Francine Tolf began writing poems when she was 20--at first rhyming poems, fledgling sonnets and ballads, and later through several decades developed her craft in various forms without losing her love and gift for rhythm, sound, and music: "My golden hair is turning gray, / my sins are sinned, my wild oats flung. / Now's the time to pen a book / of rhymes for children old and young."The importance and appeal of nature, relationships, language, and the mysteries of our intricate connections with each other recur in these poems: "For now there's neither eye nor voice nor sun / to question what you are, or feel, or see. / In kindness, I grant anonymity, / a gift no dawn can ever give. So come / and know some peace a while, be part of me."These poems are comforting while mindful of the uncertainties that challenge our lives: "There is no one to cry my secret to. / A deaf wind whispers, Even if there were, / your lover could not share it if he knew. / He could not pierce the secret to its core / and share it with you even if he knew."Francine's late sister, Gale Tolf, created the beautiful ink and watercolor drawings. Gale found inspiration in myth, legend, and fairytale, a perfect complement to these thoughtful, loving, and life-fulfilling poems.
Francine Marie Tolf's poetry is like the leaves she describes in one of her poems: "green fire in morning sun." Spill Some New Brightness opens in a place where grief and gratitude walk hand in hand: "Sometimes something wonderful occurs, / a sister you thought exotic but brittle / becomes your best friend, maybe through / mysterious and troubling circumstances. Maybe / she has a breakdown. Speaks with demons. / Walks through bright and terrible fields." ("Sometimes").In this spiritual gathering of pain, love, beauty, and injustices, devastating moments surface: "I thought of that immigrant woman clutching her child / as ice-black water rose, the merciless moment / she had to breathe ocean into her lungs / and I said out loud, Where were You? / How could You let this happen? / No answer except diamonds sparkling on lake water." ("Hidden Beach").We spend time with women, sisters, mothers, people on the bus and in the grocery store, assisted living patients, children, trees, tiger lilies, "mallard ducks swimming in melted snow puddles."Tolf gives us the beauty of ordinary but dazzling moments: "Blinding white, the sudden wings beat / in front of my windshield, as if / the gull had dropped from a horizon / of sapphire sea and chalk-bright cliff / instead of this dreary March sky / hanging low over a parking lot edged / with a Dollar Tree, a Taco Bell, / black-crusted snow." ("Transfiguration in North Minneapolis").Compassion for animals, strength from nature, a community of gratitude to help heal and experience a whole life ... these are the gifts Tolf offers to readers in her latest collection.

Don't be misled by the title of this book. Though a tomato may scream if you stab it, or the vicissitudes of domestic life lick your ankles below your TV tray like a lupine tongue, there is more method than madness to Francine Witte's portrayal of how crazy interweaves with the mundane in this collection. Read through Cafe Crazy and see just how sure her hand is on the tiller. Life may be fractured, and experience treacherous to navigate, but these poems offer a regenerative and welcome cohesion, guiding us surely through the complex truths and misunderstandings of the Human Experience. This is a voice you can trust to tell the real story; her story-telling gifts are in full force in these poems. Welcome to Cafe Crazy-enter here, though the aperture of a poetic voice in full command of its faculties. -George Wallace, Writer in Residence, Walt Whitman Birthplace In Cafe Crazy, Francine Witte serves up tough, street-smart narrators and injects them with an incurable sense of wit while exercising the imagination to its legal limits. The essence of Witte's work is sometimes dark, sometime playful, but always frighteningly addictive. -Meg Pokrass, author of The Dog Looks Happy Upside Down Francine Witte's Cafe Crazy serves up a series of singed epiphanies, the burn out of not one, but two marriages, their ashy remains. "Not all fires burn the same," the poet warns in the opening poem of this fine collection, and she's right-yet each betrayal burns, each ending leaves scars. This parallel journey of doomed relationships, the poet's and that of her parents', explores how love "gets lost inside somewhere while you're not paying attention." Witte's skill lies in her willingness to go deep, and to spare no one. She longs for love, "But love, like any bird, gets tired of flying and looks for a place to nest." These brave poems rise like the phoenix from the ashes. These are the poems that pull you through. These are the poems that save you. -Alexis Rhone Fancher, author of Enter Here; poetry editor, Cultural Weekly
Woman's Story tells the stories of Latina women's lives. Depicting conflict in gender bias, experiences of exploitation, violence, and powerlessness, sometimes resulting in pain and despair in their turbulent world. But these stories also tell of these women's celebration of life itself that empowers them and gives them the will to sustain. These stories resonate on a deeply emotional level. Rodriguez knows how to spin a narrative and keep it going with energy. She creates memorable characters who are compelling and unique. These are the stories of real women living hard lives, some at the poverty line, some a little better off, but all desperate in some way.
Francine Witte's The Theory of Flesh is just that, an accumulation of poetic evidence for the absurdity and heartbreak that accompanies our mortal costumes. She moves from pre-history and history into the present and personal with the same sharp and incisive sense of description, the same savvy toward the fickle cosmos. Anxiety, crop failure, sibling rivalry, and small-town affairs-each is another hand-drawn entry on the larger human scroll. Witte, as they say, knows the score, and she's willing to share it with us, to describe in no uncertain terms exactly what it means to be us-damned from the very get go and further doomed by folly and fate. Yet important enough in our trials to command the fine poet's attention. -Justin Hamm, author of The Inheritance and American EphemeralFrancine Witte's poems are full of a compassion for our frail, vulnerable selves, our frail, vulnerable earth, and they are implicit with a forgiveness for that frailty and stupidity, like a teacher who refuses to hold her students' foolhardiness or idiocy against them. As she writes in "Bravado" "Take away our medicines and guns, / and where are we, really? Not at the top / of the food chain, that's for sure. Our / teeth can barely tear a baguette, and forget / about breathing in the wrong stranger's / sneeze." In these poems, Witte goes straight for the elements that make up our lives, the love, the betrayal, the heartbreak; our weakness and our helplessness. Witte embraces our fallibilities. After all, "Maybe this is all a game. Maybe we are the players, / or the pieces, or the lookers-on who shake their / heads and bring us snacks." -Charles Rammelkamp, author of Me and Sal ParadiseFrancine Witte's literary voice is one of the strongest to emerge in the last few years. She combines sharp observations with a smart, biting sense of humor-her take on men and women in relationships is honest, and because of her intelligence, accurate. In The Theory of Flesh, she takes no prisoners -Ron Kolm, author of Night Shift and Welcome to the Barbecue
