QuickviewA Thousand Words and Others by George Tysh
PoetryGeorge Tysh's two-part take on presence and absence is rooted in jazz and painting, French and Mandarin, memory and longing, in a recto-verso approach to structure. Its first bareboned section, "A Thousand Words," is 100 pages, ten words per page, set in columns that give a nod to classical stanza form. Part Two, "and Others," a coda of sparse lyrics, fills out the tone of what is barely implied in Part One. In a mixture of vernacular and stark poetics, he produces a book-length series that experimental novelist Lynn Crawford calls, "Lush. Rhythmic. Disturbing. Gorgeous."$16.00 -
Quickviewa womb-shaped wormhole by j/j hastain
Poetryj/j hastain is a seer. Writing from the liminal space between the ethereal and the corporeal, filled with bestiaries of the soul and spine-broken books, hastain has composed ""an activist-narrative of place"", where the body is but ""a fretted tangle"" to be worried apart, and then knotted again. Stitched in the language of sinew and fiber, a womb-shaped wormhole is transcendent, stretching past our mere genders, our temporal selves. —Benjamin Winkler$16.00 -
QuickviewAd Hoc by Hayden Bergman
New Releases, Poetry$18.00Spectacular poems from a strong new voice—Bergman’s language is energetic and surprising, beautiful and seductive; his poems are both funny and not funny, regional and universal; his voice is so strong, his thought the same, that I’ll be going back to this book to enjoy its company again and again—and I'll be passing copies of this smart, engrossing book on to others. —Renée Ashley

QuickviewAfter Language / Letters to Jack Spicer by Steven Vincent
PoetryThe test of a true poem, Stephen Vincent writes, is how not to die for it. How can a book that chills you to the bone — As Jack Spicer’s Language surely does — become a structuring, challenging, politicizing and even comforting recurring presence through forty years of a life lived under its spell? With a hard-won, contrarian patience, Vincent applies the test, and the hope he finds at the end is all the more convincing for the precarious-ness of the path it takes through the silent gap between No and One listens to poetry. —Peter Manson$16.00 -
QuickviewAgainst Misanthropy: A Life In Poetry (2015-1998) by Eileen Tabios
PoetryAGAINST MISANTHROPY presents her life as a self-educated poet—from, as a newbie poet, reading through all of the poetry books of her local Barnes and Noble as she scratched her head over what poetry is supposed to be … to more recently creating a poetry generator capable of making poems without additional authorial intervention. Along her journey, she also released about 30 poetry collections, two fiction books and four prose collections with the help of publishers in eight countries.$16.00 -
QuickviewAlburnum of the Green and Living Tree by Lara Candland
PoetryLara Candland is the artist of a living word. Alone among us, she seems best to know the inward texture of a basket and the hastening green of April branches. Hers is an intimate universal, and in Alburnum of the Green and Living Tree this intimacy becomes the vivid pretext of many truths. —Donald Revell$16.00 -
QuickviewAlice Ages and Ages by Sarah White
PoetrySarah White’s variations inspired by Lewis Carroll’s Alice Through the Looking Glass manage to be at once serio-comic meditations on vanity and aging and joyful celebrations of language and the human imagination. —Stephen O’Connor$16.00 -

Quickviewall the jawing jackdaw by Nava Fader
PoetryWritten as wovens by Nava Fader the elementals, magic, earth, air, fire and water are here collaborators in constellation with the elements of Adrienne Rich and Rimbaud. Her pure lines are a strong heart's beat and each instant in the writing is a cocktail of the sensual and the spell, that realm where poetry embraces this place as the poem in nuptials. I am so embraced and I enter the estate of love. —Michael Basinski$16.00 -

QuickviewAn Anatomy Of The Night by Clayton Eshleman
Poetry, SuperstarsAn Anatomy Of The Night by Clayton Eshleman is a magnificent new work by one of America’s foremost poets. In thirty-one parts written between December 2010 and February 2011, Eshleman’s long poem creates a choral effect that masterfully evokes fragments of candid observation shimmering in rhythmic intensity. In bold simplicities, illustrative sensibilities and lyrical integrity this work is imaginative, intimate and beautifully controlled. Hauntingly, these poems rip open the space of the long form poem and create something new and brilliant.$16.00
