On the afternoon of June 23, 2017, the attendees of the twenty-seventh biannual Ezra Pound International Conference, held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA, gathered to listen to poets present original work influenced by the life and work of Ezra Pound. With a title playing on the small book of poems Pound produced for fellow poet Hilda Doolittle (H.D.) while the two were still young, this volume offers a selection of poems from that reading, together with images evoking other conference events and the excursions to sites important to Pound, H.D., Marianne Moore, and William Carlos Williams—the “Philadelphia Geniuses” of the conference’s theme. The poems and images herein help to keep the reading and the conference alive, present, and immediate for our readers. The collection includes poems by Charles Bernstein, Eloisa Bressan, Andrei Bronnikov, David Cappella, Silvia Falsaperla, J. Rhett Forman, John Gery, Jeff Grieneisen, Thomas Heffernan, Rodolfo Brandão de Proença Jaruga, Justin Kishbaugh, Mary Maxwell, Biljana D. Obradović, Matthew Porto, Mary de Rachewiltz, Patrizia de Rachewiltz, Michele Reese, and Ron Smith.

The magic and wonder of winter’s first snowfall is perfectly captured in Ezra Jack Keat’s Caldecott Medal-winning picture book. Young readers can enjoy this celebrated classic as a full-sized board book, perfect for read-alouds of all kinds and a great gift for the holiday season. In 1962, a little boy named Peter put on his snowsuit and stepped out of his house and into the hearts of millions of readers. Universal in its appeal, this story beautifully depicts a child's wonder at a new world, and the hope of capturing and keeping that wonder forever. This big, sturdy edition will bring even more young readers to the story of Peter and his adventures in the snow. Ezra Jack Keats was also the creator of such classics as Goggles, A Letter to Amy, Pet Show!, Peter’s Chair, and A Whistle for Willie. (This book is also available in Spanish, as Un dia de nieve.) Praise for The Snowy Day: “Keats made Peter’s world so inviting that it beckons us. Perhaps the busyness of daily life in the 21st century makes us appreciate Peter even more—a kid who has the luxury of a whole day to just be outside, surrounded by snow that’s begging to be enjoyed.” —The Atlantic "Ezra Jack Keats's classic The Snowy Day, winner of the 1963 Caldecott Medal, pays homage to the wonder and pure pleasure a child experiences when the world is blanketed in snow."—Publisher's Weekly

A heartwarming, intimate, and amusing memoir of a father’s experience raising his autistic son. When Tom Fields-Meyer’s son Ezra was three and showing early signs of autism, a therapist suggested that the father needed to grieve. “For what?” Tom asked. The answer: “For the child he didn't turn out to be.” That moment helped strengthen the author’s resolve to do just the opposite: to love the child Ezra was, a quirky boy with a fascinating and complex mind. Full of tender moments and unexpected humor, Following Ezra is the story of a father and son on a ten-year journey from Ezra’s diagnosis to the dawn of his adolescence. It celebrates his growth from a toddler to an extraordinary young man, connected in his own remarkable ways to the world around him. And through Ezra’s eyes, Tom—and, in turn, the reader—gains a new and beautiful understanding of the world.
