    "The Carnivorous Gaze" takes its meaning from the lean and hungry Cassius, who thinks too much. Anthropologist, poet, and artist, Sue Parman is a hunger artist who devours obscure words in the Oxford English Dictionary, chomps on life and love with sharp teeth, seasons death and illness with bitter wit and sweet irony, and whips up dense poetic forms and turns them airy with a playful interaction of words and art."Thorny, witty, braided and woven and webbed, startling; dark and sweet and sad and funny; lines and passages that will haunt you for days; and behind it all a wry sharp intelligence and large open bruised heart," says Brian Doyle, author of Mink River.Parman's book is "...a marvelous romp through anthropology, philosophy, history, and language by a poet who knows the rules and breaks them. There's music and story here, form that is played with, hopped over and stepped around, poems of humor and wit, and poems that deal honestly and imaginatively with the most momentous of life's events-death, illnesses, and found and lost loves. As a poet, Parman is crafting a personal mythology fit for a new world," according to Barbara La Morticella, author of Even the Hills Move in Waves."Sue Parman's poems are a fabulous mix of the formal and the miraculous. She uncovers what is beneath ground and is dazzled by what exists in the light. She tenders reality-relationships, work, time, love-with a direct style that is scaffolded by complex forms and complex ideas. 'The Carnivorous Gaze' comes to see everything in human experience with a rapacious affection for life," comments David Biespiel, author of The Book of Men and Women.

    In memory of her deceased husband, J. Carl Ellston, Sandra Ellston Mason assembles in this volume documents relating to his life and his family history. J. Carl Ellston lived from October 5, 1928 to May 13, 2008. His grandparents had been influential in the development of Exeter, Missouri, owning and operating both the bank and the general store. Included here are his own early life memories and stories, letters and certificates from his accomplishments in trade and finance, including a letter from the U. S. Secretary of Commerce, and facsimiles of the pages of the small book he carried in his pocket when, as a First Lieutenant, he was a forward observer for the U.S. Army Artillery during the Korean Conflict. Mason adds his funeral eulogy and her own descriptions of life during their twelve-year marriage from 1996 until Carl's death.

    No Constant Hues is a work of passionate attention- celebration and lament for a world intensely perceived and savored. In its poems, readers will find particular places, especially semi-wild ones; works of visual art and the acts that made them; people, animals and plants, tenderly yet sharply observed. In these poems, love of the world is matched by love of language, made manifest in precision of meaning, movement, and sound. This is a book, says poet and critic Lisa Steinman, "both quiet and fierce."
