 | Highwater
Release Date: April 17, 2002Although Lee Gerlach has been a prolific poet for forty years, publishing often and widely in literary magazines, Highwater is his first full-length book. The book is not really a collection of selected poems, as more than half of the poems come from a series of over 250 ghazals that Gerlach has written since 1985. The ghazal is one of the major forms of Persian and Urdu poetry. Gerlach has adapted the form, dispensing with its complex meter and refrain, and so putting the emphasis on the poems' imagery, spiritual yearnings, and--the most striking feature of the g...

 | Kiddie Lit: The Cultural Construction of Children's Literature in America
Publication Date: November 5, 2004| Grade Level: 17 and up The popularity of the Harry Potter books among adults and the critical acclaim these young adult fantasies have received may seem like a novel literary phenomenon.
