QuickviewAnimated Landscape by Robert Gibbons
PoetryRobert Gibbons’s new collection of poems lays bare the vast expanse of human history as a widening landscape of the most august imagination. Gibbons, a born maximalist, carries Charles Olson’s excavations into the present tense, but does so in his own measure of music, personal and specific, yet universal and inclusive. Animated Landscape never forgets history is not a then, but always now, always all around us. —Richard Deming$16.00 -
QuickviewAnon By Chris Pusateri
PoetryAnon records "soft static falling as forecast" and an ostensible caress that materializes as "an unpleasant repetition eroding his arm." Against the bleak banalities of this "experience in syndication," Chris Pusateri strikes back with a bracing admixture of silliness and patient intelligence. —Elizabeth Robinson$16.00 -
QuickviewAnswer by Mark DuCharme
PoetryEnter a shimmering, wavering, vacillating, crinkly reality, the mysterious acrobatic disjointing of what you thought you knew. Enter Mark DuCharme’s Answer, where the self-evident succumbs to the agnostic as a wizardly lyric unpins certainty. Brilliantly unpredictable, these poems divine by assemblage of a familiar quotidian and set us wondering. —Maureen Owen$16.00 -
QuickviewAnte-Animots: Idioms and Tales by Nicholas Alexander Hayes
PoetryThese idioms and tales use language as a tool to lift a hazy film away from our perception and replace it with another. Is it surgery or a theater of cruelty, a catastrophe or a joke? It’s an intervention into both the real and the imaginary—not to show us that one lies beneath the other or hidden inside like a nested doll, but to remind us that animals are composed of wounds and words and that all of us are dying. It isn’t pretty, and it is. It isn’t imaginary, and none of it is real. It’s a vicious and lyrical, lucid and fantastical, vast little book. – Stephen Beachy$16.00 -
QuickviewANTHROPOCENOMA by Chuck Richardson
PoetryA mapping of word and thought metastases to co-here (in now of us all) the crazed pathological death-life energies of our age – Richardson takes the notes inside my own head, at least, and probably taps a collective despair, why everyone can’t rouse out of diseased, disfiguring, disaster consciousness. “Sleep requires optimism. We dream of sleeping.” Planetary accord? No hope, but it is something, this general re-cognition of or against humans’ dominion over earth as a totalizing, cancerous, growth. —Magus Magnus$16.00 -
QuickviewAntibodies in the Alphabet by Linda King
PoetryKing holds us to the mark, offering no easy way out. Perhaps her poems haunt us because they’re not so much about us as our relationship to the words we use to stand in for us. Her critical lyric examines its own modus operandi and although armed with impeccable word choices peppered with wry wit, she often threatens to throw it all away and let danger take the high road. —Charles Borkhuis$16.00 -
QuickviewApollo: A Conceptual Poem by Geoffrey Gatza : Based upon the ballet by Igor Stravinsky
Poetry, SuperstarsAt its heart, this book is about Marcel Duchamp but it is also about chess. It was thought for a long while that Marcel Duchamp gave up art to play professional chess. However, this was found to be not true with the revelation of his last major artwork, Étant donnés.$35.00 -

Quickviewarchipelago counterpoint by Marcia Arrieta
PoetryMarcia Arrieta’s archipelago counterpoint points to language associated with delicate inventiveness—a brand of language providing whispering emblems, musical identities, and clarity of affirmed environment….Precise, reliable appreciation engages the reader and provides context toward a thoughtful devotion to expanding understanding. —Felino A. Soriano$16.00 -
QuickviewArmored Elevator By Ryan Daley
PoetryRyan Daley is a dedicated dodgem of syntax. He is a multi kulti Mayan in Newark whose wit’s as Pan-American as any Jose O’Shay’s. He knows dystopias no longer wash unless in global neo-glot soup spracht. Armored Elevator is one of the best—certainly the edgiest—first books I’ve read in quite awhile. –Michael Gizzi$16.00 -
QuickviewAround the day in 80 worlds By Rachel Blau DuPlessis
Poetry, SuperstarsAround each day, she flies her rounds— tempestuous. DuPlessis revels in travel and records what unravels in one’s habits of attention when all the elsewheres return us to a home we are about to lose. “What is the true story of any time? / any itinerary?/ and of its traveling sorrows?” I encounter so many moments of startling honesty— each poem is a face as pert as day and as wild as night, looking up, from a labyrinth of drafts. —Divya Victor$16.00 -
QuickviewArt Fraud by Jeffrey Schrader
FictionOne could say of Art Fraud that it is typing, not writing. And one would miss the point. Jeffrey Schrader, typist extraordinaire, delves into the all too frequent absurdity that results when art meets commerce. The result is pure slapstick. — Juliana Spahr$16.00
