304          <p align="left">Hamilton Stone author Jane Lazarre's work has often
305            centered on themes of race. This month, she featured three of her
306            books in  <em>Persimmon Tree</em>, two novels and one memoir. These
307            books, <em>Beyond the Whiteness of Whiteness</em>, <em>Inheritance
308              (Hamlton Stone Editions) </em> and <em>Worlds Beyond My Control
309              (Hamilton Stone Editions)</em>, explore intimate and public
310            relationships between white and Black Americans.</p>

313          <p align="left">Jane also recently received an excellent review in <em>Labor</em>
314            about her memoir <em>The Communist and the Communist's Daughter</em>:<em>:
315            </em>“Jane Lazarre’s memoir about her father is at once an intimate
316            look into a rocky father-daughter relationship and an account of the
317            fascinating life of a leader in the American Communist Party….the
318            personal narratives offer a picture of the Party that cannot be
319            found in more scholarly treatments of the Party, and this sets this
320            book apart….This is one of those books that deserves many audie
320nces.
321            And for that I am grateful, as I believe its appeal, like that of
322            Lazarre’s earlier memoirs, makes an important contribution to
323            understanding aspects of American history and social consciousness
324            that are not explored nearly enough.”</p>

395          <p></p>
396          <p align="left">"I spent the day reading one poem after the other,
397            amazed and comforted by what Jane Lazarre has managed to get down in
398            words and musical lines. The poem that struck me perhaps the deepest
399            is Shubert Sinking In, how she manages to link music - that cello,
400            that violin - with the music of words, rising and falling, the
401            exultation of hope amidst the dark despair of our lives - something
402            I have pondered for years, but which Lazarre actually got down on
403            the page in Breaking Light."</p>

407          <p align="left"> </p>
408          <p align="left">"Jane Lazarre excels in all forms, across multiple
409            genres. Here, in Breaking Light, she gives us poetry as insightful
410            as it is illuminating; poetry that you will want to return to again
411            and again and again. </p>

414          <p align="left"> </p>
415          <p align="left">"Jane Lazarre is one of America's foremost writers of
416            memoirs, a few of which—among them The Mother Knot and The Communist
417            and the Communist's Daughter—are seminal works of contemporary
418            non-fiction. She's also a respected and accomplished novelist. But
419            with Breaking Light— her first full-length volume of poems—Lazarre
420            establishes her impressive bona fides as a poet who has important
421            and urgent things to say and writes about them with a generous
422            heart, depth and admirable craft."</p>

430            in so strong and true a way."</p>

563            poems are pins pressed deep in the disfigured heart of America. They

851                Ortiz explores themes of sin and salvation, guilt and atonement,
852                betrayal and forgiveness....By turns philosophical and
853                metaphorical, he manages to poke fun at 'the viability of sin'
854                while considering what it means to have inherited from our

925                Wednesday, November 14, 2012, at 7 p.m. at Book Culture between
926                Broadway and Amsterdam in New York City. In <em>Homeward Bound</em>,
927                Howard weaves together three strands of experience with family
928                issues, a trained literary critic's grasp of how great
929                literature illuminates family life, and insights from thirty
930                years of work as a psychotherapist into joys, disasters, and
931                moments of deep healing in widely varied families. Howard was
932                already gravely ill when he learned that Hamilton Stone
933                Publishers had accepted <em>Homeward Bound</em>. He asked his
934                brother Arthur to shepherd the book to publication. This event

967          <blockquote>
968            <p align="left">"The poems [James Cervantes' <em>Sleepwalker's
969                Songs</em>] never fail to enthrall or intrigue. There are
970              moments when the poems fold back in on themselves &amp; after
971              reading one need re-visit the poem with an other or newer
972              perception or perspective. And sometimes the poems refuse closure
973              at all, opening out onto greater vantage points or unexpected
974              vistas than one might normally expect to encounter in the usual
975              lyric—a hallmark of his remarkable poetry.... I suspect that
976              Cervantes’ audience is not nearly as wide as it should be. I most
977              highly recommend this astonishing collection as I believe you’ll
978              find poetry here unlike most of what you might be used to
979              reading."<br />

986            <p align="left">Hamilton Stone author Leora Skolkin-Smith is
987              Finalist for Three Major E-Books Awards for her novel <em><img src="images/fragilemistress.jpg"�
988                  align="right" height="125" width="85" /></em>HYSTERA. The 2012
989              International Book Award, the National Indie Excellence Award; and
990              the upcoming Global E-Books Award, 2012, which will be announced
991              on August 18, 2012, in Santa Barbara, CA. Ms. Skolkin-Smith has
992              said about these recent accolades, "I think the awards attest to
993              the fact that the publishing landscape is changing radically
994              through the growing acceptance of e-books as well as a new
995              approach to marketing titles of literary merit that don't meet
996              commercial standards and don't fall into "brand-name" status with
997              traditional publishers and reviewers. There seems to be a critical
998              mass of independent writers who have distanced themselves from the
999              mainstream. "</p>

1592          <p align="left">Eric Weinstein says in his review in <a href="http://www.prickofthespindle.com/reviews/3.4/small_presses/leslie/night_sweat.htm">Prick
1593              of the Spindle </a> <em>, "Night Sweat</em> is essentially about
1594            the encroachment of the dream world on daily life, the endless
1595            (re)visitation of one’s past via the vehicle of dream, and the
1596            blurring of one’s real and imagined selves. The last few lines of
1597             'In the Rumpus Room'  beautifully sum up the simultaneously
1598            nightmarish and nostalgic qualities in these opposing worlds:
1599            'Promise me the forceps aren’t rusty, / that you can pinch me at
1600            arm’s length. / Pinch me awake when the clouds cover the sun.'”</p>

1604            writing efforts from short stories and other fiction to poetry to
1605            produce the unique <em>Night Sweat</em> (Hamilton Stone Editions,
1606            2009), poems of dream and nightmare, vividly described and
1607            well-imaged. The poet takes us through a cast of children, memories
1608            of experiences at different childhood ages, experiences culled from
1609            sights &amp; sites, birds, and art works, seen through a prism of
1610            night's distortions, sometimes better than reality, other times not
1611            so. The same blurred vision edges the poems of the day as well, and
1612            creates a unified vision for this poet's first strong collection of
1613            verse. </p>

1617            Nathan Leslie comes to readers with his first foray into verse, <em>Night

1619            verse giving readers a glimpse into the common aspects of life that
1620            readers so often experience. <em>Night Sweat</em> is an expertly
1621            crafted book of work, a fine addition to any collection. "The

1631            Jane Lazarre's <em>Some Place Quite Unknown</em></h4>
1632          <h5 align="left"><em>Some Place Quite Unknown is </em>as intimate and
1633            urgent as a poem. Lazarre’s enraptured and lyrical prose probes,
1634            with rigor and dazzling artistry, the deepest places of a woman’s
1635            heart. A powerful and original work .

1638          <h5 align="left">Jane Lazarre’s <em>Some Place Quite Unknown </em>is
1639            a beautiful, original novel. I finished it with sadness at having to
1640            leave its richly detailed world --- the reverberating psychological
1641            repercussions of a woman’s early loss of her mother, the best scenes
1642            of psychoanalytic sessions in current literature, exquisitely
1643            rendered scenes of nature. Lazarre’s intricate interweaving of ideas
1644            and storytelling is akin to reading <em>The Golden Notebook </em>or
1645            Simone deBeauvvoir’s <em>The Mandarins </em>for the first time. A
1646            contemporary classic<br />

1648              Fires, The Climate of the Country, My Mother’s Island</em></h5>
1649          <h5 align="left">I feel honored as a reader to be ushered into this
1650            space where the walls of the psyche become permeable and time
1651            boundaries collapse; where cherished differences between “down
1652            there” and “up here” stop making sense. This reality of psychic life
1653            holds true for us all – and shows that truths are multiple,
1654            ever-shifting, resident in the body, not just in words.<br />

1718                with Entrance of Clones </em>(Hamilton Stone Editions) because
1719              there is no other American poet who writes so thrillingly of the
1720              present and with such imagination and craft. This volume, his
1721              13th, is a metrical vortex, dazzling in its constructions.

1727            <p align="left">Halvard Johnson's book <em>Organ Harvest with
1728                Entrance of Clones</em> represents the work of a quiet pluralist
1729              who is by equal measure amazed by the world and dismayed &amp;
1730              angered by those who would control it. The poems here range from
1731              abstract musings (or amusements) on relationships to ironic
1732              assaults on the hypocrisies that run through the current political
1733              landscape. Throughout, Johnson uses the fungibility of language to
1734              say at least two things at every opportunity, one of them literal
1735              and the other ironic or whimsical. There is an aspect of jesterism
1736              or merry prankster in each poem, though at the center of the book
1737              is an optimism that our "better natures" still reside in us
1738              somewhere and that eventually, perhaps through the application of
1739              poetry and intelligence, they will rise to the surface, if only
1740              just in time. A solid book recommended.</p>

1743              By <strong>Judith Jenya</strong> </h5>
1744            <p>To read <em>Organ Harvest with Entrance of Clones,</em> the 13th
1745              book of poetry by San Miguel poet Halvard Johnson, is to have the
1746              experience of arriving at thought and words through feelings and
1747              images at once bizarre and astute. The title poem probes our
1748              contemporary life and mortality in idiosyncratic and elegant
1749              language. Johnson’s poems are  highly crafted, obscure, political,
1750              and serious, with irony and humor that let the clarity and
1751              insights in the poems take the reader to unexpected places. His
1752              dour Swedish roots commingle with a somewhat riotous, rather
1753              surrealistic take on life, people and contemporary events in this
1754              very intelligent and original look at the human condition today. 
1755            </p>
1756            <p>Johnson  grew up in the Hudson Valley and NYC and has gathered
1757              his images, thoughts and experiences in world travel and while
1758              living and teaching in Europe, Asia, and the US. He has received
1759              grants from  the National Endowment for the Arts, the Maryland
1760              State Arts Council and Baltimore City Arts. He is the poetry
1761              editor of the online literary review <em>Hamilton Stone Review</em>
1762              and has written for numerous national journals and magazines. He
1763              has collaborated with James Cervantes, another San Miguel poet, on
1764              a collection of poems written online over a period of several
1765              weeks a few years ago. He is collaborating with his wife,
1766              prize-winning writer and visual artist, Lynda Schor on a new work
1767              of fiction. </p>
1768            <p>Many of Johnson’s poetry collections are available online. His
1769              first four collections can be found at <a href="http://capa.conncoll.edu/"�
1770                target="_blank"><u>http://capa.conncoll.edu/</u></a>. An online
1771              press called Vida Loca Books (founded by Johnson and Schor) has

1779            <p>Johnson, while he thinks it is best to read poetry in solitude,
1780              in the dark and still of night, has given public readings of his
1781              poetry in San Miguel and threatens to do so again. </p>

1788              is.  Many sonnets appear here, but there are also longer poems,
1789              poetic sequences, in various forms. Many harvest various texts,
1790              dialects &amp; discourses, all to undermine expectations. Sharply
1791              etched, &amp; often beautifully illustrating the vagaries of the
1792              'I', these poems exemplify a USAmerican surreality crashing into
1793              the politics of being here, now. Certainly a book worth tracking

1803                Tokyo Subway wins Poetic Diversity Award North American poet.</strong></h5>
1804            <h5>Halvard Johnson (born 1936) also writes narratives, which are
1805              absurd fragments of chaos rather than elegant aesthetic forms; yet
1806              in energetic bursts of wit they exhibit uncanny control.</h5>
1807            <h5><em>Guide to the Tokyo Subway</em> begins with the title poem
1808              that closes: "I'd always thought/ that if I positioned myself/just
1809              so,/as the train pulled/into the station/certain forces would
1810              come/into play, changing/my outlook on things/in surprising
1811              ways/the train would transport me/to a distant station/with an
1812              unfamiliar name/in an unfamiliar script/and I would get off/happy
1813              to be alive/not knowing which way to turn."</h5>
1814            <h5>This mock guide intends to keep us off track, since our
1815              narrator's Tokyo cannot be trusted any more than his maps of Egypt
1816              and Baltimore or dissertations on placebos and white lies.</h5>
1817            <h5>Johnson casts these clever shadows to the edge of nonsense where
1818              media glibly flash the surreal and enduring concepts get devoured
1819              in sound bites.</h5>
1820            <h5>Toward the end of Johnson's 12th book of poems, we read in
1821              "Poem" that "The poem begins with the poem/begins with and
1822              continues on to say/and continues on to say ... The middle/of the
1823              poem consists entirely of the/middle of the poem consists
1824              entirely/of the middle of the poem. The poem/ends with the poem
1825              ends with a bang."</h5>
1826            <h5>While Johnson artfully plays with the shape of narrative,
1827              Christensen subtly reaffirms its psychic form. Read them to the
1828              end.<br />

1852            <h5><strong>Praise for <em>Guide to the Tokyo Subway</em></strong>by
1853              Halvard Johnson: <br />
1854              Many poets send me their books, but few I've received are as fine
1855              as Halvard Johnson's<em>Guide to the Tokyo Subway</em>.  I have at
1856              least fourteen favorite poems, including "Morning Calm," "Paris in
1857              Old Photographs," "La Violencia," "How to Write Your Own Obituary"
1858              and "Take Me to the Water."  And for sheer delight, "Thirteen
1859              Variations on a Line by Robert Frost." In just about all of the
1860              poems there's something fascinating—an image, a tone, a total
1861              consciousness (often an achieved calm), an experiment with sound
1862              or phrasing.  I found myself re-reading many of the poems, so many
1863              are "locked" and provide complete satisfaction. It’s also the wide
1864              range of <em>Guide to the Toyko Subway</em> that I greatly
1865              admire, the complete <em>interest</em> Halvard Johnson brings to
1866              so many things, the expansiveness of these poems even while
1867              they're leading us to still moments. I've never seen another poet
1868              acknowledge the nuclear power plant, include it in solid lines,
1869              and then, in the same poem, move beyond it out to the Zen-like
1870              horizon in that unique "bomb and calm" style which is all
1871              Johnson's own. -- Dick Allen </h5>

1884              living in the present, and confronting the future. Bisexual themes
