Equivocal Blessings |
Equivocal Blessings is a meditation of many voices. Each poem reflects the book’s theme of holding our blessings in both hands, examining events from all sides, opening our eyes to glimmers of light inside a dark room, not flinching from the dark corners of even the happiest times. With mingled light and dark, the poems of Equivocal Blessings point us toward a deep compassion for what it means to be human, as we walk “the fine / knife edge of life.” Before Nov 27, $15.00 (+ $2.00 S/H) Copies personalized and autographed on request

Drew: Poems from Blue Water |
||||
At first glance, DREW is an elegy for an older brother who died too young, but more than that, it is a coming of age tale, a story of summers at a lake house in Alabama, a “novel in verse” that carries the reader through sibling rivalry and the murky, dark waters of sibling death. Through Robert Gray’s honest telling, the reader sees what it feels like to see a brother who was often larger than life become a shadow of his former self. Elegant descriptions, honed to crystal clarity, bring a place and time—and the persons who inhabited both—to vibrant life. $18.95 (+ $3.00 S/H)

Now Available from Negative Capability Press:
Alexis Saunders’ Girl in the Glass is a powerful testament to insistent introspection and the bravery of facing the face in the mirror in preparation for a journey into the unknown. Beginning in the world of dreams, memories, and fears, the book deftly shifts into a reality of wanting to know why, into a puzzle answering itself with the realization that sometimes there are no answers. Saunders tenderly demonstrates how poetry alone can show us how to feel, to think, to know, offering honest reflection that hurts to the point of tears. $16.95 (+ $2.00 S/H)

The Nights, The Days Negative Capability Press is pleased to announce that the winner of their 2008 Poet Laureate Chapbook Competition is Kathleen Thompson of Birmingham, Alabama, for “The Nights, The Days.” The book delves into the mystery of dreams and intertwines the activities of sleep and waking. The intrigue of journals provides the impetus for poems that encompass the wonderful particularities of life: butter nut squash and Christmas cheese cake, intersections of race and class and baptism, politics and people, and even notes on reading such authors as John Irving. Thompson says that “it is only the edge of dreams that I remember,” but she masterfully interrogates the dream and follows in the footsteps of Richard Hugo and W.S. Merwin. This ambitious and unified project on incorporating poetry and journal writing is masterful in its reach and scope, and Negative Capability Press is honored to launch a series of chapbooks with this book. $12.00 (+ $2.00 S/H)
