The overriding theme of Sin Eater, Reichard’s fourth collection of poetry, is one of creating balance in our lives between public brightness and private shadow. Cihlar’s poetry collection, Undoing, displays an emotional richness and range authenticated by details of domestic disarray.(Sin Eater, Mid-List Press, $13.00; Undoing, Little Pear Press, $15.00) | 20

The As the Worm Turns Book Discussion Group will discuss Cold Comfort Farm by Stella Gibbons (Penguin, $15.00). When the recently orphaned socialite Flora Poste descends on her relatives at the aptly named Cold Comfort Farm in deepest Sussex, she finds a singularly miserable group and proceeds to organize everyone out of their romantic tragedies into the pleasures of normal life. Jackie Byers will facilitate the discussion. Space is limited, so please call to reserve your place. | 21

All her life, Meg Lindsay's mother told her what a disappointment she was. In Meg's opinion, no one could be a worse mother than the woman who gave birth to her, until Meg has a child of her own to care for. After Meg and her husband, Lewis, adopt a girl from an orphanage in China, Meg's love for her new daughter grows daily, but the tension, fear, and uncertainty of motherhood drive Meg to the brink of despair. Fearing that she is becoming the kind of mother she hates, she fights circumstance, rebellion, a loving but at times tense marriage, setbacks, and the native selfishness that lives in all of us. | 22
