| SHAKING THE GRASS FOR DEW Richard Lewis 21 Sep 2008 New Native Press ISBN: 978-1-883197-14-8 Price: $14.95 |
Poetry. Nature. East-West traditions.
Richard Lewis with SHAKING THE GRASS FOR DEW, his first collection of original work, can be seen, perhaps, as the modern Western equivalent of the great nature poets of the East–Wang Wei and Han-Shan come to mind. Richard Lewis writes a kind of surreal metaphysics untamed and unlike anything being written in America today. The Neruda of Tao-inspired poems, Lewis’s longer Issa-like, haiku-like poems are fresh with the dew from whence they came: a place deep in the spirit of nature. An amazing and timely vision coming from someone who has lived most of his life in New York City.

Barbara R. Duncan |
Poetry. Appalachian Studies.
The author of two previous award-winning books on Cherokee culture, Barbara R. Duncan’s first collection of poems extends her talents as a songwriter into the literature of the southern Appalachians in a way reminiscent of work that came out of the Fugitive movement over a generation ago. Her attention to detail of flora and fauna and allegiance to tradition, shows why she is one of the most honored folklorists in America. These poems are as heartfelt and passionate as they are gentle and place-provoking.

What Co$t Freedom?
$6, 14 pages, paper, limited edition
“With What Co$t Freedom?, Michael Revere has unleashed a poem that can only be described as a modern-day Book of Revelations. A “Howl” for our times, it is at once spiritual and secular, capturing both the sacred and the profane. Hip and holy, Hop and horror, it is a cautionary tome that is, if nothing else, a wake-up call for humanity during these forboding times when the appeal of laissez-faire capitalism seems to be stronger than common sense, stronger than survival.” – Thomas Rain Crowe
Poems From Snow Hill Road
$8, 40 pages, paper, limited edition
“First book by poet-ecoactivist Brent Martin. One of the best small books about place I’ve ever seen. Written from and about the community where he lives in rural western North Carolina, Snow Hill Road shines with the confidence of personal metaphors that bring the people and the hills alive. A mature start for a mature poet.” -Thomas Rain Crowe

“NatureS”
by Jeff Davis
New Native Press (2006)
Paperback: 91 pages / $12.50
ISBN: 1-883197-22-8
Poetry/Literature/Appalachian Studies
From the back cover:
“Way back when, a literary gent by the name of E.L. Pound, from Hailey, Idaho, announced to the world: “I divide poetry into what I can read and what I cannot read.” I am new to Jeff Davis’s work but hit’ll read!!! It reminds me that writers named Robert Creeley and Charles Olson once taught at Black Mountain College in Buncombe County NC – and made a difference.” – Jonathan Williams
“rEdlipsticK”
by Ted Pope
New Native Press (2006)
Paperback: 61 pages / $12.50
ISBN: 1-883197-20-1
Poetry/Literature/World Cultures
From the back cover:
A hybrid combination of wise old sage and someone teeting on the edge describes Ted Pope in performance. On the page his work, likewise, combines ancient wisdom and that which is out of control. A walking contradiction, he is infused with a kind of charge rarely experienced, either onstage or on the page, in any time or space, in any culture or Age. In his word, his writing is imbued with an extra-terrestrial grounding that, for the reader, brings on vertigo while being in love with flight. And fly he does!
From ancient Egypt to the netherworlds of the subconscious, Ted Pope’s rEdlipsticK takes us on a journey of imagination bordering on legend. “Hang on!” he says, “and leave the flying to us.”

Hi, I saw Les Poemes D’Une Vie Perdue: The Poems Of A Lost Life in the SPD catalog and would love it–and any poetry title published April 2009 or later–for this year’s Showcase!–Maggie
Poets House 2010 Showcase:
June 28, 2010 (Opening Reception)
Submission Deadline: May 31, 2010
Dear Publisher,
This summer Poets House invites you to celebrate the 2010 Poets House Showcase, a festival of the art unlike any other—where all of this year’s new books, from publishers large and small across America, will be on display. Now that we are in our new home on the banks of the Hudson River, the Showcase will fill Kray Hall, and the voices of poets and audiences will spill out into the park. This year marks the first of a new summer festival of poetry. Please join us by making your new books a part of it.
Opening on June 28, 2010, the Showcase will be on view throughout the month of July, including all of the year’s new poetry and poetry-related books, chapbooks, and multimedia titles published in the United States. Over 2,000 books were in last year’s exhibit, representing close to 600 publishers—commercial, university, independent, small, and micro-presses.
Inclusion in the Showcase is entirely FREE. To participate, please email maggie@poetshouse.org to let us know of your interest in participating in the Showcase and then send us review copies of your latest poetry books. The 2010 Showcase will include all poetry and poetry-related titles (volumes by individual authors, anthologies, chapbooks, biographies, critical studies, essay collections, CDs, DVDs, etc.) published since April 2009.
Why participate?
• Books are organized by publisher and displayed face-forward, offering free publicity not only for your latest titles but for your press as well.
• Exposure to national prize and library acquisition committees.
• Free listings in our online Directory of American Poetry Books, the country’s most complete bibliographic resource for contemporary poetry books.
• After the Showcase, all titles are incorporated into Poets House’s 50,000-volume, noncirculating poetry library.
To ensure your new books are included:
• Please send an email to maggie@poetshouse.org to let us know which books you will be sending no later than May 15, 2010.
• Send two copies of each book to Poets House (address below) as soon as they are available. All books must be received by May 31 , 2010 to ensure a spot in the display.
