Poetry. ONE CLASS collects Norman MacAfee's major poems written between 1965 and 2008. MacAfee is a translator of Pier Paolo Pasolini's poems, and Victor Hugo's Les Miserables. These are ecstatic, serious and often funny poems about war and peace, sexual liberation, utopias and murderous class divisions--national collapse, Orwellian maladies, surreal comic tics that are screenplay, opera and celebration. This volume features several epic rants that approach libretto, including the touching "I Am Astro Place" which chronicles New York culture and concerns, 1984-2001. Bob Holman calls ONE CLASS "real, unwavering, it's art in the classical sense that gets dirty as life is."

A Call to Fidelity seeks to thoughtfully examine and critically evaluate the contributions that Charles E. Curran has made to the field of Catholic moral theology over the past forty years. It also seeks to assess the development of specific topics in contemporary moral theology to which Curran has made his unique mark, particularly in fundamental ethics, sexual and medical ethics, social and political ethics, and topics related to dialogue with other traditions and approaches to Catholic ethics. Reviewing the many years of his influential writings, thought, and scholarship, fourteen distinguished scholars examine his contributions and the current state of the topics under discussion-which are as far ranging as academic freedom, birth control, gay and lesbian relationships, and feminism. Each contributor also provides a critical evaluation of Curran's work and outlines how these areas will hold or undergo transformation as the church looks toward its relationship with society and culture in the coming decades.
