Book excerpt: One bright winter afternoon along an empty New Mexico road, Mary Beath discovered these inexplicable words painted on a peeling wooden sign: Refuge of Whirling Light. That moment could stand for what she offers the reader: the pleasures and insights of the unexpected, the sensations of freedom and belonging that have always drawn her to wander the land alone. "Beath's intensely visual story poems are utterly transporting, taking you out to longed-after landscapes and, at the exact same time, into the terrain of our hearts and souls. In the tradition of other keen-eyed, gutsy women who have bound themselves to the Southwest, Beath expresses for all of us--men and women--our desires for love and liberation, and how the land, every day, if we watch closely, offers us metaphors for both."--Susan J. Douglas, author of Where the Girls Are and The Mommy Myth "Powered by a rigorously disciplined and analytical mind, these poems are never content to dwell in mere description but press on into far more complex interrogations of the world's nature, ecology, and systems of knowledge."--Craig Watson, author of True News and Free Will "Although written about familiar places--Chaco Canyon, Abiquiu, the Four Corners--these poems chart a unique geography. This is the terrain of wind, singing frogs, storms, and changing light, of risk and silence and sexual desire, of that which is both wild and holy. I love the 'unbounded, gutsy weather' of these poems."--Anne Batterson, author of The Black Swan

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “For over thirty years now, Leslie Ullman has steadily refined a poetry of the most acute and lyrically precise mindfulness, of what one of her poems calls the ‘greater alertness.’ This method has been forged in part by her ability to render the harsh beauties of the southwestern landscapes that have been her adopted home. More important still, however, is her almost shamanistic willingness to visit those liminal states between waking and dreaming, conventional reality and phantasm—states that sometimes offer menace, sometimes wonderment. This is all to say that Leslie Ullman is a poet of the first order, writing at the height of her very considerable powers.”—David Wojahn, author of World Tree

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spare and incisive, the poems in Losing the Ring in the River deal with three strong women—Clara, Emma, and Liz, women who are tough, often sassy, and have dreams that aren’t quelled by the realities they face. Saiser deftly explores the undercurrents connecting three generations and is at her most powerful when she explores how lives are restricted and sometimes painfully damaged by what people cannot or will not share with one another. Saiser’s poetry is as harsh as it is beautiful; she avoids resolutions and easy endings, focusing instead on the small, hard-won victories that each woman experiences in her life and in her love of those around her.

Book excerpt: This collection brings together for the first time three generations of poets associated with New Mexico, representing a variety of styles and personalities. The first group--beginning with the distinguished East Coast emigre to Santa Fe Witter Bynner and ending with the New Mexico-born MacArthur fellow Jay Wright--came into their maturities by the 1960s. This era's distinguished roster includes such figures as Charles Tomlinson, Robert Creeley, Nathaniel Tarn, and Simon Ortiz. The second group, including nationally known figures like Joy Harjo, Jimmy Santiago Baca, N. Scott Momaday, and Arthur Sze, became famous in the 1970s and 1980s. The third group, dating mostly to the 1990s, includes some writers familiar only to audiences who frequent coffee houses and poetry slams, as well as authors whose names are familiar both nationally and regionally, among them Demetria Martinez and Kate Horsley. V. B. Price is general editor of the Mary Burritt Christiansen Poetry series. All three editors of In Company are poets.

In City of Slow Dissolve, John Chávez takes readers through this journey—the “slow dissolve,” the unpacking and re-packing of self that must take place before healing can begin. Fusing language poetry, lyric, and narrative, Chávez uses syntactical play, rhythm, and repetition of key words and lines to lend immediacy to emotions and actions. He tips words and images on their heads and invites readers to reexamine people and places that are at once familiar and utterly unfamiliar.

Book excerpt: While visiting a reclusive aunt in the mountains of Western Maine, Carol is stranded at night on a desolate road after an automobile accident. When she sets out alone to search for help, she finds herself stalked by vampires and then rescued by an unlikely pair of vampire hunters. Eric and Will are not what they seem at first, though, and Carol is unsure if they are really her heroes or if something more sinister lies behind their actions. Over the next three days, the trio is forced on the run from murderous vampires, and Carol slowly learns the truth about both Will and Eric. Questioning everything she thought she ever knew about the nature of good and evil, Carol must confront difficult questions about the existence of God and where she will spend eternity. When she is captured by the local vampire coven, she faces a life and death choice, and Will and Eric must risk everything in an attempt to save her life.
