QuickviewPOEMS: now and then by Edric Mesmer
PoetryThese poems fall all too neatly into two sections, the eponymous “now” and “then.” I feel the “now” poems, all from the early months of 2020, share a returning-to with the “then” poems, some of which were written as long as 20 years ago. That they have come together so squarely—so circularly—(at least to me), speaks to a sympathy between then and now. I hope that the reader will also find this to be true. — Edric Mesmer, May 2020$16.00 -
QuickviewPoetic Architecture by Kent Johnson
Superstars...In other words, and at the risk of sounding extreme, I strongly encourage readers to ignore this ridiculous piece of attention-seeking dilettantish drivel. Now, let's get on with the real work. —Kenneth Goldsmith$16.00 -

QuickviewPolaroids of Turbulence by Henry Sussman
New Releases, PoetryPolaroids of Turbulence is a chronicle of culture trouble, a verse report of the unfathomable depths of our times: “barbarism’s eternal return.” Sussman’s sharp observations and linguistic play mark a “jagged trajectory” through “the outerbanks of / introspection.” —Nancy Kuhl$22.00 -

QuickviewPrior by James Berger
PoetryThere is an ever-present intensity to James Berger’s Prior through which the reader plummets. Full of complex and particular insight, by turns darkly comic and comically dark, these poems are as unafraid of regret and anger as they are of quick surprise and happiness. — Richard Deming$16.00 -

PoetryIn the land of All Language, replete with spoken gold, Debrah Morkun spins poems, then weaves this Projection Machine. This original or pre-.

QuickviewProvince of Numb Errs by Jared Schickling
PoetryJared Schickling’s Province of Numb Errs is a quirky, sincere and often funny homage to the long arms of his Catholic upbringing. Less dour than Stephen Daedalus and the other cohorts of Joyce’s imagination, the narrators in these poems gleefully yoke together Biblical clichés and homespun homilies, xenophobic injunctions and commonsense imperatives, and, per rhetoric, the highfalutin’ and colloquial. —Tyrone Williams$16.00 -
QuickviewPuddles of An Open by Paige Melin
PoetryThrough her provocative syntactic ruptures and stream-of-consciousess narrative style, Melin subtly and gracefully interrogates the boundaries between interior and exterior, subject and object, self and world. Puddles of an Open is a stunning debut, as innovative in its technique as it is in its philosophical assertions. —Kristina Marie Darling$10.00 -
QuickviewQuinn’s Passage by Kazim Ali
Fiction, Superstars"The will to be transformed away from the senses via the senses is a sensualist's mission. It is Quinn's desire, as it is the desire of the gods. The reader will see that such a desire infuses language with a passion for breathing and utterance equally." —Fanny Howe$16.00 -
QuickviewRain Check Poems by Aaron Simon
PoetryAaron Simon's lines feel like strokes of a pre-CBS Jazzmaster. Not plastic. More like rosewood with at least a Gibson tuneOmatic bridge. A brrruummm alliteration where each word-note contains the artful play of improv and composition colliding. Aaron Simon is a good band whose record is killing it on the deck these days. —Thurston Moore$16.00
