Award-winning poet explores new formal terrain in seven long poems against the violence of the present political moment. "[Warren] has begun writing longer poems, putting her stamp on a running notational mode whose other practitioners include Stephanie Young, Anselm Berrigan, and Jacqueline Waters. I think you can hear the durational projects, the self-conscious day-scores, of Bernadette Mayer and of Lewis Warsh farther back in the tradition."— Brian Blanchfield , pen.org The...

Life in the United States today is shot through with uncertainty: about our jobs, our mortgaged houses, our retirement accounts, our health, our marriages, and the future that awaits our children. For many, our lives, public and private, have come to feel like the discomfort and unease you experience the day or two before you get really sick. Our life is a scratchy throat. John Marsh offers an unlikely remedy for this widespread malaise: the poetry of Walt Whitman. Mired in personal and...

Human Nature explores, both seductively and horrificly, the redemptive possibilities found in an American girlhood gone wrong. Every one of Anderson's poems tells a story—dangerous, sensuous, sometimes crazy, sometimes sacred tales that take us into the heartbreaking reality and strangeness of a little girl who grew up the woman of the house; at once drink-maker, showpiece, secret-keeper, and object of lust. The terrain of incest and violence sets itself out on the page so subtely...

Memories of farming in the 1940s conjure up images of horse-drawn farm machinery, grain stooks in fields, hay meadows, free-range chickens and cords of wood strategically placed for fuelling the kitchen range – all before farming became the highly technical, big-time operation it is now. Author Victor Carl Friesen was born and raised on a quarter section farm in Saskatchewan and still owns the «home place.» It is there he still goes to renew his inner being. His poems, grouped into seasonal...

Sing, Sing, Sing is unlike any recent first collection by an American poet. It goes against the grain of contemporary fashion by replacing prosaic narrative with a lyricism both symbolic and mysterious. This poet can appreciate experience as «the open/End of a bag fill/With ordinary things,» yet also he has an ear for «a watch that goes on ticking/Underground,» the shadow of history that lies across the present. Murphy manifests a sense of responsibility for protecting the spirit of lost people...

When Porter arrives at a specific site – often with the aid of locals who know the terrain – he improvises rituals that involve small cups of American bourbon, incense, and reading poems aloud in Chinese....

Miller has been a mentor to hundreds of poets through her years as a teacher at University of Arizona. The Boston Book Review compares Jane Miller’s “careening, associative” verse to the paintings of Jackson Pollock and Jasper Johns. All are inventive, energetic, and risky. Miller was originally a painter. She sees the processes of painting and writing as much the same, but she found herself unable to paint and write poetry at the same time, so she abandoned painting in favor of writing. W.S....

Only if you sit on them...

“Davis is as good as DeLillo at playing off our internal hunger for meaning against surface senselessness. And Davis catches the surface brilliantly.”—American Book Review Punctuated by subversive humor, verbal theatrics, and moments of strange, luminous beauty, Davis’ clear, unsentimental poems are meditations and mediations on contemporary existence and the unreliability of language, emotions, and the memory to gather it all in. Jon Davis, author of...

“Brenda Shaughnessy’s poems bristle with imperatives: ‘confuse me, spoon-feed me, stop the madness, decide.’ There are more direct orders in her first few pages than in six weeks of boot camp…Only Shaughnessy’s kidding.
