Poetry. In this follow-up collection to the National Poetry Series winner A Hummock in the Malookas, Rohrer's poems play against convention, finding dark, surreal underpinnings in the seemingly innocent objects and experiences of everyday life. Direct, humorous and disquieting, SATELLITE demonstrates the unique sensibility of this important young poet. "The surface ease and playfulness of these poems belie their seriousness. In language as clean and surprising as that of dreams, they skate out onto the thin ice of consciousness. Actually, as my grandmother would have put it, they don't skate on thin ice; they skate on cold water. They're smart, inventive, and sneakily profound"--Chase Twichell.

Poetry. In the introduction to OUBLIETTE, Peter Richards's first book of poetry, Tomaz Salamun writes, It is inscrutable how Peter Richards produces this religious magma and bathes himself and us in it. How he restores internal time to the work of art. I don't know and I don't want to tell you about it. Get wet by yourself. Dara Wier says about OUBLIETTE, I love to read a book approaching tragedy without recourse to literal analogy. Peter Richards' poems hesitate to simplify and they get close to knowing, thus they nearly push me over the edge, then they say, don't go, not yet. They electrify the mortal story that goes - there's only one way in, one way out of this world. And then these tender poems say, let's go everywhere, maybe there's another world.
