| 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.

| 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." Copyright 2005 Cascadia Publishing House | | | | New Songs: A Collection | View shopping basket | | by Otto Selles | |

| This Beautiful book explores biblical and spiritual themes,
fusing free-verse poetry with woodcut illustrations. Otto Selles' verse
reflects of familiar biblical phrases and themes at times taking on the
points of view of biblical figures such as Goliath and Judas. In the
words of one reviewer, "Selles shines a light outward, and from various
angles, so that we may see anew what has always been there of see for
the first time possibilities beyond our usual ken." Each poem is
accompanied by a wood cut illustration by Geraldine Selles-Ysselstein,
reflection the themes of the poem, creating a "gallery" of words and
images. | | | | Prayers for a Treasured Child | View shopping basket | |

| It isn't the way of the Amish to write about themselves. But
John A Hostetler has put together a delightful anthology in which they
do just that. More than 150 rare and unusual letters and journal
entries, poems and stories, riddles, legends, and bits of family lore
offer a uniquely authentic view of the Amish life from colonial times
to the present. Here Amish men and women speak. On America. The
decline of the family. Health and home remedies. Farming. They offer
three centuries' wisdom on issues ranging from raising a barn to
raising children, from getting along with neighbors to breaking in a
team of mules. Copyright 1989 John Hopkins University Press | | | | Sleep in Peace | View shopping basket | | by Ingrid Hess | |

| Kinientos: New Pictures of an Old world is a book for
those who want to broaden their perspective on the Columbian Legacy in
the New World. Voices of pain, anger, fear, and hope resound from the
poems, essays, and illustrations by 19 contributors of varied ethnic
backgrounds--Native Peoples, African-American, Latina/o, Euro-American,
and Asian-American. Some of you might not normally hear these voices,
but you will find your world view enlarged if you take time to listen
to them speak. While speaking on issues that tend to separate
people, this book also portrays interrelatedness through the use of the
coined work Kinientos in the title, replacing the English work for kin
(persons of common ancestry) for the Spanish quin in quinientos (500).
Much of the work to compile the anthology was done by a committee of
the writers and visual artists themselves, making it a group work of
art as well as a collection of individual pieces. | | | | A Liturgy for Stones | Details... | | | A Quiet and Peaceable Life | Details... | | | Anabaptist Visions for the New Millennium: A Search for Identity | Details... | | | Empty Room with Light | Details... | | | I Saw God Dancing | Details... | | | Migrant Muses: Mennonite/s Writing in the U.S. | Details... | | | On the Cross: Devotional Poems | Details... | | | Piano in the Vineyard | Details... | | | Tasting the Dust | Details... | | | Three Mennonite Poets | Details... | | | Through a Lens Oblique | Details... | | | Walker in the Fog: On Mennonite Writing | Details... | | | Where We Start | Details... |
