Descripción Hardcover. Condición: Very good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very good. First Edition. Inscribed on the front end paper. Inscription reads" To Larry with Brendan-- Who were there at the outset; whose generosity, hospitality, illumined the table, the lamp in the window, the sense of creative community, and may even have illumined some poems on the page. All Affection. Ever Sunny November 1997. Also signed Sandra Stone on the title page. Includes The Mouth and Other Forms of Gravity; Cocktails with Brueghel at the Museum Cafe; My Artifacts, My Children, My Parents, and My Books; The Woman with a List; and Ruminations on Concave Water. Sandra Stone (April 4, 1934 - February 27, 2018) was an Oregon-based visual and conceptual artist as well as a poet, playwright and author of literary fiction and nonfiction. Sandra Stone has received more than 35 commissions from major architectural firms to create art for both public interiors and the landscape. She describes her work as "creating metaphor for space through architectural concepts, context, and literary text." She was awarded fellowships from Bread Loaf, Virginia Center for the Creative Arts, and Literary Arts Inc. In 2007 her writing won the Dana Award in Poetry. Her 1997 collection of poetry, Cocktails with Brueghel at the Museum Café, was selected as the winner of a national manuscript competition. In 1998 Stone's book won the Oregon Literary Arts Book Award. Her work has appeared in The Hudson Review, The New Republic, International Poetry Review, JAMA, The Midwest Quarterly, Denver Quarterly, The Southwest Review, and elsewhere. This is CSU Poetry Series LI. Here is a real discovery -- the secret book like the secret room one dreams about. Sandra Stone's is that rare original voice which seems to come from an awareness so unusual it can't help but be true to itself, its only real model. Brought to light out of a mother lode of language, Sandra Stone's poems create impressions, never merely receive them. This is generous and vibrant poetry. -- Sandra McPherson. *Winner of the Literary Arts Book Award*. *Winner of the CSU Poetry Series Annual Award*. The Cleveland State University Poetry Center is a literary small press and poetry outreach organization in Cleveland, Ohio, operated under the auspices of the English Department at Cleveland State University. It publishes original works of poetry by contemporary writers, though it also publishes novellas, essay collections, and occasional works of criticism or translated poetry collections. It was founded in 1962 by poet Lewis Turco at what was then Fenn College, attained its present name two years later when Fenn College was absorbed into the newly founded Cleveland State University, and began publishing books in 1971. From 2007 to 2012 its Director and Series Editor was poet and professor Michael Dumanis. From 2014, its Director and Series Editor is the poet and professor Caryl Pagel. The Poetry Center has retained its focus on publishing collections of contemporary poetry by established and emerging authors, while preserving its original legacy of providing educational outreach to the literary community of Northeast Ohio and maintaining a regular poetry reading series which now brings an average of fifteen poets a year from across the country to give public readings at Cleveland State University. The Poetry Center is committed to acquiring, through first-book and open-book competitions, stylistically distinctive and skillfully crafted collections from an aesthetically diverse range of authors.
