the first conversation the sun had with the moon

This is a collection of poems that follow me back to my younger days. These poems reveal some of the darkest moments of my life, in addition to the most overwhelmingly happy ones. They're based on observations, both fictional and factual. They embrace the intersections of life and death. They reflect nature and its preposterous hold on my soul. These poems have emanated from notebooks, napkins, text messages with my brother, the imaginations of my kids, my romance with my loving wife, and...

The Final Voicemails

Max Ritvo

The Final Voicemails

“Even present tense has some of the grace of past tense, / what with all the present tense left to go.” From Max Ritvo—selected and edited by Louise Glück—comes a final collection of poems fully inscribed with the daring of his acrobatic mind and the force of his unrelenting spirit. Diagnosed with terminal cancer at sixteen, Ritvo spent the next decade of his life writing with frenetic energy, culminating in the publication of Four Reincarnations. As...

Ovid

The Fasti, Tristia, Pontiac Epistles, and Ibis (Prose)

"The Fasti", a work structured on the Roman calendar, is believed to have been left incomplete when Ovid was exiled to Tomis by the emperor Augustus in 8 A.D. It is a series of elegiac couplets which present the first-hand accounts of vates, or «poet-prophets» with Roman deities regarding the origin of various Roman holidays and associated customs. The first six months of the year are all that is included in the work and it is unclear whether this was the intention of Ovid, whether the work...

Considered to be one of the most difficult poems in the history of the English language, “The Faerie Queen” by Edmund Spenser is a marvelous epic poem depicting the virtues of the legendary King Arthur and his knights in a mythical place called Faerieland.

The Fact of the Matter

Sally Keith

The Fact of the Matter

Moving from the mundane to the profound, first through observation of fact and matter, then shifting perspective, engaging a deeper sense of self, these poems re-imagine things great and small, making us care deeply about the world around us. In this cultivated and intricately crafted collection, Sally Keith shows the self as a crucible of forcethat which compels us to exert ourselves upon the world, and meanwhile renders us vulnerable to it. Force by which a line unfurlsas...

The Evil We All Feel

Chase Wasilenko

The Evil We All Feel

"The Evil We All Feel" is more than just poetry, it is more than just journal writings. It is more than just a book. It is a cry for help. A plea, a prayer, a message. It might not be for you. As it is searching for truth. It is filled with words of hope, wisdom and love but equally filled with words of despair, anguish and frustration. It is contradictory as it is a reflection of our everyday society, vague with imagery and straightforward with quotes. Right to the point, this self-help...

The Edge of the Continent: The City

Jacqueline Suskin

The Edge of the Continent: The City

This book is about California. Specifically, this second volume is about Southern California, the heavily populated part of the state, the sprawling metropolis, and the thirsty land that supports so many people. Jacqueline Suskin moved to Los Angeles in 2013 and still calls the city home. This book explores her transition into city life after leaving the majesty of Northern California forests and the fulfillment of communal off-the-grid living. In this collection, we move through the struggle of...

The East Side of it All

Joseph Dandurand

The East Side of it All

Dandurand’s work tackles complicated personal and social issues by drawing on his observations of the natural world. His voice is lyrical yet intimate, obscured yet sitting with you at the kitchen table having a cigarette. The East Side of It All is the journey of a broken man gifted with stories and poems who finally accepts his gift and shares with the world his hidden misery and joy: there was this woman that I fell in love with but she will never know who I am and I hide in the back of...

The Eagle’s Mile

James Dickey

The Eagle’s Mile

A book of new poems by a major writer is an event. A book of new poems that marks a different, more powerful approach is cause for celebration. «What I looked for here,» James Dickey tells us about The Eagle's Mile, «was a flicker of light &#8216;from another direction,' and when I caught it –; or thought I did –; I followed where it went, for better or worse.» In this new work, Dickey edges away from the narrative-based poems of his...

The Dream of Reason

Jenny George

The Dream of Reason

Jenny George’s debut showcases an astonishing poetic talent, a new voice that is intensely focused, patient, and empathic. The Dream of Reason explores the paradoxical relationships between humans and the animals we imagine, keep, fear, and consume. Titled after Goya’s grotesque bestiary, George’s own dreamscape is populated by purring moths, bats that crawl like goblins, and livestock—especially pigs, whose spirit and slaughter inform a central series of portraits. The poems invite moments of...

The Dream in the Next Body

Gabeba Baderoon

The Dream in the Next Body

Gabeba Baderoon’s debut poetry collection attempts to probe the realm of the unsaid and the ripples that move between words, between people, between bodies. Sometimes the verses trace and explore details that have brought the poet to, in her own words, «arrested instants of loss or witness that break open the surface of the world». It is a collection of poems that brings one to be silent, to be still. By writing the author attempts to «see again». Like «when we are about to fall asleep … and the...
