A remarkable collection of 42 poets connected with the Rutherford, NJ poetry revival gives voice to memorable poetry and essays in the third edition of The Rutherford Red Wheelbarrow. Published by the Red Wheelbarrow Poets, this third annual edition of the literary journal celebrates the epic in the local and poetic voices in the American grain that so inspired William Carlos Williams, Rutherford's hometown doctor and poet, whose liberation of the voice of the common man (and woman) in poetry was a true revolution in words during the last century.--The Red Wheelbarrow Poets.

Donna Spector’s Lessons is a cycle of vignettes, arranged chronologically, that depicts, through specific moments in the speaker-teacher’s career, the wide sweep of emotions one experiences during a career in education. Often poignant (the loss of students we carry like stones with us, although we may have forgotten their names), sometimes funny (a reactionary principal who doesn’t actually read anything), this book is a welcome acknowledgement of everyday scenarios for Spector’s fellow teachers, as well as a window onto the happiness and heartache of the profession for those who have been affected by teachers—which, of course, is all of us. —BJ Ward, Gravedigger’s Birthday, 17 Love Poems with No Despair, Landing in New Jersey with Soft Hands Teachers are idealists who try hard to make the world a better place, in spite of all the interferences with demanding parents, inane politicians, and inept administrators who torment rather than lead. And we all fail miserably much of the time. In one poem in Lessons, Donna Spector advises her students “Don’t let fear stop you.” And she takes her own advice marvelously. These poems overflow with good students, immature students, even criminal students, with rejection and frustration, loving and loathing, pity and terror, and ultimately with bracing courage. Dr. Johnson defined a second marriage as “the triumph of hope over experience.” The serene wisdom Ms. Spector offers in these poems in the aftermath of classroom nightmares makes it a good definition of teaching, too. —Sander Zulauf, Editor Emeritus, Journal of New Jersey Poets, & Poet Laureate, Diocese of Newark. English teachers expect a certain amount of drama, but Donna Spector’s Lessons is especially rich in the comedy and tragedy of high school. Struggling to keep order in the classroom, luring students into literature, directing plays and a literary magazine, watching students navigate the chaotic halls of adolescence, Spector, a graduate of Berkeley’s hippie days, can be as provocative as her students. Outside the classroom, she’s the playwright wearing glittering red heels (paid for by her principal) to her Off-Broadway opening night. Quirky, witty, tender poems that remind us how challenging and rewarding education (on both sides of the desk) can be. —Mary Makofske, Tractio, Eating Nasturtiums Donna Spector’s book of poems, Lessons, takes us on a journey, as we follow her from her early days as a teacher through the numerous classrooms she inhabited in the years in between. Spector celebrates both her failures and triumphs as a teacher. What we learn in Lessons is just how much love and perseverance go into creating a great teacher. What a gem of a book! —Maria Mazziotti Gillan, The Silence in an Empty House, Ancestors’ Song, What We Pass On: Collected Poems

Damon DiMarco's Tower Stories: An Oral History of 9/11 eternally preserves a monumental tragedy in American history through the voices of the people who were in Lower Manhattan and elsewhere in New York City on that fateful day. The stories DiMarco has collected come from a diverse group of human beings: individuals who managed to escape from the Towers; the bereaved of 9/11; the policemen, firemen, paramedics, reporters, and volunteers who risked their lives to help others; eyewitnesses who stood in shock on the streets below the Towers; WTC structural engineers, political experts, political dissidents, small business owners, and, of course, children whose lives will be forever impacted by the horror and chaos they witnessed. In the tradition of Studs Terkel, DiMarco's moving oral history chronicles the stories of everyone from the small group of people who miraculously made it safely down from the 89th floor of Tower 1 to the New York Times reporter trying desperately to fight her way through the fleeing crowds into Lower Manhattan, to the paramedic who set up a triage area 200 yards from the base of the Towers before they collapsed to the ordinary citizens of New York City who tried to get on with their lives in the days following the tragic event. This expanded second edition of DiMarco's literary time capsule includes follow-up interviews that track contributors' lives in the years since 9/11, as well as dozens of never-before-published photographs.

“The history of Shakespeare in America,” writes James Shapiro in his introduction to this groundbreaking anthology, “is also the history of America itself.” Shakespeare was a central, inescapable part of America’s literary inheritance, and a prism through which crucial American issues—revolution, slavery, war, social justice—were refracted and understood. In tracing the many surprising forms this influence took, Shapiro draws on many genres—poetry, fiction, essays, plays, memoirs, songs, speeches, letters, movie reviews, comedy routines—and on a remarkable range of American writers from Emerson, Melville, Lincoln, and Mark Twain to James Agee, John Berryman, Pauline Kael, and Cynthia Ozick. Americans of the revolutionary era ponder the question “to sign or not to sign;” Othello becomes the focal point of debates on race; the Astor Place riots, set off by a production of Macbeth, attest to the violent energies aroused by theatrical controversies; Jane Addams finds in King Lear a metaphor for American struggles between capital and labor. Orson Welles revolutionizes approaches to Shakespeare with his legendary productions of Macbeth and Julius Caesar; American actors from Charlotte Cushman and Ira Aldridge to John Barrymore, Paul Robeson, and Marlon Brando reimagine Shakespeare for each new era. The rich and tangled story of how Americans made Shakespeare their own is a literary and historical revelation. As a special feature, the book includes a foreword by Bill Clinton, among the latest in a long line of American presidents, including John Adams, John Quincy Adams, and Abraham Lincoln, who, as the collection demonstrates, have turned to Shakespeare’s plays for inspiration.

BJ Ward, an award-winning poet whose poetry and essays have been featured on National Public Radio and in publications such as The Sun Magazine, TriQuarterly, The Literary Review, and the New York Times, has brought together in one volume the fruits of his labor spanning over twenty years. Winner of the 2014 Paterson Award for Literary Excellence, this rich collection of thoughtful and often ironic reflections reveals both the reverence and irreverence of human experience. Jackleg Opera contains material from Ward's three previous books Landing in New Jersey with Soft Hands, 17 Love Poems with No Despair, and Gravedigger's Birthday, as well as thirty-five new poems that are reminiscent of the clear simple style of Poet Laureate Billy Collins. Under the Elm We left the party, walked / beneath a moon that seemed / more a spotlight than night, / until we found a tree. / We pressed against it / and the grass rose against us, / the sky continued to darken, / and soon days, weeks, migrations, / and metamorphoses passed / as we kissed ourselves out / of our bored lives. / Us--two thousand miles away now, / the grass still growing wild around our feet. "In poems that both honor and transcend his blue-collar roots, BJ Ward blends poignancy and humor with downright good storytelling, and takes his place among the brightest voices of his generation."--Stephen Dunn, winner of the 2001 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry From the Trade Paperback edition.
