Poetry. Winner of the 2014 Kelsey Street Press FIRSTS! Contest. "Jennifer Pilch's DEUS EX MACHINA pulls the ache from a fractured century, stitching the bloom past artifice into an urgent, prismatic form unlike any we have seen. Each voice 'risks/transforms night' into 'a blossom that punctures that blots.' A book like this, assembled from music and ruin and light, is rare and necessary."--Joshua Poteat "In DEUS EX MACHINA, Jennifer Pilch cras...

Poetry. "Thalia Kitrilakis's people are the land, her land the people. Not as fantasy or romance. We are reminded that even as life changes it remains very much the same, life is both possibility and limits. Our senses are awakened to the scent of the tiny thyme as well as the sea. We feel the mothers who milk the goats and watch the moon. We hear the women who know the danger of the wind as well as the measure of rose petal sweets"--Barbara C...

Poetry. Translated by Norma Cole. NUDE is a hilarious set of adventures, a retelling in a striking array of contemporary lyric forms of the story of Susannah and the elders. A zany send-up, these poems are a set of adventures, family outings, romps and trysts in hotel rooms on the Riviera. In this brilliant translation, Portugal's poems are at their most whimsical and heterogeneous. "You really know painting/ the true distance/ stepping back/ ...

Poetry. Winner of the Francis Jaffer Book Award, a first book prize honoring the memory of Bay Area poet, editor, and feminist Francis Jaffer. This year's prize was chosen by Barbara Guest, who has the following to say about CUSP: "Music, a story 'circular and multiplying' each portion of the poem 'according to its own great score' and 'light now raging' over each page. Cusp is a poem of exceptional sensibility and ardor." San Francisco reside...

Fiction. "THE WOMAN WITHOUT EXPERIENCES is an intimate composition, unsettling in its artfulness, quietude, probing. We perceive a solitary figure surrounded, as it were, contained 'inside the field of her own creation, ' holding each word up to the light as an egg. Intersecting the lines between Genet and Weil, she is 'conducting the daylight through the layers.' She prepares an opening. It is a lovely door" - C.D. Wright.

Poetry. "It's not possible to be more phenomenologically direct than the poetry on these pages. This is removal of the obstacles of perception, beginning with perception, often by means of the obstacles themselves. This is what the sky is. All other skies in this one. There is a host of impossibilities to be found in AERODROME ORION & STARRY MESSENGER. Susan Gevirtz's page is both an inclusion of a scale too vast for inclusion and a selection ...

Poetry. Fiction. Gay, Lesbian, and Transgender Studies. In NEWCOMER CAN'T SWIM, Renee Gladman invites us to accompany her protagonists on their treks into, through and across variegated, mysterious soulspaces and dreamscapes, troubling the surfaces and boundaries of story and genre. Her figures touch down, chapter by chapter, onto beaches, city streets, and unmarked territories, in which echoes, shadows, and parallel presences delineate border...

Poetry. Lartino/Latina Studies. El?na Rivera's UNKNOWNE LAND is a brilliant, mature, deeply engaging work, whose Question is constructed through its unfolding shape -- a developing exhalation of grief and wasted opportunity, both classical in its references and recasting of historic quest/myth, as well as expansively modern in its resistance to these known parameters. Rivera's writing is contemplative and thickly quiet, then bell-clear with li...

Poetry. AN ATLAS OF LOST CAUSES pulls the reader into a rich, internal world where perception is doubled and "stars are just dead light--falling behind schedule." As her poetic noir unfolds, quotidian detail accumulates as evidence of human scenarios bleeding into the infinite: "You know how sometimes, at night in a city, you may hear someone crying out in distress? The stains were that sound and shape, spilled in a darkness that smashes into ...

Poetry. The newest book of poetry from one of Berkeley's finest writers. The delicacy of these poems replicates the quality of their insights -- insights too shattering and celestial to be uttered any other way. These are swift, verdidical, winged images of the side beside the other side -- Fanny Howe.

Poetry. LGBT Studies. Art. These experimental poems seduce us with their verbal architectures as the book transports the reader visually and graphically across the globe, through time to the present, from Perugia to Egypt to Manhattan, where historical details mesh with real time haptic experiences of cathedral architecture, Egyptian monuments, and urban corridors that ignite the "wow" effect of the poet's New York City childhood. "This passio...

Traces the public and private "you" in relationship to the self as herald, prophecy, future-teller beckoned by the lyrical pastoral set against the longing for urbanscapes, truth."--

Poetry. Susan Gevirtz cuts the box away from the camera as she disassembles other structures that keep the world, as we picture it, in place. For Gevirtz, the cultural is personal, and the personal is constructed as the cultural media--films, TV, newstories, book narratives--are shaped. These poems, gathered from pieces of her deconstructions, are held together by puns, homonyms, metaphors, and blank space. The empty expanses convey a sense of...

Poetry. Asian American Studies. THE VERTICAL INTERROGATION OF STRANGERS blends the narratives of the travelog and the coming of age novel. It is written by a young Indian woman whose travels take her between homes in two countries, India and England, and through parts of the United States. These short pieces reveal new ways of belonging in the world and possibilities for an art grounded in a localized cosmopolitan culture.
