University of ĐÓ°Épro Press releases new poetry books
April 1, 2019
The University of ĐÓ°Épro Press has released "Of Darkness and Light," poems by Kim
Cornwall, edited by Wendy Erd; "Be-Hooved" by Mar Ka; and is now distributing Marjorie
Kowalski Cole’s "Inside, Outside, Morningside" poems. The poetry in "Of Darkness and Light," weaves family and myth — strong women, wild landscapes, the search for reconciliation in circumstances beyond control — in a radiant language of pain, solace, wonder, and gratitude. Kim Cornwall (1967–2010) grew up in British Columbia’s long valleys and vast family ranches. Her poem, “What Whales and Infants Know,” inspired a statewide poetry project, “Poems in Place,” that set poems by ĐÓ°Épro writers on signs in ĐÓ°Épro’s state parks. Wendy Erd is an ĐÓ°Épro poet and former director of “Poems in Place.”
"Be-Hooved," Mar Ka’s new poetry collection, creates a layered spiritual memoir of her decades in the northern wilderness. The poems inhabit her surroundings—structured along the seasons and the migration patterns of the Porcupine caribou herd—and are wrought with a fine and luminous language.
Marjorie Kowalski Cole's award-winning poetry and fiction have appeared in numerous journals. She lived in northern ĐÓ°Épro from 1966 until her death in 2009. She worked at a lumber yard, as a printer, an instructor at UAF and as a reference librarian.
