Some would call Neptune Park a graphic novel-minus the pictures. Mumblecore, infidel pamphlet, lazy cento, its archive harbors a voice that sounds real enough-a verbal tranny-culled from the unhoused parley of shame (and its sisters), suburban squats, queer idylls, and teenage millionaires.
Transfer of Qualities addresses the uncanny and myriad ways in which people and things, but also people and those around them, exchange qualities with one another, moving in on, unsettling: altering stance, attitude, mood, gesture.
Michelle Taransky's second collection of poems, Sorry Was In The Woods is that landscape where perspective is not singular, where waiting, worrying, watching, and recording are able to both arrange and derange our understanding of place.
The poems in Lynn Xu's striking debut collection, Debts & Lessons, travel under the power of history's illusory engine and echo its ululations of love, violence, and lament.

Contains poems which reach back to find where humans hold ideas and emotions: in the archives of their hearts and minds.

Using Shakespeare's sonnets, this book shows how the involuntary expression of language is suffused with cultural intent, how much the rhythms of the past permeate the present - and how many lost friends, lovers, and opportunities can be heard in the music of the current moment.
Our Animal hybridizes novel flaking into poetic forms like a gnat swarm, magnetic filings, or migratory flux.

We are entangled in biography as biology-paradisiacal transfiguration that leaves out no being.
In Zach Savich's new collection, intent seeing makes the present more present. The mysteries of grief and joy, of daily desire and loss, resonate fleetingly, a bell struck delicately, struck again.
