Elisabeth Frost's newest collection of poetry is
All Of Us. Publishers Weekly writes\:“The persistence of bad dreams\, the meaning of illness\,
the acquaintances and the distractions of apartment life\, erotic attachment and
filial attention energize [Frost’s] elegant poems. . . . Her people view the
ordinary life course – birth\, growth\, health\; parenthood\, illness\, death – with
a tenacious combination of fear and devotion.” She is an associate professor of
English and Women's Studies at Fordham university\, and editor of the Poets Out
Loud book series from Fordham Press.

NANCY HUDDLESTON PACKER reads Old Ladies\: Stories.  The stories in this collection center on women of a certain age.  Widows\, divorcees\, the happily married\, an artist\, a cleaning woman\, a professor\, the leisurely rich\, and the working poor. Some are feisty\, some shy\, some gentle\, some ornery. Some know exactly who they are\, and some are seeking to find out\, but almost all discover something a little unsettling that changes their sense of themselves\, for better or worse.
