QuickviewThe Slip by George Tysh
PoetryHis engagement with the variable foot of William Carlos Williams gives a new spring and all to George Tysh’s remarkable collection The Slip. For much of the book, especially the haunting title poem, an isolated phrase appears, then the next descends, and then another, each open space miming the way breath appears in human speech, as an aid to understanding and an absolute electric charge—at times one of volcanic intensity. —Kevin Killian$16.00 -
QuickviewThe Solace of Islands by Ansie Baird
PoetryThe poet is master of her craft and poetic magic manifests in each poem. The magic is all the music of the poetry. Without question, the theme of this poetry is solemn, but there are sparks of humor and tenderness that light the way through the musical landscape. An island is, of course, an enclosed space, a protected place, for poet Ansie Baird the place of the very human heart. —Michael Basinski$16.00 -

QuickviewThe Sun & The Moon by Kristina Marie Darling
PoetryIn poems lit by an incendiary marriage, Kristina Marie Darling traces a story that begins, as stories often do, “as a small mark on the horizon.” Brave and haunted, these poems burn down to ash and winter, daring to unlock the spell of memory’s silver flashings. The small remains, like distant stars, make a moving portrait. —Mary Ann Samyn$16.00 -

QuickviewThe White Visitation by David Brennan
PoetryNot since the Book of Ecclesiastes has such litany been deployed to smack dab us with a wall of words. In The White Visitation, David Brennan pressure treats language, syntax, grammar, content into a layered labyrinthine quilted fabric of strata. One doesn’t so much as read as one peels, strips, skins the text—a sonic archeology, a narrative dig. Nothing new under the sun? Don’t count on it. The White Visitation is the plasma at the sun’s very core. —Michael Martone$16.00 -

QuickviewThief by Katrinka Moore
PoetryIn a series of interlocking text-image meditations and small narratives, Katrinka Moore’s Thief rewrites the literary impulse to claim. This thievery confesses our visitor status upon body, mind, land, and book and asks, “So, you select your shape purposefully? How to explore this obscure site? How does the world assemble?” The journey is gendered: how does a woman write into a literary and family history that was actually never so sure of its claims, its own thievery? – Jill Magi$18.00 -
QuickviewThis Visit by Susan Lewis
PoetryIn the fissures and gaps of a malleable lexicon, Susan Lewis’s playful, punning, musical lyrics create spaces for a reader to explore. In her “mythic stickiness” edges are blurred in service to an “everlasting loop.” Her poems are oddly intimate, full of a wise skepticism and a quirky grace — perhaps more of a place to live in than to visit. —Joanna Fuhrman$16.00 -
QuickviewThose Godawful Streets of Man by Stephen Bett
PoetryThis is an edgy, raw, harsh, gritty book about the contemporary cityscape—its block buildings; its loose, naked, spitting live wires; its plugged-in populace. A place where Borderliners, leeches, zombies, and drains fight it out over a man and a woman locked in a death grip.$16.00 -
QuickviewThree Suite by Christophe Casamassima
Poetry$16.00In Christophe Casamassima’s Three Suite, recombination and erasure make visible the edges of an intelligently empathetic poetics of rediscovery.

Casamassima skillfully weaves together a landscape in which the poem becomes total texture ... —Julia Bloch

QuickviewThrough a Certain Forest by Laura Madeline Wiseman
PoetryWe are given a field guide to trees in Laura Madeline Wiseman’s latest book of poetry Through a Certain Forest, realizing as we step in that we are deep in the mythos of ourselves. Each poem is a persona, each tree species recounting its survival from humans. Us homo sapiens are the trolls lurking through the middle of the collection. In the midst of bombings and ecological disasters caused by us is the private life of the speaker, too, living with her own personal troll. —Dennis Etzel, Jr$16.00 -

Quickviewto go without blinking by Aimee Herman
PoetryAimee Herman is a cyborg. Not in the sense of a mixture but: in her impetus. Her desire for a book to be a new kind of thinking and being in the world. As she writes in the startling Statement of Poetics that opens this passionate collection: ""This body of text practices trilingualism and contraction. Theories include gender confiscation and syntax dissection."" I liked that. A syntax that records what happens to a body even more than the words themselves. And that's just page one. Throw away ""the color pink,"" writes Herman, deeper in. —Bhanu Kapil$16.00 -
QuickviewTo Hush All The Dead by William Allegrezza
New Releases, PoetryA poet bountifully rooted in geography, Allegrezza transcends the usual sense of place. In To Hush All The Dead, he reveals that every one of us faces “The Natural Trail Marked,” simultaneously experiencing a lack of understanding and hard self-questioning, as a sense of direction seems “thrown to bits and folded in blue.” —Sheila E. Murphy$18.00 -

QuickviewTorched Verse Ends by Steven D. Schroeder
PoetryThese are the poems of a hooch-swilling layabout, shifty-eyed sneak thief, disagreeable cuss—in short, good work, but he scares my kids. That shaved head and Satanic goatee? The yelling about the government? —Aaron Anstett$16.00
