Beloved on the Earth: 150 Poems of Grief and Gratitude

We are happy to announce that Beloved on the Earth: 150 Poems of Grief and Gratitude by Jim Perlman, Deborah Cooper, Mara Hart, and Pamela Mittlefehldt (eds.) and published by Holy Cow! Press, has been chosen by independent booksellers as a part of the "Indie Next List" for November.

"Beloved on the Earth is the best book on the subject that I've come across. Beautiful pieces from May Sarton, Rilke, Mary Jo Bang, and Jane Kenyon are included, but you will make many other discoveries, too. Full of warming and wise poems, this is a collection that will help readers find comfort and solace."
-- Linda Grana, Lafayette Book Store, Lafayette, CA

"The Indie Next List, drawn from bookseller-recommended favorite handsells, epitomizes the heart and soul of passionate bookselling. Independent booksellers are and have always been discoverers of the next big thing, the next great read, the next bestseller, and the next undiscovered gem."
-- American Bookseller's Association

Holy Cow! Press was founded in 1977 by Jim Perlman in Minneapolis, Minnesota with the primary goal of publishing the very best Midwest writings they can find, and to develop an audience regionally and nationally for these books. Most recently, Shelter Half by Carol Bly, published by Holy Cow!, was chosen as an Oprah Magazine recommendation for the July 2008 issue. Holy Cow! Press has been located here in Duluth since 1988.

We think they are doing an excellent job, and we hope you do too.
