In Studies in Poetry, J.M. Beach traces the history of poetry and poetic philosophy in the West. Beach provides a comprehensive, yet selective look into the more "radical" figures of English and American literature, and a topical exploration of Western Poetic Theory, centered on a humanistic mysticism specifically on romantic theories of the mind and subjectivity. This book will give students a generalized, yet relevantly contemporary definition of "poetry," through an in-depth exploration of several poet's major works and themes."

Where A Painter Is A Poet is J. M. Beach's 4th volume of poetry. This is a reprint of his original work, which was first published in 2002.

When it is first stumbled upon, love is wonderfully luminous, powerful, perplexing, sometimes paralyzing. If we are lucky it lasts for days or months or years or even decades, until through time that connection becomes like air, unseen yet felt, and utterly a part of our being, defying even distance and death. This condition, this experience, this activity, this feeling, it cannot be known or adequately named. It can only be felt as a living presence. In our ignorance and frailty, we call it "love."
