Over the last year, four Signal poets have published books with other presses. Taken together, the genres represented -- fiction, literary criticism, translation and biography -- are impressive. I think it's a big part of what makes them such superb poets: their poetry is nourished by other sources.
Clockwise from bottom left: Double Talk (Breakwater) by Patrick Warner, Curious Masonry: Three Translations from the Anglo-Saxon (Gaspereau) by Christopher Patton, Fine Incisions: Essays on Poetry and Place (Porcupine's Quill) by Eric Ormsby and Edith Sitwell: Avant-Garde Poet, English Genius (Little, Brown) by Richard Greene.

Have already read Double Talk and highly recommend it. Lots of Warner's signature wit and precision. Can hardly wait to read the Sitwell book by Richard Greene, a fine writer and thinker.
