Just Arrived! The Itinerate Circus – New and Selected Poems 1995-2020
Admin2020-06-25T08:19:42-06:00Like the poetry of Richard Hugo, whom George Looney invokes in so many of his own poems, this is a poetry deeply sad, the landscapes brutal, the images grim. I myself think often of contemporary balladeers such as Richard Thompson and Tom Waits reading this work, turning my mind to all that which we don’t expect art to notice, attend to, mourn and
Just Arrived! The Pears of Budapest
Admin2020-06-25T08:05:56-06:00The Pears of Budapest, casts its spell in many ways… most of all by magic. This collection is an outright enchantment, and these poems—with lines that float, land, and jolt—hold the reader a willing captive to both beauty and disturbing strangeness. This, I contend, is a work of flat-out genius. —Joan Houlihan, Author of Shadow-feast

Admin2020-01-24T20:42:06-07:00How do scientific backgrounds intersect with creativity in the arts, and what emerges from dual immersion in fields with widely varied ways of seeing? As poets from chemistry, physics, engineering, and medicine, we’ll explore questions of process, models, sources, and relationships to language.

Review of Arne Weingart’s UNPRACTICAL THINKING
Admin2020-02-15T00:11:52-07:00Arne Weingart deals in a wisdom born of the quotidian. From doorbells to jeans to caterpillars, in language equal parts sardonic and sublime, he goads us to look at ourselves and consider “whatever we are” in relation to giant subterranean mushrooms, Jimi Hendrix and Mozart, or “the very breath of God.” This may be uncomfortable, he agrees. We may have to accept that we
Miriam Sagan’s BEASTS Review
Admin2020-02-15T00:11:03-07:00Beasts is a book about time—time passing, time cycling, time fossilizing, time writing itself on the human imagination. Such a scope might crumble in a lesser poet’s hands, but Sagan’s touch is dependably deft and fresh. Here are poems woven of high and low, shadow and light, visible and invisible, human and other-than. Tuned to the resonant universe, they touch us deeply. —Anne Valley-Fox,

His remarkable gifts for storytelling offer a natural, moving celebration of that passing world. His voice is strong, knowing and —above all— unaffectedly human.
