"Portrait of the artist as a young man" has long been the default position, but these poems carve out a different vantage point. Seen through the lens of motherhood, of working...

From award-winner Kathy Fagan comes “Bad Hobby”, a perceptive collection focused on memory, class, and might-have-beens. In a working-class family that considers sensitivity a "fatal diagnosis," how does a child grow up to be a poet? What happens when a body "meant to bend & breed" opts not to, then finds itself performing the labor of care regardless? Why do we think our "common griefs" so singular? “Bad Hobby” is a hard-earned meditation...

Comprised of four heroic crowns of sonnets, Alicia Mountain's Four in Hand is both formal and experimental, ranging from lyric romantic and familial narratives to blank verses of reconfigured found text pulled from financial newsletter emails. Language and white space equally captivate with their sparsity and abundance as Mountain pursues the implications of national political identity with intersectional awareness. These poems interrogate our collective...

This is a collection of the body, of the failings of history and family. The range is wide and balanced-in geography, in tenderness and trauma, in startling imagery, craft, and heart. Kate Sweeney's work takes me within and outside myself, making both realms real and seen/felt as if for the first time. In fact, much of the collection feels like entering uncharted territory-and how intriguing to explore it!

Writing is a constant, living, breathing thing. Everyone has something worth saying; something worth listening to. We are told one person can't change the world, that one voice in a crowd isn't loud enough and that truth can be in the eyes and ears of the beholder. Some writers, however, disagree.
This is a collection of stray thoughts and daydreams, poetry and prose, fueled by caffeine and punctuated by the papercuts we get when we try to turn the...
