Safe at Last

For animal lovers and sensitive souls comes this quietly breathtaking story of a child whose compassion for wild creatures is returned to him during a fearful storm. Each morning when James leaves his small house by the sea, he cycles around the island and calls out to his friends. "Good morning " he calls to the otters in their pool. "Good morning " to the birds in the trees, the rabbits in their burrow, and the bears in their cave. Every day is wonderful, until one evening when ominous clouds start to paint the sky, and a fierce storm crashes in. The light glowing inside his house gives James comfort, but what about the animals? Should he go outside and make sure they're safe? Beautifully layered illustrations follow the child in his little red coat as he searches the wild, windy night for his friends, to no avail--until an anxious return home rewards him with the fruits of his kindness. Stylized and atmospheric, Richard Jones's exquisite art and lyrical text tell a heart-stirring tale of a loving bond that will linger long after the book is closed.

"Jones can be stunning, effortlessly finding the right tone. This is instinctive poetry, combining bluntness with reserve."--The Village Voice"Richard Jones... demonstrates an ability both to transform into affirmation the tragedies of personal experience and to extract from them a more universal truth."--Library Journal"Richard Jones is a poet of the heart."--PoetryRichard Jones is a poet of uncommon perceptual gifts and emotional depth. Long admired for his storytelling and candid, unadorned diction, Jones mines daily life to reveal our quietest moments and best selves."The Answer" Tonight, looking for the answer, I must have killed an hour flipping through philosophy and poetry books, every few minutes opening and reading a different title. I anxiously searched all the places I keep books-- looking in the kitchen, the boys' rooms, checking the laundry room and workshop, before going outside finally to the curb to search through books tossed in the backseat of the car. Snow fell straight down in windless silence. The keys in my left hand jingled like very small bells. I stopped and tried to remember what I'd come into the night looking for.Richard Jones is the author of six books of poetry and founding editor of Poetry East. Anthologized in Garrison Keillor's Good Poems and Billy Collins's Poetry 180, his poems have been featured on National Public Radio, BBC Radio, and The Writer's Almanac. He lives in Chicago.

"Jones can be stunning, effortlessly finding the right tone."--"The Village Voice"Richard Jones examines the details of daily life as though through a child's eyes, taking in every wondrous moment as if time were nonexistent, yet with the intensely painful understanding that the elemental world of the family is fleeting. Jones, who is strongly influenced by Rilke and Keats, is a master of metaphor who can transform mundane things into sacred objects.Richard Jones is the author of ten books of poetry and criticism and founding editor of the literary magazine "Poetry East." He teaches at DePaul University in Chicago.

Stranger on Earth

Jones writes brief, simple poems about isolated incidents while gracefully alluding to the complex relationships underlying them. --Publishers WeeklySkillful, direct, and surprisingly delicate. --The Village VoiceA poet of uncommon perceptual gifts. --Library JournalRichard Jones's prodigious volume travels the wide arc of a lifetime in Proustian detail. He remembers a peripatetic upbringing, travels to London and Paris, separation from and reunion with his wife in the Italian countryside, morning tea with his daughter and trail runs with his sons, flights with a pioneering aviator father and conversations with a deaf mother. Impossible task, staying alive, Jones writes, and yet a perspicacious examination of the life we have lived yields clarity and enrichment. Finding poetry in what went before, Stranger on Earth opens the door to what Proust calls those dwelling-places deep within us that we would not have known how to enter. Richard Jones has published eleven books of poetry and his poems have been featured on NPR's "All Things Considered." He is the founder and editor of Poetry East, and he teaches at DePaul University in Chicago, where he lives with his family.

Tahoma, also known as Mt. Rainier, he enters the park's vast wilderness and soon stumbles on an unlikely cast of characters who seem to have the power to commune with--even work with--the forces of nature. But Ray's new friendships and growing understanding of his own remarkable gifts are pushed to the limit when he encounters a malevolent spirit intent on destroying the earth as we know it, and all those Ray is quickly coming to hold dear. Equal parts ecological fiction and contemporary mythology, Speakers of the Earth is a riveting, hair-raising adventure from a storyteller with wisdom to share, and an impassioned ode to the beauty and more-than-human intelligence of the natural world.
