Crying Shame by Jeffrey Morgan
PoetryMorgan’s gaze is always up-tunnel, if you know what I mean; the power’s in Morgan’s ability to look and look and look. No one—neither rescuer nor castaway, not commuter, not gentle or base reader—walks away whole from Crying Shame. —C. S. Giscombe$16.00 -

CUNTIONARY/ Repent at Your Leisure (or The Folklore of Hell) by Benjamin L. Perez
PoetryFrom its title onward, Ben Perez’s fast, fresh fore(word)play aims to say “what oft was thought but ne’er so [politically uncorrectly] expressed.” This book is bound to ruffle some feathers—not for the faint of heart, denizens of “official verse culture” are hereby advised to enter at your own risk. — Stephen Ratcliffe$16.00 -

Dangerous Things to Please a Girl by Travis Cebula
PoetryA man wanders through Paris. A man wanders through Eliot. Eliot wanders through Paris. Paris wanders through the man. And, not surprisingly, it all comes out as a love letter. Though addressed to a missing person, these poems have no absence about them at all. Instead, built of the fine detail of daily life, they exude a vivid presence that coalesces into a richly nuanced sense of place, of place-as-lived. And it’s a good life. And an utterly delightful book. —Cole Swensen$16.00 -

Day by Kent Johnson
SuperstarsIf the 836-pp. Day established Kenny Goldsmith as without a doubt the leading conceptual poet of his time, the 836-pp. Day by Kent Johnson may well be remembered for nudging the politics of Conceptual Poetry out of blithely affirmative, institutional framings, and into truly negational, critical spaces. —Juliana Spahr$30.00 -

Dead Ringer by Charles Borkhuis
PoetryThere are no illusions in the world of Charles Borkhuis. This is life without eyelids, and what we see is too disquieting for our own good, yet we can't look away. It's like film noir, whose frisson is a bad dream. Borkhuis’ work, though, is the zero hour. —Burt Kimmelman$16.00 -

DEAR BEAST LOVELINESS by Timothy J. Myers
PoetryThese meditations on the blessed carcass move us from bed nest to city street, from cellular self to divine sensation. How do we humans recognize who we are in Vietnam, in Rwanda, on a back porch where rain softly falls? Through the body, says Myers, through the body. —Rebekah Bloyd$16.00 -

Dear Darwish by Morani Kornberg-Weiss
PoetryThe attempt at any kind of dialogue in a world in which people try to protect themselves with silence or/and blasts of self-righteousness is in itself a painful task. With the possibilities of actual communication remote yet imperative, anaphora is a last-ditch tactic. Listen to me and I will be able to understand myself, declares Morani Kornberg-Weiss. —Karen Alkalay-Gut$16.00 -

declivities by Irene Koronas
PoetrySiphoning from a trajectory of experimental literature and poetics from Dadaism to Algorithmics and beyond, the Koronas grammaton is fashioned from a panerotism reconciling the disequilibrium encoded within the hyperlinks of a retromanic pleroma and a feminine clinamen. By excavating the figurations of Rimbaud, Dickinson, de Sade, Bataille and many au courant experimentalists, declivities relegates identity and gender to funerary antiques in a reliquary. —Daniel Y. Harris$16.00 -
