"I can’t think of an easier pick for a book club than a page-turning murder mystery with multifaceted characters, a profoundly satisfying ending, and plenty to induce a spirited debate! In COLD COUNTRY, Russell Rowland places his finger on the pulse of a small Montana ranching community and the outsiders hoping to set up a home there. Writing in the tradition of Hemingway, Steinbeck, and McCarthy, Rowland’s powerful style fools with its simplicity, and he often turns his eye toward the harsh realities of daily living (stitching the wounds of livestock, facilitating a birth, disciplining a child) to uncover beauty, tenderness, and meaning. As he digs deep into the hearts of his characters, we recognize our own tangled relationships, the burden of the secrets we keep, our own prejudices, our fears of being alone, unloved, or unwanted. Like the land he writes about, this book will leave you humbled, wrestling, and in awe." --Susan Henderson, author of Up from the Blue and Flicker of Old Dreams

"Years ago, I wrote that Russell Rowland was like a cross between Richard Ford and John Irving. I hereby revise that opinion. He’s better. He’s warmer, more relaxed—and also more alert to the tensions between people. There’s a moment early in the book where a key character tastes some blood in his mouth during a quiet 'neighborhood chat.' I’ve had that moment—in a faraway, very different place. I was suddenly right there in Rowland’s world, in the shadow of the Bighorn Mountains. That’s fine writing. I try not to taste blood in my mouth often. COLD COUNTRY is one of the best books I’ve read in half a century of very hard living and reading."--Kris Saknussemm, author of Private Midnight and Reverend America

"Russell Rowland’s new novel, set in the shadow of the Bighorn Mountains, is a murder mystery of sorts, but while readers are rapidly turning pages to learn who did it, they’ll also find that Rowland is peeling away the layers of a larger mystery: how can it be that those to whom we are closest—our friends, our neighbors, our family members—remain so unknowable to us?  COLD COUNTRY is remarkable in many respects, perhaps chiefly in the way Russell Rowland finds extraordinary drama in ordinary lives."-- Larry Watson, author of Montana 1948 and Let Him Go

Praise for The Milk Hours

"Ruminative and tender as the collection's title suggests . . . These poems care deeply, and they give the reader the language to do so." —Los Angeles Review of Books

"Mysterious, ethereal . . . [James's poems] retain this feeling: souls rooted in the ground." —The Millions

"James is a poet of staggering lyricism, intricate without ever obscuring his intent. Quite simply, The Milk Hours announces the arrival of a great new talent in American poetry." —Shelf Awareness

"The poems in this luminous volume shift effortlessly between lexicons and registers . . . James's skillful craftsmanship makes this a memorable debut." —Publishers Weekly

“‘Home is a question,’ writes John James in The Milk Hours, a remarkable debut in which sorrow leads to an astonishing intimacy with the world. The speaker is pensive but inquisitive, bewildered by the loss of a father and renewed by love and parenthood. Art, science, and travel, like mortality, become tethers to the elegant and chaotic truths of our world. The Milk Hours is a moving and urgently crafted testament to resilience and to beauty.”—Eduardo C. Corral

“The titular poem in John James’s debut collection refers not only to the luminous hour of infant nurture, although that is its occasion, but to the violent loss of his father, an event distant enough that ‘snowmelt smoothes the stone cuts of his name.’ James’s searing attention is upon the fleeting, the untethered, upon fecundity and decay, the cosmic and the molecular. These are also the poems of a young father’s daily life in the wane of empire, who wishes ‘to remember things purely, to see them / As they are,’ and who recognizes in what he sees our peril. ‘The end,’ he writes, ‘we’re moving toward it.’ James is, then, a poet of our precarious moment, and The Milk Hours is his gift to us.”—Carolyn Forché

“I can’t remember a collection of poems with a greater variety of trees in it than The Milk Hours, or one that has left me so conscious of the centrality of the tree to human history, or for that matter, to humanness itself—from the microscopic branches of our nerve endings to the vast tentacular dust lanes of the galaxy we live in. Impeccably constructed, profoundly felt, and every bit as gorgeous as it is full of powerful observation (a candlewick’s ‘braided cotton converting to ember,’ dead stars that throw ‘cold light through the black matter / of millennia’), The Milk Hours is a startlingly mature, exhilarating debut, and one whose urgent evocation of the past and confident reaching for what lies ahead ensure it a prominent place in our present.”—Timothy Donnelly
 
“The poetry of the earth is intensely alive in the poems of John James. In this luminous first book, there are poems of a son and a young father. Many of the best inhabit a tormented Kentucky landscape where there is a field with horses, a house and a barn, a flooding river, a cemetery where a parent lies, and bees or flies hovering. Out of the sorrowful fragments of personal history, John James has a created a book of unusual intelligence and beauty.”—Henri Cole

Praise for John James

“John James does as that first singer did, Caedmon, who sang because he was told he must do so—a song of praise, of animals and life, of land and blood and time. Such work is wholly personal and completely anonymous, embedded in the very life and limb whose limits it also astonishingly resists.”—Dan Beachy-Quick

“An unflinching observer, John James writes with a patient honesty and a lyric beauty that will leave you ringing.”—Ada Limón

“John James’s poems dig deep as he asks us to join him at the edge of his excavations, to see what he’s unearthed, and we can’t help but look until we see it too.”—Portland Book Review

“The book can … be fruitfully used by a broad variety of scientists, from researchers working on related theoretical disciplines (mathematicians, computer scientists) to researchers working on various applications (e.g., linguists, engineers, biologists).” (Benedek Nagy, Mathematical Reviews, June, 2020)“The book provides a concise theoretical treatment of a selection of advanced string-grammar formalisms used particularly in formal language theory. … This research monograph can serve as an excellent reference for non-standard grammar formalisms with a strong focus on regulation. All relevant results are presented in full detail and proper references are provided to the original literature. The mentioned applications serve as motivation, but the main emphasis is clearly on the exposition of thetheoretical results.” (Andreas Maletti, zbMATH 1385.68002, 2018)
