Poetry Comes Up Where It Can: Poems from the Amicus Journal, 1990 - 2000
by Swann, Brian, editor
(University of Utah Press, $12.95, 0874806445)
"You can dip in anywhere and come face-to-face with a clear-eyed, accessible, and luminous encounter in the realm of nature. In this welcoming volume you will find William Stafford on gulls, Wendell Berry up a cedar tree, Philip Booth rescuing a bumblebee, and a generous handful of poems by Mary Oliver. This book will serve as your friend for the backyard, the study, the city, or the forest." - John Willson, Eagle Harbor Book Co., Bainbridge Island, WA

"This first major lesbian and gay poetry anthology in over a decade is an electrifying and distinctive book. Included are well-established writers, such as Olga Broumas, Chrystos, and Joan Larkin, and emerging writers, including those of the spoken-word movement, such as Letta Nely and Justin Chin. There's something for everyone, whether your a poetry aficionado or not. A great book to always have around for inspiration, delight, and pride." - Tova Stabin, Mother Kali's Books, Eugene, OR
