Shaking Music from the Angry Air

Shaking Music from the Angry Air

Michael Dwayne Smith

Sheila-Na-Gig Editions
2025
pokkari
In Shaking Music from the Angry Air, Michael Dwayne Smith keeps poems close to their source: mortality, wonder, and an infinite appetite for love. Frank and unpretentious, flinty, even brash, these poems sling us straight into the American southwest world of a boy-to-man quest through cities, coasts, and deserts. Smith's self-revelatory, ravenous, duende-filled personas, saddled by the origin story of an alcoholic home, break loose in escapades riddled with coyotes, deaths, horses, lovers, and ravens, accrued as a thoughtful, sometimes humorous exploration of life both sacred and profane. Bracingly candid and inventive, gracefully elegiac, tough, passionate, Smith traverses the landscape of the spirit, from the wailing of a dead junkie to a greening mountain of soft regret to the moon-bright drunken dancing of his working-class genesis. This dazzling collection will take the reader on a bareback ride into a raucous world of poetry, to be consumed by haunting delights, truths unglimpsed, sorrows known, and, ultimately, a reconciliation of hope and despair.

Doggerel

Doggerel

Reginald Dwayne Betts

WW NORTON CO
2026
nidottu
Reginald Dwayne Betts is our foremost chronicler of the ways prison shapes and transforms American life. In Doggerel, Betts examines this subject through a more prosaic—but equally rich—lens: dogs. He reminds us that, as our lives are broken and put back together, the only witness often barks instead of talks. In these poems, which touch on companionship in its many forms, Betts seamlessly and skillfully deploys the pantoum, ghazal, and canzone, in conversation with artists such as Freddie Gibbs and Lil Wayne. Simultaneously philosophical and playful, Doggerel is a meditation on family, falling in love, friendship, and those who accompany us on our walk through life. Balancing political critique with personal experience, Betts once again shows us “how poems can be enlisted to radically disrupt narrative” (Dan Chiasson, The New Yorker)—and, in doing so, reveals the world anew. “. . . every story becomes a multiplication, If the naming is filled less with names than With the best parts, the barking & everything Else, because who among us hasn’t been As mangy as a rescue, even on our best Days, desiring mostly to be loved.” —from “Rings”

Recruitment and Retention of Race Group Students in American Higher Education

Recruitment and Retention of Race Group Students in American Higher Education

C. Dwayne Wilson; Bernard Lubin; Barbara Below

Praeger Publishers Inc
2008
sidottu
Challenges to American college and university affirmative action and racial and ethnic diversity initiatives were resolved by the Supreme Court in its 2003 decisions in the University of Michigan case. Those decisions affirmed, as a compelling interest, the attainment of racially diverse student bodies in higher education. The Court's decisions and the predicted increases over the next decade in the numbers of race and ethnic group high school graduates have reinforced and in some cases strengthened the resolve of college and university officials that the positive returns from affirmative action and racial diversity are real and worth pursuing.The purpose of this annotated bibliography is to provide a record of the research, scholarship, and programs for recruitment and retention of African American, Alaskan Native, American Indian, Asian American, Latino, and Pacific Islander students at the college and university levels. It is structured to facilitate access by college and university administrators, professionals, consultants, researchers, and students who require information on recruitment and retention to aid in their decision making about strategy related issues, and scientific and creative processes in the area. This bibliography covers more than forty years of literature and contains 969 citations organized into five chapters.

Freedom and Confinement

Freedom and Confinement

Elizabeth Gordon McKim; Reginald Dwayne Betts

UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH PRESS
2026
pokkari
Freedom and Confinement is a powerful, book-length conversation between poets Elizabeth Gordon McKim and Etheridge Knight, recorded in 1990 as Knight was dying of cancer. The interview traces Knight’s life from his childhood in Paducah, Kentucky, to his time in the Army and his injury in Korea, to his drug addiction and incarceration, and finally, to his poetic rebirth. The dialogue includes a 1984 exchange with McKim’s daughter, Jenifer McKim, offering a rare intergenerational glimpse into Knight’s world. McKim captures the man behind the legend—complex, contradictory, soulful. From prison yards to the Library of Congress, Knight lived and performed poetry across the country. This conversation revives his stories and energies, blending trickster wit with hard-won wisdom, making the mythic poet vividly human once more.
