Winner of the 2007 FIELD Poetry prize, poems on recovery from injury, materialism, aging, love, and death

Winner of the 2006 FIELD Poetry Prize, Red Studio is a collection of startling lyricism, vivid sensuality, and keen precision. Cornish's poems tell about life and art and their interdependence. They are fierce, funny, and filled with a love of the world that acknowledges candidly how precarious it is--or rather, how brief our time in it must be.

Jean Gallagher's first book of poems, This Minute, received the Poets Out Loud Prize and was published by Fordham University Press. Her second book, Stubborn, was selected from over 450 entries as the ninth winner of the annual FIELD Poetry Prize. David Young, one of the judges, had this to say about it: "In Stubborn Jean Gallagher teaches us new ways of seeing--medieval paintings, for instance--and new ways of thinking: about the infinite, about holiness and terror and vision and loss. She does this with a kind of casual precision, a musical and imaginative daring that is both breathtaking and yet somehow matter-of-fact. As if taking the tops of our heads off or throwing open sudden doorways to timelessness were the most natural activity in the world. Her command of her art is remarkable, and readers will not want to put down this book once they have started to encounter it. It shines with power and crackles with excitement."

Already one of America's most admired poets, Beckian Fritz Goldberg joins the FIELD Poetry Series as the winner of our annual poetry prize with her brilliant new collection.

Williams handles big concerns--faith, hurricanes, history, the conundrum of the body--with sly humor, assurance, and poise, instantly establishing himself as a mature and memorable presence.

Winner of the 2011 FIELD Poetry Prize. "Like the seventeenth-century Dutch painters who divided the space of their framed canvases into repeated geometries of rectangles and squares and light, Mark Neely writes poems that play four-square with poetry and with the heart. And like those Dutch interiors, his poems are at once intimate and timeless." Angie Estes

Start, Jean Gallagher's third full-length collection, turns to the world of Greek mythology, using the figures of Demeter and Persephone to explore the mysteries of motherhood, loss, grief, and renewal. Her brilliant concision and riveting music bring the ancient narrative sharply into the present, transforming it to a vision that feels thrillingly contemporary and personal.

These poems attend to the intricacies of intimacy--with the self, the beloved, the natural world, the divine
