QuickviewSung: Ink in love & lust by Mick Raubenheimer
New Releases, PoetryRaubenheimer’s voice is a unique one – a solitary one – one that is rarely heard in South Africa, or even rarely heard this side of consciousness. Some of these poems are like snapshots – short-lined, frequently employing eye-popping wordplay, but always with precision and economy of measure. They can be light-hearted and humourous, yet still cast a pebble into the depths of profundity or even blackness, fear, dark rituals – ‘the violence of magic’. —Gary Cummiskey$18.00 -
QuickviewSure Thing by Robin Brox
PoetryLike the images in this thoughtful debut, Brox's poems chart our attraction to surfaces, textures, and weathers with a calm hand intent on recording the ""tenderest ambivalences"" of our desires and senses. —Jennifer Moxley$16.00 -
QuickviewSurface Tension by David Peak
PoetryAmputation of person, amputation of limb, amputation of smaller and smaller shapes of cells. Into his sentences David Peak fits deleted frames from wonderful films we saw once half-asleep, that time asleep on the sofa in that room we would have paid more attention to if we'd known we weren't going to be back there these years later. — Blake Butler$16.00 -
QuickviewSuspended Imagination by Florine Melnyk
Poetry"Suspended Imagination is a wild read. Risky, provocative, cheerfully over-the-edge, at their best these poems are filled with music, humor, and imagination. Always alert for new ways to give form to the wild and strange, Florine Melnyk offers two of the most high-spirited sestinas you'll ever come across and throws in a fine nonce-sestina that engages the reader in a sort of mad treasure hunt for fun and meaning." — Theodore Deppe$16.00 -

QuickviewTest Camp by Randy Prunty

In these poems, Wade Stevenson realistically surrounds the departed love with his private raw emotions and with the most wonderful metaphors, fantastic in fact, and with them the poet in his craft knits his hurt into poetry. — Michael Basinski$16.00
