Poetry. Jewish Studies. Middle Eastern Studies. "With unflinching courage, clarity, and wit, Sami Shalom Chetrit has gone places no contemporary Israeli Hebrew poet has dared venture. These are places in which the brutality of separatist ideology, enforced identity, militarism, and military occupation, have attempted to blot out the ethics of memory and human relations. It is in these ruins that Chetrit's rage, irony, and compassion create new ways of imagining realities we thought had reached a point of utter saturation. This collection finally allows English readers a chance to hear Chetrit's vital and inspiring voice."—Ammiel Alcalay, professor of Comparative Literature Queens College and CUNY Graduate Center

Fiction. FOLLOWING TOMMY tells the story of the O'Days, two young brothers living in an Irish American, wor king class neighborhood on Chicago's West Side in the 1960s. As thieves they are the bane of the neighborhood until the arrival of the first African American family. "FOLLOWING TOMMY is a powerful, mesmerizing debut novel by Bob Hartley. Sharp-edged and honed to perfection, this novel takes us back to the Irish ghetto of the West Side of Chicago in the early '60s. These characters pack-a-punch to the gut: tough, perceptive and shrewd. An unforgettable read."—Meg Tuite "In Hartley's novel, set in the heartland of America, we dive deeply into disturbing pathos of intriguing and relatable characters. His keen narrative balances so the lively dialogue, and we feel we know, or at the very least, can relate to so much of his book. I urge you to read this remarkable debut, FOLLOWING TOMMY."—Robert Vaughan

Poetry. "As in Flavia Cosma's whole literary production, nature isn't reduced here to the role of a neutral backdrop to the poet's life; it influences her imagination and consciousness in innumerable ways becoming a source of inspiration for a thorough studying of existing ideas and for awakening new ones. Flavia is an expert in using nature as an adequate space for metaphors, comparisons, symbols. She humanizes nature, granting it an interior life with the highest intensity at the supreme level."&#8212;Dr. Irena Harasimowicz Zarzecka, PhD Philology, University of Bucharest, Romania

Literary

Poetry. "In the opening poem of Ralph Pennel's debut collection, the speaker lists things he looks for in a poem: 'Clear blue light / A single voice, cold, in need of fire' and 'Everything I have ever buried,' making a concise introduction to A WORLD LESS PERFECT FOR DYING IN&mdash;a world which is, after all, the imperfect but beautiful place where we live and die. 'But I believe that we all, at the very least, should have some. Beauty, that is.' That persistent belief in beauty and the simple kindnesses that one human being can offer another suffuses these poems&mdash;often filled with pain and loss&mdash;with something like light."&mdash;Joyce Sutphen, Poet Laureate of MN, author of Naming the Stars "'I'm writing all this down,' Ralph Pennel says at the end of his frightening and beautiful poem 'Just Off The Hennepin Bridge': and he is writing it all down, a world haunted by both beauty and despair. Again and again Pennel returns to the theme that echoes throughout the book, 'the great immeasurable hole /that only love lost can make.' What a wonderful task to set yourself as a poet, to take the measure of the immeasurable as best you can and to call this impossible task&mdash;this ache you feel for the world&mdash;by its true name: love."&mdash;Jim Moore, author of Invisible Strings "Ralph Pennel's poems situate us front and center in the speaker's intimate company. In a few humble, trust-earning gestures, Pennel can take us great, often dark, distances. 'Confiding in the Prison Guard', written in the voice of John the Baptist on the eve of his execution, risks the one harrowing image after another in service to empathy far transcending them; the poem closes with a devastatingly vernacular plea. Whether he is slipping in and out of personae with the ease of a shape shifter, or serving his subjects as a caring spy, Ralph Pennel has reminded this reader that the single, irrefutable craft of poetry is graceful connection."&mdash;Frannie Lindsay, author of Our Vanishing
