The Pastoral Kitchen by Anna Jackson

October 2001; $19.95

Always original, often witty and elegant, Jackson's work is also serious, thoughtful and ultimately moving. Poems from the familiar domestic world of motherhood and daily existence are followed by a series that moves out of the house and into a world increasingly threatened by environmental destruction.

Porcelain by Diana Bridge

November 2001; $19.95

Fine, wise poems, acute in observation and sensibility, modest. The reader may well have the impression of being in a foreign country and having the good fortune to have hired a particularly fine guide. Diana Bridge's work is a joy to all who discover it.
