Carcanet Press is our most courageous publisher. When you look at what they have brought out since their beginnings, it makes so many other houses seem timid or merely predictable.

Rain. Rain from Baltimore. The ballroom floor
Is lit. See the gold sheen on the over- Whelmed grasses? See the starched ruff of the hedgerow? And the dancers are dressing. They tease Their toes into shoes. Tease their breath into stays: Stay the moment. Stay the luck. from 'A Live Dog Being Better than a Dead Lion'
Brigit Pegeen Kelly creates a magical landscape of sound-patterns, myths and surreal encounters, celebrating the mystery and surprise of creation. She is one of the best-loved poets writing in the United States today, a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Critics Circle Award and for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize in Poetry.
