A Blue Moon in Poorwater
by Hankla, Cathryn       
(Paperback - English - 9780813918464)
Cathryn Hankla's first novel is an engaging coming-of-age story set in the small Appalachian mining town of Poorwater, Virginia. It is the summer of 1968, and the narrator, inquisitive ten-year-old Dorie Parks, is getting ready to enter fifth grade when her errant older brother Willie returns to town. A religious fanatic and suspected drug user, Willie represents to the residents of Poorwater the hippie counterculture that threatens their conservative town, and his return is the catalyst for a string of strange and sometimes tragic events. Dorie's father, a miner, begins a dangerous labor rights crusade after a mining accident leaves a close friend dead. Dorie s ..

Texas School Book Depository: Prose Poems
by Hankla, Cathryn       
(Paperback - English - 9780807125410)
Humorous, quirky, and spiritually meditative by turns, Cathryn Hankla's prose poems move by associative leaps and take their inspirations from cultural and personal icons. A shadow narrative moors the collection in the perspective of a woman who survives a difficult childhood to eventually comprehend the paradoxes of adult life and whose journeys into her heritage bring her to a fuller realization of her place in the world. Travels to Prague and Paris, allusions to literary, spiritual, artistic, and political figures, local and familial lore -- all become ready touchstones for the revelation of feeling and reevaluations of identity and the nature of freedom. br ..

Negative History
by Hankla, Cathryn       
(Hardcover - English - 9780807121535)
Negative history is a legal term referring to decisions that have been overruled or questioned in some way by an appellate court. Cathryn Hankla's Negative History alludes to such ambiguity in the domain of a more personal justice--as the title poem suggests: "Petals of morning open in lucid order opposed to the law. Here is a question without an answer." Through these enthralling poems, the reader enters spheres of history and emotion in which there are more often ironies to be observed than answers to be found or justice served. And yet what can be discovered through vivid visual detail, through the poet's eye, can lift us from our reliance on the world's d ..

Last Exposures: A Sequence of Poems
by Hankla, Cathryn       
(Paperback - English - 9780807129487)
In this powerful poetic sequence wrought of deft tercets, Cathryn Hankla navigates the slippery, ever-changing territory between art and life. The death of the poet's father by car accident is the focal event for the collection, and all the poems reflect the collision of the physical and transcendent. Whether describing the abandoned nest of a Carolina wren or the excavation of the Kennewick Man, Hankla sounds a muted grief in these lines. But with wit, channeled through language and rhythm, the poet keeps traveling forward: by car and by camel, from San Francisco to Spain, with many stops between. As she takes us with her, finally off the map into regions of th ..

Afterimages: Poems
by Hankla, Cathryn       
(Paperback - English - 9780807116852)
Afterimages is a journey of the eye, what the eye observes and what the eye cannot forget. Cathryn Hankla writes, the world br inhabit is a visual question, br marked by a balancing line br of light on distant water, a mirror br horizon. These poems balance the death of family members against the monologue of a woman who comes to life under the coroner's knife. Memories of a life-saving class counterbalance the image of drowned lovers in the film Women in Love . Photography, painting, and film all figure as arts that the mind uses to transcend loss and that the memory uses as aids to preserve the lost. Hankla's eye for detail--soft down between the shoul ..

Galaxies: Poems
by Hankla, Cathryn       
(Paperback - English - 9780881466164)
As the opening poem "The Labyrinth Galaxy" suggests, this is not a book of astronomy, but a book of seeking and beseeching. Cathryn Hankla's GALAXIES forms a collective of connected but disparate things. Each galaxy grouping constitutes a gravitational system of concern, finding its own music and approach to what a poem can be. Together the poems create a spiritual pilgrimage, a sequence sending up an alarm for the earth, inviting the reader to walk a path to the heart's center. As attentive to the natural world as to human emotion, Hankla has previously written prose poems and lineated verse in traditional and open forms, but in this inventive volume she allows ..

Fortune Teller Miracle Fish
by Hankla, Cathryn       
(Paperback - English - 9781611860047)
A mentally challenged teen in a coma, a WWII veteran weighing his beliefs, an intersexed man anticipating a relationship, a single woman who has kissed far too many frogs, and a first grader suffering at the hands of a family friend. These are just a few of the unforgettable characters in Fortune Teller Miracle Fish , an innovative collection of stories from award-winning novelist and poet Cathryn Hankla.
