"With this fascinating synthesis of word and image, internationally renowned photographer B.A. Van Sise offers a visually stimulating anthology that will enchant lovers of both poetry and photography. At times whimsical, surreal, challenging, enigmatic, joyful and sobering, these portraits--running adjacent to poems by each of their subjects--highlight some of the most influential poets of our time and celebrate creativity as only these poets in collaboration with Van Sise could convey. Children of Grass is also a timely homage to Walt Whitman--of whom Van Sise is a relative--and his masterpiece, "Leaves of Grass," during this, the 200th anniversary of his birth. Children of Grass, will, as a contemporary homage to Whitman, stand as a lasting tribute to the vitality and creativity that flourishes in our country."--Publisher's website.

Isaac Babel, Dmitry Shostakovich, and Anna Akhmatova star in this series of portraits of some of the greatest writers, artists, and composers of the twentieth century. "We stopped and Shklovsky told me / quietly, but clearly, / 'Remember, we are on our way out. / On our way out.' And I recalled / ... the wall of books, / all written by a man / who lived / in times that were hard to bear." Lev Ozerov’s Portraits Without Frames offers fifty shrewd and moving glimpses into the lives of Soviet writers, composers, and artists caught between the demands of art and politics. Some of the subjects—like Anna Akhmatova, Isaac Babel, Andrey Platonov, and Dmitry Shostakovich—are well-known, others less so. All are evoked with great subtlety and vividness, as is the fraught and dangerous time in which they lived. Composed in free verse of deceptively artless simplicity, Ozerov’s portraits are like nothing else in Russian poetry.

Poetry. Art. Photography. Edited by Larry Fagin, with photography by John Sarsgard. Why portraits of poets? Of all writers, poets are most engaged with the limits and possibilities of language what Nathaniel Mackey has termed "the rickety, imperfect fit between word and world." Like poetry coaxing the word from the world, portraiture is a particularly intimate genre, a dynamic collaboration between subject and artist, a creative tension out of which the resulting image informs our impression of the subject. Photographer John Sarsgard here documents a segment of the American poetry scene, including writers both well-known and emerging. His collaborator Larry Fagin brings an encyclopedic knowledge of poetry to the process of presenting exemplary work by each of the subjects. The result is a book that is both a celebration of the art of photographic portraiture, and an anthology of some of the finest poets at work today. 83 poets / portraits: Kostas Anagnopoulos, Bruce Andrews, Rae Armantrout, Alan Bernheimer, Bill Berkson, Charles Bernstein, Anselm Berrigan, Edmund Berrigan, Michael Brownstein, Reed Bye, Miles Champion, Tom Clark, Jack Collom, Clark Coolidge, Jayne Cortez, Jean Day, Diane di Prima, Casey Drouin, Marcella Durand, Kenward Elmslie, Robert Elstein, Larry Fagin, Mary Ferrari, Michael Friedman, Dick Gallup, Merrill Gilfillan, Michael Gizzi, John Godfrey, Sylvia Mae Gorelick, Ted Greenwald, Carla Harryman, David Henderson, Eileen Hennessy, Anselm Hollo, Erica Hunt, Omar Husain, Lisa Jarnot, Allan Kaplan, Simone Kearney, Jennifer Kietzman, Florence Kindel, Tuli Kupferberg, Joanne Kyger, Steve Malmude, Bernadette Mayer, Elizabeth McDaniel, Gillian McCain, Michael McClure, Duncan McNaughton, David Meltzer, Jennifer Moxley, Harryette Mullen, Susan Noel, Charles North, Alice Notley, Ryan Nowlin, Peter Orlovsky, Ron Padgett, Cassandra Pantuso, Bob Perelman, Annalisa Pesek, Simon Pettet, Michael Roberts, Elizabeth Robinson, Kit Robinson, Emma Rossi, Richard Roundy, Ed Sanders, David Shapiro, Ron Silliman, Aaron Simon, Ann Stephenson, Carol Szamatowicz, Stacy Szymaszek, Susie Timmons, Tony Towle, Mazarine Treyz, Ben Tripp, Paul Violi, Anne Waldman, Lewis Warsh, Jo Ann Wasserman, and Jacqueline Waters."

The Author by Raquel Pagno Evil will always heed the callings. Simas Sigmund is about to release his first book: My Demon. Encouraged by his wife, Margaret, he eventually persuaded himself to resume the old dream of youth. But being the author of a book full of demonic invocations causes him an unexplained discomfort and an ominous shiver every time he has to face his own work. Not only the nervousness of the debut, Simas suffers from nightmares where his demon blackmails him and threatens the people he loves. Everything seems to be nothing more than a mere joke played on his unhealthy mind, until the nightmares become real. The devil needs a full life, and only the pen that put him to sleep forever in the last pages of the novel can bring him back.
