Literary Nonfiction. This is an inspiring book about writing and--more unusually--a book that honors ambition, that idiosyncratic drive that compels writers and other artists to action despite every kind of obstacle. Upton explores forces that threaten our ability to fulfill the most daring aspirations, and she examines ambition's adjuncts, including failure, boredom, and purity, offering a provocative antidote: obsession. Ultimately Upton arg...

Both a cyber-thriller and a simmering romance, MY IMMACULATE ASSASSIN raises disturbing and timely questions about the technology and morality of "idealistic" murder.

The Tupelo Press 30/30 Project, begun as a creative approach to fundraising, has burgeoned into a community. Each month, volunteer poets run the equivalent of a "poetry marathon, " writing 30 poems in 30 days, rough drafts that are posted daily online, the poets sponsored and encouraged every step of the way. This anthology comprises the best of those drafts, now revised, from the 30/30 Project's first year.

As gradual as a cloud passing or a blossom opening, this is the story of a woman very slowly dying, accompanied by her husband and an astonishing number of offspring, from infants to young adults. David Huddle's nineteenth book explores how children grieve, and shows how the wit and courage of even the littlest brothers and sisters can be a source of resilience. Familial conversation composes an intimate requiem, transforming loss into compreh...

Natasha Sajé's new book Bend divulges the spirit of a sensualist and the habits of a contemplative, sometimes vice versa. Colors are separated with the veracity of paint. Shifts in temperature are registered and background noises distinguished, not only for texture's sake but for their essential contribution to the poems' substance. . . . For company Sajé summons a curious assortment of lettered forbears including Cotton Mather, Henry Vaughan,...

Poetry. Fascinated by what emerges from unlikely sources when absorbed into memory, Gale Marie Thompson's poems delight in what remains: John Wayne, Bewitched, turnip fields, camellias and canned figs, and--of course--kitchens. SOLDIER ON uses the light of the kitchen as a starting (and ending) point to explore remembered spaces, which take on new facets and textures in a flood of associations and the mind's endless cross-indexing. Inside a wo...

Poetry. Honorable Mention, Berkshire Prize for First or Second Book, chosen by the Tupelo Press Editors. Each poem in THE INFANT SCHOLAR is an homage to those born brilliant and vulnerable, those who carry around with them a great comprehension at odds with their age. These poems are built upon facts and observations unearthed while panning the world for gold: diamonds sewn into the Romanov corsets that deflected bullets, or a lift-off in some...

Poetry. Stitching a seam. Sweeping a floor. First light after working the all- night shift. These are small moments in everyday jobs, but surprisingly luminous. In his tenth book, Michael Chitwood describes hard, often dangerous labor, but renders also the quietude of housekeeping and office routines. We call this "making a living, " the way we move through our days, to pay for the roof over our heads. Raking autumn leaves or drilling a dynami...

Poetry. Winner of The Berkshire Prize, Tupelo Press's First / Second Book Award, chosen by Dan Beachy-Quick. Kristina Jipson's HALVE peels away the layers of orderly narrative with which we try and tame the chaos of mourning. At once frank and elusive, Jipson's poems resist the pull of storytelling and personal confiding, instead using formal variation to embody emotion and memory. These poems lay bare the experience of losing a brother and ev...

Poetry. Award-winning poet Jennifer Militello's third full-length collection, A CAMOUFLAGE OF SPECIMENS AND GARMENTS, casts a smokescreen of selves. Fragmentary letters addressing illness and struggle are interspersed with ventriloquisms in the voices of mythological heroes and long-dead composers, ancient goddesses and murdered girls. Intricate "dictionaries" offer multi- layered definitions that, like layers of clothing or ancient amulets, a...

Gorgeous poetry of avid appetites, winner of the 2016 Sunken Garden Poetry Award.

Yes Thorn abides with mysteries-mortality, sexuality, divinity, and love. In poems acoustically sumptuous and with acrobatic syntax, Amy Munson fuses elegant lyricism with tougher, sterner qualities. YES THORN brings a new voice to American poetry, and its revelations are both earthy and exalting.
