Girl Reading a Letter at an Open Window
Winner 2013 Cowles/Copperdome Chapbook Award
Publication: May 2014 | Pages: 32Chapbook, $6.00
ISBN: 978-0-9883103-9-1"It's no small feat to compose a lifetime in just 24 pages of poetry, but Jeffrey Bean has done this, and brilliantly. His poems begin with an adored 'you,' and they make one long to be this beloved person, the language is so luscious and exquisitely tuned (. . . her hair, shook foil). He flits back in time too, revisiting a sensuous childhood where " the graffiti I carved into the grass / has vanished, but the grass insists / on whispering about it." Finally, a newborn appears, "chubby fire, flaring / all night into the eye of / the video monitor." Bean offers startling takes on familiar objects and experiences. A retainer is a "disembodied organ, pink as sex." There's a singing beer can, dancing cellophane, the failed garden brought to life in a closet filled with beautiful red shirts, "that grass-and-river feeling." And always, always, the most lovely, subtle music, for the poet knows not to blare, but to weave sound in, as if it were floating down from an upstairs window." - Sarah Gorham, poet & editor-in-chief of Sarabande Books

Annamanda: A Novel of Courage
Publication: June 2014 | Pages: 424
Trade Paperback, $19.00
ISBN: 978-0-9883103-7-7Bravery was required in the early 1800s frontier along the Mississippi River, and Annamanda's courage helps her family to survive despite ferocious bears, "panthers," Tecumseh's ire, crop failures, roving bands of outlaws, and even the disputes between the many religions that formed and fell at the edges of the movement West.
Following her preacher husband into Missouri's wilds, Annamanda meets the strange Eremus Lodi, a wealthy, educated landowner whose demons isolate him from "proper folk," and his African companion named O'Reilly, whose healing powers save several members of her family. Through danger and deprivation, doubt and wonder, Annamanda faces each trial with humble strength and humor, until the coming of the Great Earthquake of 1811 threatens to destroy all that she knows and loves. In Annamanda's flight from the seemingly endless Great Shaking, she and her family will have to face a final horror known as The Beast that is unleashed in the deep forests of the Middle South. -
