QuickviewVEL by Alan Sondheim
PoetryAlan Sondheim is a force of nature: a Category 5 mindstorm blowing in from all points of the compass at once. Coded and plain-speaking, philosophical and emotional, artistic and banal: to read Sondheim is to fall through a wormhole into a full world. And why shouldn't a work of art be a world’ His art is writing as a performance act even more direct than Allen Ginsberg speaking into his tape recorder. — Jim Rosenberg$16.00 -
QuickviewVersus by Stacia M. Fleegal
PoetryStacia Fleegal just can’t stop creating serious noise in her poems. She’s a writer who isn’t afraid to make words crackle and snap, especially about how social class works in America, starting at the bottom and going up. So, fair to say, you should expect something other than the tame lyric in this collection. —Eloise Klein Heal$16.00 -
QuickviewVertigo Diary by Larry Sawyer
PoetryLarry’s poetry gives me the best kind of vertigo: the kind where you’re afraid of falling, but when you do you fall into a soft, meaty, sensual, smart ravine that shakes you pretty good, but instead of killing you it turns you into a Thinking Cocktail. What a scary and fine artist Mr. Sawyer is! —Andrei Codrescu$16.00 -
QuickviewVexed by Jessica Grim
PoetryGrim's style masterly evokes the simplicities of poetry in the "New American" vein, with its fragments of candid observation just shimmering on the surface of the poem, but she allies it with a "post-Language" sensibility that balks before the prospect of a too-fluid Romanticism, thus spicing sensual reverie with documentary relevance. —Brian Kim Stefans$16.00 -
QuickviewVia Crucis by Peter Siedlecki, art by Catherine Burchfield Parker
New Releases, PoetrySiedlecki’s poetry resonates the surfaces and experiences of Burchfield Parker paintings. The Way of the Cross is understood as spaces of time, moments of loss, forgotten destructive comforts, and nightmare memories. ... This is a tough, beautiful, provoking book of poems. —Geoffrey Gatza$20.00 -
QuickviewVirtual Worlds Virtual People by Kay Porter Winfield
PoetryPoetry and video games don’t often occupy the same space at the same time, but Kay Porter Winfield’s Virtual Worlds Virtual People proves once and for all that they can (and maybe they should). These poems rocket with character-driven action and conflict: electrical shocks, diabolical plots, flashing swords, and cliffhangers galore. —Matt Hart$16.00 -
QuickviewVOLUME ONE (Selected Anonymous Marginalia) by Liam Agrani
PoetryVOLUME ONE represents a decade of research into found language by the poet/editor Liam Agrani. The work is composed solely of direct transcriptions of marginalia from libraries, used bookstores, and various other places. Removed from the context of the books they came from, these works become intimate abstract accidental poems, occupying the space where private literary "criticism" and found poetry meet.$16.00 -
QuickviewVow by Kristina Marie Darling
PoetryIn Kristina Marie Darling’s Vow, both text and subtext paint the fraught institution of marriage, particularly the subjectivities of the bride’s several selves. Written in candle, tale, and glass, the book “reveals, harbors, conceals” in an exciting new collection. —Carmen Gimenez Smith$16.00 -
QuickviewWalking Dreams, Selected Early Tales by Mark Wallace
FictionMark Wallace writes like an avant-garde poet who knows how to tell a good story. Or like a fiction writer who knows how to fill his prose with cutting edge poetry. —Stephen-Paul Martin$16.00 -

QuickviewWaste by Emily Toder
PoetryThrough these honest, prismatic poems, Emily Toder explores what is cast off, what is extra, and what we deem unsalvageable. This book reveals that our garbage can be a lesson in our humanity and, sometimes, that lessons in our humanity are garbage. Either way, both ways, I love this revelatory book. —Sommer Browning$16.00
