QuickviewOther Maidens by Toti O’Brien
PoetryIn Other Maidens, Toti O’Brien masterfully choreographs shifting perceptions of self and the other in a soulful dance with reality. These intuitive, courageous poems explore the elusive and illusive core of grief and wonder, fear and joy, estrangement and intimacy. —William O’Dal$16.00 -
QuickviewOtherwise Known as Home by Tim Wood
PoetryThe poems shimmering in this volume represent an intense and vertiginous new beginning of the sonnet, erupting from the site of "end words." Tim Wood's re-embarkations are thrilling. I hesitate to impose metaphors on a work of art that stands on its own terms, but something related to time travel might turn attention in the right direction. —Lyn Hejinian$16.00 -
QuickviewOvertures by Ted Pearson
New Releases, PoetryThe standard acrostic submitted to pre-preparation's careful, reticent, insistently epigraphic procedures; the cenobitic playhouse accompaniment in blue sphere’s black expanse; the constant opening of open and uncountable dialog in analog: ladies and gentlemen and all the swung and transient surround, it's nobody but Ted Pearson! – Fred Moten$18.00 -
QuickviewOvid’s Creek by Sam Magavern, Art by Monica Angle
New Releases, Poetry$22.00In Ovid's Creek Sam Magavern, in paying tribute to the Roman poet Ovid, works out his own ars poetica, one that values plainness over ornament, playfulness over solemnity, and liveliness over propriety and elevation. ... The result is a book of peculiar freshness. —Carl Dennis, Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Practical Gods.

QuickviewOxidane by Nicole Matos
PoetryOxidane has the reach of taut flash fiction fiction and the punch of expertly crafted poetry. It is a truly hybrid animal you’ll think about running from—but you'll find yourself running towards it. —J. Bradley$16.00 -
QuickviewParables For The Pouring Rain by Paul Sutton
Poetry"The ship might be sinking but Paul Sutton has tied himself to the mast and his poems chart the descent as the whole caboodle wallows down. Sutton’s work is a sovereign antidote to the pointless mush of establishment-approved literature." — Rod Madocks$16.00 -
QuickviewParataxis by Matt Hill
Poetry"... swaying between Baudelairean modalities of social spleen and lyric fervor, perceptions fresh and exacting; each piece demands utopia, and measures reality by its absence." —Andrew Joron$16.00 -
QuickviewParis Views by Michael Joyce
PoetryAnyone who loves Paris will find that literarily-overdetermined city brought to new life---new and not particularly literary, for through Joyce’s sharp, quick, and cleverly amorous eye, Paris is evoked not as objet d’art, but as sloppily, raucously, lived; as an idiosyncratic confluence of specific instances that shed deep light on the way that individual perception and experience sculpt public space. — Cole Swensen$16.00 -
Quickviewperimeter homespun by Marcia Arrieta
PoetryMarcia Arrieta's perimeter homespun is part meditation, part equation. Both spare and delightfully baroque at the same time, the collection deftly explores the tensions between art and nature, the created world and the occurring one. —Kristy Bowen$16.00 -
QuickviewPermission to Relax by Sheila E. Murphy
New Releases, PoetryThese intricately constructed structures have an air of lightness about them, though mixed into that lightness is the existential angst of the quotidian rung with rhythmic grace and disjunctive virtuosity. —Daniel Borzutsky$18.00 -
QuickviewPerson Hour by Thibault Raoult
Poetry$16.00Thibault Raoult reaches across the orderly table of syntax and conventional content to grab the reader literally by the throat in order to redirect attention to language performing itself as an unresolved constellation of eros, humor, history, and social observation. —Forrest Gander -
QuickviewPERSONAL EFFECTS by Ted Pearson
Poetry, SuperstarsTime travels aphoristically in short hops, seen from long distance, with words as object lessons, in Ted Pearson’s refulgent work. “These annotations mean the world” in the most personal and impersonal sense. But the “eternal present” affords scant comfort, as quatrains slant away or sentences shimmer over the depth of existence. —Alan Bernheimer$16.00
