Lusty, vigorous, zestful. It's hard to imagine our parents in the throes of passion, yet jinx and heavenly calling does just that. DuMar culls original text and graphics from love letters her mother penned to the poet's father during 1953-1954. From these letters mailed between first date and marriage, DuMar distills her mother's intimacies, anxieties, and endearments, engaging readers in the captivating dynamic of a couple falling into a 50-y...

¿Before I start my blurb, the blurb part of my blurb, with the references to other writers and a bit on the skills of the poet, all of which are going to be completely accurate and true, I want to say that this is the most fun I've had reading a book of poems in ages. Beer-in-church fun. Oxygen-on-the-moon fun. Favorite-musician-fingerpicking-your-favorite-song-on-your-birthday fun. Kareem Tayyar is one of the rare poets who still hears Americ...

The poet says of their collection: "Spleen" shows snapshots of the moments themselves: someone is quitting a job, someone is working during the pandemic, someone is grieving. The speakers in these poems are doing the thing & feeling the thing. The poems of "Abjection" attempt to center the feelings of situations over any possible narrative stories behind them. These poems lie prostrate toward the floor, looking toward the molten core of wha...

The poems in Deborah Leipziger's Story & Bone are centered around connection, the forging of it, the strength of it and the loss of it. She writes of the connections between mother and daughter and between the daughter and her own three daughters. She writes of the broken and whole sensual and emotional connections between lovers and partners. She explores her connection with nature [especially flowers], with Judaism, with her body, her past, ...

Break On Through" is the first volume of Lily's two-volume New And Selected Poems. The selection includes two long poems previously uncollected in books and an excerpt from Nemser's first poetry book, Taurus. All these poems are about transformation. Each poem describes an escape, a breakout, a breaking on through to the other side.

The poems in Jennifer Jean's new collection VOZ are a wonderful amalgamation of intelligent and historically aware formal pressures intertwined with an irrepressible joie de vivre animating the language and imagery (even when their subjects are difficult). The work here has such a living pulse, such clarity and warmth and ease in its expression, that I hungered for more by the end. A really wonderful book that all lovers of contemporary poetry...

The poems in Paul Nemser's A THOUSAND CURVES find inspiration from nature, travel, mysticism, memory. Time is understood in glimpses-raindrops, tides changing, splashes of a waterfall. Sometimes the background leaps out of the foreground. Bugs grind leaves, a line from a rock song repeats and repeats. Here are ecstasies and nightmares, mysteries and clarities of daily life, fateful steps, chance encounters, donkeys braying, one nightingale cal...

What will you teach us, O Plague?" is the central question in VIROLOGY. In the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, each day offered up startling revelations of science and society. We learned that we can harm and be harmed by what we cannot see and what we choose not to see, that the world is made of worlds. We learned about connection and separation, that we live and dream in interdependent spheres, that what is peripheral can become central...

Liz Ahl's second full-length collection contemplates grieving and the quests for solace that guide - for better and for worse - living in the face of loss. The losses in this book - of life, of health, of ways of thinking - create absences in which poems seek balance between what is lost and what remains.

The voice in these remarkable poems displays the assurance of a poet who has perfected her art. This authority carries throughout all three sections of the book: from the first section, scenes from childhood written with the authenticity of a child's point of view, that is without sentimentality or rationalization, through "Transparency, " poems of almost prayerful wonder at the natural world, culminating in "Proof of the Spinning World" which...

What strange mercy I sew with dull pins, " says Florence Nightingale in Bernadette McComish's fascinating new chapbook. In spare, deadly accurate lines--a nurse's work in Crimean winter is "closing eyes/frozen open"--McComish will show you the antipodes of the human condition: our capacity for suffering, our ability to love in the face of horror, and the silence at the heart of our lives. Florence Nightingale's Lost Log is a brilliant achievem...

Sleeping in the Dead Girl's Room yearns for a truth that eludes knowing. These poems grapple with the presumed suicide death of an aunt and with the poet's mental health history and hospitalization. The poet is her aunt's namesake.

If by Song is a poetry of loneliness, grief, love, joy, and self-confrontation. Its music comes as much from movement of mind and feeling as from technical and syntactic inventiveness. The volume is organized into sections of related poems, and the book is itself a coherent whole. A small section of translations includes poems from ancient Greek and Latin, as well as Anglo-Saxon riddles. Though a first collection by Marcia Karp, the work is th...

With precise language and deep self-awareness Margot Wizansky writes her way through the aftermath of a near-fatal medical emergency that left her in a week-long coma and months of gradual rehabilitation. Her poems thoughtfully consider her family's stunned love in crisis...the careful dance of redefining intimacy with her husband as her body and mind return to her..." Robbie Gamble

Good Harbor is a book of poems about trying to provide shelter for the ones we love. In poems rooted in New England and New York, Max Heinegg writes about parenting and teaching, navigating the rough waters of life to find safety in the harbors of home and community. Max's poems are grounded in places and real-life experience, but also draw on a lifelong passion for music, history, mythology, cooking, exploring nature, and a quarter-century in...

The making of meaning from ephemera is a profoundly human activity-the poems in this collection spring from this urge. The title / klädz / is the phonetic transcription of 'clouds'- the symbols indicate how to pronounce the word. Like clouds, sounds are re-combinable elements with shifting meanings and outcomes, both consequential and transient and subject to randomness and governed by physics. Each poem plays with its subject- roams within it...
