The Pink by Jared Schickling

The Reganites: Vol 1 & Vol 2 by Tim Roberts
PoetryHere is a monstrous demonstration of the bloat conditions of our world. Written to extremes, as if to show how truly, really, impossible the current state of language and culture has become. What can Literature do except stop a door—or trip us up, physically as well as lyrically? Who speaks in this massive text, elegantly crafted on the page in wry, deliberate, imitation of a sacred text, twin-columned? —Johanna Drucker$50.00 -

The Resurrection of Maximillian Pissante (Volume V: The Posthuman Series) by Daniel Y. Harris
New Releases, PoetryDaniel Y. Harris’ Posthuman Series is an intoxicating brew of quasis: scientific, esoteric, bibliographic, geologic, lettristic. Who knows what poetry lurks in the heart of codes? It’s as if we are privy to the history of knowledge from its other side, before as much as after. These poems are an explosion in a pataquerics factory. —Charles Bernstein$18.00 -

The Slip by George Tysh
PoetryHis engagement with the variable foot of William Carlos Williams gives a new spring and all to George Tysh’s remarkable collection The Slip. For much of the book, especially the haunting title poem, an isolated phrase appears, then the next descends, and then another, each open space miming the way breath appears in human speech, as an aid to understanding and an absolute electric charge—at times one of volcanic intensity. —Kevin Killian$16.00 -

The Solace of Islands by Ansie Baird
PoetryThe poet is master of her craft and poetic magic manifests in each poem. The magic is all the music of the poetry. Without question, the theme of this poetry is solemn, but there are sparks of humor and tenderness that light the way through the musical landscape. An island is, of course, an enclosed space, a protected place, for poet Ansie Baird the place of the very human heart. —Michael Basinski$16.00 -

The Sun & The Moon by Kristina Marie Darling
PoetryIn poems lit by an incendiary marriage, Kristina Marie Darling traces a story that begins, as stories often do, “as a small mark on the horizon.” Brave and haunted, these poems burn down to ash and winter, daring to unlock the spell of memory’s silver flashings. The small remains, like distant stars, make a moving portrait. —Mary Ann Samyn$16.00 -

The White Visitation by David Brennan
PoetryNot since the Book of Ecclesiastes has such litany been deployed to smack dab us with a wall of words. In The White Visitation, David Brennan pressure treats language, syntax, grammar, content into a layered labyrinthine quilted fabric of strata. One doesn’t so much as read as one peels, strips, skins the text—a sonic archeology, a narrative dig. Nothing new under the sun? Don’t count on it. The White Visitation is the plasma at the sun’s very core. —Michael Martone$16.00 -

Thief by Katrinka Moore
PoetryIn a series of interlocking text-image meditations and small narratives, Katrinka Moore’s Thief rewrites the literary impulse to claim. This thievery confesses our visitor status upon body, mind, land, and book and asks, “So, you select your shape purposefully? How to explore this obscure site? How does the world assemble?” The journey is gendered: how does a woman write into a literary and family history that was actually never so sure of its claims, its own thievery? – Jill Magi$18.00 -

This Visit by Susan Lewis
PoetryIn the fissures and gaps of a malleable lexicon, Susan Lewis’s playful, punning, musical lyrics create spaces for a reader to explore. In her “mythic stickiness” edges are blurred in service to an “everlasting loop.” Her poems are oddly intimate, full of a wise skepticism and a quirky grace — perhaps more of a place to live in than to visit. —Joanna Fuhrman$16.00
