Although this book does not attempt to revive the image of Frost as a benign, white-haired sage, it does present him in a strikingly different light than did Lawrence Thompson’s controversial three-volume biography. William H. Pritchard sees Frost whole, demonstrating the complex interaction between the poet’s life and work. Based not only on the poetry, but on letters, notebooks, recorded interviews, and public appearances as well, Frost: A Literary Life Reconsidered examines the most interesting and significant aspects of Frost’s life and poetry and offers an attentive, sensitive portrait of an artist whose critical reputation continues to grow.

Kim Myeong-sun is Korea's first published woman writer. Fruit of Life: Poems (생명의 과실: 김명순 시선) is the first book-length, Korean-to-English translation of her poetry. Kim’s poems offer a raw portrait of 1920s–30s Korea, driven by her personal experiences of sexual assault, misogynistic journalism and criticism, displacement, and poverty during the Japanese colonial occupation (1910–1945). Alongside feminist critique, Kim also writes about sapphic desire, familial affection, and nature, in styles that range from the traditional to the experimental. While Kim’s work was erased from the canon by Korea’s misogynistic literary establishment, Fruit of Life celebrates the legacy of Kim’s radical, versatile poetry, which paved the way for contemporary Korean women writers.

‘한국 여성 최초 등단 작가’ 김명순의 시가 영문 완역본 『생명의 과실: 김명순 시선』으로 영어권 독자들을 만난다. 1920–30년대 조선 사회의 민낯을 강렬하고 가감 없는 언어로 담아낸 김명순의 시는, 일제강점기 아래 성폭력과 여성혐오적 언론 및 비평, 이주와 빈곤을 직접 겪어낸 작가의 여성주의적·반식민주의적 저항 정신을 생생히 드러낸다. 또한 전통과 실험을 넘나드는 다채로운 형식과 기법으로 여성 간 연대와 사랑, 가족애, 자연에 대하여 노래한다. 『생명의 과실: 김명순 시선』은 여성혐오적 문단으로부터 소외당한 김명순의 작품을 재조명하며, 한국 여성문학의 새로운 지평을 연 그의 업적을 기념한다.

In Full-Time Mammal, perception becomes both subject and site of excavation. Rennie Ament wrestles with what it means to be awake and aware in a disorienting world. How are you supposed to know what you don’t know? As ancient defense mechanisms fail, the brain must be retrained, and poetry becomes a divination tool, a game, a portal, a potential weapon, a way through fog.

Survival requires becoming a poet-cum-scientist. Drool becomes data. Ants carry thoughts to rot beneath earth. Animals, plants, and objects are not symbols but companionate presences. This collection feels its way through the failure of imagination at the heart of preordained systems, turning to the natural world not for refuge, but reinvention.
 

Fretwork hazards a response to its dilemma by turning, skeptically and resiliently, toward the materials of lyric poetry and empathetic action, however fragmented and fragile. Glazer’s poems are sculpted word by word, their forms evoking both organic process and machined exactness. Their voice blends command and humility, openness and terseness, generosity and rigor, gravity and mordant humor.
