Kevin Gallagher's Diving at the Moon is a walk through China's history, landscape, and culture as seen through the eyes of an expat. Using the traditional Chinese poetic form of the lu-shi, the poems tell a story of the evolution of a personal relationship to a place and a culture as they move between Beijing and Boston, China and the States, English and Chinese. Gallagher's finely-crafted poems, and their facing translations by Wang Ping, connect the disparate in alternating tones of wistfulness and playfulness with a disarming wonder, open-heartedness, and even, love.

In And Yet it Moves, the poet is an archeologist of mourning rediscovering that assaults on science and reason are not new phenomenon.

These radio poems are ‘talking sonnets’ in the American grain. While they are ‘sonnets’ that echo the Italian and to a lesser extent the English versions of the form, they are more analogous to the ‘talking blues’ of John Lee Hooker, the Reverend Gary Davis, Woody Guthrie, and Bob Dylan….

“With razor-sharp wit and élan, Joseph DeRoche's poems remind us that revelation is never easy-that it often comes at great cost as we "loat to Paradise / In a slaughter / Of small things."

Loom is concerned with the history of our divided country, a violent division preceding civil war and by now embedded in our cultural landscape. The non-sentimental poems are cool, clear and literal. They are narrated by white Americans who position themselves in relation to “slave power” and cotton as “lords of the loom” and “lords of the lash”….
