In Out of Town, “memory and repetition drive Lex Runciman’s
moral investigations of a world —our world—which he suspects may
be an inappropriate place to investigate morally. But what other world
is there?”

“This is how poetry should feel—a
community of warm, inviting voices,
a circle well-spoken, fierly-lit friends. ... Bravo to Cloudbank
Books for sharing these voices—and to Oregon, that sacred domain.”

“The intelligence, the imagination, the quick humor in
Solar Prominence all point in the same direction:
toward the poem as a made thing, a thing of light, crafted, the
way craft, through its various art, transforms the generalities
into the specifics of magic.”

“Spiders, sow bugs, aphids, house flies, cabbage moths, stinging nettles—not
to mention beans, peach pits, and the pockets of warm air lingering under
willows—Goodrich's concern for all of nature, including us, is extraordinary,
and absolutely genuine.”

“Chris Anderson's My Problem with the Truth is a
book of largess and celebration. Its poems rise out of a quality
of attention—to feeling, thought, and, above all, language—that
both prompts and invites similar focus, similar absorption, from
readers.”
—Lex Runciman

“Peter Sears’ Tour is a delight—from the watercolor
blushes for loved ones, through the Monty Python self-conversations
in emergencies, up to Sears’ copping a feel off the ineffable.”

China Basin
Clemens Starck
"I have been crazy about Clem Starck's poetry ever since I read it
a few years ago while picking him as the winner of the Oregon Book Award.
I'm not alone in particularly cherishing poems by people who work with
their hands. Carpenters, printers and factory workers are a fresh and
vital antidote to the myriad of academic poets. Cheers for Clem!"
