Quickviewgnōstos by Irene Koronas (Volume VII, The Grammaton Series)
New Releases, PoetryKoronas makes me see words that aren’t there. Her gnōstos is mantic, and her Sophia—the liquid crystal wombed God—inseminates with ink, strumous as an ethotic alley (i.e., a post-bodied diachronic polysemic strangulation). gnōstos is our proleptic apocalypse; “the last Oedipus/licks his gonads.” —Tom Prime$20.00 -
QuickviewGODZENIE by Marcus Slease
PoetryThese are not merely some of the most extraordinary lyrics about central European urban realities since the death of the great Polish experimental poet Miron Bialoszewski. They are, simply put, some of the most extraordinary lyrics I have ever read about how to live with disciplined joy in the continual alienation that is urban life. —Gabriel Gudding$16.00 -
QuickviewGoing Head To Head by Wade Stevenson
PoetryGoing Head to Head is a book-length poem meditating on life through the lens of the head, the senses it captures in the natural world, and the turmoil inside the mind. In this sonorous collection, we have the yoyo head, the shrunken head, the coin head, the disembodied head, and the conjoined head. — Martin Ott$16.00 -

QuickviewGoodbye Public and Private by James Sanders
PoetryGoodbye Public and Private is the work of a barbarian Thomas Edison—poems that are not simply wildly inventive but rather the end-result of a perpetual cycle of creation, destruction, and re-creation of poetic convention on every page. “[A]s a series of discarded habits,” Sanders offers us everything from diagram poems—the21 st century equivalent of Charles Peirce's logical graphs—to procedural, conceptual, concrete, hand-written, hand-drawn poems driven as much by sight and sound as sense. We are awash in language and we are grateful. – Lori Emerson$16.00 -
QuickviewGradually the World: New and Selected Poems, 1982 – 2013 by Burt Kimmelman
Poetry, SuperstarsThe specificity of Burt Kimmelman's poems has, for more than thirty years, been a singularly locating force. It situates us in space, in relation to the luminosity of objects, art, and one another. That every shadow of wonder can stand forth in the most familiar words is the gift this poet offers his readers time and again. – Susan Howe$18.00 -
Quickviewgrief notes by rob mclennan
PoetryGood grief! mclennan—in elision of subject, omission of object, in suppression of narrative—has rewritten the grammar of love. He jiggers love radically in suspended prepositions. He newly measures it in hesitations and in the innumberable small moments between comma and semi-colon. Those discretions. —Dennis Cooley$16.00 -

QuickviewHaving Broken, ARE by Evelyn Reilly

QuickviewHeisenberg’s Salon by Susan Lewis
PoetryTiny stories, or large poems, Susan Lewis’s writing features exacting, figurative frames, windows in which glimpses of oneself are prismy, apposed by some other real—allegory—sounded in language’s slanted order (ardor?—(yes)). —Dale Smith$16.00
