Reading from
CONDITIONAL PERFECT Emily Cullen travels the veins of being both artist and
mother in an increasingly technological landscape, from the sublime mundanity
of ordinary life, to the legacy and beauty of the harp; in AH, MEN!, Simon
Lewis explores what it means to be a man in a culture where roles and
expectations have shifted, with poems that speak of a desire to connect and its
frustrations, of relationships with friends and family, and the small
ministries of love; soldier-poet Michael J. Whelan reveals the personal losses
and futility of war in RULES OF ENGAGEMENT, which visits past conflicts and
current bloodshed, rich also with a revelatory beauty in nature. From music, to
encounter, to peace, these three distinct voices talk of their intimate
experience of the world, and reach to the heart of things.
