QuickviewThe Arctic Circle by Kristina Marie Darling
PoetryThe symmetrical aspects of this narrative make for a pristine evocation of crisis and overcoming. Kristina Darling’s fable resists disintegration, challenging instead a forceful awareness. The dynamics here do not permit abjection to pulverize presence. —Brenda Iijima$16.00 -
QuickviewThe Best Word for the Job of Mourning by Jessica Baron
PoetryJessica Baron realizes mourning’s best words refuse their own elegiac nature. In her long sequence death is present not as a shadowy realm from which the loved one will be recalled by the poet’s words; in this poetry death is a place of honest witness.—Dan Beachy-Quick,$16.00 -
QuickviewThe Bird Hoverer By Aaron Belz
PoetryJust what American poetry needs: lots of fresh poems that are weirdly conventional one minute, satisfyingly strange the next. On the surface this violent assault on complacency is playfully serious, but deep down, you notice that the surfaces of these gentle poems glint and catch the light as they turn over and over, patiently waiting for your attention. —John Tranter$16.00 -
QuickviewThe Blooming Void by Peter C. Fernbach
PoetryIn The Blooming Void he enacts this. From a “sea of maroon”; from the “sludge” of a polluted world; from the genesis of a “Fruit Fly in Pile of Dirty Laundry”: from these and more emerges “a contrivance of mind” that may result in “A[n] [imperfect] human attempt/At control and understanding,” but, [imperfect] or not, what else have we? —Dr. David Landrey$16.00 -
QuickviewThe Breath by Cindy Savett
New Releases, PoetryCindy Savett’s The Breath accesses and occupies the territory, real and true, where the living can dwell with the dead. The speaker’s beloved daughter lives on, in spirit and lyric, as she “steps into the stable of vanished gods.” Savett’s skillful elegies hold the daughter’s hand and reader’s attention across the threshold. — Jason Labbe, author of Spleen Elegy$16.00 -

QuickviewThe Camel’s Pedestal, Poems 2009–2017 by Anne Tardos
Poetry, SuperstarsFree-ranging, intelligent, a poetry of wit and survival—to be “crazy not to go crazy” and not going crazy and making art in the face of that: “finally taking a stand” . . . “there is no shortage of things to do on the path to a better life” and “letting things be,” “tip-toeing around the good and the terrible”—Maurice Scully$16.00 -
QuickviewThe Color Symphonies by Wade Stevenson
PoetryThis is a visionary work. It’s a torrent, a whirlwind, a symphony of colors. It’s a blazing apocalypse of rainbows, a dazzling setting sun of the material world. Surely it was written in some god-inspired, intoxicated state reflected through the rational mind of a star-struck color scientist. —Aloysius Werner$18.00 -
QuickviewThe Demotion of Pluto by Deborah Meadows
Drama, PoetryIn Deborah Meadows’ The Demotion of Pluto runs of poetry bleed into plays. The title play recasts Sophocles’ Philoctetes; Obstacle Plays riffs on Michael Fried’s Art and Objecthood that considers minimalist sculpture as both theatrical and an obstacle; and Nothing to Do works intensive differences between brilliant and crumbling minds situated in the aftermath of street struggle.$16.00 -
