As with John Haines, Alaska's poet of the wild, or Gary Snyder, Alex Leavens is a poet of deep ecology. His posthumous collection, Horsethief Meadows, brings poems of reverence, wisdom and precision in observation of the natural world, as with these lines: "...the mountain lion had the same tint as the moon ...." With felt grief as wildfires burn out of control, Leavens observes that "flames climb into treetops to ferry substances, no longer b...

Lean Toward the Light is a summing up of a person who is physically old but young in mind and heart. The easy answers of youth are handed back to whatever takes them and the huge sense of wonder walks in to replace it. There is also the realization that other animals have been misunderstood and underestimated. No one died and left us in charge. Godbey's work has been praised by both well-known poets and Facebook readers. Robert Bly and US Po...

The Scar It Leaves explores the small things: moments and memories from the past, and how they shape who we are. Innocuous reflections are the starting point for a line traced from the innocence of childhood to the dark side of adulthood and become part of a question - is this where it started?

The lyrical, often elegiac poems in Arrivals & Departures, written over many years and set in locales in both America and abroad, explore the phenomena of arriving and departing physically, metaphysically and spiritually. From the coasts of Maine and California, to the Himalaya of Nepal, to the war-ravaged lands of Afghanistan and Iraq and the lives of military personnel involved in conflicts there, Moss's poems probe the sometimes bittersweet...

The poems of Äiti explore the anxieties of childhood, the connection between mother and daughter, and the wellspring of grief that follows a tragic death. Finnish lakes and Pennsylvania rivers flow through these poems, which live in the present, in memory, and in the imagined past. By examining the space after loss, Äiti shows how longing changes us and how we are inextricably entwined with the ones we love.

Never Née Fey is the book any woman seeking the first bent tree limb indicating the hidden path to independence is looking for. This is a savage poetry collection that makes absolutely zero room for even the most microscopic apology for outsized feminine power and total, curled-nose rejection of everything the world says women should want and stand down to. Common impositions like motherhood and men are openly mocked. All the familiar excuses ...

The poems speak to the impact of trauma - loss, injury and becoming a caretaker - with a determined voice. As this snapshot of life unravels on the page, the poems urgently grasp onto bits of strength and joy anywhere they can be found. Preserving the Unraveled poses essential questions in any journey towards healing: Where can we find strength? How do we regain our footing? What is worth preserving? The book is a courageous quest for hope.

Realizing that fire consumes everything, Don't Be Another Girl aims t...

In beautiful, thoughtful, and sensitive lyrics, UPSTREAM offers an enthusiastic encounter with a winter journey paddling up the Mississippi River. This sequence of meditations follows in the tradition of Basho's Eastern travelogues-as a contemplation of self, history, and our contemporary environment. UPSTREAM gives form to the belief that life, itself, is a relationship with the Earth. Guided by Native Nation cosmologies, this collection ca...

Aphorisms... Minimalisms... Trauseisms... More fun with Andy Taylor Mead, writer, actor, performer, poet, and one of Andy Warhol's Superstars Brief as the lives on display, these utterly charming pieces resonate with eroticism, sentiment, devilish humor and unexpected editorial comment... fitting testament to one of the key moving image projects of the 20th Century. Ron Magliozzi, Associate Curator, Department of Film, Museum of Modern Art, N...

The poems of Internet Girls concern themselves with electronic as well as physical loss and inevitability, they try to contain that slippage, to box up all that which is evanescent and disappearing. Their speaker is exhausted if not exhaustive and possibly also electronic herself, a queer female narrator staring down the untraversable span between intimacy and distance: "I keep thinking how I wish I were a poet to describe / certain things I c...

¿In Artificial Sweetness, Carter utilizes free verse, haiku, list poems, and experimental forms to create a short collection of poems that examine lust, love, and heartbreak from a queer perspective.

In this incredible chapbook, Meg Files' poems sing us goodbye. As humans take their leave from this planet by ordinary death, the animals remain. Meg Files' unpretentious Beasts will not miss us but perhaps they'll note us as beautifully as she has noted them. In these straightforward, penetrating poems, we can take some solid satisfaction knowing the beasts keep the humans alive and significant a little longer.-Nicole Walker, author of Proces...

My Photo Album is about family, neighbors, friends, colleagues, significant others, and those who walk past by or maybe acquaintances, casually met, or strangers, but their stories are relatable. Our world seems torn by conflict, fear, loss, disparity, sickness, and confusion, and it is some consolation to know that one is not alone on the road. Being born is not a choice, but living is. Love and compassion rooted in courage and persistence ma...
