Winner of the Backwaters Prize in Poetry, Jennifer K. Sweeney's
Foxlogic, Fireweed follows a lyrical sequence of five physical and
emotional terrains-floodplain, coast, desert, suburbia, and
mesa-braiding themes of nature, domesticity, isolation, and human
relationships. These are poems of the earth's wild heart, its
searing mysteries, its hollows, and its species, poems of the
complex domestic space, of before and after motherhood, gun terror,
the election, of dislocation and home, and of how we circle toward
and away from our centers. Sweeney is not afraid to take up the
domestic and inner lives of women, a nuanced relationship with the
natural world that feels female or even maternal, or a duty to
keeping alive poetry's big questions of transcendence, revelation,
awe, and deep presence in the ordinary.
Volume 33 of Advances in Library Administration and Organization
will look at different challenges library administrators encounter,
review emerging trends and bring critical analysis to this area.
The last volume edited by Delmus E. Williams, Janine Golden and
Jennifer Sweeney brings together a range of diverse and reflective
essays to provide strategies that will be of value in addressing
challenges faced by current and future library managers. The first
article of this volume looks at incorporating human resources
development (HRD) into the strategic planning of libraries.
Continuing on from this, Jon E. Cawthorne examines the ways
research libraries can use new organizational models to support
library services. A case study by Denise Kwan and Libi Shen
recognizes skills identified in libraries as contributing to
successful leadership. Next is a different kind of piece about
efforts to link a library information course to a learning
community with a focus on teaching English as a Second Language
(ESL). Finally, architect Peter Gisolfi argues that library
buildings will need to adapt as they transition to community
information centers.
