Rattlesnake Allegory

Joe Jimenez

Rattlesnake Allegory

These poems are about “the moment inside the body / when joy is not born as much as it is made out of anything / the rest of the world doesn’t want.”  Using land and South Texas’s flora and fauna as references, these poems explore aloneness and manhood as articulations of want, asking the reader to “take a moan by the hand, see what good it does.” Thematically, these poems address loss after transformative experiences,...

After Rubén

Francisco Aragon

After Rubén

After Rubén unfolds as a decades-long journey in poems and prose, braiding the personal, the political & the historical, interspersing along the way English-language versions & riffs of a Spanish-language master: Rubén Darío. Whether it’s biting portraits of public figures, or nuanced sketches of his father, Francisco Aragón has assembled his most expansive collection to date, evoking his native San Francisco, but also...

Run Away to the Yard

Lisa C. Krueger

Run Away to the Yard

Run Away to the Yard is a unique collection of poems that addresses personal identity within the contemporary culture. In parable-like vignettes and metaphor-dense portraits, Krueger’s poems challenge old notions of self, asking readers to reconsider what brings meaning to daily life. Through the lens of close observation—much like a photographer—Krueger examines the complexity of our responses to a convoluted world. Poems ask us to consider who we are when our lives become stripped of the...

Beasts Behave in Foreign Land

Ruth Irupe Sanabria

Beasts Behave in Foreign Land

Winner of the Letras Latinas/Red Hen Poetry Prize Ruth Irupé Sanabria’s second collection of poetry, Beasts Behave In Foreign Land examines the internal landscape of a family confronting the psychological and emotional aftershocks of genocide and exile. Drawing on her personal experience during Argentina’s military dictatorship (1976 to 1983), these poems emerge from the defining moment in which she had the opportunity to testify in the trials against the Fifth Army Corps in Bahia Blanca,...

Wild Honey, Tough Salt

Kim Stafford

Wild Honey, Tough Salt

Wild Honey, Tough Salt offers a prismatic view of Earth citizenship, where we must now be ambidextrous. The book takes a stern look inward calling for sturdy character and supple spirit, and a bold look outward seeking ways to engage grief trouble. The book begins with poems that witness a buoyant life in a difficult world: wandering New Orleans in a trance, savoring the life of artist Tove Jansson, reading the fine print on the Mexican peso and the Scottish five-pound note. Clues to...

Wayward

Katharine Coles

Wayward

Since her early poems, Katharine Coles has been known as a poet who isn’t afraid to tackle big subjects that occupy the intersections of art and science, including how we know what is true (if we do). Driven by her insatiable curiosity and relying on a use of form and elision so deft it amounts to sleight-of-hand, Coles brings these big questions into small spaces in her seventh book, Wayward , moving the reader at mind-speed through brief meditations on love, marriage, and family;...

In June the Labyrinth

Cynthia Hogue

In June the Labyrinth

In her stunning ninth collection of poetry, In June the Labyrinth , Cynthia Hogue tells a deeply personal lyric of love and loss through a mythic story. This book-length serial poem follows Elle, a dying woman, as she travels a trans-historical, trans-geographical terrain on a quest to investigate the labyrinth not only as myth and symbol, but something akin to the “labyrinth of the broken heart.” At the heart of Elle’s individual story is the earnest female pilgrim’s journey, full of...

Bright Stain

Francesca Bell

Bright Stain

Unapologetically sensual and forthright, Bell explores desire, loss, faith, doubt, tenderness, and violence; and sex as experience, metaphor, and magnifying lens for relationships. Bright Stain may or may not become the Sex and the City of poetry, but this knock-your-socks-off debut will likely inspire debate—perhaps controversy―as it inhabits some startling points of view, including those of pedophile priests, serial killers, and prison inmates. Those who miss reading these...

The Weight of Light

Gary Lemons

The Weight of Light

Gary Lemons’s The Weight of Light breaks down the wall between poet and reader and invites us to meditate with him on all things beautiful and ugly, in a way that makes us proud to be a part of the world. Lemons explores human and nonhuman relationships, dissecting them just enough to give us a glimpse before sealing them back up and tucking them into the pages. He shows us the painful, the heartbreaking, the fearful—but pairs them with the magnificent and the joyful in such a...

Vanishing Point

William Rutherford Hayes Trowbridge

Vanishing Point

Vanishing Point concerns memory, cognition, history, and morality, as experienced through the process of aging and as seen largely through a seriocomic lens. The range is wide, from arrestingly dark to downright hilarious—sometimes both at once—and all stages in-between. The poet Jim Daniels has said about this book, “With profound wit and humility, with a purity and clarity of language that defines our best poetry, [Trowbridge] takes us on a wild ride and gives us our money’s worth.” The last...

Steam Laundry

Nicole Stellon O'Donnell

Steam Laundry

Based on the true story of Sarah Ellen Gibson, the sixth woman to arrive in Fairbanks, Alaska, in the gold rush of 1903, this novel in poems incorporates a wide variety of style—persona, narrative, and lyric poems, as well as historical photographs and documents—to tell Gibson’s story. Through these poems, the reader is offered the chance to try on the dusty, mining-town overcoat of Gibson’s life.

Letters Written and Not Sent

William Louis-Dreyfus

Letters Written and Not Sent

Letters Written and Not Sent is the lifetime work of poet William Louis-Dreyfus, written over decades, culminating a passion for poetry, art and social justice.  He passed away just days after the book was completed.  Like paperweights, his lyrics are both small and hefty.  His subjects range from race relations to trees, from secrets to parenthood, from ideas of god to kissing, from sons and mothers to fate, and of course, to poetry itself.  Never afraid of...

The Diviners

Robert McDowell

Dante in China

John Barr

Dante in China

In John Barr's poems, the ancient masters encounter the modern world. Dante on a beach in China beholds the Inferno: “Flaring well gas night and day, / towers rise as if to say, / Pollution can be beautiful.” Bach’s final fugue informs all of nature. Villon is admonished by an aging courtesan. Aristotle finds “Demagogues are the insects of politics. / Like water beetles they stay afloat / on surface tension, they taxi on iridescence.” And his afterlife: “When three-headed Cerberus greeted...

Another Phase

Eloise Klein Healy

Another Phase

In April 2013, just five months after being named the first Poet Laureate of Los Angeles, Eloise had a brain injury resulting in Wernicke’s aphasia—a breakdown in the symbol system of language. Poetry was the guide and motivation for recovery. This collection is comprised of a series of five-line poems that began as a focusing exercise yet transformed into a remarkable channel for her creativity. These poems are filled with the same features that have pervaded her work, meaning they are serious,...

Other Signs

Ingrid de Kok

Other Signs

Ingrid de Kok is one of South Africa’s leading contemporary poets in English. This book, Other Signs, her fifth volume, brings her lyric gift to a new level of quiet intensity as she looks backwards and forwards across the self’s endeavour to name the world, to touch it and to draw from it the meanings of experience. Compassionate, poignant, exact and playful, each poem is aware of all the others in the collection and together they constitute the depth of a remarkable reflective mind.

Onversadig

T.T. Cloete

Onversadig

Onsigbaar verken opnuut verskeie hooftemas van Cloete se oeuvre, onder meer ’n verwondering oor die natuur, en ’n soeke na sintese tussen wetenskap, religieuse impulse en die grense van taal. Hy verwoord op tegnies vernuftige wyse die onvermoë van die mens om die misterie van die skepping en sy eie bestaan te deurgrond. Hy slaag daarin om iets van die wonder vas te vang, sonder om die enigma te reduseer tot ’n eenduidige slotsom of “betekenis”. En dit doen hy in gestroopte, helder taal. Daar is...

Visums by verstek

Hierdie keur uit die digter se reisverse lewer bewys van haar verstommend ruim verwysingswêreld en plaas die fokus op die mens as reisiger, uit eie wil én teen wil en dank. Die bundel doen verslag oor reisindrukke, maar die bestemming is telkens die ruimte vir emosionele en rasionele verwerking van menslike ervaring (reiswaarneming, dus, wat dikwels teruglei na die sélf).

The Flowers of Evil / Les Fleurs du Mal (English and French Edition)

Upon its original publication in 1857 Charles Baudelaire's «Les Fleurs du Mal» or «The Flowers of Evil» was embroiled in controversy. Within a month of its publication the French authorities brought an action against the author and the book's publisher claiming that the work was an insult to public decency. Eventually the French courts would acknowledge the literary merit of Baudelaire's work but ordered that six poems in particular should be banned from subsequent publication....
