TOUGH SKIN by Sarah Eaton
PoetryA mash of elevated, classic sentence structure and roiling, discomfiting scenarios/vocab. These lines kick and punch against their form. What a fight! But within, you will find many attractive and apt aphorisms. —Stacey Levine$16.00 -

Trailers by Michael Basinski
PoetryWith Trailers, Michael Basinski engages in a Joycean celebration offloOwering. As he 'gave up and just repeated again and again singing softly, deeply with his eyes closed', the language bloomed past the letters, numerals, wingdings, webs and crickets into a dream language of the 'noise for active space.' — derek beaulieu$16.00 -

Transcendental Telemarketer by Beth Copeland
PoetryCopeland’s Transcendental Telemarketer contains beautiful lyrics of emotion and meditation, but it also contains rants against war and violence, and all the while it swings us from the U.S. to Japan to Afghanistan, from Islam to Buddhism to Christianity It’s compelling, playful, and well-crafted. —William Allegrezza$16.00 -

translanations one by William R. Howe
PoetryDickinson said that it's poetry if you feel as though the top of your head were taken off. But what if it’s the whole head, down to the shoulders? (Insert Goya image of Saturn and child here.) Howe’s “translanations” are in one sense disfigurations—horrendous manglings that shock not just because of their audacity in taking such liberties with their source texts, but because of the glistening viscera they expose. —K. Silem Mohammad$16.00 -

Transversales by Michael Gessner
PoetryThe poems in Michael Gessner’s new collection, Transversales, are formally dazzling—incisive, witty, and smart—but compassion tempers linguistic brilliance. In a series set in Paris, for instance, a visit (against advice) to the “labyrinth of tented markets,” the now-dangerous Market of Seine-Saint-Denis, is punctuated dramatically by fragmented quotations from Victor Hugo’s diary kept during the siege of Paris (1871). Quite simply, I am hooked on this book. Gessner’s poems are glory. —Cynthia Hogue$16.00 -

Two Books on the Gas by Jared Schickling
PoetrySchickling’s materiel-driven poetics mashes up a pre-ethicalized consciousness of the raw human reach for Life with the divination-pose of Fuel Speculation’s futurity e pluribus Unum. The “rational” to “irrational” spectrum of our present’s “present”, betrays an unspoken truth: the Republic of Fuel has, in fact, no sensate feel for time—at all. —Rodrigo Toscano$16.00 -

Two Dreams of the Afterlife by Kelly Bancroft
PoetryThe poems in Kelly Bancroft’s Two Dreams of the Afterlife are wild and beautiful as they create worlds from the ordinary made strange, and from the strange made predictable. The materials are everyday objects and events, especially our unavoidable deep connection to figures of popular culture (the Six Million Dollar Man, Wonder Woman, Hal the computer, and John Boy Walton). —Maggie Anderson$16.00 -

Übermütter’s Death Dance by Laura Hinton
Poetry"There is no way to make sense of a senseless death, but in Übermütter's Death Dance, Laura Hinton engages the senses to stay alive and to find, if not meaning, then some sort of vital force in the midst of tragedy. Hinton’s heterogeneous yet unified collection combines the rhetoric of documentation and daily life with the lyricism of dreams, visions and ritual. The result is profound, moving and mercurial." —Joanna Fuhrma$16.00 -

Un storia by Steve Timm
PoetrySteve Timm’s word spectrum is brave, unnerving, dazzling, commodious; with it he composes an elegantly minimalist poetics, humorously charted in one of the most satisfying TOCs I’ve read in a long time. Suggesting neo-Joycean abundance, it leads one instead to sculpted poems of unsparing leanness. —Joan Retallack$16.00 -

Un/Wired by Stephen Bett
PoetryIn this, his 18th book of poetry, internationally acclaimed Canadian poet Stephen Bett is back to working the sassy, edgy margins of social satire. Divided into four sections, this book opens with humor; turns to soft-edge and then to hard-edge, wicked, hilarious satire of our vapid monoculture; and concludes with a section of poems bringing in the angst of it all.$16.00 -

Uncomfortable Clowns ms #77 by James Hart III
PoetryThese poems by James Hart, III careen in the mind as they do down the page with an eagerness, to apprehend every given vicissitude of moment that comes their way. The tensions one finds, throughout the sequence, reflect the ever-fraught interface of inward and out, self and other, word and world. — Bill Berkson$16.00 -

Under the Impression by James Berger
PoetryUnder the Impression transverses the spongy dents in the surfaces of language and memory. Anti-lyrical and insistently lyrical, frank, interrogative, and punctuated with humor, Berger’s poems articulate brilliantly an inventive scepticism of the real world’s edges and fictions. —Orchid Tierne$16.00 -

VEL by Alan Sondheim
PoetryAlan Sondheim is a force of nature: a Category 5 mindstorm blowing in from all points of the compass at once. Coded and plain-speaking, philosophical and emotional, artistic and banal: to read Sondheim is to fall through a wormhole into a full world. And why shouldn't a work of art be a world’ His art is writing as a performance act even more direct than Allen Ginsberg speaking into his tape recorder. — Jim Rosenberg$16.00 -

Versus by Stacia M. Fleegal
PoetryStacia Fleegal just can’t stop creating serious noise in her poems. She’s a writer who isn’t afraid to make words crackle and snap, especially about how social class works in America, starting at the bottom and going up. So, fair to say, you should expect something other than the tame lyric in this collection. —Eloise Klein Heal$16.00 -

Vertigo Diary by Larry Sawyer
PoetryLarry’s poetry gives me the best kind of vertigo: the kind where you’re afraid of falling, but when you do you fall into a soft, meaty, sensual, smart ravine that shakes you pretty good, but instead of killing you it turns you into a Thinking Cocktail. What a scary and fine artist Mr. Sawyer is! —Andrei Codrescu$16.00
