On the Irreversibility of Time Poems by Mame Willey

Love Like This Poems by Margaret Keane - Sister Marie Michael Keane
	These posthumous poems, written both before and after Margaret Keane became Sister Marie Michael, recall Emily Dickinson’s. The poet’s passion and love of the natural world are very like the Belle of Amherst’s; only in her orthodox religious belief does she differ, but even then she has a personal, often unexpected way of expressing Catholic conviction. One is reminded of the 17th Century Metaphysical Poets.

Everything Waits To Be Noticed Poems by Carol A. Armstrong
	In her enormously imaginative poems, Armstrong draws upon the full range of a life deeply and richly lived. She relates the experience of aging with youthful zest, looks the imperfections of life squarely in the face, embracing them, her "irrepressible merriment obliterating darkness." The child in her is given free rein, and also the sage.

Almost Everything Takes Forever Poems by Kirsten Wasson
	At the heart of these poems is yearning, the trope for which is desire for a permanent home. Such desire and an attendant yearning for amorous love are less fulfilled here than is the love between mother and daughter, mother and son. No matter how threatened by time, such love is a permanent “buoy in lapping distance.”

Rescue Mission Poems by Kathleen Dale

Beyond the Margins Poems by Jeff Dutko
	In his first book of poems, Jeff Dutko protests against the stupidity and heartlessness of an inane and indifferent world, often including himself in that world, but he also praises its sudden and shocking beauty.

Small Circles of Time Poems by Lorence Guttermen
	In his first book, subtitled “Poems from a South Dakota Childhood,” Lorence Gutterman writes in a clear-cut style reminiscent of Ted Kooser. The difficulties and joys of childhood, a memorable cast of small town characters, and a love of the natural world—all of this is the stuff of a latter-day Spoon River Anthology in which neither the good nor the bad is short-shrifted. This book reaches deep into the heart.

Captivated Poems by Michael Cervas
	In Captivated Michael Cervas pulls out all the stops. As in his earlier book, we are given splendid poems in which history, science, foreign culture, and sport are metaphors for essential truth, but now there is an even greater admixture of hilarity and irony, increased emotional depth, and a series of love poems to die for, though beneath it all a current of melancholy runs deep.
