QuickviewThis Visit by Susan Lewis
PoetryIn the fissures and gaps of a malleable lexicon, Susan Lewis’s playful, punning, musical lyrics create spaces for a reader to explore. In her “mythic stickiness” edges are blurred in service to an “everlasting loop.” Her poems are oddly intimate, full of a wise skepticism and a quirky grace — perhaps more of a place to live in than to visit. —Joanna Fuhrman$16.00 -
QuickviewThose Godawful Streets of Man by Stephen Bett
PoetryThis is an edgy, raw, harsh, gritty book about the contemporary cityscape—its block buildings; its loose, naked, spitting live wires; its plugged-in populace. A place where Borderliners, leeches, zombies, and drains fight it out over a man and a woman locked in a death grip.$16.00 -
QuickviewThree Plays by Deborah Meadows
Drama“Wry and observant, Deborah Meadows' ambivalent oracles and philosopher-clowns seek "a nourishing shape that one could live in without tiring of its perimeter", but find just as readily an anthroposcenic welter, marked by false flags and the untidy promise of myriad revolutions – each adjacent, reluctant, and imperfectly contained.” —Andrew Maxwell$16.00 -
QuickviewThree Suite by Christophe Casamassima
Poetry$16.00In Christophe Casamassima’s Three Suite, recombination and erasure make visible the edges of an intelligently empathetic poetics of rediscovery. These poems are indebted to their found texts, but are always looking forward to the new line that is made possible only by way of procedural mapping. Casamassima skillfully weaves together a landscape in which the poem becomes total texture ... —Julia Bloch

QuickviewThrough a Certain Forest by Laura Madeline Wiseman
PoetryWe are given a field guide to trees in Laura Madeline Wiseman’s latest book of poetry Through a Certain Forest, realizing as we step in that we are deep in the mythos of ourselves. Each poem is a persona, each tree species recounting its survival from humans. Us homo sapiens are the trolls lurking through the middle of the collection. In the midst of bombings and ecological disasters caused by us is the private life of the speaker, too, living with her own personal troll. —Dennis Etzel, Jr$16.00 -
QuickviewTO BE SUNG by Michael Kelleher
Poetry$16.00"Michael Kelleher's deft poems have often a wry poignance and sing the old songs with fresh particulars. So it's as ever where we are that counts, and that's where these poems are, always." —Robert Creeley -
Quickviewto go without blinking by Aimee Herman
PoetryAimee Herman is a cyborg. Not in the sense of a mixture but: in her impetus. Her desire for a book to be a new kind of thinking and being in the world. As she writes in the startling Statement of Poetics that opens this passionate collection: ""This body of text practices trilingualism and contraction. Theories include gender confiscation and syntax dissection."" I liked that. A syntax that records what happens to a body even more than the words themselves. And that's just page one. Throw away ""the color pink,"" writes Herman, deeper in. —Bhanu Kapil$16.00 -
QuickviewTo Hush All The Dead by William Allegrezza
New Releases, PoetryA poet bountifully rooted in geography, Allegrezza transcends the usual sense of place. In To Hush All The Dead, he reveals that every one of us faces “The Natural Trail Marked,” simultaneously experiencing a lack of understanding and hard self-questioning, as a sense of direction seems “thrown to bits and folded in blue.” —Sheila E. Murphy$18.00 -
QuickviewTo The Eaves By Lisa Forrest
PoetryThese poems unfurl in the reader's palm in bird song and flight: the natural world has never been more sensuous or sung. Yet human nature, thwarted love is her true topic. Lisa Forrest's To The Eaves , takes us to the heights with grace and sweet song. —Brenda Coultas$16.00 -
QuickviewTo The River by Diana Adams
FictionDiana S. Adams’ To The River, is a delicious novella – the first of a trilogy – that is both resolutely gritty and often magical.

Adams is a spare, clear-eyed and fearless writer who wades into the lives of her characters and reveals just enough to give them perfect breath. A mere glimpse of a character in an Adams’ novella is full meal – with wine, dessert and an espresso.
