Infusing us to 'remind the world about love', James Collins writes poetry bordering on the mythic within every day life. He illuminates the sacred qualities of life, the light and the dark, as he shows us the honest heart and soul of contemporary poetry. Full Moon Man, like a moonscape, rises above his other collections. An indispensable reading.~Earl LeClaire, poet and novelist, Epiphanies and Benedictions, The Crew, Winnowing the Darkness and many more

Literacy and Literacies is an engaging account of literacy and its relation to power. The book develops a synthesis of literacy studies, moving beyond received categories, and exploring the domain of power through questions of colonialism, modern state formation, educational systems and official versus popular literacies. Collins and Blot offer in-depth critical discussion of particular cases and discuss the role of literacies in the formation of class, gender, and ethnic identity. Through their analysis of two domains - those of literacies and power, and of literacies and subjectivity - they challenge received assumptions about literacy, intellectual development and social progress and argue that neither 'universalist' nor 'particularist' accounts offer satisfactory approaches to the phenomenon. This is a sustained exploration of the domain of power in relation to literacy. It will be welcomed by students and researchers in anthropology, linguistics, literacy studies and history.

If you are wondering where the lions are, they are here in James Collins' latest collection of poems; fierce, yet merciful lions. This selection of Collins' poetry is a masterful work of outstanding artistry and skill. The poems, richly creative, honest, and filled with profound self-knowledge, deal with the body, mind, and spirit of man. In James Collins' words: "This body is only a rumor, / not a possession you can keep.... live at that address in forever / you currently rent..." and "we wait for a / sign to see / who will paint the entire / canvas blue and / start over". Wonderful imagery. Wonderful energy. Wonderful language. ~Earl LeClaire, poet

For James Collins nature, spirituality and everyday experiences intersect to illuminate the soul of the reader as much as that of the poet. From the ruins of an old church to casualties of urban landscapes, Collins writes through the darkness to a terrestrial, cosmic refuge of light and hope. This collection examines one's ever-changing station in life and is as much a spirit map for the reader as a compilation. ~Chance Chambers, Nashville poet

There is something of shimmering moonlight in these poems as well as something tremulous lingering in the shadows that renders the writing both mystic and intimate and makes it difficult to know where the poem ends and our own thoughts begin. ~Earl LeClaire, poet
