Central Square
G EO RGE P AC K E R
"Central Square
is a novel about the moral1ife,
yet
is devoid of moralizing; a novel
about the politics of class, gender, race and culture, yet is free of cant. Few writers
have portrayed the contemporary. urban scene-or the struggle
ofloyers-with
such honesty, feeling, and wrsdom ."

Relations: New and Selected Poems
EAM O N GR ENNAN
"Few poets are as generous as Eamon Grennan in the sheer volume of delight his
poems convey, and fewer stiIJ are as attentive to the available marvels of the earth.
To read him is to be led on a walk through the natural world of clover and cricket
and, most of all , light, and to face with an open heart the complexity of being
human."

Crossinn the Expendable Landscape
B ETTI NA DR EW
Drew takes the reader on an exploration of severalAmerican cities to examine
the consequences of built environments that fail to reflect regional, historic, and
social values.
"This is a lively book, leavenjng moral indignation with cool appraisal. It is a
frightening book too, in terms ofAmerican democracy. The horrors of Stamford and
the complacent rot of Hilton Head are no joke. Bettina Drew does not hesitate
to denounce these things, and she begins at least to value the attempts of The New
Urbanism to change them ."
