Expansive poetry uses rhyme, meter, and narrative to make a poetic point; unlike much of 20th-century American poetry, which relies heavily on free verse and experimentation for poetic style and impact. Walzer, an associate editor at Cincinnati Poetry Review, believes that Expansive poets and their return to traditional forms have not been given their due in the current literary culture. He attempts to rectify this with a scholarly and detailed discourse on the movement's history and importance as well as some of its poets. Walzer's perspective is favorable but also fair. His critical study is needed if for no other reason than that it offers an informed opinion that opposes prevailing views. It should be noted that this work requires more than a technical appreciation of poetry?it demands an abiding love of its mysticism. --Library Journal.

Expansive Thoughts offers a diverse collection of poetry, prose, and short stories. Featuring the work of three accomplished authors, this anthology examines a plethora of thematic threads. These are just some of the expansive thoughts presented herein: In "Pure Shores," Angel Moon presents a complex dichotomy: a modest secretary and a hedonistic pop star. Little do these two souls know that fate has placed them on convergent paths. In "Silent Pain," Snow Moon paints an emotionally compelling portrait of a young woman tormented by both loneliness and cryptic dreams. As her nocturnal visions gradually unfold, they guide her back to a past love that is not what he appears to be. And, Phillip Collins offers "Of Angelic Blood," the story of an eccentric and insecure college student who falls in love with an angel . . . a literal angel! When he discovers the ethereal nature of his love, what began as a conventional romance becomes a spiritual journey. Eclectic, evocative, and thought-provoking, this collection is an invitation for readers to open their hearts and minds to some truly Expansive Thoughts.

Readers of Holden's splendid new book will be rewarded by his summary of the latest battle: neo-formalists versus post-(post?)-modernists versus creative writing programs versus whatever. The decline of modernism is also examined. Holden rightly chastises those who decry the institutionalization of poetry; details the current state of lyric, narrative, and political poetry; and gives sensitive, intelligent readings of works by new and established poets. An important book by a solid poet and critic. Highly recommended. --Vincent D. Balitas.

In the deeply personal Decade of the Brain, Janine Joseph writes of a newly-naturalized American citizen who suffers from post-concussive memory loss after a major auto accident. The collection is an odyssey of what it means to recover—physically and mentally—in the aftermath of trauma and traumatic brain injury, charting when “before” crosses into “after.” Through connected poems, buckling and expansive syntax, ekphrasis, and conjoined poetic forms, Decade of the Brain remembers and misremembers hospital visits, violence and bodily injury, intimate memories, immigration status, family members, and the self. After the accident I turned out all of the lights in the room while I watched, concussed, from the mirror. I edged like a fever with nothing on the tip of my tongue.

The largest English-language collection to date from Israel’s finest poet Few poets have demonstrated as persuasively as Yehuda Amichai why poetry matters. One of the major poets of the twentieth century, Amichai created remarkably accessible poems, vivid in their evocation of the Israeli landscape and historical predicament, yet universally resonant. His are some of the most moving love poems written in any language in the past two generations—some exuberant, some powerfully erotic, many suffused with sadness over separation that casts its shadow on love. In a country torn by armed conflict, these poems poignantly assert the preciousness of private experience, cherished under the repeated threats of violence and death. Amichai’s poetry has attracted a variety of gifted English translators on both sides of the Atlantic from the 1960s to the present. Assembled by the award-winning Hebrew scholar and translator Robert Alter, The Poetry of Yehuda Amichai is by far the largest selection of the master poet’s work to appear in English, gathering the best of the existing translations as well as offering English versions of many previously untranslated poems. With this collection, Amichai’s vital poetic voice is now available to English readers as it never has been before.

The subject of In the Frame is poetic ekphrasis: poems whose starting point or source of inspiration is a work of visual art. The authors of these sixteen essays, several of whom are poets as well as critics, have a twofold purpose: calling attention to the contribution women poets have made to this important genre of poetic writing and re-thinking ekphrastic poetry's motives and purposes. From Marianne Moore and Elizabeth Bishop to Mary Jo Salter, C. D. Wright, and Susan Wheeler, many of our best women poets have done important work in this genre, and when they describe, confront, or speak for an image that is itself wordless, their motives are not only formal but aesthetic. Their poems also raise important questions, from a perspective that is often, but not always, gender-inflected about how art is made and displayed, experienced and valued, celebrated and commodified. Jane Hedley is K. Laurence Stapleton Professor of English at Bryn Mawr College. Willard Spiegelman is the Hughes Professor of English at Southern Methodist University, and editor-in-chief of the Southwest Review. Nick Halpem is an associate professor in the English Department at North Carolina State University.
