A writer of moral gravity, her distilled attentiveness presses against our all-too-common ambivalence and detachment from the ordinary world. Whether set in Mississippi, California, the Ozarks, or France, the poems in The Bones of Winter Birdsexhibit an abundance of compassion and civility. A ..." |

 | | The Crafty Poet II A Portable Workshop by Diane Lockward 327 Pages, Published 2017 by Terrapin Books ISBN-13: 978-0-9976666-7-0, ISBN: 0-9976666-7-6 "—Martha Silano Every poem's title is like a handshake, your first chance at making a strong impression. An editor friend often confides in me about poems that cross her desk titled “Rain” and “Insect.” Poems with bland and uninspiring titles like these just don't demand to be read. Not one bit. But a poem with a title like “The Gargantuan Muffin Beauty Contest”—who could resist? Here are a few ideas for how to extend a hand to your ..." |
 | | The Uneaten Carrots of Atonement by Diane Lockward Paperback, 116 Pages, Published 2016 by Wind Books ISBN-13: 978-0-9969871-1-0, ISBN: 0-9969871-1-8 "Diane Lockward, more than any other poet now writing, exemplifies Garcia Lorca's definition of poet as the professor of the five bodily senses. She revels in sensory language, often lip-smacking language, and she can make the language of terror and loss as spine-tingling as the beauty of a last stab of sunset before it disappears. The Uneaten Carrots of Atonement, with its cryptic title, invites us to join her in nothing less than a poe ..." |

When, 'In Losing the Blues,' she writes, 'I could burn / the hands off a man,' you have no doubt that she is singing a true song." --- Kim Addonizio" |
 | | Sugar Fix by Kory Wells, Diane Lockward Paperback, 118 Pages, Published 2019 by Terrapin Books ISBN-13: 978-1-947896-21-5, ISBN: 1-947896-21-0 "The subjects of poetry are the same: love and loss, sex and death and grief, family in all its permutations and complications. The differences are in the telling, and Kory Wells is a powerful teller. Her poems are as layered and dense as her grandmother's Red Velvet cake. What is it, she asks, that makes us want to swallow // a story whole? To think // only one version can be true? With a clear eye, she confronts the paradoxes that gend ..." |

In this inspired collection, poet and editor Diane Lockward has assembled over 100 poems about kisses written by many of our best contemporary poets. You'll find kisses longed for, kisses auditioned, kisses rehearsed. Ritualistic kissing. Delicious kissing. Kissing that comforts the grieving. Kissing that blesses a union ...

 | | The Honey of Earth by David Graham, Diane Lockward Paperback, 92 Pages, Published 2019 by Terrapin Books ISBN-13: 978-1-947896-19-2, ISBN: 1-947896-19-9 "How can I--or anyone--not adore David Graham's new collection? The tone throughout is hospitable, wry, and affirming even while acknowledging that loss and suffering are ever present. The honey of earth "comes and goes at once," Wallace Stevens wrote, and these poems embody that paradox in vivid detail and compelling language. The sweetness that life offers--love, art, music, family, nature--exists simultaneously with the bitterness it ..." |
 | | The Davids Inside David by Sarah Wetzel, Diane Lockward Paperback, 116 Pages, Published 2019 by Terrapin Books ISBN-13: 978-1-947896-15-4, ISBN: 1-947896-15-6 "Sarah Wetzel's vulnerable and intimate lyrical gestures inhabit the delicate space between this world and the world to come, between one century, one moment, and the next. Their verbs gather ghostly bodies in Rome and Tuscany, in Georgia and New York; every object they encounter becomes a sacred door. This is a memoir of a woman who moves through art as through the world, who moves through the world as through an ever changeful museum o ..." |
 | | The Infinite Doctrine of Water (Terrapin Poetry) by Michael T. Young, Diane Lockward Paperback, 96 Pages, Published 2018 by Terrapin Books ISBN-13: 978-1-947896-01-7, ISBN: 1-947896-01-6 "The gorgeous poems of Michael T. Young's The Infinite Doctrine of Water offer the rewards of deep reflection. The poet's sharp eye and attentive ear capture the delicate light and shadow of urban life and personal memory. New York and Jersey City provide the backdrop for subtle yet incisive meditations, as when "Devotional" portrays the Belt Parkway's approach to the Verrazano Bridge through a vivid moment of grace where "ranks of waves ..." |
 | | Aileron (Terrapin Poetry) by Geraldine Connolly, Diane Lockward Paperback, 102 Pages, Published 2018 by Terrapin Books ISBN-13: 978-0-9982159-9-0, ISBN: 0-9982159-9-6 "Open this book at random and find a trove of thrilling images and unexpected metaphors: tiny bells jingling like sins, "a cool lake of indifference," "an impossible wheel of hunger." Read this book beginning to end and discover a dark trajectory, the work required to integrate one's family of origin with a wider consciousness and responsibility. As have those in Geraldine Connolly's previous books, these poems fly. But equipped with the ..." |
 | | Suspension (Terrapin Poetry) by Paige Riehl, Diane Lockward Paperback, 100 Pages, Published 2018 by Terrapin Books ISBN-13: 978-1-947896-03-1, ISBN: 1-947896-03-2 "Suspension is that rare book of poetry, as much a narrative as a collection of individually successful lyrics. We follow here the extraordinary events of a life and the visions of the one/the many living it. We end, as in life, so far from where we began that a true sense of progress is made in the reading of this poetry, and yet we've lingered, meditated, listened, because this is work made mostly of imagery and music, subtlety and unf ..." |
 | | No Such Thing as Distance (Terrapin Poetry) by Karen Paul Holmes, Diane Lockward Paperback, 102 Pages, Published 2018 by Terrapin Books ISBN-13: 978-0-9982159-7-6, ISBN: 0-9982159-7-X "What marvelous poems these are, and how complete a collection. Like a circus aerialist who makes us gasp one moment and laugh the next, the poet takes us from her immigrant father's Macedonian roots to her own maturity, to the life of a woman who is smart and well-read yet knows her way around a Coney Island hot dog and finds the attentions of a drunk cowboy oddly flattering. There are so many good poems here that it's hard to pick a fa ..." |
