In reviewing the Hudson Review,/em>'s history of publishing poetry in translation since 1948, the editors have compiled a collection that highlights the work of major American and English poets, most of whom are prominent in their own right, who, for the last half-century, have made accessible through their translations the work of their international colleagues.
This first collection of literary essays by a founder and leading poet-critic of the New Narrative/New Formalist revival explores the relationship between poetry and religion, the legacies of Wallace Stevens, Robert Frost, E. A. Robinson, Robinson Jeffers, and Donald Justice.
With characters ranging from the desperate to the obsessive to the wildly comic, Mark Anthony Jarman's 19 Knives employs dazzling linguistic verve and staggering metaphoric powers in every sentence. But Jarman doesn't just write about people, he puts us in their skin so that we feel their frailty and courage. No other contemporary Canadian short-story writer slices up the imaginative excitement, cultural hybridity, and Joycean play of language we see in 19 Knives. With one of the stories shortlisted for the U.S.'s prestigious O. Henry Prize and several others having won prizes or been published in magazines and journals across North America, this collection brings a major fiction writer to the fore.

The extraordinary "Knife Party" is from a new collection of stories by Mark Anthony Jarman titled Knife Party at the Hotel Europa, published in the spring of 2015. Published on the occasion of Goose Lane Editions's 60th anniversary, it is also part of the six@sixty collection.
This collection leaps into the dangerous currents where poetry and reli-gion meet, and enlivens the lexicon of traditional American Christian belief by testing its doctrines and language against contemporary experience. "Beyond the wonderful music of his lines . . ., what makes "To the Green Man "such an important and memor-able book is its enactment of a spiritual struggle to be at once at home in the world and astonished by it."--Alan Shapiro Mark Jarman is a professor of English at Vanderbilt University in Nashville. His book "The Black Riviera "won the Poets' Prize, and "Questions for Ecclesiastes "was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award and won the Lenore Marshall Poetry Prize.
Mark Jarman, author of the narrative poem "Iris" and the lyric
sequence "Unholy Sonnets, " is a poet associated with the revival
of narrative and traditional form in contemporary American poetry.
In "Body and Soul" he considers poetry from the Renaissance to the
present in essays that touch on the importance of religion, place,
and personal experience to poetry and reflect Jarman's particular
interests. His focus is on the relationship between lyric and
narrative, song and story, in poems of all kinds. He considers the
poem as a record of both body and soul, and examines his own life,
in an extended autobiographical essay, as a source for the stories
he has told in his poetry.
