Book Description
La Chambre sous le saule, est, selon le mot de son auteure, une sorte de « poésifiction » : forme en prose fragmentée, langue volontairement fluide. Ce qui y est à l'œuvre et que l’auteure nomme le don d’instase est magique, chamanique. C’est quand tout concorde un instant. Réceptivité à la nature, aux bêtes, aux sensations, au surnaturel, à l’esprit du monde; joie d’habiter et recueillement sont les maîtres mots. Mais la contrepartie du don est sombre et cherche à tout gâcher. L’auteure écrit dans cette tension. « C’est du décousu main, et en même temps, dès le titre, prosodique ("La chambre sous le saule"), iambe et anapeste nous sont promis, comme jadis et naguère par “la mort / des amants” », écrit Michel Deguy.

Book Description
Johanne and Knud lived close to the town of Kjöge, where there are many gardens that extend as far as the river. There is not much else, but it is charming in summer! It was under the willow-tree in one of these gardens that Johanne and Knud spent a great deal of their time and theirs was a beautiful friendship. But everything would change when Johanne had to leave for Copenhagen with her father! Would they remain friends? Or even, as Knud hoped, could they become more than friends? Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875) was a Danish author, poet and artist. Celebrated for children’s literature, his most cherished fairy tales include "The Emperor's New Clothes", "The Little Mermaid", "The Nightingale", "The Steadfast Tin Soldier", "The Snow Queen", "The Ugly Duckling" and "The Little Match Girl". His books have been translated into every living language, and today there is no child or adult that has not met Andersen's whimsical characters. His fairy tales have been adapted to stage and screen countless times, most notably by Disney with the animated films "The Little Mermaid" in 1989 and "Frozen", which is loosely based on "The Snow Queen", in 2013. Thanks to Andersen's contribution to children's literature, his birth date, April 2, is celebrated as International Children's Book Day.

Book Description
Pears on a Willow Tree is a multigenerational roadmap of love and hate, distance and closeness, and the lure of roots that both bind and sustain us all. The Marchewka women are inseparable. They relish the joys of family gatherings; from preparing traditional holiday meals to organizing a wedding in which each of them is given a specific task -- whether it's sewing the bridal gown or preserving pickles as a gift to the newlyweds. Bound together by recipes, reminiscences and tangled relationships, these women are the foundation of a dignified, compassionate family--one that has learned to survive the hardships of emigration and assimilation in twentieth-century America. But as the century evolves, so does each succeeding generation. As the older women keep a tight hold on the family traditions passed from mother to daughter, the younger women are dealing with more modern problems, wounds not easily healed by the advice of a local priest or a kind word from mother. Amy is separated by four generations from her great-grandmother Rose, who emigrated from Poland. Rose's daughter Helen adjusted to the family's new home in a way her mother never could, while at the same time accepting the importance of Old Country ways. But Helen's daughter Ginger finds herself suffocating within the close-knit family, the first Marchewka woman to leave Detroit for the adventure of life beyond the reach of her mother and grandmother. It's in the American West that Giner raises her daughter Amy, uprooted from the safety of kitchens perfuned by the aroma of freshly baked poppy seed cake and pierogi made by hand by generations of women. But Amy is about to realize that there may be room in her heart for both the Old World and the New.

Book Description
A small white European building is located in the western part of the French Concession. No one knows when or who built this little house, and the old people who live around here say that it was there from the moment they could remember.The owners of the houses changed several times, all moving away for some unknown reason. In the end, they became ownerless houses, and after a while, there were rumors of ghosts. This foreign building slowly became a 'haunted house'.Until five years ago, a girl with a white umbrella was seen lugging heavy luggage inside, but no one had seen her leave the building. At night, it was even darker inside the building. Only the faint sounds of the piano could be heard occasionally during the day ...Since then, no one dared to approach this place.

Book Description
I found that the challenge of precisely recording my dreams over the past fifteen years prompted the need to find a poetic language adequate to the actual encounters in the dream. (This is very different from making a smooth narrative or inter -pretation that ends up obscuring the dream). The challenge is to feel the image and then let the words arise from a deep enough place to respond. I found that certain nights or early mornings as I slipped out of dream-mind to record a dream, I felt an impulse to write a poem instead. And that is how Yonder (my first book in this series of works of mine) and now Dream Logic was born. I was still engaged with images moving in me, but now they were entering the space of the page, or more precisely, the space of the iPhone “notes.” Although awake, I was also still writing in the perfume of the dream, and carried along by that feeling, the language arose often full of imagery and eliding any secular logic.

Book Description
A startlingly direct, clear look at daily experience, including the graceful changes of direction in consciousness. At once a spiritual journal and a pared down writing that arises, in part, from years of Zen meditation, Lazer’s book continues an American tradition of spiritual accounting: the sacred, the holy, and the mysterious emerging from daily experience. These poems have an inviting simplicity to them. They are poems that reward re-reading. Hank Lazer is the author of thirty books of poetry—most recently Slowly Becoming Awake (N32)—and three volumes of essays. His poems have been translated into French, Chinese, Italian, and Spanish.
