QuickviewBLAME FAULT MOUNTAIN by Spencer Selby
PoetryThese texts exude a para-oulipean vibe of disinterested construction, yet possess an almost cinematic drive wherein plot twist and paranoia dance together wearing the tragicomic masks of ancient theater, but the masks are screens upon which dance the latency and explication of semiotics as romance. —Lanny Quarles$16.00 -
QuickviewBliss Inc. by Ron Burch
FictionIn a city that is a dream, or a frontier, or a dystopia, Nel Lowry is our pilgrim whose progress is a search for Bliss, which is a company and the promise of a lifetime position in a place that might have appeared in Kafka's Amerika. —Toby Olson$18.00 -
QuickviewBlood Will Tell by Craig Paulenich

QuickviewBoombox Serenade by Joey Nicoletti
PoetryIn the title poem, the speaker lists the songs to be played at his funeral and the friends to whom they’re dedicated; the resulting poem, and the collection as a whole, is a catalog of love and human connection, a “playlist of gratitude.” —Juliana Gray$16.00 -
QuickviewBrains Scream at Night by Paul Sutton

QuickviewBrushes With by Kristina Marie Darling
PoetrySome facts: there is ""white residue"" on a windowsill. In a novel on the brink of being written, someone walks out the door then reappears on the edge of a lake. To ""recollect."" To ""glide."" To ""wake up."" In a work that is reminiscent of Jenny Boully's The Body -- a blankness accompanied by footnotes -- Darling's Brushes with performs a narrative of sexual betrayal and peculiar [excruciating] loss with a delicate and pressing hand. —Bhanu Kapil$16.00 -
QuickviewByron in Baghdad by Mike Smith
PoetryHow is it Shelley truly did believe that Byron's Don Juan would be the great poem of its time? How is it that satire and pastiche become the most durable monuments to our romance? to our romance of ourselves and of our aspirations? With Byron in Baghdad, Mike Smith has, against all the odds and against all the currents of our present depravity, written a work of beautiful renunciation. Chaste and chastening, these poems are pure. Their urgency will only increase over time. —Donald Revell$16.00 -

FictionWhat would happen if words, disguised as characters Balboa Pettibone and She-singer, could hallucinate and time travel? mIEKAL aND, one of our most intrepid verbal explorers, takes us into the world of genre fiction and sets it spinning into an “irreality” as iridescent as myth clothed in neon language. —Maria Damon$16.00 -
QuickviewCALL THE CATASTROPHISTS by Krystal Languell
PoetryWhat then is a catastrophist? In the cosmography of this incredible first volume, she is a mobile force that screams: There is plenty to say, say it, say it! In the case where it is the critical reality of the daily life of a person, a thinking person, a person with a sex that is not one, with a class not a cache, who bumps against reality being easily bruised, and doing it again, and saying so. Krystal Languell reinscribes poetry to its rightful spot where we begin, and keep beginning, inside our catastrophe, where it lives. —Rachel Levitsky$16.00 -
Quickviewcamera obscura by erica lewis
Poetryerica lewis’s camera obscura is a stunning meditation on the relationship between things in the world and our perception of them. Beginning with a photograph “that made me think about how time and the constant mutability of everything is . . . the underlying story of all the stories we write,” her words show us – indeed literally see – how “the object exists outside us without our taking part in it”; how “to bring the picture into focus”; how “an image sparks another image” ... —Stephen Ratcliffe$16.00 -

Poetry, Superstars[Clark] really flows and gambles and plays it loose. I like his guts... He's the raw gnawing end of the moon. — Charles Bukowski$16.00 -
