		<description><![CDATA[&#160; If lighting a fire on a winter night is a way of staying alive, then so, one feels, was the writing of the poems in Gerry Cambridge’s new book, Notes for Lighting a Fire. These poems are filled with light and heat. They are often about light and staving off darkness and cleaving to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Reviewed: Mayakovsky’s Revolver by Matthew Dickman. Norton, 2012. Shot full of suicides, clichés, and sex, Matthew Dickman’s Mayakovsky’s Revolver is a collection of poems not unlike A Confederacy of Dunces—a mediocre work made important by personal tragedy.  In Dickman’s case, as evidenced by the back cover, the suicide of his older brother.

		<description><![CDATA[Reviewed: Signs and Wonders by Charles Martin. The Johns Hopkins University Press, 2011. 74 pages. To publish a collection of new poems late in a distinguished career is a slightly anxious proposition, both for the poet and for readers.
