Imaginarium

Lynn Levin

Poetry
ISBN 9780926147188
$12.95

"Lynn Levin takes us to that paradoxical core where ecstasy and grief are intertwined, where the mystic and cynic can't be separated. Ultimate things are at stake here-the nature of love, justice and spiritual longing. The poems in Imaginarium are exuberant and restrained at once, funny and sad, full of music and thought. They are like magical alarm clocks set to wake up our slumbering spirits."
-Betsy Sholl

Lynn Levin's first collection of poems, A Few Questions About Paradise, was published by Loonfeather Press in 2000. Levin is the translator for The Forest: Poems by Besnik Mustafaj.

Imaginarium was a finalist for the ForeWord 2005 Book of the Year.

Just Once

Jamie Parsley

Poetry
ISBN 0926147242
$12.95

"Just Once is a deeply moving, sacred journey through the layers of an illness so many of us dread—cancer. The poems move deftly and painfully through the recognition, the denial, the numbness, the scraping away, the reorganizing of the flesh one calls one's self, and the ultimate surrender of this self when one realizes to whom and what one's body really belongs. Or, as Jamie Parsley would say it: "the guttymuck of humanity washed away to pure brilliance." -Phyllis Barber, author of How I got Cultured

Stories Migrating Home

Kimberly Blaeser, Editor

Prose
ISBN 0926147080
$16.95

"Imagine a raging and inviting fire surrounded by voices--mouths shouting, lips whispering, tongues chanting--from the sublime to the most coarse, each of them speaking a certain truth from their Anishinaabe hearts and minds. In Stories Migrating Home, Kimberly Blaeser has assembled a dynamic collection. Erdrich, Northrup, Treuer, Henry and many wonderful others are a shining inspiration for all of us. There is no better reason to celebrate than when we get to tell our own stories--and when those who do not know us get to hear the singing."
-Mark Turcotte (Turtle Mountain Chippewa), author of The Feathered heart
