& Grace
& Grace is a 218-page collection of poems written and submitted by a diverse group of poets during the 2015 Lexington Poetry Month, in which participants were challenged to write at least one poem a day. "The voices in & Grace are voices of seekers. Sometimes these seekers find answers, other times they stumble upon more questions. Unquestionably, though, these poets find poems—urgent, wise, alive with spirit. And grace. This is my favorite Lexington Poetry Anthology so far."—Katerina Stoykova-Klemer
Circe's Lament: Anthology of Wild Women Poetry
"Circe's Lament collects work by some of the best poets writing today—from Ellen Bass to Frank X Walker—in celebration of the wild feminine: the fierce, the furious, the bruised and battered, the hilarious, the mythical, the stereotypical, the fairytale turned inside out. Here you'll find Miss America and Janis Joplin, Barbie and Medusa, along with—in Nickole Brown's stunning and tender homage—a grandmother who can cuss up a storm and uses 'fucker' as a term of endearment. The women in these poems behave in the most unladylike ways—swearing, sexing, drinking, dancing, hitting back, running away, bleeding, broke and broken. But just when you might start to think this celebration of 'the bad girl' is veering toward romanticizing her, comes a poem like 'The Girl,' by Linda Casebeer—as heart-breaking and frank and true a poem about being young and female and vulnerable and tough as I've ever read anywhere. Read it and weep. And be grateful for the work these editors have done to bring these voices to us."—Cecilia Woloch
Her Limestone Bones

The Season of Delicate Hunger: Anthology of Contemporary Bulgarian Poetry
"The Season of Delicate Hunger brings us more than thirty Bulgarian poets whom the translators and editor successfully make us feel we need to listen to. The anthology is a valuable introduction to a wide variety of voices most of us have never heard before. The book comes as a gift both to international understanding and to American literature."—J. Kates, Editor of In The Grip of Strange Thoughts: Russian Poetry in a New Era
Bigger Than They Appear: Anthology of Very Short Poems
"There are sharp flashes of light, moments when the miraculous world reveals itself to us swiftly, fully. And, because the mind is also a miracle, the lucky words sometimes arrive to capture that revelation and through it witness what it means to be alive. That is the gift of this gorgeous collection."- Mary Ann Taylor-Hall, Author of At The Breakers: A Novel
