This collection of lyric poems wrestles with a sense of self that has become fragmented by the experience of war. Christopher P. Collins has taken his tours in the Afghanistan and Iraq wars, extracted their emotional shrapnel, and examined their toll on his civilian life. He considers the two sides of himself that have been wrought in these parallel lives. One is the self of the citizen-soldier, and the other is the self of the husband and father. His poems reveal the brutal ways in which these selves collide and bleed into one another.

The years 1921 to 1927 were the most productive of Robinson Jefferss career. During this period, he wrote not only many of his most well-known lyric poems but also Tamar, The Tower Beyond Tragedy, Roan Stallion, and The Women at Point Sur-the long poems that first established his reputation as a major American poet. Including an introduction, chronology, and critical afterword, The Point Alma Venus Manuscripts presented here gather Jefferss four unfinished but substantial preliminary attempts at what became The Women at Point Sur, which Jeffers believed was the most inclusive, and poetically the most intense of his narrative poems.

That collection, One by One, The Stars, presents new, highly personal essays tracing Stuckey-Frenchs childhood in Indiana and a burgeoning interest, during adolescence, in politics and social justice to his life as a father, teacher, and writer.

"In his second collection, Christopher Kondrich asks how and why we place value and meaning on lifes intangibles. Valuing questions the origination of ones value system through deeply personal poems that explore faith, love, ethics, and mortality. As they strive for presence and understanding, the poems in Valuing remind us, as one speaker proclaims, "you cannot sneak through your life."--Back cover.
