UnderdaysMartin Ott

“In Martin Ott’s new book of poems, Underdays, there’s nature,children, desire, war, and Los Angeles, but everything is shroudedwith the speaker’s experiences as an interrogator in the military—an institution that leaves nothing untouched, even Ott’s hauntingand dark poetry. But more importantly, Ott’s poetry is sonicallybeautiful and written with such a skilled hand—a hand that wasmeant to write the poetry of a gifted and haunted soul.”

The Yearning FeedManuel Paul López

“It is enthralling and frightening to live in this book of poems:wisdom is so often derived from experience, and Manuel PaulLópez ladles out wisdom as if from a bottomless well. . . . Spanning forty-five pages, the poems [in ‘The Desert Series’] are undoubtedly López’s most profound artistic statement on the need for human-to-human relations among all the peoples on thecontinent of the Americas.”

Update On The DescentEllen Hinsey

2007 National Poetry Series Finalist

“[Hinsey] writes breathtakingly beautiful lyrics abut the slightpossibilities of hope for renewal, she composes aphorisms thatcapture the horror and the paradoxical humour of human actions,and she also writes anti-lyrics that one ends by believing any serious poet is compelled to do once she looks out on our currentaffairs and reflects on our history. . . . Update on the Descentmakes demands on the reader—philosophical, personal and political but demands that are important to respond to, given the exquisitely achieved nature of every line in this slim volume of intensely updated / intense, up-to-date poetry.”

—The Warwick Review

“Powerful and original, Update on the Descent is an urgent, probing book.”

St. Patrick’s Dayanother day in Dublin

Thomas McGonigle

“A retrospective portrait of a young Irish American in Dublin, St. Patrick’s Day combines the acute vision of the best fictionalmemoirs from both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. It has also Edward Dahlberg’s acid lucidity and the caustic tone of A Fan’sNotes by Frederick Exley. I make mention of these two uncommonAmerican writers because Thomas McGonigle ranges with the lonerangers, the unique writers.”

Loss and GainThe Story of a Convert

John Henry NewmanEdited and Introduced by Sheridan Gilley

In short, there is a sense in which, in spite of its fictional character, Loss and Gain is a work of controversy, full of echoes ofold battles over whether the Thirty-Nine Articles of Religion andthe Book of Common Prayer should be interpreted in a “Catholic”or a “Protestant” sense. It is a response, like Newman’s otherworks, to a challenge, and so its hero, Charles Reding, as a student in Oxford, passes through the hands of the represen -tatives of a number of Anglican parties and schools of theology before resolving his doubts in Rome.

The Hunt in Arabic PoetryFrom Heroic to Lyric to Metapoetic

Jaroslav Stetkevych

“Jaroslav Stetkevych traces the development of the hunting theme in Arabic poetry from its remote beginnings in pre-IslamicArabia to the present. He shows how certain social and historicalfactors, predominant in each period, helped to shape the poet’s compositions, making them highly original with respect to whatpreceded them. Stetkevych’s book is destined to become a lastingand most welcome contribution to Arabic literary criticism, andone that illuminates a theme central to the study and appreciationof Arabic poetry.”

Beyond Reformation?An Essay on William Langland’s Piers Plowman and the End ofConstantinian Christianity

David Aers

“Beyond Reformation? is a remarkable book by a master who has creatively invented a form to match and elucidate its complexand compelling object of attention. The book is designed for all readers interested in late medieval English and early modern literary and theological culture. Many scholars will read it, especially scholars of Middle English literature. It is less an introduction than a re-introduction of an extraordinary and veryreadable kind. I expect it to be received with lively acclaim withinthat large field.”

“Our knowledge of how gender functions on many levels duringthe Renaissance has been greatly enhanced by Eisenbichler’swork. The inclusion of sonnets and poems composed by severalother Sienese women, and their excellent translations, raisesmany more questions than it answers on the history of gender inItaly—which is Eisenbichler’s goal.

Transcendent LoveDostoevsky and the Search for a Global Ethic

Leonard G. Friesen

“Friesen . . . knows his Dostoevsky. Readers and critics have long been enthralled by the 19th-century Russian novelist’s impassioned exploration of existential questions about God, thelimits of freedom and reason, and the nature of evil. Friesen argues that Dostoevsky develops an ethic that is both distinctlyRussian and Christian, seen in his nonfiction but more powerfullyand imaginatively put forth in his novels.”

OutsidersThe Humanity and Inhumanity of Giants in Medieval FrenchProse Romance

Sylvia HuotThe Conway Lectures in Medieval Studies

“Giants emerge from Sylvia Huot’s scintillating new book as a‘constitutive outside’ that is central to medieval European ideas of the self and of civilisation. Their presence enables Arthurian romance in particular implicitly to define norms for gender, race,ethics, and the human. Not least of this book’s merits is an ongoing and illuminating meditation on parallels between medieval ideologies of exclusion and modern discourses on raceor indeed terrorism.”

A French Slave in Nazi GermanyA Testimony

Elie Poulard Translated and Edited by Jean V. Poulard

“The book vividly evokes the life of a young French man forciblysent to work in Germany during WWII. Once the Vichy Governmentof France passed the Obligatory Work Law in 1943, more thanhalf a million young French men were deported to Germany wherethey worked in the harshest conditions to replace the Germanmen sent to fight in the war. This testimony is particularly significant today, at a time when all aspects of WWII are closelyexamined. The chapters about the effects of the Allied bombing inthe western part of Germany are especially poignant as they allowthe reader to witness the gradual collapse and final capitulation ofthe Nazi regime.”

Four Scraps of BreadMagda Hollander-LafonTranslated by Anthony T. Fuller

“Magda Hollander-Lafon’s experience of the Holocaust may parallel that of the Romanian-born Elie Wiesel, but her approachis even more abstracted and poetic. Instantly recognizable detailsof dehumanization, complicity and endurance are all present, butwith the goal of developing a spiritual and therapeutic vision ofsurvival beyond the amassing of evidence. The enormous recentgrowth in publication of both saved first-hand accounts and post-memory analyses forms an additional appreciative context for Hollander-Laffon’s singular work, not least as it is written by awoman, when most original accounts were produced by men.”
