Midnights
poetry by Jane Miller
artwork by Beverly Pepper

Saturnalia Books Poet/Artist
Collaboration Series: #4

$16

"An absorbing performance of art taken to the brink. There is nothing prosaic about Midnights. No one is simply cooking carrots; rather all of its parts contribute to a gestalt of living, loving and losing in a reel of feeling that nonetheless attains a bracing lucidity. This is an incandescent text, and Beverly Pepper’s drawings hold its ardor to its mark."

— C.D. Wright

Dummy Fire
by Sarah Vap
Winner of the 2006 Saturnalia Books Poetry Prize Judged by
Forrest Gander

$14.00

"From the verses of gnostic antiquity to Whitman's drawn chorus of lading, from winter wilderness to the dazzling volunteering imagery of her solitary voice, Sarah Vap startles again and again with a quiet, hermetic originality that American poetry has never succesfully supported before—she is brilliant and something entirely new under the sun."

Blackboards
Poetry by Tomaz Salamun
(translated by Michael Biggins)
Artwork by Metka Krasovec
Introduction by John Yau

Sponsored by:



$16

"Here, love, innocence, and longing never subside. The joining of the poems in Blackboards and the images in "Trak" makes perfect sense. For what Salamun's melancholia and Krasovec's sense of longing set in motion is a dance of words and images, of words that evoke images we cannot picture, and images that define a world that cannot be contained in words."
