Night & Sleep
Bly/Barks

Seventeen poems of Rumi, a 13th-century Persian mystic, in English versions by Robert Bly and Coleman Barks. These poems express a longing for the "Mystical Friend," a spiritual guide, or brother. "When Things are Heard" from the collection is featured on Keith Jarrett's double album, Invocations and The Moth and the Flame on ECM Records.  "The two men have been able to get their styles and personalities out of the way, and there is not one flat or disappointing poem in the collection. A translation so that you are unaware of the translator! A rare treasure." - Del Marie Rogers

Who Is the Widow's Muse?
Ruth Stone

The 52 poems in this outstanding new collection form a cycle that explores the grief and loneliness epitomized by "the widow" but shared by all. As with all her work, the poems are written with a candor and honesty that is refreshingly wild, even a little mad. The poems are illuminated with seven illustrations by Phoebe Stone, Ruth's daughter.  "The old humor and pain are here, but in a crazy crystalline form. A notice should be placed on the book: not for widows only! Anyone can feel what she's saying." - Sally Fiedler
