The Burning Point
Poems by Frances Richey

Selected by Stephen Corey as the winner of the Ninth Annual White Pine Press Poetry Prize, this book announces the arrival of a formidable new voice in American letters. Richey amply demonstrates the passion for language and for life that led her to abandon a successful business career to pursue a writer’s life. Meticulously crafted poems reflect Richey’s upbringing in West Virginia, as well as the journey toward Manhattan and a life very different from what might have been expected. At every turn we encounter a woman unafraid to grow into herself and fully engage with the world and generous enough to allow the reader to see that world through her eyes.

Secret Weavers Series - Volume 12
Ximena at the Crossroads
A Novel by Laura Riesco
Translated by Mary G. Berg

Publication: May 1998

“ ...a poignant, thought-provoking novel that offers a refreshingly unjaundiced look at both an individual and a society in transition.”- Américas

Critically acclaimed upon its publication in Spanish (Lima, 1994), this is the enchanting story of a sensitive and chronically-ill child who is just becoming aware of life‘complexities. Forced to piece together snippets of information gleaned from her parents‘remarks and her own observations, Ximena forms a not-quite-coherent picture of things, although she often grasps primal truths that escape more rational minds.

Bonds Between Us: A Celebration of Family

Milton Rogovin

Rogovin, the only living photographer to have his work included in Los Angeles’ new Getty Museum, has traversed the world to capture on film those who are forgotten and overlooked. His photographs portray human dignity, despite abject the poverty and personal strife of his subjects. This book draws from Rogovin’s major series and encompasses five decades of work. Portraits of families from around the world by this acclaimed documentary photographer. Seventy duotones portray people acclaimed documentary photographer Milton Rogovin met as he traveled the world. These are not glitzy celebrities seen in magazines; they are common people, both working-class and poor, for whom family is true wealth. Taken over five decades, Rogovin, rather than taking candid shots or placing his subjects in a formal pose, let them determine how they would be photographed. What was created was an intimate window on their lives that revealed how they wanted to be perceived and recorded for posterity.

Milton Rogovin’s photographs are in many major collections, and his archives were recently acquired by the Library of Congress. A true national treasure, Rogovin, now in his ninth decade, received the W. Eugene Smith Memorial Award in 1983.

A Handbook for Writers

New & Selected Prose Poems by Vern Rutsala
Selection from two previous collections join a large collection of new work which continues Rutsala’s exploration of the prose poem as a literary form. “Sounding at times like plot summaries of stories by John Cheever that Cheever never got around to writing and at other times like witty fables, or meditations on the tricks of language, Rutsala’s wonderful prose paragraphs are at all times rewarding journeys into the inner life, the secret life of three o’clock in the morning, when everyday defeats acquire a weird glamour and heroism.” —Charles Baxter
