RICHARD LUFTIG - Off The Map $8.00 Dos Madres Press “In Off The Map, Richard Luftig writes a poetry of place: a place of the vanishing family farm and of a small town America struggling against those changes which threaten the very fabric of its life. His poems may in one sitting be ironic, humorous, or like a genial poke in the ribs from a friend who knows you well. One who knows that what really lies beneath those ribs is a broken heart.”
PAULETTA HANSEL - First Person $8.00 Dos Madres Press ““My friends are writing in third person now”, Pauletta Hansel tells us in the title poem of this collection. “They are trying to find the story lines…plump spider of meaning”, while “I am stuck with myself”. I’m here to assure you that being stuck with a Pauletta Hansel poem is like being handed the finest of cobwebs caught intact on a black velvet cushion: all we can do is marvel at the intricacies there, and delight in their presentation.”
DAVID A. PETREMAN - Candlelight in Quintero $8.00 Dos Madres Press “In the Chilean winter of 1984, I made my first of seven trips—so far—to the country I call mysecond home … I embraced a camaraderie unlike anything I had previously experienced. I discov-ered the spirit of Pablo Neruda on his own turf, and, more importantly for me, I was blessed to be-come close to Neruda’s friend, drinking partner, confidant and fellow writer, Francisco Coloane.”
