Driving
One Hundred
by Barbara Drake
“Barbara Drake’s witty humor,
appreciated over the years by many readers, seeps joyfully into
these pages. But that’s not all. There’s the ever-accurate
observation of birds and the natural world, brought vividly into
the reader’s imagination; and the startling and beautiful
images: I’m left with a red horse standing chest high in
a marsh. Underneath the well-honed poetic voice, stretches a bedrock
of wisdom gained from looking squarely at the world around her
and at the passing of years in a life well examined.” —Judith

The
Turn: Poems and Reflections 1987-1997
by Bill Siverly
"The Turn"—die
Wende—refers to November 1989, when the Berlin Wall
came down. The pieces in this book were written in light of that
upwelling of sprit, when old political tensions were passing from
the scene and something new was going on, a transition of hope
rising. They also concern a ten-year period, 1987-1997, a longer,
slower turn of the wheel in Germany—and elsewhere in Europe—at
levels both personal and politcal, towards the process of reunification.
Now, on the 20th anniversary of the events in the book, the questions
raised are just as pertinent.

Clearwater
Way: Poems
by Bill Siverly
Clearwater
Way is a journey from the Washington Coast, up the Columbia,
Snake, and Clearwater rivers, through Lewiston (my hometown),
and into the woods of north Idaho. In personal terms it represents
a journey back in time to my childhood in the 1950s and '60s.
The inspiration to make this book a journey upriver came from
the Wasco myth cycle about Coyote, who, starting at the mouth
of the Columbia, created land forms, resources, and cultural practices
as far as Lapwai, Idaho. Clearwater Way evokes
this landscape. Some places within it can no longer be found except
in the deeper layers of memory and the unconscious, and in the
poetry that draws them back and gives them life and the past regained.
Other places remain as present as rivers and mountains themselves,
the resonance of their being echoing through our lives and in
these poems.—Bill Siverly
