Description
Marc Elihu Hofstadter’s Rising at 5:00 A.M. is his fifth book of poems. Neal Oxenhandler says of it, “Poems that read like narrative traverse years of suffering, learning and delight. They open doors to. . .prep school, the mental ward, Russian novels. With unerring rhythm and in countless ways Marc Hofstadter sings his passion to the reader’s heart.” His recent books include Shark’s Tooth and Luck. His essays, translations, and poems have appeared in more than sixty magazines.Tim Kahl’s first full-length book of poems is Possessing Yourself. Joshua McKinney says, “Part photo album, part diagram, part dream, Tim Kahl’s Possessing Yourself hacks a life out of the harsh terrain of experience. . .In vivid narrative and acute lyric, these poems bring us close to the complexities of a whole human being. This is an exceptional book.” Widely published in literary magazines, Tim Kahl is also a translator, from the German of Austrian avant-gardist Friederike Mayrocker, and from the Portuguese of several poets, including the only Portuguese-speaking Nobel Laureate, José Saramago. Tim Kahl is a board member and hosting coordinator of the Sacramento Poetry Center.
