QuickviewMeet Me at the Happy Bar by Steve Langan
PoetryI'm consistently jealous of Steve Langan's small-a absurdist accuracy, not to mention his unfailing ability to dredge gorgeous song from the hum of the normal. Meet Me at the Happy Bar is sharp, sad, sassy, and frighteningly alive. —Graham Foust$16.00 -

QuickviewMetamerican by Seth Abramson
Poetry, SuperstarsAmerica has been awaiting the arrival of a poet like this for a generation. —Barn Owl Review$16.00 -
QuickviewMind Over Matter by Gloria Frym
Critical Thinking, SuperstarsHow does the present imprint itself on language, on poetry? Gloria Frym's Mind Over Matter shows us that: the outlines of the endless wars, the credit default swaps. But it also shows poetry resisting this. "No poem/would stand for such a line." Frym writes. "A poem is not a fool." This book makes me want to cheer. —Rae Armantrout$16.00 -
QuickviewMingling Among by Paul Naylor
New Releases, PoetryPaul Naylor’s Mingling Among is a beautifully sustained, thought-provoking, and companionable prose poem in five interrelated sections. Taking the paragraph as his primary unit of composition, scenes are rendered in ever-changing frames of time, scale, and location, in a measured if kaleidoscopic inquiry into the possibility of overcoming our obsession with binary constructions and the domination of nature. —Ted Pearson$18.00 -
QuickviewMiscellaneous Debris by Nicolas Mansito III
PoetrySurfing the emotional sea, this latest collection from Nick Mansito tosses the soul from crest to deep. Brilliant! Exciting! A beautiful look into the roller coaster soul of the poet. A perfect blend of heart and spleen, this is Mansito at his best. If this is ""debris,"" then it's time for poetry lovers everywhere to go dumpster-diving! ~ G. R. Maddison$16.00 -
QuickviewMOCK TROUGH RASPING CROW by Billy Cancel
PoetryReading MOCK TROUGH RASPING CROW I was captivated in much the same way as when I watched billy cancel perform, though the masks & at times flamboyant costumes were missing I was caught up in the language, dark humor, magic & surreal screwball imagery. This is 1 of those rare instances where performance poetry transfer perfectly from page to stage & vice-versa so “don’t let your attention wander” as cancel puts it, MTRC is about “everything at once / or something all the time.” Grab it, crack it open & try, if you dare, to figure it out. —Steve Dalachinsky$16.00 -
QuickviewMolloy the Flip Side by Chris Tysh
PoetryMolloy: The Flip Side transcreates the first half of Beckett's 1951 French novel, narrated by its eponymous anti-hero who is slowly going nowhere. The hobo lyrics of Tysh's book-length poem open up the unendurable abyss of being, yet zing with vernacular and zany humor: ""Gotta check out soon/ Be done with dying,"" Molloy says, but there's a few things he must do first. And so begins the uncanny journey in this poetic B-side of Beckett's masterpiece.$16.00 -
QuickviewMoon Talk by Wade Stevenson
PoetryWilliam Carlos Williams wrote it is always proper to talk about the moon. Rite about the moon: “Moon Talk” by Wade Stevenson, a hypnotic tide rocks within the waves of this book, the power of the tide, forces push and pull throughout “Moon Talk”, the talk that rocks and swaddles the ear with heart. —Michael Basinski$16.00 -
QuickviewMorpheu by Alejandro Crawford
PoetryFrom political change to pocket change, shipments to shipwrecks, quotations to digital code, Alejandro Crawford never met a morphosis he didn't like, and here in these pages neither will you. —Craig Dworkin$18.00 -
QuickviewMorphology by Ruth Lepson & Walter Crump
PoetryIn the first image of Ruth Lepson and Walter Crump’s Morphology, the eye follows train tracks into a distant background of earth-meets-sky, the sky a near circle of light, presenting at the same time an enclosure and an eternity. The first text suggests a linkage of thinking and seeing: if I think it, it appears. This book is magic. I want to read it a thousand times. - Charles Alexander$18.00 -
QuickviewMoth Moon by Matt Jasper
Poetry"The Roman poet Petronius once avowed that, considered rightly, there is shipwreck everywhere. In Moth Moon, Matt Jasper goes farther still, proving time and again that shipwreck is a treasure unto itself, a perfect emerald before and after all mishap. Here, vision is rewarded with new eyes, and I am grateful for the news." —Donald Revell$16.00
