QuickviewLittle Cliffs by Paul Naylor
New Releases, Poetry“Little Cliffs is a philosophical adventure story. Both characters (Kai and Chishō) and narrator struggle to transcend binaries while wandering the brushy canyonland of eastern San Diego and studying “The Uncertainty Sutra,” The Rule-Governed Sutra, “The Sutra That Shouldn’t Be Written,” etc. Narration enacts choice. Here choices are made, unmade, and remade in a prose poem as serious and light as a sutra.” —Rae Armantrout$16.00 -
QuickviewLove at the End by Wade Stevenson
New Releases, PoetryIn the formal immediacy of these new poems, Wade Stevenson practices elegy in the imperative mode, in the faithful idioms of amazement. And so it happens that he is vividly able to address evidence and events of loss in their proper bodies, in a tender, mutual anguish. Along the way, he discovers wild decorums of love in the embrace of annihilation. These poems are a consolation beyond consolation, an unprecedented heaven on earth. —Donald Revell$16.00 -
QuickviewMemeWars by Aldon Lynn Nielsen With E. Ethelbert Miller

QuickviewMingling Among by Paul Naylor
New Releases, PoetryPaul Naylor’s Mingling Among is a beautifully sustained, thought-provoking, and companionable prose poem in five interrelated sections.

QuickviewMy Aunt’s Abortion by Jane Rosenberg LaForge
New Releases, PoetryMy Aunt’s Abortion, a collection of essays and poetry by Jane Rosenberg LaForge, treks the landscape of family.

QuickviewMy Kinship With The Lotus Eaters by Lewis LaCook
New Releases, PoetryMy Kinship With The Lotus Eaters confirms Lewis LaCook’s status as an irresistible poet of sensuous, intelligent, surprising work. At the border of synesthesia (“Ellipses in a woodpecker’s throat”), ephemera take shape and miraculously last. —Sheila E. Murphy$16.00 -
QuickviewNightshades by Michael Gessner
New Releases, PoetryNightshades, Michael Gessner’s new and presciently-titled collection of poems, manages to captivate the reader on its opening pages, beginning with a deadpan, impossibly earnest manifesto titled “Expectations”—followed immediately by a pair of anaphoric poems that seem almost gleeful in their savvy irreverence. All of these offer the reader a highly promising springboard into a unique poetic adventure. —Marilyn L. Taylor$16.00
