Tide and Continuities


Book Description

Peter Viereck's career has been an ongoing experiment in the symbiosis of poetry and history. Tide and Continuities is the embodiment and culmination of that career. It includes many new poems, never before published, and work--some with stunning revisions--from books as recent as his 1987 epic, Archer in the Marrow: The Applewood Cycles, and as early as his 1948 Pulitzer Prize-winning collection, Terror and Decorum. Tide and Continuties is the revelation of a great American poet.




Against the Tide of Years


Book Description

“STIRLING HAS SURPASSED HIS PREVIOUS WORK,” raved Science Fiction Chronicle of his bestselling novel Island in the Sea of Time, and George R. R. Martin hailed it as “an utterly engaging account of what happens when the isle of Nantucket is whisked back into the Bronze Age.” Now, the adventure continues... In the years since the Event, the Republic of Nantucket has done its best to recreate the better ideas of the modern age. But the evils of its time resurface in the person of William Walker, renegade Coast Guard officer, who is busy building an empire for himself based on conquest by technology. When Walker reaches Greece and recruits several of their greater kinglets to his cause, the people of Nantucket have no choice. If they are to save the primitive world from being plunged into bloodshed on a twentieth-century scale, they must defeat Walker at his own game: war.

Waiting for High Tide


Book Description

For one young boy, it’s a perfect summer day to spend at the beach with his family. He scours the high tide line for treasures, listens to the swizzling sound of barnacles, and practices walking the plank. But mostly he waits for high tide. Then he’ll be able to swim and dive off the log raft his family is building. While he waits, sea birds and other creatures mirror the family’s behaviors: building and hunting, wading and eating. At long last the tide arrives, and human and animal alike savor the water. Another beautiful ode to life lived in harmony with nature, and by the labor of one’s own hands, from an artist of great warmth and clarity.




CONTINUITY


Book Description

C. N. Cantelon is not, as one publisher reported, a female Buddhist guru, living on top of a Tibetan mountain. In fact, C. N. Cantelon is a man in his mid-sixties, living on the outskirts of Seattle, and caring for his 93-year-old mother-in-law and 3-year-old grandson. He has been writing since the 1960’s, primarily poetry and short prose. C. N. stands for Charles Norton, but he often uses the nom de plume, T. C. Worthe, which name was first used on poems and quips posted on the student message board at Lewis and Clark College, in the late sixties. Charles took creative writing classes at Lewis and Clark from William Stafford, Vern Rutsala and James Liddy, among others. His poems have been published, over the years, in many magazines and anthologies, but this is the first book of his collected poems. Hopefully, more will follow, both prose and poetry.
