In From the Belly, Virginia Bell opens the doors to a gallery of poetic meditations - on the tenderness of childhood and motherhood, the primal pleasures of food and sex, and the joyful aches of family and memory. The poems are by turns ekphrastic and self-consciously confessional, taking inspiration from the art of everyday things.

Told in vignettes and through multiple viewpoints, Shine is the story of a young hustler who navigates streets, sex, and family, only to discover the light of the dark can be cruel...

In Adventures in Property Management, Chelsea Werner-Jatzke slices open a prototypical apartment complex like a dollhouse or an architectural model, granting us voyeurs access to the lives crowded within. With keen energetic prose, she moves from unit to unit, unpacking the confusion and loneliness of living in spaces dense with other humans-as well as the hope we must sometimes share, for connection and communion with those whose unimaginable...

Bold and wise, compassionate and erotic, the poems in Avowed explore aspects of a contemporary lesbian life within a committed relationship and as a citizen in the larger community. The narrator celebrates ("We break a glass. Mazel tov! We cry.") and mourns her losses ("Sometimes, between three and four a.m./on a break from her game/of bridge, your dead mother visits."). Riffing on Jewish liturgy, the feminist declares "everyday/I thank God/I ...

Jessica Jacobs' In Whatever Light Left to Us is about how a great love for another woman got her to write it, poems infused not only with a serious and, at times, satiric and erotic understanding of the world facing intimacy, but poems that also look at nature and earthly landscapes with a new kind of longing, which makes the book feel invigoratingly restless and the descriptive power of that restlessness knocked me out.-Michael Klein, author ...

If Denis Johnson had written Tuesdays with Morrie, it'd feel like Megan Volpert's book of prose poems. Clawing its way out through this minimalist checklist of suburban malaise is an emphatically optimistic approach to growing up. These tiny essays carefully detail how to avoid becoming one's parents, how to manage a body addled by disease, and how to keep having the best possible time in life. After all: this is the only ride there is, and we...

You could be sitting on a good one, a two-to-eight word answer that says exactly how important Guthrie's Contemplative Man is. Something concise. Something direct. Something that proves a summary actually can say something true about something else. You think, damn, this sounds smug, and you think maybe these poems are, too. This is the part where you buy the book and see for yourself.

Mysterious Acts by My People is a fearless exploration of love, grief, violence, and humor. Wetlaufer documents the search for comfort and deliverance in language rich with materiality and great pleasure. The lyrical vivacity of these poems reveals a world where bodies are capable of miracles and deterioration, tremendous loss, and grace. Proudly published by Sibling Rivalry Press.

Dennis Cooper says, "Robert Siek's ...

In Jessie Carty's most definitive collection of poetry yet, the poet explores identity through a playful juxtaposition of memory and fantasy. Says Collin Kelley, "The poems in Morph are fragmented, delicate, and searing as Jessie Carty examines the often intense need for personal transformation. If we could become someone - or something - else, would it make our lot in life better or worse?
