“The most recent in a line of great American transcendentalist writers.” —The New York Times

A career-spanning volume drawn from forty years of work and a selection of new poems. Stephen Corey‿s work is intelligent, moving and engaging. Poem after poem is beautiful, effortless, and thought-provoking. The range of style and subject matter, the depth of thought and emotion, the elegance and resonance and simplicity of language, the affectionate voice and tone‿all work to make this a truly important and memorable book. “Here is a life, and a life, and / a life,â€? Stephen Corey writes in the opening poem‿s instructions to on how find the faded leaf‿also a metaphor for the end of life‿that one must imagine still colored after he is “gone.â€? The poem is echoed near the end of this stunningly rich and encompassing book in a poem addressed to his four daughters about what he has missed during his life. In between we encounter a world we thought we knew but have not seen in this way before: things as varied as Monarch butterflies, telephones, calligraphy, and bread, as well as other writers and texts that become lenses to show us “How we are growing undoes what we areâ€? and see. Like the glassblower‿s art in one of these major poems, “Breath makes another world.â€? And like his Michelangelo in a sequence that masterfully covers centuries, we see “the way a life we love can be steered, / beyond our control, beyond us.â€? And so, thanks to this important and needed book we too can live beyond ourselves; that, indeed, is the highest praise for any art.â€?‿Richard Jackson, author of Broken Horizons and Where the Wind Comes From“Stephen Corey‿s, As My Age Then Was, So I Understood Them, is sometimes bookish, in the best ways, and in addition to welcoming many of the stars in our pantheon (Shakespeare, O‿Keeffe, Keats, Ginsberg, Woolf, and Whitman for example) there‿s also the dual elegy for the poet‿s father and Dickinson (the latter also has her own baseball poem), Emerson ‿at the moment of his first masturbation,â€? and a sequence in which Li Po and Tu Fu hop on a jet and tour America. What this means is that when Corey forays into “the real worldâ€? ‿keeping a hospital death watch, exploring and exalting carnal love, or delighting in his young daughter “playing Beethoven on my chestâ€? ‿ the poems are informed by both of his masters‿ by the “shelves of booksâ€? that are “the bones of my brain.â€?â€?‿Albert GoldbarthStephen Corey worked at the Georgia Review for thirty-six years in various positions including thirteen year as Editor before retiring in 2019. His first two poetry collections, The Last Magician (Water Mark Press, 1981) and Synchronized Swimming (Swallow‿s Tale Press, 1984), were winners of national competitions. All These Lands You Call One Country (University of Missouri Press, 1992) and There Is No Finished World (White Pine Press, 2003) followed, and a half-dozen poetry chapbooks were interspersed along the way. His first prose collection was Startled at the Big Sound: Essays Personal, Literary, and Cultural (Mercer University Press, 2017), and a second is in process.

The poems in Aleš Šteger¿s The Book of Bodies roam across personal experience, human history, and the natural world to unlock intellectual and emotional connections.Aleš Šteger¿s The Book of Bodies directly follows¿and builds on and veers from¿The Book of Things. The 50 poems in The Book of Things focus on such everyday objects as umbrellas, chairs, and candles, and in so doing illuminate the human condition, particularly its propensity for violence, deception, and forgetting. The 50 poems in The Book of Bodies manage to be simultaneously more and less restrictive: half the poems are prose poems (of five paragraphs each) that roam across personal experience, human history (individual and collective), and the natural world to unlock intellectual and emotional connections; the other half are narrow stanzaless poems that focus on a single word. These poems have a sinuous, almost vaporous quality on the page¿lines so thin that they serve as a response to the prose that dominates the first half of the book. Both types of poems in The Book of Bodies are essential to Šteger¿s understanding of the world.¿Esteemed American readers, Aleš Šteger is the real thing! He is the poet of inimitable gifts! He is one of the best Eastern European poets of his generation! It is the truth: Šteger is a marvelous voice, one that takes some of the playfulness of his Yugoslavian compatriots Vasko Popa and Tomaž Šalamun to the whole new level.¿¿ Ilya KaminskySlovenian writer Aleš Šteger has published eight books of poetry, three novels, and two books of essays.
