Carroll</B></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>Karla Linn Merrifield, </B>chief editor<B>,</B> and co-editor <B>Roger M. Weir</B> have assembled a first anthology of its type in the world to inspire readers to take action on behalf of the continent's endangered plants and animals.  </div> <bR> <div> "Poets here have left their ivory towers to encourage their neighbors to walk in the woods, observe the world, learn - and act,” said Merrifield, who teaches writing in the New York state university system. </div> <bR> <div> <B>Dr. Edward O. Wilson</B>, world-renowned Harvard entomologist and two-time Pulitzer-Prize winning author, points out in the epigraph to this unique collection of poetry, “…the better an ecosystem is known, the less likely it will be destroyed.”  </div> <bR> <div> This is the premise of “THE DIRE ELEGIES: 59 Poets on Endangered Species of North America” and why author <B>Bill McKibben</B> (“The End of Nature,” “Enough,” and “Wandering Home”) says in the book's foreword, “These magnificent poems work as a chant to summon more” of the love to save the endangered from extinction.  It's also why writer <B>Susan Cerulean</B> (“Tracking Desire: A Journey After Swallow-tailed Kites”<I>)</I> has called the book an “important manifesto: a must-read for our times.”  </div> <bR> <div>     </div> <div>  Included in the anthology are noted poets<B> William Heyen, Maxine Kumin, W. S. Merwin, Enid Shomer, James E. Smelcer, Gary Snyder, Brian Swann </B>and<B> Lewis Turco </B>among others.  The 59 poets are from all across the U.S. and Canada.  </div> <bR> <div> The book's cover illustration depicting painted turtles in hibernation was donated by New Hampshire artist and naturalist <B>David M. Carroll</B>, recipient of The Burroughs Award for his <I>Swampwalker's Journal: A Wetland's Year</I>. </div> <bR> <div> <I><B>Science Meets Poetry</B></I></div> <bR> <div>      A helpful feature of the anthology is the species notes that accompany the poems each time a new species is introduced.  </div> <bR> <div> For example, when readers encounter Minnesota poet Shirley S. Stevens's poem “On Spotting a Pygmy Owl,” they also learn:  “<I>The endangered cactus ferruginous pygmy owl, </I>Glaucidium brasilianum cactorum<I>, of the U.S. Southwest and Mexico, numbered only 12 birds when it was listed in the U.S. in 1997.  A USF&WS recovery team began its work to rescue the species in 1998, but its fate remains precarious.”   </I></div> <bR> <div>      “This anthology is a major advance along a most important frontier: forging compassion for endangered species, and using our human self-awareness to reflect on whether we really wish to travel the road we're on.,” said <B>Carl Safina</B>, author of <I>Song for the Blue Ocean</I> and <I>Voyage of the Turtle</I>, and founder and president of the Blue Ocean Institute.</div> <bR> <bR> <div> <I>The Dire Elegies</I></div> <div> is a 120 page hand-sewn book with spine - $19.95</div> <bR> <div> TO ORDER  ON-LINE </div> <bR> <div> <B> <form target="paypal" action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post"> <input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/sc-but-01.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!"> <input type="hidden" name="add" value="1"> <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_cart"> <input type="hidden" name="business" value="fhp@foothillspublishing.com"> <input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="The Dire Elegies"> <input type="hidden" name="item_number" value="06-05"> <input type="hidden" name="amount" value="19.95"> <input type="hidden" name="no_note" value="1"> <input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD"> </form>      </B> <form target="paypal" action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post"> <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_cart"> <input type="hidden" name="business" value="fhp@foothillspublishing.com"> <input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/images/view_cart.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!"> <input type="hidden" name="display" value="1"> </form>  </div> <bR> <div> Contributors Order On-Line here:</div> <div> <B> <form target="paypal" action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post"> <input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/sc-but-01.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!"> <input type="hidden" name="add" value="1"> <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_cart"> <input type="hidden" name="business" value="fhp@foothillspublishing.com"> <input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="The Dire Elegies"> <input type="hidden" name="item_number" value="06-05"> <input type="hidden" name="amount" value="$9.98"> <input type="hidden" name="no_note" value="1"> <input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD"> </form>  </B></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="id42.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Ordering By Mail"><U>To order through mail click here.</U></A></div> <bR> <div> Send orders to:                      </div> <bR> <div> FootHills Publishing</div> <div> PO Box 68</div> <div> Kanona, NY 14856</div> <div> *********************************</div> <div> <B> <A NAME="listening_to_water"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></B><B>Listening to Water</B></div> <div> <I><B>The Susquehanna Watershed Anthology</B></I></div> <bR> <div> <B><IMG SRC="1df2cd40.jpg" border=0 width="300" height="468" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> <div> Edited by Jennifer Hill-Kaucher and Dan Waber</div> <div> Cover Art by Christine Goldbeck</div> <bR> <div> <B>Introduction</B></div> <bR> <div> We were sharing poems our favorite way, among friends, over beverages, within the slow swirl of an autumn breeze, at the dining room table, when Michael asked us if we'd be interested in editing an anthology for him and FootHills Publishing. Sure, we said, what sort of anthology? Michael went on to tell us how he thought it would be appropriate to put together an anthology of poems from the Susquehanna Watershed area, because that's what  FootHills' first book had been, almost 20 years ago. Who would dream of saying “no”?</div> <bR> <div> In the process of putting together the collection you now hold in your hands we used several criteria. First, the poems selected had to strike us both as being excellent poems. Second, the excellent poems had to be emblematic of the anthology's area of focus, the Susquehanna Watershed. By “emblematic” we mean that they had to perform the dual function of making residents of the area say “yes, that's us all right” and allowing non-residents to say “oh, now I understand the region better.” Third, the excellent, emblematic poems had to blend organically with the other poems selected. We didn't want to assemble a collection that throbbed with flashpops of disconnected poems. We wanted to assemble a collection that flows, like the Susquehanna herself - an anthology that twists and winds its way, surely, into every aspect of the lives of the people of an entire region.</div> <bR> <div> Here's to 20 years of FootHills Publishing, and here's to 20 more.</div> <bR> <bR> <div> <I>Dan Waber & Jennifer Hill-Kaucher</I></div> <div> Editors</div> <div> <B>  </B></div> <div> <I>Listening to Water</I></div> <div> is a 100 page hand-sewn book with spine - $16.00</div> <bR> <div> TO ORDER  ON-LINE </div> <bR> <div> <B> <form target="paypal" action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post"> <input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/sc-but-01.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!"> <input type="hidden" name="add" value="1"> <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_cart"> <input type="hidden" name="business" value="fhp@foothillspublishing.com"> <input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="Listening to Water"> <input type="hidden" name="item_number" value="06-16"> <input type="hidden" name="amount" value="16.00"> <input type="hidden" name="no_note" value="1"> <input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD"> </form>      </B> <form target="paypal" action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post"> <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_cart"> <input type="hidden" name="business" value="fhp@foothillspublishing.com"> <input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/images/view_cart.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!"> <input type="hidden" name="display" value="1"> </form>  </div> <bR> <div> Contributors Order On-Line here:</div> <div> <B> <form target="paypal" action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post"> <input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/sc-but-01.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!"> <input type="hidden" name="add" value="1"> <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_cart"> <input type="hidden" name="business" value="fhp@foothillspublishing.com"> <input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="Listening to Water"> <input type="hidden" name="item_number" value="06-16"> <input type="hidden" name="amount" value="$8.00"> <input type="hidden" name="no_note" value="1"> <input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD"> </form>  </B></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <A HREF="id42.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Ordering By Mail"><U>To order through mail click here.</U></A></div> <div> ********************************</div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div>  <A NAME="an_anthology_from_"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A><IMG SRC="1e52cdf0.jpg" border=0 width="300" height="479" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> <B>an anthology from </B></div> <div> <B>the Inmates' Poetry Workshop </B></div> <div> <B>of Auburn Correctional Facility </B></div> <div> <B>Auburn, New York    2001-2009</B></div> <bR> <bR> <div> “Listen, America!  These poems are the best of what Robert Pinsky's <I>Democracy, Culture and the Voice of Poetry, </I>describes as an attempt to balance our national Memory.  Open your eyes, mind, and hearts to the simple, frank, unsettling beauty.” </div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>                 -Vincent F.

After ten years and</div> <div> thousands of manuscripts read for the PEN Prison Writing Awards (PEN stands</div> <div> for Poets, Editors & Novelists, an international association of writers), I</div> <div> have learned to recognize poems from whatever confined corner of this nation</div> <div> someone or some group is actively working on his/her/their craft. The nuts</div> <div> and bolts are hidden, but the images are nailed in place, and the</div> <div> imagination leaps out in an arc that touches the reader.</div> <div> Week after week the writers of this anthology gathered in some corner of</div> <div> Auburn Prison, brought together by the arrival of a visitor, the poet</div> <div> Patricia Roth Schwartz. The whole premise and requirement of weekly writing</div> <div> sessions brought about the inspiration, formulation, creation, sharing, and</div> <div> thereafter the editing of these poems. They are the works of writers</div> <div> concerned with the big questions: Who am I? What am I doing here? What is</div> <div> this society I am part of? What about my loved ones, how can I serve them?</div> <div> . . . . .</div> <bR> <div> Having read through the contents of this anthology several times these</div> <div> past weeks, I have earmarked my personal favorites-both writers and</div> <div> poems-which I will not share with you. Rather I urge you to pick your own.</div> <div> Novelist Bernard Malamud, who once served as president of PEN American</div> <div> Center, said, and I'm paraphrasing, that his belief in a fellowship of</div> <div> writers had to do with fostering “literature as a civilizing force in an</div> <div> unstable world; a literature that gives flesh and bones and perhaps a brain</div> <div> to the politics that assail us; a literature that entices us to understand</div> <div> and value life.” That pretty much describes the book you're holding in your</div> <div> hands</div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>From the Introduction by Patricia Roth Schwartz:</B></div> <bR> <div> What's it like for a teacher to enter the school where she plans to</div> <div> teach, not through ivy-covered arches into a sunlit book-lined classroom,</div> <div> but by passing under a hulking stone entry worthy of a medieval fortress,</div> <div> then submit to a metal detector, a search of her briefcase, having</div> <div> previously had a mug shot and fingerprints taken? Then she walks, not</div> <div> across a grassy campus, but over an asphalt-surfaced walled yard, escorted</div> <div> by armed guards, past towering turrets manned by gunmen, into a building</div> <div> sparsely stocked with only basic furniture, no supplies, and peeling paint.</div> <div> Intimidating? Fearsome? Perhaps… Yet what's it like to find her students pouring into the meager</div> <div> classroom brimming with eagerness and enthusiasm, clutching sheaves of poems</div> <div> and stacks of manuscripts they've been working on for years, many</div> <div> self-educated in subjects ranging from mythology to history to world</div> <div> religions?
