Lynx House Press From the Annals of Krakow
Book SynopsisBorn of hours spent watching and listening to the testimonies of Polish Holocaust survivors and those who came to their aid, these poems by noted Polish poet Piotr Florczyk document the unspeakable evil unleashed by the Nazis in Poland, while also interrogating the very concept of memory literature. With fewer and fewer Holocaust survivors living among us each year, From the Annals of Krakow retells their stories of persecution, perseverance, and luck so they will continue to be heard and will keep alive the memory of survivors' suffering and bravery.

Lynx House Press The Many Beds of Martha Washington
Book SynopsisVan Winckel’s poems hover at the intersections of folktale and history, of past life regressions and future life visions, in a voice that is intimate, eerie, wry, and always strangely like a voice that has been going on in our heads without our noticing. The chill and pleasure it renders is a little like what one feels upon first reading Proust.

Washington State University Press Everybody
Book SynopsisFor five decades Albert Goldbarth has been astonishing readers with the erudition, wit, lyric invention, wisdom, and depthless humanity of his prolific writing. He mixes complex ideas, wildly dissimilar objects and facts, detailed descriptions, striking lyricism, puns, coinages, and jargons.Trade Review"Goldbarth's prodigious output is matched only by his erudition. He seems to have read and ingested centuries of history, biology, and religion. At home in a dozen different masks, he is witty, irreverent, and full of forgiveness for our human condition."--Maxine Kumin "Albert Goldbarth is a truly remarkable phenomenon. He straddles the ages, one foot on the big bang and the other on last Saturday, a quark, a Rembrandt, a wooly mammoth, and a zillion sweet details curatorially, passionately gathered and balanced on the tip of his astonishing tongue."--Donald Finkel
