Poems Then and Now offers a wide-ranging anthology of classic and modern poems, some of them familiar but many of which will no doubt be new discoveries. It is a stimulating collection and one with a difference. The poems are presented in pairs, within certain themes so that the reader can compare classical and twentieth-century treatments of similar subjects. Stunning black and white photographs enhance each of the poems.

"David Orr is no starry-eyed cheerleader for contemporary poetry; Orr’s a critic, and a good one. . . . Beautiful & Pointless is a clear-eyed, opinionated, and idiosyncratic guide to a vibrant but endangered art form, essential reading for anyone who loves poetry, and also for those of us who mostly just admire it from afar." —Tom Perrotta Award-winning New York Times Book Review poetry columnist David Orr delivers an engaging, amusing, and stimulating tour through the world of poetry. With echoes of Francine Prose’s Reading Like a Writer, Orr’s Beautiful & Pointless offers a smart and funny approach to appreciating an art form that many find difficult to embrace.

James Cummins’s first book of poems, The Whole Truth, became known throughout much of the poetry world as the “Perry Mason sestinas.” His second book, Portrait in a Spoon, was chosen by Richard Howard for the James Dickey Prize Contemporary Poetry Series. His latest and most accomplished work is collected in Then and Now, which reflects the same inventiveness and wit evident in his earlier books, with a deepening of tone and spirit. The result is a collection of poems filled with feeling and with Cummins’s signature anguished humor. If the language of poetry is a way into a hall of mirrors of the self, it can be a way out, too. The voice that emerges in Then and Now is sane, imaginative, bemused, and sly, not only taking responsibility for the character of the writer put fully on display, but ironically and affectionately exploring how this process occurs. Doing Lunch You have lunch with a friend. You put on a false face for him, because he is your friend. You want to spare him your maunderings, your lies and malfeasance. But this is just what your friend desires, because he is your friend. He wants your face to fall open in front of him and twitch like a rabbit hit on the fly. He says he wants the latest word from the border region between narcissism and an inner life. And laughs. Shamelessly, you tell him everything, because he is your friend.

Having had a number of careers, Lorenzo (Lawrence) Schechterman says he is not done yet. The singular thing that’s followed him since his teen years has been his zest for writing poems. Among his many other books is the tongue-in-cheek approach he took in his cookbook In the Mood with Food: A Bachelor’s Guide to Wooing Her with Food. The author explains what motivates and inspires him to write poetry: “There have been, and more likely than not, will be moments where my head becomes flooded with a reaction to all that is around me and that which is within me. I just try to give vent to those senses when I come to understand them.” His interests in life have no bounds: from writing professional articles about law, to his poetry and freelance travel writing/photography. A friend once called him “a man for all seasons,” but in typical fashion, he blushed and thought that was an overstatement. Schechterman‘s poems have previously been published in New Dimensions: An Anthology of American Poetry, Idlewild Publishing Co. (1967); The National Library of Poetry publications: Surrounded by Dreams (1998); Touched by Grace (1999); The Harmony of Silence (2000); Forever Spoken (2007); The International Who’s Who in Poetry (2007); Collected Whispers (2008); and The Best Poems and Poets of 2007 (2008). He is a member of The Professional Writers Alliance and The American Writers & Artists, Inc., and has been included in Who’s Who in America and Who’s Who in the World.

The Decent Of Alette is a rich odyssey of transformation in the tradition of The Inferno. Alice Notley presents a feminist epic: a bold journey into the deeper realms. Alette, the narrator, finds herself underground, deep beneath the city, where spirits and people ride endlessly on subways, not allowed to live in the world above. Traveling deeper and deeper, she is on a journey of continual transformation, encountering a series of figures and undergoing fragmentations and metamorphoses as she seeks to confront the Tyrant and heal the world. Using a new measure, with rhythmic units indicated by quotations marks, Notley has created a "spoken" text, a rich and mesmerizing work of imagination, mystery, and power.
