Wolf Press, author of Red Riding Hood’s Real Life  3

  • Polishing the Silver
    Jennifer Chrystie
    ‘There’s a touch of both Dickinson and Larkin in Jennifer Chrystie’s mature exhumation of the tales and tropes of family. Figures who could so easily flit like phantoms in her well honed poetry are palpably enjoying an after-life in the poet’s ability to redeem through deep understanding. The collection arcs from, at one extreme, the parsimonies of the household, to the transce...

  • 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....

    Jerome Gagnon
    In Refuge for Cranes, Jerome Gagnon writes at the intersection of inner and outer landscapes, finding refuge in nature, art, and awareness itself. These are poems of wonder and alarm, in awe of the natural world yet full of concern for the harm we do to it, and to ourselves.

  • Spell of the Ordinary
    Jerome Gagnon
    The poems in Spell of the Ordinary reflect the perennial in the everyday, suggesting that deep attention to the moment invites renewal, even in the midst of loss. “There must be hundreds of kinds of happiness,” the poet notes in First Frost, “and most of us know so few of them. Shouldn’t we at least know their names? Or if not that, act as if we do, as if we’ve known them all o...
