Synopses & Reviews
Poetry. LIKE HAY brings together the last poems of Quinton Duval, beloved poet and teacher, also the editor of Red Wing Press. "His poems show Quinton as he wasa person of such charm that he could afford to be wry in his ironies.... His poems preserve the small minutes of things, the poetic perishables, and love itself is the chief item with its shine of frequent use illuminating so many of his poems"Dennis Schmitz, from the Foreword.
Synopsis
Poetry. WOODNOTE is Christine Deavel's debut and winner of the 2011 Dorothy Brunsman Poetry Prize. Indiana is the backdrop for poems that range through time and lyrically blend poetry, prose, and fragment to deliver their news: "Knowledge comes as a covering snow; below is the old understanding."
