New From Round Barn Press



We are proud to announce the upcoming publication of Rychard Denner's wonderful book of poems, Calendar of the Moon (2007) and Edward Coletti's Peace Planters (November 2006).


Here are a few samples:

I KNOW NOTHING

Silence before me and behind
preceding speech
What I am now saying is false
The sky passes
passes through my senses
Everything smells of mock orange
I skipped today, went
around midnight into tomorrow
I knew those hours were broken

-Rychard Denner-


NOVEMBER MIST

I’ll accept the emptiness
and give
the sullied figments
form.

I’ll follow these ruts
back to a field
filled
with blue light on snow.

-Rychard Denner-


Gentle Little Pushes

Lying still
in the garden

warfare-
the notion
absurd.

Give everyone
a garden
breeze and swing

especially
executive
owners

of gardens and swings.
Lead them outside,
give them gentle

little pushes
start them all
moving-

forgetting all else,
being alone.

-Edward Coletti-
