QuickviewSMEAR by Andrew Brenza

QuickviewSongBu®st by Stephen Bett
New Releases, PoetryStephen Bett’s new book SongBu®st sounds like a ship-wrecked wit (“We are coast people”) riffing at the end of the world. Here you’ll find snippets of old American pop songs morphed into takes on gun carnage and quotes from tech bros, each separated from the other by an “infrathin delay.” —Rae Armantrout$18.00 -
QuickviewSunday Double Suicide by Goro Takano

QuickviewSung: Ink in love & lust by Mick Raubenheimer
New Releases, PoetryRaubenheimer’s voice is a unique one – a solitary one – one that is rarely heard in South Africa, or even rarely heard this side of consciousness. Some of these poems are like snapshots – short-lined, frequently employing eye-popping wordplay, but always with precision and economy of measure. They can be light-hearted and humourous, yet still cast a pebble into the depths of profundity or even blackness, fear, dark rituals – ‘the violence of magic’. —Gary Cummiskey$18.00 -

QuickviewTest Camp by Randy Prunty
New Releases, PoetryIn these pages an absorbent and meditative mind faces a world of unrelenting transit.

QuickviewThat Woman Could Be You by Vi Khi Nao + Jessica Alexander
New Releases, Poetry, SuperstarsLike Anne Charlotte Robertson's Five Year Diary seen through a fervid haze, its Super 8 frames fractaling in and out of memory's forlorn theatrics, the pieces in this book invite the reader on a jaunt of vanishingly small, gigantic, public, and intimate dimensions. Accept the invitation. Reel with all the ways That Woman Could be You. –– ALI RAZ$22.00 -
QuickviewThe Breath by Cindy Savett
New Releases, PoetryCindy Savett’s The Breath accesses and occupies the territory, real and true, where the living can dwell with the dead. The speaker’s beloved daughter lives on, in spirit and lyric, as she “steps into the stable of vanished gods.” Savett’s skillful elegies hold the daughter’s hand and reader’s attention across the threshold. — Jason Labbe, author of Spleen Elegy$16.00 -
