QuickviewSubmissions by Jared Schickling
PoetryCutting ruthless swathes into the dense thickets of history and culture, Jared Schickling's submissions is the linguistic detritus of his singular explorations. Hard to classify, impossible to pin down, this poem demands attentive reading and re-reading. Its unforgiving energy and relentless tension make it seem as if Herman Melville and Susan Howe got together and, during an awkward pause in the conversation, conjured Jared Schickling from a dark corner of the room. —Daniel Bouchard$16.00 -
QuickviewSuch Conjunctions: Robert Duncan, Jess, and Alberto de Lacerda
Critical Thinking, SuperstarsAfter meeting in November 1969 at the International Festival of Poetry in Austin, Texas, the Portuguese poet Alberto de Lacerda (1928-2007) developed a trans-Atlantic friendship with the San Francisco poet Robert Duncan (1919-1988) and his partner, the artist Jess (1923-2004). This book celebrates that friendship by bringing together from the Duncan and de Lacerda archives reproductions and transcriptions of all their extant correspondence in addition to the many inscribed publications, books, magazines, photographs, poems, drawings, and artwork that they shared with each other.$28.00 -
QuickviewSunday Double Suicide by Goro Takano

QuickviewSung: Ink in love & lust by Mick Raubenheimer
New Releases, PoetryRaubenheimer’s voice is a unique one – a solitary one – one that is rarely heard in South Africa, or even rarely heard this side of consciousness. Some of these poems are like snapshots – short-lined, frequently employing eye-popping wordplay, but always with precision and economy of measure. They can be light-hearted and humourous, yet still cast a pebble into the depths of profundity or even blackness, fear, dark rituals – ‘the violence of magic’. —Gary Cummiskey$18.00 -
QuickviewSunsphere by Andrew Farkas
FictionThis brilliantly satirical and playfully experimental collection upends all expectations—Sunsphere is the perfect book for our absurdist times. Each story is a new philosophical labyrinth of delicious, Barthelme-style surprises. Don a pair of ironic (or earnest!) sunglasses, and enjoy this incredible book. —Alissa Nutting$18.00 -
QuickviewSure Thing by Robin Brox
PoetryLike the images in this thoughtful debut, Brox's poems chart our attraction to surfaces, textures, and weathers with a calm hand intent on recording the ""tenderest ambivalences"" of our desires and senses. —Jennifer Moxley$16.00 -
QuickviewSurface Tension by David Peak
PoetryAmputation of person, amputation of limb, amputation of smaller and smaller shapes of cells. Into his sentences David Peak fits deleted frames from wonderful films we saw once half-asleep, that time asleep on the sofa in that room we would have paid more attention to if we'd known we weren't going to be back there these years later. — Blake Butler$16.00 -
QuickviewSuspended Imagination by Florine Melnyk
Poetry"Suspended Imagination is a wild read. Risky, provocative, cheerfully over-the-edge, at their best these poems are filled with music, humor, and imagination. Always alert for new ways to give form to the wild and strange, Florine Melnyk offers two of the most high-spirited sestinas you'll ever come across and throws in a fine nonce-sestina that engages the reader in a sort of mad treasure hunt for fun and meaning." — Theodore Deppe$16.00 -
