“These poems are so generous, so bright and sharp, so funny and winning, they feel immense.” —Paul Guest “Erika Meitner is the new voice of intelligent and emotional poems. Good for poetry. Good for poetry lovers. Good for the rest of us, too.” — Nikki Giovanni Exploring themes of pregnancy, motherhood, ancestry, and life in the borderline slums of Washington, DC, the richly felt and adroit poetry of Erika Meitner’s Ideal Cities moves, mesmerizes, and delights. The work of an important emerging voice in contemporary American poetry—a winner of the 2009 National Poetry Series Prize as selected by Paul Guest—Ideal Cities gloriously perpetuates NPS’s long-standing tradition of promoting exceptional poetry from lesser-known poets.

Andrew Staniland's prose-poem novel "The Weight Of Light (2004)" is a lyrical description of the inner life and spiritual practice of Delphine, a Frenchwoman living in London. It is set entirely in her apartment, like a camera recording the poetry of her daily life, her meditations and spiritual experiences. It is a "new spirituality" novel that is both literary and an honest description of a contemporary spiritual life. Revised edition.

Andrew Staniland's prose-poem novel ?The Beauty Of Psyche (2005)? is a retelling of the Greek myth of Cupid and Psyche as a novel about imagination. The characters are played by actors, against a backdrop of paintings, models and sets. The story at times becomes a series of paintings and sculptures in an exhibition. And many of the references to people, films, theatre and other myths may or may not be imaginary too. Revised edition. Reading this I felt the excitement and pleasure of those long Romantic poems by Keats, Shelley and Byron or even Pope and Milton but it's not ?like? any of them. It is not a modern version of a classic, it is a modern classic... It's a genuine literary work of art. A true contemporary classic. It's beautiful, it's intelligent and I don't imagine I?ll ever read anything like it again.? Cally Phillips, indie e-book review
