New Releases by Michael Palmer

At Passages is Michael Palmer''s first book of poetry in seven years--and his first book with New Directions. A collection in seven parts, At Passages explores the "hum of the possible-to-say," and, as its title suggests, delves particularly into the paths and meetings of language and meaning: "as much the unseen / as the visible / As much what has disappeared / as what remains."

“A suspenseful page-turner . . . jolts and entertains the reader.”—Mary Higgins Clark Inside Boston Doctors Hospital, patients are dying. In the glare of the operating room, they survive the surgeon''s knife. But in the dark, hollow silence of the night, they die. Suddenly, inexplicable, horribly. A tough, bright doctor will risk his career—his very life—to unmask the terrifying mystery. A beautiful and dedicated young nurse unknowingly holds the answer. Together they will discover that no one is safe from . . . the sisterhood “Teriffic . . . a compelling suspense tale.”—Clive Cussler

Poems deal with nature, symmetry, travel, fiction, music, illusion and reality, communication, and memory

The reign of Henry VIII witnessed a dramatic transformation of church and state. MD Palmer analyses the changes that took place and also considers the effect upon society of the English Reformation and the dissolution of the monastries. He concludes with an examination of Henry''s character and an assessment of how far he was responsible for the transformation with which he has been identified.
