Poetry
War is a God That Demands Human Sacrifice is an illustrated chapbook of poetry by Murietl T. Stackley. While the author admits in her Preface that "anti-war books don't stop war" she builds a powerful case against war through global glimpses of the war god's havoc wrought through time.

Poetry
Here are poems able to draw both tears and laughter, as they express unrepressed spirit in two different yet authentic voices-one Aunt Amelia as channeled by her niece Esther, the other that of Stenson herself.

From the ashes of a family fire, Aunt Amelia's voice rises-first desperate, then questing and sceptical, wondering where in the world to find God. She never dreamed she would follow a stranger far afield from her Amish cradle. But the voice of the Spirit called louder than tradition.

From Big Valley Pennsylvania to Virginia, to Florida, even Sarasota Mennonites could not keep her from the mesmerizing ministry of a fiery African American evangelist who finally settled in California. The first part of the book reflects her journey, her voice.

The second voice is that of her niece, poet Esther Stenson, who formed her own identity in places outside the safety of freundschafft and tradition-keeping her feet on the ground, with her ear turned spiritward and her eyes open in tenderness toward all things created.

Poetry
A Cold wind, but not a bitter one, blows through the poems in Part 1 of Jean Janzen's newest collection. Her refusal to turn aside from any difficulty, any loss, here presses her writing into firmer edges than ever before. She writes with cool tones; she witnesses now with a longer view, layers of life stacked against each other. But the subjects are her choice ones--aging, intimate love, the bearing away of children, light, and always memory

Motion and rhythms and round words roll through the poems in Part 2, the more familiar hallmarks of Janzen's rumbling universe. She brings longing to every page, and then calls us in, gently, yet irresistibly. Among these 43 new poems are "skin and Air," "The Uprooting," "Lifting You," "Architecture of Falling," and "Holding On to the Walls."

Poetry
A collection of highly descriptive poems which comprises lyrical meditations, narratives, dramatic monologues, and verse essays. The first section draws strongly on memory in presenting the luminous immediacy of experiences with others and nature. Later sections turn to the Dutch-Russian Mennonites who influenced and shaped the poet; troubling issues of war, peace, and the exercise of power; and the possibilities in our time of living and writing with integrity.

Poetry
In Evening Chore, Wagner takes us with her to the far pasture, that borderland where at dusk the known meets the unknown, where details are at once familiar and mysterious, where "a kill- deer, plain-collared plover of open fields" circles above us, "with the pull of ocean in its flight."

This landscape is both personal and mythological, evoking those invisible connections that Wagner sensed from her extended Mennonite family as well as from time spent in Kenya, Somalia, and among the Choctaw in Louisiana. These connections bring together what are frequently viewed as opposites: nature and humanity, the dead and the living, time and eternity, mythology, and truth.

In recalling the haunting cry of the muezzin from the mosque, the harmony of a cappella singing and the sure voice of the poet's grandfather as he "shook the cows from the shadows," Evening Chore reverberates with "voices inside of voices, / husks beneath husks."
