QuickviewShowgirls – The Movie in Sestinas by Jeffery Conway
PoetryIt has been far too long since a collection of poems summoned us to a world of performers and voyeurs, catfights and choreography, lip gloss and lap dances. In fact, this has never been done before, and Jeffery Conway’s Showgirls: The Movie in Sestinas digs deeper than any collection in recent memory. —Mary Biddinger$16.00 -
QuickviewSHRINKRAP, Litany in Quadraphony by André Spears
PoetryAND NOW, AS THEY SAY, FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. André Spears’ Shrinkrap begins with a claim to simple reportage – the who, what, where, and when that define the parameters of classic reporting – but this report will lead you down the proverbial rabbit hole and into an experience of our current condition unlike any you have had before. —Michael Boughn$16.00 -

QuickviewSilent Whistle-Blowers by Goro Takano
PoetryGoro Takano's restless, deadpan, corkscrew imagination conjures prose poems, quatrains and stories that celebrate the life force and, if you believe his unreliable narrator, promote peace. I can't help thinking what this writer's "self-dramatizing practice" aims to unleash are not "silent whistle-blowers" so much as audible mind-blowers. Readers, be warned. —Alan Botsford$16.00 -

QuickviewSisyphus My Love (To Record a Dream in a Bathtub) by Laura Hinton
PoetryOnce there was a time, before this and before that, a time of metaphoric remembrances and repetitions, virtual rehearsals. “The rhythm of film like poetry” becomes the rhythm of poetry like film “to remain inside and outside at once.” Funny outrageous dark dreams are real, wherein a smaller point size of type determines infinitives. “Sisyphus died and came back that week,” back to the beaches of the Riviera, the old “New City,” where the radical “I” was an Orpheus who did not turn around but instead rhymes “bleak” and “chic.” —Norma Cole$25.00 -
QuickviewSix Verse Plays: Or, Some Poems For Performance, by John Matthias
Drama, Poetry, SuperstarsThe poetry, essays, and fiction of John Matthias are widely known. Less known are the plays and performance texts that he has been writing and adapting from his longer poems in the course of the last several years. This book contains six of these texts, only one of which has been performed. However, the success of staged versions of “Automystifstical Plaice” suggests that performances of the other texts would be equally exciting. Both by the reader and the hypothetical producer of these plays, this book will be warmly welcomed.$16.00 -

QuickviewSlab Phases by Matt Turner
New Releases, PoetryThese are worlds that float as microscopic filaments alive as micro-engravings kinetic with migrational telepathy as they glisten with their own dictation. An endemic domain not unlike primordial grammar that dictates protracted simplicity. — Will Alexander$18.00 -
