|  | Fire & Flower by Laura Kasischke
Poetry. Three sections often poems each, which revel in the gorgeous possibilities of language even as they acknowledge the impossibility of language to contain the things it describes: But there will always be/storms & gray//that settle on their shoulders blurred as sparrows//before they fly away. Seasons/and the names for them will change (from A is for Almost ). Kasischke's world...is a world in which grace and horror, beauty and carnage, tragedy and hilarity commingle (Harvard Review). Kasischke is the author of two previous collections of poems, Wild Brides and Housekeeping In A Dream, and the novel Suspicious River. She has been the recipient of a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, and currently teaches at Washtenaw Community College in Michigan. AUTHOR: Laura Kasischke

 | Charisma by Steven Barnes
An attempt to imprint the successful character traits of a high-achieving man into the minds of a thousand poor and minority children takes an evil turn. The model for the imprinting, Alexander Marcus, is a wealthy African-American, powerful and influential. But he has a twisted dark side, and his proclivity for violence has been passed along to the children. The ensuing ethical dilemma--should the children be killed?--may be mere thought-experiment as the imprinted subjects decide not to wait around for the collective answer. AUTHOR: Steven Barnes
