A selection from fifty years of Merrill Gilfillan's lyrical and vivid poetryMerrill Gilfillan's Three Roans in the Shallows, One of Them Blue: Selected Poems draws from more than a dozen volumes since his first book appeared in 1970, concluding with three short "poetic diaries" in the tradition of Japanese haibun. Wistful, joyful, resonant with "Season through place, / Place in season, in place," the hundred various poems-landscapes, epistles, "tunes meant for whistling"-are propelled throughout by affinity, reflection, and requital. />/>I think of you/>as the tarts come out />of the oven-Ohio butternuts />from Ohio butternut />trees-and last summer's />ash seeds rattle />in the wind beyond/>the window: small />bat-of-the-eye pleasures />of winter. Deep. Distilled.

In her fifth collection of poems, Ellen Doré Watson lends her supple voice to a multiplicity of characters, each with his or her own particular dilemma, distraction, or disarray: Junie biking home to find a new mom, Edur wondering whether he's anyone's father, a pregnant teen starving herself to lose the fetus, or the widower Lew buoyed by a vision of his wife after her death. With a novelist's finesse and a poet's details, Watson creates lives that resonate with poignancy and urgency. In Dogged Hearts Ellen Doré Watson demonstrates a capacious talent for invention and empathy and, with her incomparable linguistic brio, gives us an unforgettable look at how loss and disconnection can usher in chance-to-change reverie and unexpected veerings towards life.

One of America's most acclaimed younger poets entwines original and scavenged texts, lyric fragment and lyric song, to make a new form-this book-from wild metaphor. A passerine is a bird of the taxonomic order Passeriformes, often called "songbirds" or "perching birds." The passerines are among the most diverse of terrestrial vertebrates, and in his book-length canticle-both aria and elegy-the poet sings like a modern-day St. Francis to the wonder of creation in its splendor and peril.

Grief faces all of us in the end. This collection explores how poets have expressed and attempted to come to some kind of understanding of this universal but often under-discussed emotion.   M.

To those of us walking through grief and loss, these poems offer a guiding hand.

Ashore sees mystery and spirituality in common nature, in the last of winter leaves and the green mountains that are covered by traffic. It sees violence, also, which everyone shares in a floating island of plastic or an albatross' exploded stomach.

Her poems ask us to care for what is small and specific in our own places, and they restore a kind of faith in these. To Nakashani, "it is enough, this tiny orbit, the spider's quivering step."
