Person Hour by Thibault Raoult

Thibault Raoult reaches across the orderly table of syntax and conventional content to grab the reader literally by the throat in order to redirect attention to language performing itself as an unresolved constellation of eros, humor, history, and social observation. —Forrest Gander
Thibault Raoult reaches across the orderly table of syntax and conventional content to grab the reader literally by the throat in order to redirect attention to language performing itself as an unresolved constellation of eros, humor, history, and social observation. Raoult’s high-energy BOOM of linguistic pyrotechnics falls onto the page in bursts of rhythmic pulse, parallelisms, and tonal families. The style of his sentences seems to imitate more familiar styles, the way patterns on moth wings might imitate eyes. Here comes Rimbaud reborn, addled, and set on fire for the 21st century.
—Forrest Gander
Derivative of no one, Thibault Raoult forms his own école. With “bluet as form” and “Brulée as content,” his first collection, Person Hour, is both sweet and alive. Language is made new here by combinations that ask us to linger, not leap: “Because spent spits / Jet beds, // Vireo marrow: / The brush & the hush.” Serious play. Fierce pleasure. Person Hour is a meal you have to prepare for.
—Samuel Amadon

Fire For Thought by Reed Bye
Poetry, Superstars
Reed Bye's meditations on meditation open out into lovely Hopkinsesque melodies. There's a clarity here spawned from questions about inside and outside, mind and body, and who we are as humans in our landscapes. —Lisa Jarnot

Notes on a Past Life by David Trinidad
Poetry, Superstars
In Notes on a Past Life, David Trinidad exorcises the ghosts of New York with a compulsively readable, wrenching memoir in verse. His “Goodbye to All That” offers a critique of ambition, an ode to community, and a sip of the poison that poetry is, in the end, the antidote to. —Eula Biss

Hybrid Hierophanies by Clayton Eshleman
Poetry, Superstars
Adrienne Rich has stated: “As a poet and translator, Clayton Eshleman has gone more deeply into his art, its processes and demands, than any modern American poet since Robert Duncan and Muriel Rukeyser.” And Robert Kelly has written: “Nobody is like him in his struggle. At times he makes the wildness of most poetry seem merely effete. I know of no poet who has fed so richly from the thingliness of the world beneath his feet, none who so resists the glamour of beliefs. He is a shaman without a single superstition.”
