Vexed 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 -

Virtual 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 -

Waste 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 -

Wave Particle Duality by Dana Curtis
PoetryIn Wave Particle Duality, Dana Curtis takes us into her nocturnal sphere, the film noir where fission splits the soul, and dark energy is all we have to go on. These are poems full of twisted desire and visionary clarity, pure need and thin hope. Throughout her language is as sharp as a pinprick. She cites Hogarth, which is apt, because Dana Curtis is a moralist, with gallows humor and a sense of the perverse. "Will you be my infidel," she asks? Oh, yes, we think. Just keep on talking. —David Lazar$16.00 -
