FREDERICK SMOCK'S
THE BOUNTEOUS WORLD
New Poems
"...spare and wise poems...." The New Yorker
"Each poem in this book creates a blaze of clarity,
intensifies a moment of insight: evening sun climbing
a bookshelf, lichen feasting on a tree trunk, a
window looking down into a courtyard or up into
blue sky. Like the ophthalmologist’s just-right lens,
Smock’s poems bring the blurry world into focus so
that sight and insight become Vision, revealing our
world’s bounty, helping us see, doing the real work
of poetry.
Jane Gentry, Kentucky Poet Laureate
2007-2009
Frederick Smock returns with a new volume of his
elegant and refined verse. Much of this new
collection is informed by his immersion in the
literature and culture of Scandinavia; but even if the
setting is new, he reminds us again that the human
heart is the same across climes and times, and that
our common humanity will triumph over our
divisions if we will give it the chance.
Paperback, 72 pages

STEVEN R. COPE
SELECTED POEMS
With an Introduction by Mary Ann Taylor-Hall
"Steven Cope is one of the best poets we have, and
I’m not talking about just in Kentucky. Not very
many people have noticed. I hope they will now,
with this presentation of the work he’s done over
the past decade or so." Mary Ann Taylor-Hall
Coming soon from Broadstone Books, this is a
powerful and exquisitely selected compilation of the
best work from one of the hidden treasures of
Kentucky letters, an author who is himself as much
a force of nature as the world he describes.
"How nice to have at last such a fine and judicious
sampling of Cope’s work, the recognition that only
such an overview can provide of the breadth of his
project." Davis McCombs
"This book, varied, luminous, and true, tells us only
the woods, only the green God-given world, will
make us whole." Maurice Manning
Paperback, 128 pages
Publication Date: January 25, 2013
ISBN: 978-1-937968-03-8
Price: $18.50
