The Color of Mesabi Bones: Poems and Prose Poems

John Caddy

A collection of poems and prose poems rooted in the Mesabi Iron Range of Minnesota. Through recurring symbolic figures—the Giant, the child, and the boy—Caddy transforms the everyday relationship between father and son into something approaching myth. Vivid memories of growing up in a mining town, close observations of nature, and intimate family scenes accumulate into a meditation on what it means to belong to a place.

Really Reading Gertrude Stein: A Selected Anthology

Gertrude Stein, Judy Grahn

A selected anthology of Gertrude Stein's poetry, fiction, and drama, compiled and introduced by poet and activist Judy Grahn. Organized in three sections, each prefaced by one of Grahn's essays, the book serves as a practical primer for readers who find Stein's work daunting. Grahn offers concrete reading strategies — reading aloud, suspending judgment — and draws on lesser-known Stein pieces, including 'Marguerite, or A Novel of High Life,' to illuminate how Stein distinguished between identity and essence. The approach is personal and intuitive rather than academic, making this an accessible entry point for newcomers to Stein's modernist world.

University student Fin Torrent goes to work in this remote country during his summer holidays, drawn into the land's myths and mysteries. Part whodunit, part psychological thriller, part magical fantasy, the novel charts the rises and falls of the Cleaver farming family against a landscape of extraordinary power and menace.
