Paperback. Zustand: Good. A thrillingly original exploration of a life lived under poetry's uniquely seductive spell "Oh! there are spirits of the air," wrote Percy Bysshe Shelley. In this stunningly original book, Maureen N. McLane channels the spirits and voices that make up the music in one poet's mind. Weaving criticism and memoir, My Poets explores a life reading and a life read. McLane invokes not necessarily the best poets, nor the most important poets (whoever these might be), but those writers who, in possessing her, made her. "I am marking here what most marked me," she writes. Ranging from Chaucer to H.D. to William Carlos Williams to Louise Glück to Shelley (among others), McLane tracks the "growth of a poet's mind," as Wordsworth put it in The Prelude. In poetical prose both probing and incantatory, McLane has written a radical book of experimental criticism. Susan Sontag called for an "erotics of interpretation": this is it. Part Bildung, part dithyramb, part exegesis, My Poets extends an implicit invitation to you, dear reader, to consider who your "my poets," or "my novelists," or "my filmmakers," or "my pop stars," might be.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. National Book Award finalist A vital, exhilarating new collection of poems from the National Book Critics Circle nominee From lichens to malls to merchant republics, it's "another day in this here cosmos," in Maureen N. McLane's stunning third poetry collection, This Blue. Here are songs for and of a new century, poems both archaic and wholly now. In the middle of life, stationed in our common "Terran Life," the poet conjures urban pigeons, Adirondack mountains, Genoa, Andalucía, Belfast, Parma; here is a world sounded out, broken, possibly shareable, newly named: "Take it up Old Adam- / everyday the world exists / to be named." This Blue is a searching and a singing-intricate, sexy, smart. …

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Poetry. LGBTQIA Studies. Women's Studies. Tender, elegiac, searing--Maureen Seaton's new collection is all of these and more. With virtuosic skill and precision, she casts line after quicksilver line to create a moving, prismatic portrait of a suicide. Along the way, we get dazzling meditations on rivers, fly fishing, wilderness, sex, violence, and death. Yet despite the dark subject matter, FISHER, to quote one of its poems, is a book 'whose pages are aflame with life.'--Ellen Bass 'In every myth, there is a secret, ' Maureen Seaton writes, leaning close to our ear, almost whispering, almost our co-conspirator in a plot to re-imagine the world. Here is FISHER, the kind of book that doesn't try to detect or dispel the secret as much as revel in it. FISHER is full of poems that reject history's simple resolution and turn to the complex imagination that operates 'like an aura, / keeping me safer than I ever thought I had the right to be.' At the heart of FISHER is an elegy for a beloved friend and one-time lover who commits suicide. Seaton creates a mythic space in these poems, where 'the further you get from real, the more I like you.' Perhaps because death de-arranges us, the Quixotic magnetizes the speaker: 'This is where tumult, this is where prophecy. / This is where the poem repents of language.the way a life lived calls on us to praise it.' Instead of the resolution, we have the beauty of inquiry, which is itself the best kind of praise. In FISHER, Seaton wraps us in the aura of the unresolved, which is to say, the pulsing heartbeat of the imagination, where 'Nothing stays killed.'. And yes, this is a dark book. And yes, it has the power to save.--James Allen Hall Maureen Seaton recasts the line again and again into her memories of a togetherness that was fearless and free, 'gauntly sexual beside the Hudson.' Each time, lots of tug in that hard-running river. The waters of FISHER are Heraclitean, and keep turning with each rediscovery: now the realm may be careless youth, apparently suspended; now, sleep where everything is reconstituted, including grief; now, a blurry image of present survival, from 'the cool dim in the decade of your suicide.' Strong, swift, glinting, deep, this book delivers the mystery in its elegy, then keeps coursing.--Brian Blanchfield.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. The second volume in>Maureen Howard's planned quartet of fictions based on the seasons reaffirms her reputation as one of America's most highly regarded authors. In the title piece, Howard presents an ambitious exploration of the life and work of John James Audubon, revealing how his dedication to his masterpiece, The Birds of America, devoured everyone around him, including his wife, Lucy. In Children with Matches, a feminist historian discovers that the hard lessons of the past may be a route to responsibility in the present. The Magdalene is a tale of willful innocence and loss of faith about a woman who comes to New York in the 1930s to be the nanny of a wealthy family. Thoughtful, intricate, and insightful, Howard's stories are compelling achievements. …
