The Fifth Generation
The Fifth Generation, contends with what it means to truly belong, as the concentric rings of our commingled existence ripple outward. This is a book of the most tender intimacies, one in which the speaker reminds us that we are not only members of families but also the bound residents of cities, farms, cultures, histories, and nations, that each of us must finally see as home the whole peaceable kingdom. -Kathleen Graber

Pythagore, amoureux | Pythagoras in Love
Rachel Hadas, author of THE GOLDEN ROAD (Northwestern University Press), says: "Lee Slonimsky's beautiful sonnets in PYTHAGORAS IN LOVE are chastened by the consistent austerity of their limits. Yet these restrictions of vocabulary and imagery are also enriching and generative. Elizabeth J. Coleman's elegant French translation, conveying the burnished spareness of the original, sometimes recalls the elemental lyricism of Yves Bonnefoy."

here: poems for the planet
Our planet is in crisis. As readers, publishers, and writers, we ask ourselves: In this pivotal moment, what is our role?
Here: Poems for the Planet answers this question through poetry and a practical guide to activism, inviting readers to become inspired—take in a new breath, and a new perspective—and then take action.
Here begins with a foreword from His Holiness the Dalai Lama, and contains poems from more than 125 voices, including U.S. Poet Laureates, Pulitzer Prize-winners, and youth poets, and HERE culminates in a 37-page guide from the Union of Concerned Scientists. The publication date is Earth Day, 2019
Here will be distributed to every member of Congress, and copies donated copies to programs in need. As editor, I am donating all royalties to the Union of Concerned Scientists.
