The New Formalist

Jared Carter’s book, Cross this Bridge at a Walk, is now avail­able from Wind Pub­li­ca­tions in Kentucky.

Its six­teen nar­ra­tive poems recount inci­dents in America’s his­tory from the Rev­o­lu­tion to the present, with cameo appear­ances by Mother Ann Lee, Emily Dick­in­son, Scott Joplin, and Bix Beiderbecke.

To read sam­ple poems from the book, go to “Coxey’s Army,” “Spirea,” or “Jesus Walk­ing on the Water.”

We offer to any­one who con­tributes $20 or more to The New Formalist a free hard copy of Alfred Dorn’s lat­est book, Vis­its and Vis­tas, signed by the author. This book is a lim­ited edi­tion of 50 signed and num­bered copies, and only 20 of them remain avail­able. They will be given to con­trib­u­tors on a first-come, first-served basis. Copies of Alfred Dorn’s ear­lier books are offered by on-line book­sellers for prices as high as $175, and signed copies of his books are very scarce. Don’t delay!
