The Clever Dream of Man
The Clever Dream of Man is a book full of engaging tensions. Part indictment, part forgiveness, its energy is guided by a skilled poet who is not afraid to examine the world with precision in her aim. One important thing about this, though: some of these poems are like rifles examining a target; others are like blessings aimed at the world. What Lynn Houston shoots: a song of anger, angst, and mercy. The target she hits: us. But instead of bleeding from it, we become a little more alive. -BJ Ward, Jackleg Opera: Collected Poems Lynn Houston's poems are serious and sexy, uncompromising and rich. Her sure eye captures a world where swans move with an "awkward gait not made for earth" and humans, too, traverse the planet simultaneously mired and on the wing. Houston writes of those who have known grief, yet whose travels "in this topography of loss" yield indefatigable hope. In her refreshingly quirky world, appliances speak like sages, and Lilith, Persephone and Barbie get in some last words. Deeply grounded in the complex primacy of human experience, The Clever Dream of Man is a vital and beautiful collection. -Catherine Doty, Momentum
Beyond Measure
This book shows that the current focus on high stakes tests has narrowed the definition of a successful school. It demonstrates that, in addition to focusing on standardized measures, educators also need to look at other matters, such as what actually goes on in their classrooms, teachers’ professional development, parental involvement, and school climate. These chapters were written by school leaders who are champions of accountability, but who also ask us to take a look at the “bigger picture”.
