Views of Lansdowne provides a fun and nostalgic trip back in time through the most extensive collection of historic Lansdowne photographs ever assembled. Growing from a nineteenth-century village just west of Philadelphia, Lansdowne has served as the home of many well-known and respected educators, writers, athletes, architects, scientists, and businesspeople. Through over 200 vintage images, readers are invited to meet famous residents including: Eddie Collins, Hall of Fame second baseman for the Philadelphia Athletics Baseball Club; Seymour Eaton, author of The Roosevelt Bears; Edwin T. Darby, a founder of the School of Dentistry at the University of Pennsylvania; and Thomas Scott, president of the Pennsylvania Railroad, one of the most powerful corporations of the nineteenth century.The beautiful photographs of George Walton and Stephen P. Levis reveal Lansdowne during its early development.

Using repetition and masterful rearrangement, Schultz reinvigorates the familiar and transforms lines from an array of popular Irish poets. The resulting poems subvert our expectations and celebrate creativity through experimentation. This captivating collection rewards the reader with its inventiveness and demands to be revisited often, for as in his poem "Paradelle for Eamon Grennan", Schultz succeeds in reminding us that 'looking at it matters'." - Michelle Granville, mixed-media artist IG: @Beleafmoon In Matt Schultz's handling, the parodic, hucksterish form of the paradelle assumes a new formal and emotional camouflage. In bringing together Irish poets living and lost, Schultz compels their lines into unexpected geometries. He achieves strange and compelling resonances within each poem; he match-makes offbeat, often poignant relationships among the poets. From rough days to rough fields, from Fergus to Sweeney to Ballycastle ballerinas, these poems offer a tilted literary history in which the comforts of familiar lines are taken away by richly alien collisions. - Mary O'Donoghue, author of Among These Winters
