QuickviewNomads with Samsonite by Timothy Bradford
PoetryTimothy Bradford gnaws on the big questions: should I run with my pack, or should I go it alone? Where to find enlightenment? What is a dead animal? What is the spirit’s realm? The mind falls into its quandaries, and the body, drunk with it, tags along. These poems, roving across continents, restlessly seek to locate consciousness in the world, a universe which “opens like a tulip / or closes like a fist,” where the poet is not afraid to admit: “I forget / which.” —Eleni Sikeliano$16.00 -
QuickviewNon Sequitur Syndrome by Goro Takano
PoetryIn this book, the desire for clarity is pitted against the lust for ambiguity, and the desire to be saved collides with the urge to self-destruct. Also, in this book, what I am (as male, father, widower, heterosexual, poet, Japanese native living in Japan, and so on) coexists with what I am not. —Goro Takano$16.00 -
QuickviewNotes on a Past Life by David Trinidad
Poetry, SuperstarsIn Notes on a Past Life, David Trinidad exorcises the ghosts of New York with a compulsively readable, wrenching memoir in verse. His “Goodbye to All That” offers a critique of ambition, an ode to community, and a sip of the poison that poetry is, in the end, the antidote to. —Eula Biss$16.00 -
QuickviewO by Jared Schickling
PoetryJared Schickling, the Poetry of the imagination expansive, no master, not forms that restrict, not the commercialism of print. Not the Government of Poetry, with this an anarchistic being is where all might of the elemental as a construction without end with wisdom and magic, behold begins a future —Michael Basinski$16.00 -
QuickviewOccasion Poems by Diane Christian
PoetryOccasion poems were suggested by colleague, friend, and poet Robert Creeley, who thought it would be a good idea to have poems for various occasions made up as ink stamps, ready to imprint on a postcard and send off for occasions. Unlike occasional poems tied to specific persons and events, they have a broader human reach.$16.00 -
Quickviewocean plastic by Orchid Tierney
PoetryIt is with intuition rather than calculation that Tierney's #ocean plastic# forages, gathers and arranges. With intuition chosen over calculation, Tierney's unit of measure is a unit of matter. Responding to the pipeline with the ethics of the poetic line, Tierney's particular attention models a dwelling among that can teach both how and why we might turn the plastic we find into an ecology of ethics. —Michelle Taransky$12.00 -
QuickviewOf Some Sky by Joseph Harrington
PoetryIf it’s indeed darkest before the dawn, then we should immerse ourselves in Joseph Harrington’s Of Some Sky and hope – because it doesn’t get much darker than this. This book surveys the terrain we inhabit now (in the mid-Anthropocene) somewhere between the devil and the rising seas. —Rae Armantrout$16.00 -
QuickviewOne Year In A Paper Cinema by Travis Cebula
PoetryNobody looks in the newspaper to see what's on TV anymore. For that kind of news, we have to go to poems—specifically, Travis Cebula's pitch-perfect One Year in a Paper Cinema, whose shapely, lyrico-epigrammatic interfaces with a year's worth of TV listings in The Denver Post pull open the gauzy curtain separating ""art"" and ""life"" to reveal something at once fresh and recycled, mysteriously stochastic and predatorily pre-programmed. Almost as soon as this book was finished, the Post stopped printing this section. Thank goodness for the celerity of visionary poets! —K. Silem Mohammad$16.00 -
QuickviewOngoing Repairs to Something Significant by Linda King
PoetryLinda King’s new collection is filled with poems that reflect on their own making, considering the rules of narrative with wit, subtlety, and grace. Here you will find language interrogated from within its most familiar structures, singing all the while with difficult and necessary music. Her work surprises and gratifies with its syntactic denseness, its wild associative leaps. King is a poet to watch. —Kristina Marie Darling$16.00 -
QuickviewOpera House Arterial by Anne-Adele Wight
PoetryAnne-Adele Wight's new masterpiece Opera House Arterial is a fierce testimony of the power that one archetype alone can create––the Opera House. Part trickster, part behemoth, part lover, part spy, part friendly cadaver––like "sparrow bones in a cup." Or "a mug of phosphorus."––Debrah Morkun$16.00 -
