Citizen J hides in underground forests, worries that her toasters are miked, finds bombs in unusual places, tries her hand at piloting and cowboy human resources. She marries twelve husbands, marries twelve wives. In this series of interconnected poems, reminiscent at once of Heather Christle and John Berryman, Olszewska's everywoman hero moves across a landscape that might be America re-imagined as a post-Soviet state: surreal, contradictory.

Cassandra Troyan's Kill Manual plunges the reader through a series of bizarre exchanges and extreme situations in an intense examination of schizophrenic desire. The residual effects of pleasure, shame, and pursuit of capital pervade its contortions, at once brilliant achievements and a formal nightmare.

In the boundless and strange The Pulp vs. The Throne, Carrie Lorig collides poetic and essay forms, and rides their cataclysmic energy through extremes of language and expression. These complex, wildly attentive poems and essays form crises of intimacy that join our lives with Lorig's exploding, essential imagination.
