QuickviewARTIFICIAL LIFE by Michael Gessner
Poetry$16.00“Artificial Life is brilliantly wrought and blindingly brilliant. Gessner is second to none. Count him, along with Ashbery and Ammons, among the most stunning intellectual poets of the twentieth century—and into the twenty-first.” —John Dolis

QuickviewAs They Say by Robert Manery
New Releases, PoetryThese poems invent a poetic diction, mixing heady with quaint in Land-of-Cockaigne stylistic abundance. Words current, rare, archaic, and obsolete are found in As They Say syntactically pasted together in humorous tonal blends of near and far. —Louis Cabri$18.00 -
QuickviewAstrometry Orgonon by Mark Lamoureux
PoetryThe map of the heavens has long been the place where humanity has immortalized those narratives that are instructive to its understanding of the universe. The named celestial bodies represent a repository of information from diverse cultures, both ancient and modern. Each poem in this volume bears the name of the brightest named star of every visible constellation from both hemispheres.$16.00 -
Quickviewasymptotic lover//thermodynamic vents by Julia Hastain aka j/j hastain
PoetryThis book, which is unlike anything that has ever been seen before, brings something with it from the under-parts of sensation. This is the definition of vibration, of a book as the only possible membrane, the only future for a body so new it's still forming: j/j hastain gives us this. —Bhanu Kapil$16.00 -
QuickviewAt the Fair by Tom Clark
PoetryRemembering his first glimmers of vocation as a boy in power-charged mid-century Chicago, Tom Clark has given us some of the most beautiful American Poems that I know. At the Fair is the work of a living master. —Aram Saroyan$16.00 -
Quickviewatboalgfpopasasbifl: Irritations, Excrement & Wipes by Jared Schickling
PoetryJared Schickling’s latest collection—comprised of hybrid genre prose, footnotes, erasures, and struck-through lines of verse—engages compelling questions about the relationship between literary criticism and artistic practice: Is it possible for creative and critical discourses to coexist within the same rhetorical space? Can the literary arts facilitate unique—and even revolutionary—contributions to theoretical conversations? To what extent is every poem an act of deconstruction, a revision of the writing that came before one’s own? —Kristina Marie Darling$16.00 -
QuickviewAtom Parlor by Joseph Bienvenu
Poetry$16.00Exuberant as a blizzard, individual as a snowflake, Joseph Bienvenu gives us this book with the generosity of yahoo and wail. In Atom Parlor's hooting forest is a beating heart, crying out for connection, vulnerable, human, demonstrative of an extraordinary associational speed, the imagination always in triumph, in celebration as well as sorrow, dire and slapstick, and, dare I say, fun. —Dean Young -
QuickviewAurora by Jared Schickling
Mobilis in MobiliThis book is part of our moblis in mobli series, a free ebook with a printed books that is for sale from us as well as Amazon.com.$15.00 -
QuickviewAutobiography of a Stutterer by Joseph Cooper
PoetryJoseph S. Cooper writes where the body does not exactly say yes but where it wants something else. By this I mean the bodies he is making are profoundly wild: propelled by phonetic imperatives and breaks in the deep structure that could be described as aberrant, but which I prefer to think of as delicious. -Bhanu Kapil$16.00 -
QuickviewAutomatic Zygote by Jonathan Huey
Poetry“Jonathan Huey has a terrific eye for detail. The tender mercies of urban wildlife, the sweeping implications of history – and he does not miss that trash in the creek or those cops in the alley –amid it all the rangy, slightly bemused song of the poet.” Andrew Schelling$16.00 -
QuickviewA’S VISUALITY by Anne Gorrick
PoetryThis is the work of a highly-engaged intelligence, and Gorrick has made her own system by moving through the world with the given that this, too, is poetry. Here, it is color— not darkness— that surrounds us. What a beautiful place she has made. —Carolyn Guinzio$16.00 -
QuickviewBabies by Emily Toder
New Releases, PoetryA wonderfully thoughtful book written with the poignancy and wispy light touch of Lewis Carroll and Roz Chast. Emily Toder is very funny, but her paradoxes are deceptively simple and, if we let ourselves laugh, it’s because we don’t want to know that without babies there is no meaning on Planet Earth. —André Aciman$18.00 -
QuickviewBachelor Holiday by William Huhn
New Releases, PoetryWilliam Huhn’s Bachelor Holiday is a bittersweet, multi-dimensional recollection—of past loves, historical mysteries, moments of weather, of philosophical obsession—whose subject range and command of language dazzles. —Rachel Abramowitz$20.00 -
QuickviewBack Pages, Selected Poems by A.L. Nielsen
New Releases, Poetry'Artful, musical, and deceptively gentle, these poems reveal an uncompromising moral purpose. A. L. Nielsen is indeed a “stepping razor,” honed, witty and dangerous all at once. Pay attention.' —Beth Joselow$22.00 -
QuickviewBack Principles: a book of spiritual fatigue by Stephen Bett
PoetryLike all Stephen Bett’s recent books, his 22nd, Back Principles: a book of spiritual fatigue, is a serial poem, “minimalist” in its poetics, and subtle enough to sustain repeated readings. The title is self-explanatory: poems journeying between poles, searching out the buddha and the christ. There are no (cheap) instant gratification I found its here. There never could be of course; it’s all journey, all the time.$16.00 -

QuickviewBiennial: Poems by Michael Joyce
Poetry, Superstarsthese poems split the seconds of daily life into splinters that, with time, catch the light —Charles Bernstein$16.00 -
QuickviewBig Bad Asterisk* by Carlo Matos
PoetryBig Bad Asterisk* is a sequence of prose poems that entangles the reader in a narrative of human oddity and originality. Welcome to the family where the father uses a machete on the hedges, the great uncle is lost hunting trolls, the only way to talk to the grandfather is through the grandmother and the baby’s spoon is a bone. —Susan Yount$16.00 -
QuickviewBig Bright Sun by Nate Pritts
PoetryHis poems quietly say disquieting things, carefully, patiently, for the love of poetry. —Dara Wier$16.00 -
QuickviewBIG ENERGY POETS: ECOPOETRY THINKS CLIMATE CHANGE
Poetry, SuperstarsBig Energy Poets: Ecopoetry Thinks Climate Change, is more than another book on climate change, these disparate authors are collectively voices in the same struggle: How to ensure the planet’s survival, where planet and body (human or otherwise) are not separate but synonymous, are inextricably tied. There is a necessary insistence in this anthology on the body politic being the earth’s politic.$18.00 -
QuickviewBirds Of Tifft by Jonathan Skinner
PoetryAt once rigorous and casual, conceptual and hilarious, Birds of Tifft offers us a tour through a nature preserve reclaimed from industry. Sometimes our guide reads Tifft like an old-school naturalist, identifying flora and fauna and noting the weather; sometimes he reads it like a contemporary poet, delighting in the visual beauties and ethical ironies of a post-industrial landscape. Ultimately, however, our guide demonstrates that ecopoetics gains its power from inhabiting both positions at once. By neither idealizing nature nor demonizing industry, he shows us our own equal participation in both, and thereby animates a dialectic between “the bittern and the train/the tulip and the dump.” —Brian Teare$16.00 -
QuickviewBlack and Yellow Notebooks by Stephen Ratcliffe
New Releases, Poetry, SuperstarsThe wonderful momentum of Ratcliffe’s clipped language echoes the staccato footsteps of his week-long hikes. It’s walking art in the tradition of Richard Long and Hamish Fulton, yet kept in motion through a constantly shifting, ever-piercing attention that keeps the reader acutely present to the changing light, the passing crows, and the meteors streaking through the August night sky. To enter this book is to go uncommonly outside. -- Cole Swensen$18.00 -
QuickviewBlack Lines on Terracotta by Terry Van Vliet
PoetryIn a voice daring and decorous, Terry Van Vliet celebrates Apollonian beauty and erotic desire. He uses poets and painters who have long fascinated him as guides for exploring these states. Other poems are more autobiographical. Family, friends, and the vivid characters that abound in Los Angeles, London, or Paris become his subjects. —Katharine A. Daly$16.00
