Quickview26 Tears by George Tysh / Chris Tysh
Poetry, SuperstarsWhat an abracadabra of abecedarian magic is 26 Tears! Evoking the Aramaic avra kehdabra, "I will create as I speak," this collaborative incantation weaves a magical spell of language. Two poets riff in alphabetical measure with illuminating literary texts, an epidemic, and a quotidian of political angst. — Maureen Owen$18.00 -
Quickview2X2 by Martine Bellen
PoetrySmart, funny, at once spare and lyrically lush, this mythic tale of a lost girl stalking her lost double will pull you delightedly along with its swift narrative—pull you up short when it makes you stop and think. Martine Bellen is an astonishing writer. —Rilla Askew$16.00 -
Quickview3rd & 7th by Nicolas Mansito III
PoetryReading Nicolás Mansito's first book I am reminded that the Latin verb "to read," legere, means to choose, to select, and that reading, and in fact all writing, is an act of bricolage. This book of poems reminds that every free act, of both making and being, arises from a bondage to what simply /is/. And from there we fiddle and tinker our way to wisdoms. A book you'll be grateful to own. —Gabriel Gudding,$16.00 -
QuickviewA Dictionary In The Subjunctive by Damian Weber
PoetryIn his new book, Damian Weber, one of Buffalo’s best-loved poet, publisher, singer and songwriter offers a magnificent display of minimalism. Fully illustrated, these short poems start as dictionary definitions that evolve into love poems, which in turn develop into poems detailing the pain of miscommunication that harbors within a relationship between two people.$16.00 -
QuickviewA Field Guide to the Rehearsal by Dennis Barone
Fiction, New Releases, PoetryDennis Barone’s A Field Guide to the Rehearsal is a most unique book, an open-form, subtly off-beat narrative, a mixture of poetry and prose, of memory and concrete, image-filled metaphysics. —David Cappella$16.00 -
QuickviewA Lyrebird, Selected Poems of Michael Farrell by Michael Farrell; Editor Jared Schickling
Poetry, SuperstarsEnter A Lyrebird and you open onto a polyphony of slang and nuance. Expect a humorous disorientation and deep travel through undersides of all that can be said and borrowed. Just in time, since mono-culture cannot know itself, Michael Farrell’s deft bravery transmutes English and gives us journeys out. —Sarah Riggs$18.00 -
QuickviewA Mountain Of Past Lives & Things I’ve Learned by Skyler Jaye
Poetry"Each of the Past-lives, each written into a Mountain its own, also seems to fit into an open hand. I found myself snapping and ooo-ing and mmm-ing along because even black on white paper, the words take a stage." —Ashley Wylde$16.00 -

QuickviewA Shopping Mall on Mars By Patrick Chapman
PoetryMany of the poems in A Shopping Mall on Mars, Patrick Chapman's fourth collection, take a wry and satirical look at the dangerous new world in which we find ourselves, looking back with a certain nostalgia at the relative innocence of the nuclear age. Others offer compassionate yet unsparing insights into death, madness and childhood. A few speculate with science-fictional clarity on the kind of future we might be heading towards. This is work of the finest order from one of the most original Irish poets of the last two decades.$16.00 -
QuickviewA Testament To Love & Other Losses by Wade Stevenson
PoetryThe suspicion that writing will be the last utopia is wonderfully fulfilled by the extraordinary promise and quivering present of Wade Stevenson’s lyrical, deep and lustrous oeuvre. —Geoffrey Gatza$16.00 -
QuickviewA Thousand Words and Others by George Tysh
PoetryGeorge Tysh's two-part take on presence and absence is rooted in jazz and painting, French and Mandarin, memory and longing, in a recto-verso approach to structure. Its first bareboned section, "A Thousand Words," is 100 pages, ten words per page, set in columns that give a nod to classical stanza form. Part Two, "and Others," a coda of sparse lyrics, fills out the tone of what is barely implied in Part One. In a mixture of vernacular and stark poetics, he produces a book-length series that experimental novelist Lynn Crawford calls, "Lush. Rhythmic. Disturbing. Gorgeous."$16.00 -
Quickviewa womb-shaped wormhole by j/j hastain
Poetryj/j hastain is a seer. Writing from the liminal space between the ethereal and the corporeal, filled with bestiaries of the soul and spine-broken books, hastain has composed ""an activist-narrative of place"", where the body is but ""a fretted tangle"" to be worried apart, and then knotted again. Stitched in the language of sinew and fiber, a womb-shaped wormhole is transcendent, stretching past our mere genders, our temporal selves. —Benjamin Winkler$16.00
