David Berman's posthumous collection Progressions of the Mind abounds in sagacity, empathy, and wit. Often in sonnet form, this former lawyer's meditations on humanity may be poignant or humorous, but they are always entertaining. He deftly interrogates commonplace notions of morality, religious beliefs, and human frailties and resilience. Readers of this collection will understand why Berman was such a respected and beloved figure among the Powow River Poets.PRAISE FOR PROGRESSIONS OF THE MINDDavid Berman's drive, character and intelligence took him from a Florida orphanage to Harvard Law School, as well as the poetry workshops of Robert Lowell and Archibald MacLeish. His poems-witty, introspective, and impeccably crafted-always reflect a deep love of language and empathy for other people. -A.M. Juster, author of Wonder and WrathIn Progressions of the Mind, David Berman's first full-length collection, published posthumously, the reader new to his work will discover technical proficiency of the highest order in the writing of formal verse, and also encounter a restless, relentlessly probing, rigorously disciplined intellect devoted to learning, not for learning's sake so much as for how learning can clarify, justify, and endeavor to make sense of one unique and complex life. Like Wallace Stevens, David Berman lived a secret life of poetry, and wrote prolifically. These poems, selected and arranged by David himself in 2009, provide only a representative sampling of his vast body of work, yet can serve to introduce this extraordinary and gifted writer to those who did not have the good fortune to know him as a colleague, a fellow poet, and a cherished friend. -Bruce Bennett, author of Just Another Day in Just Our TownIn language clear as the finest diamonds, with a surgeon's precision and a philosopher's devotion to honest, complex thought, the late David Berman put together a collection of flawlessly wrought poems both dazzling and sobering. They include accounts of criminal behavior, often in the voice of the perpetrator (Berman was a prominent lawyer); subtle, revealing exchanges with the living and the dead; portraits tender and not so tender; vulnerable, candid self-examination; unexpected views of religion, and wit capable of shocking as it pierces the target. This record of a thoroughly "examined" life by a highly intelligent man known for his reserve is a book to learn from, and to treasure. -Rhina P. Espaillat, author of And After AllABOUT THE AUTHOR:David Berman (1934-2017) was born on September 11, 1934, in New York City and raised in Hollywood, Florida. He was licensed as an attorney in 1963. From 1967 until his death, he had a private practice in the Boston area with an emphasis on business litigation. While at Harvard, he was frequently published in the Harvard Advocate. Over the years, Berman published poems in literary journals such as the Formalist, Piedmont Literary Review, Sparrow, Orbis, Iambs and Trochees, and Pivot. He also published three chapbooks: Future Imperfect (State Street Press, 1982), Slippage (Robert L. Barth, 1996), and David Berman: Greatest Hits 1965-2002 (Pudding House, 2002). A student of Robert Lowell and Archibald MacLeish, Berman was a longtime member of the Powow River Poets of Newburyport, Massachusetts. In addition, he was a member of the Harvard Club, a trustee of the Cantata Singers, and Vice Échanson and Vice Conseiller Gastronomique Honoraire of the Boston chapter of La Confrérie de la Chaîne des Rôtisseurs. He passed away on June 22, 2017, after battling cancer for several months.

Austin 'Clarence' Farrar saw an opportunity for innovation in almost everything. Although not a well known public figure, he was known and respected by those who met him and worked with him. His work on dinghy design and building, and subsequently as one of the leading sailmakers of his day, stays with us today. His work on the design of spinnakers and wing rigs is still current and many of today's sailmakers learnt the trade under Austin.Coming from a family where invention was encouraged, Austin was fortunate to be yacht and dinghy racing in the heyday of the 1930s. He worked on the design of cutting edge offshore racers and developed torpedo nets to guard ships during the war. Later he was the most successful of the designers of the International 14 class and Seahorse Sails became synonymous with excellence and design development. This book tells the story of a fascinating man.

Lindsay's fourth published novel, 'Adventures of Monsieur de Mailly' was first published in 1926 in the UK and released in the US rather inappropriately as 'Blade for Sale' in the same year. 'Adventures of Monsieur de Mailly' is a humorous adventure set in the France of Louis XIV. Possibly the lightest and least fantastical of David Lindsay's novels, this romp through the realm of the Sun King nevertheless contains moments of high tragedy and tantalising glimpses of Lindsay's fascinating philosophy. Monsieur Gaston de Mailly is a soldier, an adventurer and, above all, a gentleman, trying to combat a disgraceful poverty in the year 1700, in a France where social norms are rapidly changing. An exciting adventure in its own right, this is a book no David Lindsay devotee will want to be without.
