Every hour is late : poems / by Brodeur, Brian,1978-;
"These verse-dispatches from deep within Indiana and Ohio offer a feast of poetic forms and genres rare in contemporary American poetry: dramatic monologues, blank verse narratives, Sapphics, tritinas, and rimas dissolutas. Here is a book set firmly in contentious political realities, yet informed by history and myth. Even his private subjects-fatherhood, family, faith - resonate with the tensions of the current historical moment"--

Index of women / by Gerstler, AmyAuthor(DLC)n 85274211 ;
"From a "maestra of invention" (The New York Times) who is at once supremely witty, ferociously smart, and emotionally raw, a new collection of poems about womanhood. Amy Gerstler has won acclaim for sly, sophisticated, and subversive poems that find meaning in unexpected places. Women's voices, from childhood to old age, dominate this new collection of rants, dramatic monologues, confessions and laments. A young girl muses on virginity. An aging opera singer rages against the fact that she must quit drinking. A woman in a supermarket addresses a head of lettuce. The tooth fairy finally speaks out. Both comic and prayer-like, these poems wrestle with mortality, animality, love, gender, and what it is to be human"--.

Is this my final form? / by Gerstler, Amy,author.(CARDINAL)276167;
"A poet renowned for her "wit and complexity" (Poetry Foundation) explores the endless evolution and malleability of life on earth in her most curious, inventive collection to date Aren't we all shape-shifters? Is any animal, vegetable, or mineral-even a commonplace object-what it seems to be at any given moment? Who isn't juggling constant transformations, conflicting roles, changing loyalties, loves, perceptions, and selves, all while being pummeled by shifting devotions, emotions, and obsessions? Do even the dead continue to evolve in surprising ways? Reveling in these questions, Gerstler's latest protean poetry collection includes loose sonnets, shapely praise of Mae West, the lament of an actor who can't shed his costume, dramatic monologues, whiffs of gender slippage, a love lyric to the bride of Frankenstein, a lullaby for adults, and a ten-minute play"--
