 This is from our friend Carol Graser:
Dear Friends, I recently started running poetry workshops at Tryon Girls Center, a New York State juvenile detention center. I’ve been impressed with what fluid, expressive writing they produce and how much they love poetry. These girls have a lot of difficulty in the classroom but they sit attentively through the poetry workshop, are supportive of each others writing and engage in very profound discussions of the poems I bring for them to read. They would benefit greatly from more exposure to poetry but unfortunately, their library is doesn’t provide much. If some of you would be willing to donate a volume or two of poetry (or any book you feel would be relevant to them), it would go long way to helping these kids. The majority of girls in the Tryon are 15- or 16-years-old, although some are as young as 12. Almost 73 percent are African American or Hispanic, and many come from poorer neighborhoods in New York City. The majority of girls have suffered past physical and sexual abuse, and many need mental health care as well as treatment for drug and alcohol addiction. You can bring your donations to Caffè Lena on poetry night, Wed. Oct. 1. or contact me at cgraser@nycap.rr.com and we’ll figure something out. If you are able to help Carol out, please do what you can. This is a great cause and will be a good home for your poetry books. Labels: books, Caffe Lena

 We usually do not post stories and articles that are of a political nature on the Albany Poets blog, but we thought that this was an important issue since it took place right in our backyard. The following is the press release regarding a press conference marking the publication of the memoir of Yassin Aref, one of the two men convicted an FBI sting operation in Albany.
Albany, New York. –– “My dear friends––I would like to remind you about a few things, which I believe it is my duty to say from the deepest part of my heart and from the love and respect and concern that I hold for you and for all the people in this country. As God is my witness, I assure you and all of the American people that I did nothing against them, and I had no will or intention to harm them in any way. I came to this country only for my children’s future…God bless you all, and God bless this country.” With these words, Yassin Aref, a Muslim imam and one of the two men convicted in the FBI’s 2006 “sting” operation in Albany, ends his compelling new memoir, Son of Mountains, My Life as a Kurd and a Terror Suspect. To mark its publication, the Muslim Solidarity Committee will hold a press conference on Monday, March 10 at 1:30 p.m. in the Masjid As-Salam mosque, 278 Central Ave., Albany, to answer questions about the book and its author, who is currently incarcerated in the Communication Management Unit of the federal prison at Terre Haute, Indiana. Brief excerpts from Son of Mountains will be read at the press conference.
Son of Mountains will be available for sale, or can be ordered online, after March 10 at Book House in Albany; Market Block Books in Troy; The Book Loft in Great Barrington, MA; and Open Door Bookstore in Schenectady (in-store sales only). It can also be ordered online through The Troy Book Makers, the on-demand printing company in Troy that designed and printed it. Publication of Son of Mountains is a non-profit venture. After expenses, all proceeds from sales will go to the Aref Children’s Fund to benefit Yassin Aref’s four young children. Aref wrote Son of Mountains in five months in the Rensselaer County Jail in Troy, between his conviction in October 2006 and his sentencing one year ago, on March 8, 2007. Because English is his third language, two members of his legal team, Stephen Downs and Kathy Manley, and a professional editor, Jeanne Finley, worked with Aref over the past year to edit and assemble the book. It tells a story in prose and poetry that is much more than just “his side” of his arrest and conviction. It’s the story of a UN refugee who sought peace and freedom for himself and his family in America, and found just the opposite. It’s the story of a two-time immigrant who has struggled all his life just to survive. And it’s the autobiography of an Iraqi Kurd –– a “son of mountains” –– from a well-known religious family who grew up in poverty under the rule of Saddam Hussein, and who writes that “I have the whole of Kurdistan and all of my people with me in my tiny cell at the jail.” The narrative, divided into five parts, begins in Iraqi Kurdistan, and recounts Aref’s family, childhood, young adulthood, and marriage against the backdrop of the oppression of the dictator’s regime. Aref describes surviving the Anfal operation (the Kurdish genocide) in 1988–1989; fleeing with other Kurds to Iran in 1991 when the Iraqi army once again pursued them; and witnessing Kurdistan’s subsequent economic, political, and social ruin. The story then moves to Syria, where Aref immigrated and subsequently worked, went to college, and began a family; to America and Albany, where the Aref family was sent as refugees by the UN in 1999 and where, after 9/11, “the walls could see and hear”; to the Rensselaer County Jail, where Aref lived for eighteen months and wrote “Jail Stories” about his experiences and his fellow inmates; to “Beyond the Walls,” a short compilation on such topics as the teachings of Islam, human rights, Martin Luther King, social justice, the tragedy of Iraq, the dream of Kurdish independence, and the rule of law in America. The book ends with an outspoken essay by volunteer lawyer Stephen Downs that details how the government’s case against Aref was not a sting but a frame-up, with lives, families, and Constitutional rights sacrificed to America’s post-9/11 climate of fear. Coincidentally, the United States will mark the fifth anniversary of its invasion of Iraq on March 19, 2008. Aref, 37, was the imam (prayer leader) at the Masjid As-Salam in Albany from 2000 until the FBI executed its “sting” in 2004, raided and ransacked the mosque, and arrested both Aref and Mohammed Hossain, a pizza store owner and mosque member, on charges of aiding terrorism and money laundering. The fictional sting operation was designed to entrap the two Muslims by means of a paid informant/convicted felon and an imaginary plot to assassinate the Pakistani ambassador in New York City. At the end of the controversial 2006 trial in Albany, in which illegal and still-secret NSA wiretapping cast a penumbra of doubt on the evidence, the verdicts, and the constitutionality of the entire trial, Aref and Hossain were sentenced to fifteen years each in federal prison. Their sentences were reduced from the recommended thirty years by the trial judge because of the outpouring of community support for both men. Aref’s appeal will be heard by the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals in New York City on March 24. The Muslim Solidarity Committee was formed in October 2006 to help support the two defendants and their families and the Muslim community in the Capital District. The committee and supporters maintain two websites for public information on the cases:
nepajac.org/Aref&Hossain.htm , which features news of committee activities and efforts on behalf of Yassin Aref, Mohammed Hossain, and their families; and
www.yassinaref.com , “Justice for Yassin,” which features updated information on Aref’s case and a growing online collection of his new writing from prison. Son of Mountains, My Life as a Kurd and a Terror Suspect by Yassin Aref

 FootHills Publishing is pleased to announce the release of The Wild Twist of Their Stems a collection of poems by Carol Graser.
"As a longtime home schooling parent of three, this work is inspired and informed by the many mothers I've spent afternoons with, talking about and observing the incredible strength and creativity it takes to remain allies to our children. These are ecphrastic poems; attempts to describe the absolute artistry of raising children well. This collection is also a rough chronicle of the birth of my fourth child, from just before pregnancy, through birth and toddlerhood and, finally, to a young boy protesting the invasion of Iraq. " Carol Graser is an alumnus of Binghamton University where she studied under Milton Kessler. Her poetry has appeared in many literary, parenting and locals arts publications. She organizes and hosts a monthly poetry reading series at Saratoga Springs' historic Caffe Lena. Begun in 2003, these popular readings have featured an exciting range of poets from across the country. She performs her work at many poetry venues around the state as well as at anti-war rallies and other community events. Originally from Plattsburgh, NY, she now lives with her family at the southern end of the Adirondacks in Galway. THE WILD TWIST OF THEIR STEMS Like two fresh Buddhas they sit
on the top bunk, conspiring play
two Believers
two Thin Air Breathers
scalps closer to roof tops
than mine ever is She bubbles in like a bent-leg dancer
a flesh splasher
I'm the never-let-you-go catcher
but I always let her go He's the larger and climbs on his own
down to the rough rug, plant of our feet
He's the bold spirited leaper I apprenticed with I live like a gardener
doggedly tending the wild twist of their stems
fending off what I can of disease
It is impossible work
rooted where they are
and though their beauty demands
more strength than I lately possess
still I persist
in refusing to abandon the effort The Wild Twist of Their Stems is a 68 page hand-sewn book with spine - $14.00

There are also musings about life, literature, friendship, and the bliss and pain that comes with searching for, finding, and losing love.
"Charlie Rossiter's book takes us a high-speed journey into memory and the past. It makes the 60's come alive again. More importantly, it makes us laugh and cry. Tender, funny, evocative, this book is one not to be missed."

 James Kilpatrick has an opinion piece up on Yahoo! News talking about the newest US Poet Laureate Charles Simic. Kilpatrick touches on the fact that he had never heard of Simic or his poetry until last month, even as a poet and poetry lover himself.
"The United States has a new poet laureate. He is Charles Simic of New Hampshire. In the small world of poetry, his name is known quite well. Born in Yugoslavia in 1938, he immigrated to the United States in the 1950s. After a brief period in Chicago, he settled in New England. He has written 18 books of poetry and half a shelf of other works. He won the Pulitzer for poetry in 1990. This year he won the $100,000 Wallace Stevens award for poetry. Until he became our poet laureate earlier this month, I had never heard of the gentleman. And I have loved poetry, and written bad verse, since I first met Mary and her little lamb 80-odd years ago..." For those who do not know who he is, Charles Simic has been regarded as one of America's finest poets who has the ability to write about the deeper meaning in the ordinary aspects of life. He is the author of 18 books of poetry. He is also an essayist, translator, editor and professor emeritus of creative writing and literature at the University of New Hampshire Some of his books of poetry include Night Picnic: Poems (2001), Jackstraws (1999), a New York Times Notable Book of the Year; Walking the Black Cat (1996), a finalist for the National Book Award in poetry; A Wedding in Hell (1994); Hotel Insomnia (1992); and Selected Poems: 1963-1983.

 Five books, including three works of fiction and two works of non-fiction, were announced as finalists for Schenectady County's popular One County One Book (OCOB) program at the Schenectady County Public Library on Wednesday, August 15. For the first time in the program's three-year history, non-fiction books placed in the final five.
The books are: Before You Know Kindness, a family saga about the aftermath of a gun fire accident; by Chris Bohjalian; Hiroshima, John Hershey's collection of first person accounts after the atomic bomb was dropped; The Kite Runner, Khaled Hosseini's epic tale of fathers and sons in Afghanistan that takes the reader from the final days of the monarchy to the atrocities of the present; Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting by in America, Barbara Ehrenreich, this premier reporter of the underside of Capitalism gives a first hand account of surviving at the poverty level; and Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen, a compelling and gritty story set amid life in a traveling circus during the Great Depression. "Ample quantities of all five books are available at the Central Library and all branches," said co-chair Carol Raphael who is an SCPL Trustee. "Individuals are encouraged to read all of the books prior to casting their
one vote for their favorite title." "The topical diversity and literary quality of these books is phenomenal," said 2008 OCOB co-chair and SCPL Trustee Carl Erikson. "The selection process was very inclusive, involving open nominations from the public, meeting established criteria and a review of all nominated books by a community-based selection committee." The established criteria included that the books lend themselves well to programs and discussion and are available in audio-book, large-print and paperback editions. A total of 130 individual book titles were nominated by the community this year. The previous two OCOB selections were Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird in 2006 and Jodi Picoult's My Sister's Keeper in 2007. The final book will be decided by the community.
