"Poetry has a long
and living history
in Cleveland,
Ohio, and this
examination of its
past through the
lens of its vibrant
present
is a treasure in
and of itself.
They're all here,
the great ones
who showed the
way: Langston
Hughes,
d.a.levy, Alberta
Turner,
Robert Wallace,
Daniel Thompson.
They set the bar
pretty high. But as
the editors
demonstrate, their
sons and daughters
carry on, bringing
the word to the
city's streets and
universities,

"This anthology, Evensong, is a celebration of the rich spiritual tapestry that is contemporary American religious
experience. If this book is flawed recall that to be spiritual is to have faith even when one doubts, to see the flaws yet find
belief. "When I write poetry, I try to give myself over to the sublime, to that which is great within, to that which knows what I
don’t know I know. When I participate in the writing life, I try to be giving to that which has given to me. And, let’s face it,
being a poet in America sometimes feels like taking a vow of poverty! But it also provides a community of others who share
a belief in the power of poetry to be redemptive, to change the moral, emotional or spiritual landscapes if only for a brief
moment. "Please consider this anthology a meeting house: not everyone has shown up to services, but they’re all here in
spirit."

| 120 Charles Street: The Village Journals & Writings 1949-1950 |
| Holly Beye's new book of Journals and Writing |
Holly Beye’s journals are a remarkable
record of a period long gone—post-World
War II in the “Village,” New York City’s
downtown enclave of artists, sculptors,
writers, musicians and playwrights.... It was
a time when the entire Village was your
neighbor, a cauldron of hopefuls pulsing
with the life and determination that would
produce a generation of creative artists.
You could walk anywhere, and usually did
because it was cheaper...and all New York
was a neighborhood....

Because this is a journal, written
day-by-day, it has an immediacy,
a sense of being there, of sharing
in the daily struggle to make ends
meet while being part of the flow
of kindness, fun, courage,
rebellion and intense creativity that
marked that time and place....We
are fortunate these lively,
perceptive journals survived, along
with their writer.

Kryss
Tom (T.L.) Kryss is an outsider's outsider and as sweet a poet as
I've ever encountered. He was part of the Cleveland poetry scene in
the Sixties that had d.a. levy as its catalyst and got hammered hard by
the police…What Tom Kryss does, more than any poet I know, is
strip away excess and cut to the bone. He staked out a modest turf
and then hunkered down and stayed there. He has not squandered
time and blurred his focus chasing down publishers and polishing his
image. So that what he writes is unencumbered and fraught with the
particular, which is the unique, which is the only way to get a handle
on the universal. What he writes always gives you something and
never takes anything away.

Poet, critic, member of rock group The Fugs, and
political activist Ed Sanders remembers d.a.levy and the
1960s Mimeograph Revolution. This is a telling
chronicle of those times of underground publishing,
coffeehouse readings, and clashes with the authorities.
Sanders ends with a tribute poem for martyred friend, d.

above/harsh Cleveland./ It may take centuries/ to sort
him out/ It often does/ with poets/ The issues of/
economic justice/ and personal freedom/ which wore
out the good bard levy/ have not yet/ been addressed/

Buddhadharma
magazine (winter 2004):
America Zen: A Gathering of Poets (Bottom Dog Press, 2004) features the work
of thirty Zen-inspired poets, from veterans Seido Ray Ronci, Jane Hirshfield and
Andrew Schelling to newer faces on the scene, such as Shin Yu Pai and Paul Skyrm.
Editors Larry Smith and Ray McNiece include a selection of four or five poems by
each contributor, a biographical sketch and a personal statement from the author about
his or her relationship to Zen Practice. The poems, with titles like “on the galloping
cusp of the new now” and “Old Monks Drinking” are evocative and witty, often filled
with a sense of the poignancy and sensuality of the present moment. The introduction
provides a brief overview of Zen Buddhism in America and describes the American
Zen poetry as a movement of poets—beginning with the Beats—who experimented
with a Japanese aesthetic and were inspired by Buddhist truths.

| “Ray McNiece is a born poet and born performer .... Ray has many sparks to share with those longing for that fire.” -Yevgeny Yevtushenko, Poet- Laurete of Russia |
| “From Venice, Italy to Venice, California, there’s one poet who dares control the road — Ray McNeice puts pedal to metal, ink to papyrus, mouth to ear. In the Super Heroes of Poetry, he’s Power Man, able to blast meaning at unsuspecting audiences from around the corner and around the globe. Heed him!” -Bob Holman Ray McNiece Homepage Harmony Series ISBN 0-933087-85-3 124 pgs. $12.00 |

Larry Smith’s A
River Remains
embodies the
waterway of its title:
in these poems the
world is at once
evanescent and
permanent, always
changing,
yet always there. A
collection of large scope
built mostly from brief
lyrics, narratives and
meditations, it stands as the
most compelling work from
an already distinguished
career. Published by
WordTech
Communications.

"A River Remains is Larry Smith's most
ambitious book, and his most rewarding; I
suspect readers will develop loyalties to
particular sections of the book and return to
the poems in those sections again and again.
Those new to Smith's work will discover the
talent, skill, and insight of one of the wise
elders of Ohio's poetic tribe, and those who
know, and have known, Smith's work will
recognize this for wat it is--his finest book
yet." Robert Miltner, Ohioana Quarterly
(January 2007)

The
Lecture on
Dust:
Poems
by Brooke
Horvath
"Brooke Horvath is a cosmologist
of moments, one who maps the
meteor showers in the night sky and
also in a child's unguarded eye.
Upon his maps, we may read the
farewell greeting of all things real
and near, imagined and far: 'nothing
is ever wasted/although nothing
lasts.' If these poems were not so
beautifully made, they'd be the end
of the world. Thank heaven, they
are."

Pennyweight Windows: Selected

“Through the opening poems of loss and anguish, to the
final more objective pieces where ‘the moon [still]
gladdens. . .in a sin-sick world,’ Brooke Horvath leads
us by his frayed yet resilient hope. Separation, lost
love, a difficult fatherhood, death behind him and
ahead, here's a man standing in his suburban garden
who plants only what ‘does its growing underground’
because he needs to know possibility does exist, if
only ‘beneath me / fretfully, unseen.’ The collection is
deeply felt. The ‘Shoshaku Jushaku’ series is simply
wonderful!" -Alice Friman, author of Inverted Fire

"Lecture on Dust is in good
part an exploration of the
triumph of love and
companionship, but it’s much
more than ‘All you need
is.....’ ‘What the hell’s the
deal with serenity anyway?’
the poet exclaims in his
extended work, ‘Shoshaku
Jushaku.’ Indeed, what’s the
deal? The deal is that poetry
is the ultimate exploration.”
