The Quacks of Quedlinburg elevated designer Wolfgang Warsch into stardom! His bag-building, potion-making, push-your-luck title has captured the hearts of boardgamers everywhere. Due to its immense popularity, an expansion soon landed - The Herb Witches. Now, thanks to publishers Schmidt Spiele, Quacks of Quedlinburg has a Big Box! Big Box, you ask? That's right: this combines both The Quacks of Quedlinburg and The Herb Witches into one big, erm... box. In the base game of Quacks, 2-5 players compete at the Quedlinburg fayre to brew the best concoction. You start with a bag full of basic ingredients, and you draw them one at a time. Each ingredient you toss into your cauldron, the further around the spiral it goes. And the further your spiral progresses, the more impressive your potion. The more money it's worth. But beware... If you add in too many cherry bombs, your pot's going to go boom! Say goodbye to your eyebrows - and the respect of the crowd! You can stop drawing tokens whenever you like. But that's the clincher: how lucky do you feel? Could you risk one or two more ingredients? If you stop before the explosion threshold, you earn money to spend on better ingredients to add into your bag. Plus points. Precious victory points! If you blow up, you only earn one of these two rewards. And that's bitter medicine to swallow! The Herb Witches, meanwhile, adds in extra Ingredient Books. These provide even more modular possibilities. You can mix and match these during set-up to help create a ton of variety with regards to bag-building. The Witches themselves also grant the players powers. Spend them wisely, and you could reap the rewards. There's also a promotional mini-module included in this Big Box: Wolfgang's Exchange Office. The Quacks of Quedlinburg: Big Box provides all the fun and variety you could ever need. We've said it once, we'll say it again: be careful around those cherry bombs... Player Count: 2-5 Players Time: 45 minutes Age: 10+

Seek and you will find. (Poems that speak to you)
Format: Paperback
I was not familiar with his work but have become a fan. Of course, as is true of my review of most poets work, I find more of the author's poems that I don't get or can't appreciate than ones I do; however, I found enough which moved me or had some profound impact that I am keeping this collection close for re-reading.

Above the River: The Complete Poems of James Wright
Format: Paperback
James Wright is a terrific, though not well known, American poet of the 1950's and 60's. Along with Robert Bly and William Duffey, Wright helped to open a new page in modern poetry which encouraged writers to break from the restrictions of traditional British formats. Personal and reflective, the poems focus on nature and have a strong touch of influence from ancient Chinese poets. Though the collection is filled with great stuff, my favorite is "Northern Pike."

Sublime Poetry Slightly Flawed by Format
Format: Paperback
I hate to give this work anything less than 5-stars, because at the moment (and probably most future moments) I revere James Wright's poetry. He makes blue collar blackened river Ohio come alive riven death with darkness and life. So this book is a must for poetry lovers. Where it distracts me is the attempts at completeness is a difficult editor's dilemma and one that doesn't serve the poet or the poet's reader well here. There are two James Wright's out there (this book presents three), as is true with most sublimated artist that pass through a learning phase before hitting on their voice, their style. James Wright started as a formalist (not my favored style) hailing structure and rhyme sometimes at the expense of meaning and language (disclaimer...one man's humble opinion belies a personal taste and no two taste buds seem the same). The book of course being a complete work, offers all of those poems of bandied prose. And then the editor offers a bridge or break of sorts in Wright's translated works of German and Spanish poets. Wright was a great poet in English, but the gift of gifted translation should have been left to the likes of W.S. Merwin, Anthony Kerrigan, Charles Tomlinson, and Stephen Mitchell for Neruda, Paz, and Rilke. So, Wright's "Above the River," really first breaks the surface on page 119 after his epiphany to all thing free form. It is then that his poetry sings darkly. I leave you with some of Wright's beautiful language (there's plenty to be had). Buy the book for the rest. In Fear of Harvests It has happened Before: nearby, The nostrils of slow horses Breathe evenly, And the brown bees drag their high garlands, Heavily, Toward hives of snow.

A Twentieth Century Teasure
Format: Paperback
James Wright's poems are acts of courage. His persistent advocacy of the underdog is real and clear-eyed(American Twilights 1957, written fo the executed killer Caryl Chessman). "Arrangements with Earth for Three Dead Friends" is one of the most moving elegies I know in the language (taken from his early career). Then there are the wonderful and luminous translations "ten Short Poems: from the Spanish of Juan Ramon Jiminez, Pablo Neruda's "Anguish of Death", Cesar Vallejo's "I Am Freed" and many others. These are vital and wide-ranging poems that belong in every library.

Wow! Wright Rocks!
Format: Paperback
This collection brings together both the greater & lesser known works of James Wright so that students or lovers of poetry can get a true feeling for his style & focus. Some pieces seem less focused, while others hone in with cruel beauty on those moments where the literal and the figurative worlds collide. Brilliant poet. I recommend this book especially to serious students of poetry.
