QuickviewWaste by Emily Toder
PoetryThrough these honest, prismatic poems, Emily Toder explores what is cast off, what is extra, and what we deem unsalvageable. This book reveals that our garbage can be a lesson in our humanity and, sometimes, that lessons in our humanity are garbage. Either way, both ways, I love this revelatory book. —Sommer Browning$16.00 -
QuickviewWave Particle Duality by Dana Curtis
PoetryIn Wave Particle Duality, Dana Curtis takes us into her nocturnal sphere, the film noir where fission splits the soul, and dark energy is all we have to go on. These are poems full of twisted desire and visionary clarity, pure need and thin hope. Throughout her language is as sharp as a pinprick. She cites Hogarth, which is apt, because Dana Curtis is a moralist, with gallows humor and a sense of the perverse. "Will you be my infidel," she asks? Oh, yes, we think. Just keep on talking. —David Lazar$16.00 -

QuickviewWindow On The City by Michael Ruby
Poetry“Unreal City,” intones Mr. Eliot in his “The Waste Land,” bracketed by “One must be so careful these days” and “Under the brown fog of a winter dawn…. ” Ruby writes “velocity,” athwart “toodle to tabasco” and “orange sunshine.” What’s cold and taut in Eliot—strained—is hot and loose in Window on the City. —Sam Truitt$16.00 -
Quickviewwithin sky by Marcia Arrieta

QuickviewWomen and Ghosts by Kristina Marie Darling
PoetryWomen and Ghosts is a book for the brokenhearted: "Iced over with sadness," its speaker says (or doesn't), "I can no longer speak." In ghost text stricken from the record, she also says (or doesn't): "I wonder how someone else's life can seem so much my own." She means Desdemona's. Ophelia's. Juliet's. Cleopatra's. Lavinia's. But when I read these words, I think: not theirs, hers — I wonder how her life can seem so much my own. I love this book. I honor it. I cherish it. I lose myself in its tragedies, in the absences and silences of women's lives and I feel less desperate, less anxious, less alone. —Molly Gaudry$16.00 -
QuickviewXo – A Tale For The New Atlantis by André Spears
PoetryWhen I first read Xo: A Tale for the New Atlantis, it just blew my socks off—Homer's cadence and epic sweep, hallucinatory Phil Dickian channelings, hysterically funny post-Pynchonesque deconstructions of American materialism ... —J.P. Harpignies$16.00 -
