One of the great things about reading Frank's poems is that I was there for the genesis of some of them. He has an eye, an ear, and a heart that cuts right through to a New York long gone but still floating around the gargoyles of midtown. I'll read a poem of his and be instantly transported to the sweat-stained, passionate days of Paddy Reilly's and Rocky Sullivan's, and I'm so glad that Frank took the time to shepherd those crazy memories and turn them into fluid words on a page. Read these poems, and get a glimpse of lives that may have been abandoned but were well and truly lived. --Larry Kirwan Larry Kirwan is a musician, author, playwright, and host of Celtic Crush, a radio show on Sirius Satellite Radio. He was the cofounder and leader of the seminal NYC Irish rock band Black 47. His hit Broadway musical Paradise Square, which Larry conceived and cowrote the book for, made its debut on April 2022. It had originally appeared as Hard Times: An American Musical. Paradise Square was flattered when it took home the Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical. Larry is currently completing work on his next Broadway musical, All the Rage. ***** "The night is forgiving as the day never is...," and so we climb into the backseat of Frank Perero's twilight journey of faith in his first collection of poetry, Drive through the Night. Perero's barroom balladeer tone goes from lofty to harsh reality, his rhythm an intimate dialogue between friends. Should you choose to travel with this everyman, you will encounter Sal the Barber, Clancy, and Sophocles. Wrapped in his profound aloneness, this fugitive of loves gone wrong, promises broken, and dreams shattered, Perero's words have the power to heal, comfort, and soften the blows of a chilly night as we, too, "join the parade..." --Maria Lisella Maria Lisella is an award-winning poet and travel writer. She served three years as the poet laureate of Queens in New York City. Her lauded works include Amore on Hope Street, Two Naked Feet, and Thieves in the Family. Maria is a poet laureate fellow of the Academy of American Poets and is the new poetry editor at Bordighera Press. ***** In his first published collection of poems, Drive Through the Night, Frank Perero tells us he feels "the might of the universe" when he puts "pen to paper." Perero is an old-time balladeer whose swordlike lines slash at the dragon of twenty-first-century angst as he soothes and entertains us in our interminable struggles against ennui, unrequited love, aging, adversity, modernity, melancholy, loneliness, and loss of faith. He is an indefatigable cheerleader of the spirit. And at the end of the day, we find ourselves at peace, a passenger of his poetry, sailing with him through the night." --Gil Fagiani Gil Fagiani was a poet, scholar, and translator. His poetry collections include Rooks; Grandpa's Wine, translated into Italian by Paul D'Agostino; A Blanquito in El Barrio; Chianti in Connecticut; Serfs of Psychiatry; and Stone Walls. His latest book is Logos (Guernica Editions 2015). Sadly, Gil passed away in April 2018. May he rest in peace. 64 i

This lively and diverse bilingual collection of essays by writers and critics examines contemporary Canadian literary arts. The perspectives range from highly personal and introspective to scholarly and objective, yet each adds significantly to an understanding of the dialogue between writers and readers. Proceedings from a workshop held at the Calgary Institute for the Humanities during the summer of 1982, the volume includes such contributors as E.D. Blodgett, Jacques Brault, Richard Giguère, D.G. Jones, Myrna Kostash, Peter Stevens, Aritha van Herk, and Christopher Wiseman. The collection will naturally be of interest to any student of Canadian literature, but the essays also forcefully address, both explicitly and implicitly, the question of a nationalism of the arts, an issue of great importance to performers and critics in many fields.

An indispensable collection of more than four decades of profound, luminous poetry from acclaimed poet Marie Howe. Characterized by “a radical simplicity and seriousness of purpose, along with a fearless interest in autobiography and its tragedies and redemptions” (Matthew Zapruder, New York Times Magazine), Marie Howe’s poetry transforms penetrating observations of everyday life into sacred, humane miracles. This essential volume draws from each of Howe’s four previous collections—including What the Living Do (1997), a haunting archive of personal loss, and the National Book Award–longlisted Magdalene (2017), a spiritual and sensual exploration of contemporary womanhood—and contains twenty new poems. Whether speaking in the voice of the goddess Persephone or thinking about aging while walking the dog, Howe is “a light-bearer, an extraordinary poet of our human sorrow and ordinary joy” (Dorianne Laux).

Naming the Silence is a welcomed new collection by a distinctive voice in American poetry. Deeply lyrical and finely crafted, the poems here reveal a practiced command of nuanced phrasing, versification, and evocative imagery. With subject matter both mundane and metaphysical, they are the result of the rich interplay within the creative imagination of memory, discerning observation of the everyday world, and sensitive reflection. In a memorable way, they help define the role of poet as listener and namer. To paraphrase Alexander Pope, Michael Blanchard gives voice to what is often deeply felt but seldom expressed. From "Autumn Comes in the Deep South" One day they will tear down this house and all the houses where I've passed time and all the roads leading to them will lead nowhere and all that's left will be the space kept open and silent and the place of the mind that turns at the sound of a name will go still for silence has no need for names.

Among the poets new to this edition are such leading names as Americans Robert Pinsky, Louise Erdrich and Louise Glück; Britons James Fenton and Carol Ann Duffy; and Canadians Anne Carson, Robert Bringhurst, and Christian Bök. A number of names who may be new to many readers of poetry are also included among them: Ohioan Debra Allbery, Vancouverite Elise Partridge, and the Cree poet Connie Fife; as with the first edition, the editors have endeavored to include much that is fresh as well as much that is familiar. There are many additions to the selections from poets who appeared in the first edition including selections from the recent work of Leonard Cohen, Les Murray, and Margaret Atwood. As before, the anthology includes work from English-language poets throughout the world from India, Africa, and the Caribbean as well as from Britain, North America, and Australia. Although the selections from the work of poets of earlier eras are largely unchanged from the first edition, there have been some changes; among poems added for this edition are Milton’s L’Allegro and Il Penseroso, Bradstreet’s “Employment,” Dickinson’s “I cannot live without You,” Frost’s “Once by the Pacific,” and Auden’s “Funeral Blues.” As before, the text emphasizes work of the past century; poems from 1900 or later take up more than half of the anthology’s pages. In its first edition The Broadview Anthology of Poetry included biographical information about the poets at the back of the anthology; for the new edition, biographical material appears in a headnote to each poet. Two other features are also new to this edition: the date of first publication is appended after each poem, and line numbering is used throughout. The numbers have been kept unobtrusive, however; as with the first edition, the designers have endeavored to give a clean look to the pages of the anthology. A substantial section on prosody, figures of speech, and so on is included as an appendix.
