Salvage, Cindy Milwe's intimate, moving new poetry collection, glitters with pleasure and pain. A girl delightedly examines "the spidery growth" of her first pubic hairs, "radiating out from my center." In the poem "What A Daughter Will Do," Milwe writes of a caesarean scar "that runs/from the mother's navel/to her pubic bone." It is this duality that gives Salvage its remarkable power. Keenly observed, Milwe's poems bring into clear focus not only "the yellow and white calico" of summer corn, but "the dark, rank bottom" of a childhood marked by an abusive father, a culture's misogyny. There are moments of tenderness too, deeply felt homages to students, to poets such as Wright, Roethke and Akhmatova. Salvage is treasure indeed, multifaceted, invaluable. -Ellen Bass Whatever else she is, has been or is willing to become (creatively) in the lifelong act of wrestling (into poems) the central energy of voice and vibe from reality, Cindy Milwe is naturally and essentially a poet of the stages of human development (not a Narrative Poet) and a poet engaged in the transformative contemporary mythology of secrets. Nearly all of the poems in Salvage manage to grow from the roots of something, equally, public and private, into wide personal investigations of every institution of human exchange, including the act of reading, which Milwe exposes as an equal identity swamp-filled with the flowing currency of Idea DNA. Salvage is Milwe's barnyard of nuances and metaphors that matter as she explores many of the tender and tough human traffic jams that have since become forbidden zone violations. She writes as if communicating with all of the original Wesleyan University Press Poets at once, as if she can remember her life when it was (simply) substance in egg, packing a lot into small formal spaces. And Salvage proves that the breathing walk of a line, even after it breaks, has a memory. This collection is an on-time vision voice for now! -Thomas Sayers Ellis Cindy Milwe's poems are written from the body, full of blood and sharp as teeth. She writes out of memory and observation, but there is nothing abstract about her vision; it is deeply rooted in the concrete. Whether recalling her childhood on the east coast or her experience as a teacher on the west, she remains ever present, ever at the center, a human in the middle of her life. Read these poems if you want to know what it is to remember-but even more important, if you want to know what it is to feel. -David L. Ulin

"An impressive new volume. . . . Rich's admirers will recognize the complex symbiosis between the activist and the maker of new language, each propelling, describing, provoking the other's words."—Publishers Weekly "Look: with all my fear I'm here with you, trying what it means, to stand fast; what it means to move." In these astonishing new poems, Adrienne Rich dares to look and to extend her poetic language as witness to the treasures—the midnight salvage—we rescue from fear and fragmentation. Rich's work has long challenged social plausibilities built on violence and demoralizing power. In Midnight Salvage, she continues her explorations at the end of the century, trying, as she has said, "to face the terrible with hope, in language as complex as necessary, as communicative as possible—a poetics which can work as antidote to complacency, self-involvement, and despair. I have wanted to assume a theater of voices rather than the restricted I. To write for both readers I know exist and those I can only imagine, finding their own salvaged beauty as I have found mine." "In her vision of warning and her celebration of life, Adrienne Rich is the Blake of American letters."—Nadine Gordimer

The fiction of Nobel Laureate Shmuel Yosef Agnon is the foundation of the array of scholarly essays as seen through the career of Alan Mintz, visionary scholar and professor of Jewish literature at the Jewish Theological Seminary of America. Mintz introduced Agnon's posthumously published Ir Umeloah (A City in Its Fullness)—a series of linked stories set in the 17th century and focused on Agnon's hometown, Buczacz, a town in what is currently western Ukraine—to an English reading audience, and argued that Agnon's unique treatment of Buczacz in A City in its Fullness, navigating the sometimes tenuous boundary of the modernist and the mythical, was a full-throated, self-conscious literary response to the Holocaust. This volume is an extension of a memorial dedicated to Mintz's memory (who died suddenly in 2017) which combines selections of Alan's work from the beginning, middle and end of his career, with autobiographical tributes from older and younger scholars alike. The essays dealing with Agnon and Buczacz remember the career of Alan Mintz and his contribution to the world of Jewish studies and within the world of Jewish communal life.

How do we transform the wreckage of our identities? Cynthia Dewi Oka’s evocative collection answers this question by brimming with what we salvage from our most deep-seated battles. Reflecting the many dimensions of the poet’s life, Salvage manifests an intermixture of aesthetic forms that encompasses multiple social, political, and cultural contexts—leading readers to Bali, Indonesia, to the Pacific Northwest, and to South Jersey and Philadelphia. Throughout it insistently interrogates what it means to reach for our humanity through the guises of nation, race, and gender. Oka’s language transports us through the many bodies of fluid poetics that inhabit our migrating senses and permeate across generations into a personal diaspora. Salvage invites us to be without borders.

Poetry. Bill Morgan's debut poetry collection, THE ART OF SALVAGE, finds value--sometimes even treasure and joy--in unpromising materials. Exploring themes including sexuality and the aging body, the beautiful and jarring intricacies to be found in unlikely corners of the natural world (especially the poet's Central Illinois home), and the vein of gold running amid the quotidian, Morgan attempts to salvage poems from the detritus of the day. But this gold is not easily reclaimed. Salvage demands the poet's trained eye to earn wisdom from loss or recoup delight from a moment's mindfulness. Morgan's poems insist on an honest reckoning and prove what we salvage is never simple or automatic: it is a tireless endeavor of body, mind, and spirit leading to hard- won rewards. This book of poems, born of a sensibility at once keenly precise and easeful, is breathtaking. And breath- making: Bill Morgan knows how to watch intently, how to burrow in and bear down, but he also knows how to listen, how to hold, how to care--for lover, creature, flower, and finally, for self. These poems are huge of heart. Love- swollen. Generous of mind and eye. They don't merely bear witness, share, or innovate; they teach. They teach us how to live. Deeply sensual, THE ART OF SALVAGE models, in line after masterful line, the kind of communion--with other beings, with the natural world, with memory--that makes life truly meaningful. THE ART OF SALVAGE--of rescue, of reclamation--is above all else an art of healing: intimacy at its truest. This is a profoundly courageous, vulnerable, and necessary book.--Kirstin Hotelling Zona, editor, SRPR (Spoon River Poetry Review) In his author note, Bill Morgan says that '[a]t night..., he hunches over a keyboard and tries to salvage poems from the detritus of the day.' Well, he's salvaged a book, refurbishing a pocket watch, restoring the prairie, and bringing his father back to life, all with the quiet, natural perfection of a damaged starfish growing a new limb. These are poems with gravitas and levitas, heavy with knowledge and pain yet willing and able to fly up, singing, an exaltation of skylarks. THE ART OF SALVAGE is a book full of 'intimate gravity, ' and a tough one--as he says of his lady love, 'the genuine article.'--Kathleen Kirk, poetry editor, Escape Into Life 'Where are the songs of Spring? Ay, where are they? / Think not of them, thou hast thy music too, --' If in 'To Autumn' Keats did his part to convey some of that deep, otherworldly and humane music, then in THE ART OF SALVAGE Bill Morgan does his, as well. Morgan presents us with his own landscape of loss, arrived at through the vicissitudes of aging, but he, too, explores feelingly his circumstances, and so locates surprising, vital images and makes powerful, elegiac and celebratory, music. Bend close, reader, and, darkling, listen.--Michael Theune, author of Structure & Surprise: Engaging Poetic Turns From now on, when I'm asked what I want for my birthday, I'm going to say I want Bill Morgan's gifts. I want his ability to root the mystical in the mundane, to find just the right image, the telling detail to carry the metaphor. I want his vision, his ability to see the universal in the personal and to make us all see it and feel it. I want those skills and if I can't have them, at least I can read them again and again. And I will.--Michael Cain, editor, Seventh Dream Press Bill Morgan's poems accompany us on a journey through the rich and mysterious territory of the aging process. These poems address wisdom and tenderness, a path that those of us fortunate to live a long life will all one day have to walk. This is poetry that enlightens, that deepens our awareness of what it means to be human, and most of all, nourishes the soul.--Judith Valente, correspondent, PBS-TV and WGLT Radio

Chronicling sixteenth-century Spain to the present day, Beyond Human aims to decentre the human and acknowledge the material historicity of more-than-human nature. The book explores key questions relating to ecological equity, justice, and responsibility within and beyond Spain in the Anthropocene. Examining relations between Iberian cultural practices, historical developments, and ecological processes, Maryanne L. Leone, Shanna Lino, and the contributors to this volume reveal the structures that uphold and dismantle the non-human–human dichotomy and nature-culture divide. The book critiques works from the Golden Age to the twenty-first century in a wide range of genres, including comedia, royal treatises, agricultural reports, paintings, satirical essays, horror fiction and film, young adult and speculative literature, poetry, graphic novels, and television series. The authors contend that Spanish cultural studies must expose the material historicity that entangles today’s ecological crises and ecosocial injustices with previous, future, and contemporary entities. The book argues that this will require the simultaneous decentring of the human and of the Anthropocene as an ecocritical framework. By standardizing ecosocial analysis and widening avenues for ecopedagogical approaches, Beyond Human participates in the ecocentric transformation of Hispanic cultural studies.
