QuickviewMarine Layer by Kit Robinson
Poetry, SuperstarsKit Robinson convects his frontal systems through Marine Layer, happy to be enveloped in its fog while somehow always letting its poems breathe. Information sizzles in these data dispatches from the twenty-first century: poetry as a news feed that knows just enough to trust what happens next, lifting the fog—for us all—on the movable things of song. —Miles Champion$16.00 -
QuickviewMasks by Victor Coleman
PoetryVictor Coleman has played with and explored the subtleties of Oulipian procedures for many years, bringing his own imagination and impeccable ear to the revivifying possibilities arrangement offers poetry in lieu of the predictable outpourings of “identity” in the Commercial Poetry Product. With Masks he has reached a point that leaves you breathless in the face of mastery. —Michael Boughn$16.00 -
QuickviewMeet Me at the Happy Bar by Steve Langan
PoetryI'm consistently jealous of Steve Langan's small-a absurdist accuracy, not to mention his unfailing ability to dredge gorgeous song from the hum of the normal. Meet Me at the Happy Bar is sharp, sad, sassy, and frighteningly alive. —Graham Foust$16.00 -
QuickviewMemeWars by Aldon Lynn Nielsen With E. Ethelbert Miller
Critical Thinking, New Releases, Poetry$22.00As you begin Memewars, think of Ethelbert Miller’s leading questions as melodies, recognizable tunes, and Nielsen’s responses as harmolodic extensions, waxing nostalgic, and just as moving, just as important, playing all the changes on a prolific career and life in music and writing. —Tyrone Williams

Poetry, SuperstarsAmerica has been awaiting the arrival of a poet like this for a generation. —Barn Owl Review$16.00 -
QuickviewMingling Among by Paul Naylor
New Releases, PoetryPaul Naylor’s Mingling Among is a beautifully sustained, thought-provoking, and companionable prose poem in five interrelated sections. Taking the paragraph as his primary unit of composition, scenes are rendered in ever-changing frames of time, scale, and location, in a measured if kaleidoscopic inquiry into the possibility of overcoming our obsession with binary constructions and the domination of nature. —Ted Pearson$18.00 -
QuickviewMinnows Small as Sixteenth Notes by Norma Kassirer edited by Ann Goldsmith and Edric Mesmer

QuickviewMiscellaneous Debris by Nicolas Mansito III
PoetrySurfing the emotional sea, this latest collection from Nick Mansito tosses the soul from crest to deep. Brilliant! Exciting! A beautiful look into the roller coaster soul of the poet. A perfect blend of heart and spleen, this is Mansito at his best. If this is ""debris,"" then it's time for poetry lovers everywhere to go dumpster-diving! ~ G. R. Maddison$16.00 -
QuickviewMOCK TROUGH RASPING CROW by Billy Cancel
PoetryReading MOCK TROUGH RASPING CROW I was captivated in much the same way as when I watched billy cancel perform, though the masks & at times flamboyant costumes were missing I was caught up in the language, dark humor, magic & surreal screwball imagery. This is 1 of those rare instances where performance poetry transfer perfectly from page to stage & vice-versa so “don’t let your attention wander” as cancel puts it, MTRC is about “everything at once / or something all the time.” Grab it, crack it open & try, if you dare, to figure it out. —Steve Dalachinsky$16.00 -
QuickviewMolloy the Flip Side by Chris Tysh
PoetryMolloy: The Flip Side transcreates the first half of Beckett's 1951 French novel, narrated by its eponymous anti-hero who is slowly going nowhere. The hobo lyrics of Tysh's book-length poem open up the unendurable abyss of being, yet zing with vernacular and zany humor: ""Gotta check out soon/ Be done with dying,"" Molloy says, but there's a few things he must do first. And so begins the uncanny journey in this poetic B-side of Beckett's masterpiece.$16.00 -
QuickviewMoon Talk by Wade Stevenson
PoetryWilliam Carlos Williams wrote it is always proper to talk about the moon. Rite about the moon: “Moon Talk” by Wade Stevenson, a hypnotic tide rocks within the waves of this book, the power of the tide, forces push and pull throughout “Moon Talk”, the talk that rocks and swaddles the ear with heart. —Michael Basinski$16.00
