Description
A memorial for writer, poet and Menlo College professor Al Jacobs, who died Feb. 2008.Marcia Wolf "The Grandmother Poems"
Marcia Katz Wolf's The Grandmother Poems operates at the fulcrum of her family's history. Some of the poems concern her parents after World War II; others embody Wolf's own vivid womanhood; still others, her grandchildren's first leaps, The final poem portrays Wolf and her husband singing as they push their grandson Yonatan on a swing. Like the grandmother herself, this collection has a long reach, and a warm, strong grasp.
Lauren Rusk "Pictures in the Firestorm"
Rusk's poems range from evocative glimpses of the momentary to complex meditations on art and its relationship to the world.
"Pictures in the Firestorm is wide in scope, luminous in detail, and elegant in craft. Lauren Rusk's mastery of nuance and tone allows her to write with equal grace about 1960s San Francisco and about the enduring challenge and grief of a Holocaust museum. Her poems range from evocative glimpses of the momentary to complex meditations on art and its relationship to the world... --Betsy Sholl, Poet Laureate of Maine.
