The Ida Pingala by Debrah Morkun
PoetryDebrah Morkun's words compose dynamic fields. Her efforts push poetry onto the page to energize language by reaching toward its limits. Between the ""janus-lipped morning"" and ""miserable neighborhoods"" a resistance forms according to what can be said and what actually gets said. Morkun confronts opposing forms and possibilities (like the ida and pingala of the title). Here poetry is electrified by the tensions of sound and meaning. ~ Hoa Nguyen$16.00 -

The Impossible Picnic by Mark Tursi
PoetryMark Tursi’s Impossible Picnic sets up camp not on grassy Romantic heights but on the astroturf of our mental backyards and interiors. In its wild juxtapositions and deadpan humor, one hears unsettling echoes emanating from the “vapory camaraderie” of modernism. Here “the world is all this, plus the world,” as the title propels us toward a super-abundance that only initially seems “impossible.” —Elizabeth Willis$16.00 -

The Jointure by Clayton Eshleman
Poetry, Superstars“What does it mean to see with the eyes of the soul?” In The Jointure, Clayton Eshleman offers an answer to this question in language of visionary symbolic consciousness. Intimate and expansive, psychological and anthropological data germinates this fecundating exploration and extrapolation of inner wilderness and the essence of imagination. In The Jointure, “memory is fracture” – the depths of horror enshroud the horror of depths – but imagination is revealed as the “keelson of paradise.” —Stuart Kendall$16.00 -

The Last Place I Lived by K. Alma Peterson
PoetryOne of the early poems in this book concludes: “My wild side would like to know.” If yours would too, read The Last Place I Lived. The collection abounds in wit and verbal play, yet the reward in reading comes from an intelligence lodged deep, directing the lines in sophisticated ways, the “afterimage // glassily repeated in the hawk’s beveled eye.” —Julie Funderburk$16.00 -

The Living Air by Masiela Lusha
PoetryWhen I discovered Masiela Lusha’s impressive list of accomplishments in the cinematic arts, I have to say I was not surprised in the least. Ms. Lusha’s poems skillfully dramatize the most ethereal of philosophical ideas, showing us what’s at stake as we “stalk the truth.” This book will invite you in, then “release you as a learner,” subtly illuminating through its performative poetics what questions we should be asking of the world around us. —Kristina Marie Darling$16.00 -

THE MERCURY POEM by Jared Schickling
PoetryWith THE MERCURY POEM, Jared Schickling brings us an oddly reversible apocalypse—the story of individuals grappling with their own bleak place in history. “A tsunami ruining the beach / during an election season,” “the exclusion zone is breeding,” and as an elegy to television, the poet finds normalcy in the unlivable. —Jonathan Penton$16.00 -
