Prior by James Berger
PoetryThere is an ever-present intensity to James Berger’s Prior through which the reader plummets. Full of complex and particular insight, by turns darkly comic and comically dark, these poems are as unafraid of regret and anger as they are of quick surprise and happiness. — Richard Deming$16.00 -

Province of Numb Errs by Jared Schickling
PoetryJared Schickling’s Province of Numb Errs is a quirky, sincere and often funny homage to the long arms of his Catholic upbringing. Less dour than Stephen Daedalus and the other cohorts of Joyce’s imagination, the narrators in these poems gleefully yoke together Biblical clichés and homespun homilies, xenophobic injunctions and commonsense imperatives, and, per rhetoric, the highfalutin’ and colloquial. —Tyrone Williams$16.00 -

Rain Check Poems by Aaron Simon
PoetryAaron Simon's lines feel like strokes of a pre-CBS Jazzmaster. Not plastic. More like rosewood with at least a Gibson tuneOmatic bridge. A brrruummm alliteration where each word-note contains the artful play of improv and composition colliding. Aaron Simon is a good band whose record is killing it on the deck these days. —Thurston Moore$16.00 -

Rambo Goes to Idaho by Scott Abels
PoetryIn Rambo Goes to Idaho, Scott Abels has blurred the lines between pop culture and personal struggle, the east and the west, God and Gene Simmons. At once heroic and elegiac, these poems balance on a knife edge not unlike Rambo’s, and what’s most beautiful here is that they sometimes get cut. —Clay Matthews$16.00 -

And all of this he delivers with a master’s sure sense of humor & grief, the badge of a poet at the top of his powers, which I read now with ever-growing delight, & still can’t stop reading. —Jerome Rothenberg$18.00 -

Requited by Kristina Marie Darling
PoetryThe prose poems that open Kristina Marie Darling’s Requited gradually recede, through erasure, into the quieter fragments of the “Epilogue.” The closing section deftly reframes the juxtapositions and silences that come before, making one question whether the collection’s title suggests love or retaliation. —Sandra Lim$16.00 -

Responsibilities of the Obsessed by Goro Takano
PoetryTelephones ring “hollow and blank”; “He has no idea what he’ll become. / All he knows is / that tomorrow will be a sunny day / for everybody else.” Dementia and demolished nuclear plants in an immense desert: the artificial landscapes created by Goro Takano in his second book are chillingly, and humorously, real. —Jane Joritz-Nakagawa$16.00
