April 13, 2018—A Word’s Worth Review: “Stuart Friebert has gifted readers with the
translation of a visionary poet who was not afraid to write of days when "nothing
is going on" or to pass on the urgent message that we must pay attention to the destruction
of nature, political tyrannies, fears and hopes for humanity, and she suggests the
“way in” can be through the language of the poet.” Read the Review
March 14, 2018: Scant Hours: Selected Poems of Elisabeth Schmeidel, Translated by Stuart Friebert
Elisabeth Schmeidel (1945-2012), born in Austria, taught art and wrote seriously and furiously. In a diversity of voices and poetic forms, Scant Hours explores war and violence; relationships with love, family, sickness, inner life.
“With sensitivity and creativity, Stuart Friebert brings Schmeidel’s images and word collages into English; he creates a tone that allows access to the fine voices and moods of Schmeidel’s language.”—Thomas Wild

December 20, 2017: How Still the Riddle Poems by Francine Marie Tolf, Art by Gale Tolf
“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.”
Francine’s late sister, Gale Tolf, created the artwork, drawing inspiration in myth, legend, and fairytale, a perfect complement to these thoughtful, loving, and life-fulfilling poems.
May 26, 2018—A Word’s Worth Review: “ When I returned from a trip out of state, tired
and my mind devoid of any kind of poetic thought and found a new book of poetry in
my mailbox, I felt an infusion of energy. Where the Waters Take You speaks to my
condition with a voice of lucid tones, writing about the natural world and what his
clear eyes see in that world. ” Read the Review
May 22, 2018: Where the Waters Take You Poems by Neil Harrison
Wilderness, wildlife, friendship, family, humor, and Harrison’s patient, thoughtful observations suffuse his graceful poems with the beauty and wisdom of living close to the earth:
In response to something like instinct / the first word rises, others follow, / and a new migration begins / the archetypal bid for survival, / direction perhaps predetermined / back at the beginning of time, / soon lines of words almost seem to fly.

Selected Poems of Ute von Funcke, Translated by Stuart Friebert
"The reader experiences von Funcke's political engagement, her vibrant empathy for the suffering of others, and her search for motives driving the actions of human beings. One feels an ardent desire for openness in encountering others, emanating from an insatiable hope for change and an end to degrading, inhumane conditions everywhere."—Christiane Wyrwa
October 20, 2018—A Word’s Worth Review: “A poet who writes with the knowledge that poetry and politics are compatible, she is not shy about expressing man’s inhumanity to man in her work; however, she also voices hope for correcting the injustices that exist in societies worldwide.” Read the Review
