Hobblebush is in a unique position to produce beautiful volumes of some of New Hampshire’s best poets. The Hobblebush Granite State Poetry Series publishes one or two volumes a year of NewHampshire poets who deserve a national audience.“We are not looking for authors who are simply skilled,” says series editor Sid Hall, “we are interested in work that is transformative. We are looking for authors who have lifted words into a new realm.”From the Box Marked Some Are MissingNew & Selected PoemsCharles W. PrattVolume I. Selected poems from three of Pratt’s earlier books, along with a generous number of poems that have not appeared in book form before. The whole of Pratt’s long and distinguished writing career is represented.Pratt’s poems—often quite formal, but usually in disguised fashion—are as tart and crisp as the apples from his orchard, and will delight many kinds of readers.isbn 978-0-9801672-8-3 Paperback, 96 pages $15.00HOBBLEBUSH GRANITEEarth ListeningPoemsBecky Dennison SakellariouVolume II. The poems in Earth Listening reflect thecomplex tapestries of the two very different worlds—Greece and New England—that Sakellariou inhabits. Former New Hampshire Poet Laureate Patricia Fargnoli calls the poems “carefully crafted with astonishing phrases and beautiful language and rhythms. Earth Listening, with its depth, its explorations of love and loss, and its spiritual awareness,seems to me like one long prayer. I love this book.”isbn 978-0-9801672-9-0 Paperback with CD, 72 pages $15.004 • WWW.HOBBLEBUSH.COM info@hobblebush.com
