The poems in Dan Leach's debut collection present lyrical portraits of dying (if not already dead) suburban neighborhoods in South Carolina. Stalled-out construction sites, abandoned shopping malls, and builder grade houses that seem haunted before they're even sold--these are the doomed spaces that populate Leach's work. Stray Latitudes investigates the spiritual and geographical crises of the New South, pitting the individual need for identi...

The process reveals surprises like her mummi had a thick Finnish accent and blamed her terminal cancer on "all the things I never said, moving inside me." Set against the backdrop of the Watergate hearings, Her Voice: Hänen Ääensä A Hybrid Memoir weaves together diary entries, home movies, ichthyology, Nordic and P...

The only Black girl in her immigrant family, Faith Adiele was raised by grandparents who resisted Russian imperialism and embraced American voting rights.

It hopes to be a celebratory and critical look at the relationship between the various human worlds as well as the natural wor...

Engaging with philosophy and pop culture, bouncing between high and low diction, The Familiar considers the effects of sec...

Winner of The 2018 Clay Reynolds Novella Prize, selected by Clay Reynolds The S...

The poems in Eschatology in Crayon Wax evoke a feeling of being caught between a fragile yearning to be transformed and a whirlwind of botched divinity. Rooted in the antiphonal tradition of early Christian liturgies, Robbins shows compassionate care for this our world of things, caught as we are between what is and what should be.

A Wake with Nine Shades is an exploration of grief and culpability, a Dantean descent through contemporary midlife crisis. Populated by ghosts and children, lovers and amputations, bodies of water, insomnia, debt and domestic violence, Steinorth measures what is broken against the white space of the page, paying homage to the Great Lakes and snowscapes her poems inhabit and the vacancies, denials and drains they circle. Formally inventive and ...

In their long trudge back to the living, they find their chemistries altered. Jordan breathes smoke when angry. Chung flops like a fish out of water when provoked. In the ye...

Ranked among the top in the nation for its range of overall biodiversity, Alabama is far more variegated than many first assume. With its volatile history, its extraordinary landscapes, and its breadth of human perspectives, Alabamians have been underrepresented in Southern poetry, and this volume seeks to shed light on established and new, diverse voices in the Yellowhammer State.

Burning Down My Father's House continues Joey Harvell's ongoing quest to balance life and family with the search for all that he misses in this world, all the time dogged by the ragged beauty and haunted Arkansas past that haunts his and his family's trail. Part love story and ceremony, and part final reckoning between adoptive father and son, Gills's fourth collection--as one of its featured stories claims--calls down fire.

J. L. Conrad's Recovery inhabits a dreamscape filled with fragments of conversation, remembered loved ones, and the profound disorientation that accompanies loss. The incantatory poems in this sequence, at a time when the only way through is through, imagine ways of moving beyond a body flooded with grief to acceptance of what is: a body marked and wounded, a body trailing ghosts.

The essay begins as an exploration of James's burgeoning obsession with Peter Sellers, and specifically his role in hijacking and derailing production of the spy spoof, Casino Royale, in the late 1960s. But what begins as a straight reported piece on how the film set erupted into chaos, quickly devolves into its own chaos as the essay splits into 5 different narrators, each with their own agenda of what the essay is actually about. Is it about...
