Some Wine for Remembrance

Edmund Keeley

In September, 1944, near the village of Hortiati in Macedonian Greece the death of one German soldier in an ambush by a guerrilla unit brought on a Wehrmacht retaliation that resulted in the massacre of one hundred and forty-six villagers, sixty-nine of whom were burned to death in the sealed village bakery, and the total destruction of the village. In this fictionalized account of the atrocity, an American journalist seeks to explore whether a now prominent Austrian statesman played any part in what happened.

Trouble in History

David Keller

“There is trouble in history, but Keller suggests that the core of that trouble is inside ourselves. These are poems of melancholy but they are also poems of great music, and in that music, there is hope. Whitman taught us that the way in and out of grief is song. Keller has taken that lesson to heart and faces reality with an unflinching eye.” -Pablo Medina

Tekonwatonti: Molly Brant : Poems by Maurice Kenny

“book of poems, spoken in many voices, past and present, digs beneath ‘history’ to seek the real story. Perhaps one purges hate only by remembering it. Kenny, indeed, remembers. He remembers the hate mingled with love and lust. In Tekonwatonti, Maurice Kenny has, by remembering hate, accomplished the command given by Twain’s Mysterious Stranger to Theodore Fischer, to ‘Dream other dreams, and better.’ ”-David Landrey

Woman in Her Garden: Selected Poems of Dulce Maria Loynaz

Translated by Judith Kerman

Born in Cuba in 1902, Loynaz had established her reputation as a poet by the time of the Cuban revolution in 1959. Following the revolution, she, like a Cuban Emily Dickinson, retreated to her elegant and beloved home, vowing to never write poetry again, nor to ever leave the island of her birth--although she had the means to do so. She lived out the rest of her life in voluntary seclusion. Loynaz received the Miguel de Cervantes Prize in 1992, the most prestigious award given to a writer in Spanish. She died in 1997. A Woman in Her Garden presents a bilingual selection of work from all phases of her career. Judith Kerman is professor of humanities at Saginaw Valley State College in Michigan. Her books of poetry include Mothering and The Jacoba Poems.
