| Here are a few volumes that Fountain Mountain Press have published recently. Please check back often as we add new items frequently. The Half-Life of Salt, by Charles Hood From Wendover to Hiroshima, this book discovers the many stories surrounding the Enola Gay, the B-29 which dropped the first atom bomb. In poetry and prose, it explores war, landscape, language, and loss, as well as history's inexorable resculpting of human culture, one heart at a time. This Life, Revised, by Michael B. Guista Michael Guista’s first book of poems shares the pain and wonder of childhood, the terrifying realities of religion, and the bewildering joys and burdens of adulthood. Set in California, they capture what it was like to grow up in the 1950s and 1960s. No matter what the issue—art, family, alcoholism, loneliness—the poems never swerve from telling the truth, ending with provocative and wise looks at life today. Closer To Home, by Christopher Buckley Christopher Buckley grew up in Santa Barbara and Montecito, attending Our Lady of Mt. Carmel school and Bishop Garcia Diego high school. This book includes his selected poems about Santa Barbara (nearly 125 pages of poems, plus an introductory material). Moving and meditative from one of America's most graceful poets. Charles Hood's sixth book explores the beauty and tragedy of African from the churches of Ethiopia to the markets of Senegal to the reed-lined banks of the Okavango River. Enhanced by the exquisite line art of Bruce Bartug's drawings, these poems capture fugitive voices and divine moments, looking for--and finding--nobility in a history of the common place. |
