In The Vultures are Circling, Sharon Waller Knutson invites the reader into her world with brave and buoyant poems revealing the intertwined value of family and nature. "Don't Tell the Kids, He Warns Me" humorously portrays that caring family can be a blessing but also a curse. This clan, like "herd animals," with one text from their father, "skid[s] to a stop and turn[s] around." Her poems about her late family members are especially moving. In "May 22, 2022," she "remove[s]/ all of his pictures from the wall/ and set[s] them in a circle/ like the family sat at the ceremony" to honor her son Ben on the first anniversary of his sudden death. She searches for the picture of "him looking so alive/ . . . / smiling as he stares at [her]." "Naomi and Wynona" is also poignant as she uses her memories of the Judds to mourn her parents who were fans of these singers. Even as the title poem reveals how traumatic Knutson's recent fall was, it still shows her as a survivor "crawling/ on . . . hands and knees, / towards safety," the vultures are more than a rueful metaphor; they are part of the Arizona desert she and her husband inhabit. In other poems, like the charming "Mr. Crow" and "Tis the Season," we see how close to nature the poet and her husband live. Indeed, in "Ultimate Feast," "a buck, / doe and fawn" are guests at their sunset picnic, drinking from "our waterfalls/pond." Similarly, the reader becomes a guest to the world of these wise poems.

Poetry. Women's Studies. Art. Music. SISYPHUSINA is a cross-genre collection of prose, poetry, visual art, and improvisatory music, centered on female aging. Faced with linguistic and literary traditions that lack rich vocabularies to describe female aging, Shira Dentz uses the hybrid form as an attempt to suture new language that reflects internal and physical processes that constitute a shifting identity. By deviating from formal classical construction, and using the recurring image of a rose, SISYPHUSINA circles around conventions of beauty, questioning traditional aesthetic values of continuity, coherence, and symmetry. Some of the book's images are drawn from separate multimedia collaborations between the author and composer Pauline Oliveros, artist Kathy High, and artist Kathline Carr. A musical composition improvised by Pauline Oliveros, based on one of her text scores, titled "Aging Music," is the book's coda, and readers can listen to it online by scanning a QR code inside the book. The interweaving of these collaborations with the author's voice and voices from other sources imbue this book with a porous texture, and reimagines the boundary of the book as a membrane.

In 2010, billions of naira were spent to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Nigeria's independence since 1960. More naira are to be spent in 2014 to commemorate the centenary marking the nation's birth in 1914 from an amalgamation of diverse group of peoples, languages, cultures and expectations. As the conscience of the nation, writers are calling for a deeper introspection. A hundred years after unification, the most populous African nation has oscillated from being great to being fickle, from colony to independence and dependency, from peace to war to ungraceful insecurity, from military dictatorship to civilian oppression and profligacy and much more of the many contradictions of a complex national polity. In this special collection Poems for a Century: An Anthology on Nigeria, poets from different backgrounds, generations and persuasions explore what it means to be a citizen of this unique African country. Shifting from despair to hope, lamentation to happiness, condemnation to adoration and every gamut of sensibilities imaginable, the contributors reiterate the notion of engagement and the power of the written word to push for social change in their beloved nation. In fifty poems, Nigeria becomes the muse not just to raise questions about its past experiences and present contexts, but also to posit aspirations for a better nation.

Acclaimed poet and MacArthur Foundation Fellow, Lucia Perillo, a former park ranger who loved to hike the Cascade Mountains alone and prided herself on daring solo skis down the wild slopes of Mount Rainier, was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis when she was in her thirties. I've Heard the Vultures Singing is a clear-eyed and brazenly outspoken examination of her life as a person with disabilities. In unwavering and witty prose, and without a trace of self-pity, she contemplates the bitter ironies of being unable to walk, what it’s like to experience eros as a sick person, how to lower one’s expectations for a wilderness experience, and how to deal with the vagaries of a disease that has no predictable trajectory. Masterfully written, the essays resonate with lovers of literature and nature, and with anyone who has dealt with disadvantages of the body or the hard-luck limitations of ordinary life.
