What happens to the story when the world of the story is under attack? As trees are felled and pollinators disappear, Paige Menton painstakingly erases narrative, opening up spaces of possibility to find that "the beauty remains." We can no longer speak the world that was, instead, in lines that inhabit the full emptiness of the page, Menton uncovers what stories may still be possible. A beautiful and haunting book that reveals the subtle ways...

It may or may not be true that we live each event twice, once as tragedy and once again as farce, but it's certainly true in literature, and in Ann Tracy's stunningly and aptly titled Winter Hunger the Windigo motif, such a force of horror and of spiritual dismay in it's previously studied versions, is used by the author for subversive and often hilarious purposes." Margaret Atwood on Winter Hunger

Stephen-Paul Martin's TwentyTwenty reminds us that in his finest moments, he's the king of writing degree zero, the American Albert Camus, if Camus had a sense of humor. "He stares at the seemingly random combination of numbers and letters, then shrugs and clicks. There's a flash on his screen, a clip of someone jerking off in a bedroom. Clark thinks it might be a picture of himself right before the phone rang, but the image is gone before he ...

Becker's poems struggle for the acceptance of aloneness, and the shunning of anything that hinders transcendence. She finds assurance in the story of the water spider-how something so small could bring the sacred light to the world after others had failed. Her work achieves autonomy through illness. "When one inherits trauma, / it is in the blood. In the bones.

In these radiant destabilizations of language, Dan Kaplan's 2.4.18 sizzles within the lineage of extraction books like Annie Dillard's Mornings Like This, Mary Ruefle's A Little White Shadow, and Srikanth Reddy's Voyager.

A dazzling array of starshot across the sky from the brilliant Cris Mazza, who reminds us again and again that we must not only hold the line when it comes to our individual and community worth, but endlessly imagine a future.

With a deft command of comic distance and abiding compassion for her characters, Lynn Levin in House Parties, her debut collection of short fiction, presents us with a broad range of characters who ardently, foolishly, and often with weird invention, relentlessly spar with their fates. Three friends hike through Yosemite in search of an awe-inspiring waterfall that may or may not exist...a girl on a high-school science trip finds herself aba...

intimations of personal devastation, and eruptions of sacred memory, compose the cadence of the day, of any day in the world of these poems, its skies wavering with whatever's coming next.

A product of poetic bundling is meaning, and making your own meaning... For the fortunate ones, bundling can make a diagram of influence, a love line between writers that is more than a glossary of poetic affinities. Pound launched the ship of Modernism on gushes about customs of love and a trickle of redactions from Remy de Gourmont and Cavalcanti.

Kelly's wry, sardonic humor, his sharp insights into America, and his keen, unflinching honesty force us to face our common humanity and our failings. Arguably... Dave Kelly is America's Greatest Living Poet.

A mad, clanking, elegant, touching romp through a lifetime of associations, reflections, deliberations, and excavations. Serge Gavronsky delivers up a kaleidoscopic camera obscura objectivist inwreathing ply-over-ply minor epic here.
