Season of Flowers and Dust    (poems by Gregg Mosson)

Season of Flowers and Dust explores through poetry a seasonal cycle of fall, winter, and spring in the Pacific Northwest. The close observations found here in fall and spring poems and winter sonnets offer readers a strong engagement with the natural world.

 

ÒNot since the writings of Robert Hass and Barbara Hurd has there been a poet who so tributes the natural world in poetry. Gregg Mosson follows the strange stars of our seasons with the attention of a birdwatcher and passion of a lover. Reverence to nature is as ancient as time, but what remains is the poet who touches this territory the way the wind sings our language.Ó

—Grace Cavalieri, Poet and producer of ÒThe Poet and the Poem from the Library of Congress.Ó

Poems Against War: Music & Heroes (edited by Gregg Mosson)

Poems Against War: Music & Heroes features poets tackling the issue of war at the dawn of the 21st century through investigating the interplay of music, violence, change, war, and song.  

 

Critic Jim Doss says, "Poems Against War offers a wide range of poems that cover the spectrum of political poetry . . . an impressive collection of political poetry, tastefully laid out and organized" (Loch Raven Review, Spring 2008).  

 

This annual journalÕs closing section ÒHeroesÓ features poets investigating similar issues through the lens of heroes and heroic action, past and present.  Included here are new poems from Antler, Grace Cavalieri, Marcus Colasurdo, Dike Okoro, and more.
