My German Dictionary, which won the fourteenth annual Anthony Hecht Poetry Prize, is a guide to an idiosyncratic interior country, a map of the experience of absorbing and being absorbed by Central European language, culture, aesthetics, and history. It is a catalogue of small beloved things inflected by massive horrors. The poems are home to and haunted by Franz Marc¿s horses, ETA Hoffmann¿s tales, the Great War, Bertolt Brecht, Rosa Luxemburg, enchanted bears, Weimar Berlin, and vanished relatives, along with an entire alphabet of mishearings, mnemonics, and valentines for the German language. These are the poems of an historian wrestling with mastery of the unmasterable, the histories in miniature of a poet.

Blue Rooms, Morri Creech's long awaited fourth collection, explores the uncertain terrain between conscious perception and the objective world, and includes powerful lyric sequences that examine Magritte¿s surreal investigations of the elusive self, Cezanne¿s attempts to limn the dynamic nature of reality, and Goyäs unflinching depictions of cosmic and historical horrors¿all while balancing rich language with an exacting formal control.
