u&i is a meditation on the imaginary - what exists and what doesn't, how does something exist when it knows it is imaginary, how is it to be reckoned with. u&i asks what exists when a book is written. u&i is telling a story to the things that...

In The Color of Dusk, Robin Caton bridges traditions of secular, religious, modernist, and post modernist writing to encounter word at its most unsettling, provocative, and urgent. At times conversational, elliptic, meditative, minimalist, expansive,...

Ann Lauterbach, the highly esteemed poet who selected Paul Legault's manuscript for the Omnidawn Poetry Prize, explains that in these poems, "History is here, in uneasy tangents; landscape is here, lonely in its names; luminous images are here but...

Karla Kelsey's A Conjoined Book hinges together two texts-Aftermath and Become Tree, Become Bird-to create a meditation on the nature of aboutness. Aftermath unfolds after an unnamed ecological/emotional fracture, creating a landscape of rift where the...

The poems of The Barons span 10 years of struggle with the spirit of Romance in the face of world-historical catastrophe: 9/11, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the Great Recession. Once again we find ourselves in a waste land stained by spectacle,...

"Parades forges a new language (think Rimbaud's colored vowels pushed even further and then back into a futurity where antiquity and the almost here collide). Parades has its characters, locales, things, machines, and methods, all turning into one...

Our Animal hybridizes novel flaking into poetic forms like a gnat swarm, magnetic filings, or migratory flux. It's a fierce inquiry into Othering, tracking Kafka's life through his deep identification with animals, especially those hunted or outcast...

These poems sense music as a generative force, always gone other ways than culture and commerce need and declare it to travel. Half the book (Zora Neale Hurston) obliquely teases out the practice of "fieldwork" as the study of "getting...

The Field traces the I across a constellation of lyric psychodramas, where the voice navigates the daily traumas of embodiment and the force majeure of the out-of-body experience. At its center, this first collection from Robert Andrew Perez is a...

The Plot Genie--in its momentum, imagistic vitality, and cinematic and often improvisational arc--resembles the movement of a film more than of a poetry collection. Rich in scene, spanning and recombining a wellspring of story--both visual and literary,...

Shields call out to the violence from which they also protect us, a paradox that belongs as well to the images etched upon them. In these poems seven shields each suffer a process, one of wounding, and of healing the wound back to song. Shards are what...

Laodicea speaks English sympathetically at the edge of sense, where this world reveals another latent; and this world remains ordinary, just like we like it. In a time when we are told, amazingly, the universe is math, what does this mean for our...

This is a book about deciding not to die - about the obstinacy of being. And it's a book of craft, in which steadiness of presence generates the illumination that flickers through states darkened by steady crisis. The world is blurred, not broken. And a...

Attempts to reach the moon, metaphorically and otherwise, are an ancient element of human imagination. With intrusions from mathematics and science, these poems are elegiac celebrations of various ambitions that miss the mark, but matter anyway. The...
