This collection of poems articulates a journey fully occupied with aching. The poems bear the reality of, Waiting where the black wolf wears red lipstick & everything beautiful is sealed in a box, and enduringly they arrive to a place where they're: whispering: here I am here I am here I am free.

Cry.Sweat. Bleed. Write.

Chloe Yelena Miller's Viable is the story of childbearing in the twenty-first century, when mothers are held to an impossible standard of producing perfect pregnancies, and an early miscarriage can haunt future motherhood. Many women will identify with Miller's difficult yet common experiences of anxiety, love, and loss.

Frances of the Wider Field is about mothers, daughters, time, mortality-the loss of memory and meaning. Van Prooyen's poems have clarity and ferocity, a wild imaginative grace that captures the joy and strangeness of our most intimate and familiar experiences. Frances appears part god, part curious child, part the small solitary voice inside. Van Prooyen asks " Is a sigh a word? Is a body a word? / Is a tongue the beginning?" She tells us "Memory cannot undo the future. Frances, if I said, /tonight I thank the seven sisters, it's really / the blue dust of God between them. Or you."

Poetry collection. Mary Lou Buschi's stunning full-length collection Paddock gives articulation to the hot core of griefand trauma by stripping away the noise of contemporary life. Voiced instead in a timeless languageredolent of myth, Buschi reintroduces us to the power of classical theatrical conventions like chorus,repetition, and invocation, only in Paddock's case, the speakers are girls and women whose lives-inBuschi's crystalline diction-are given epic dimensions.

Exquisitely crafted and strangely lyrical in the best way, Eric Roy's All Small Planes navigates attachment and loss in the face of America's opioid crisis via a love poem for Kate, an elegy for Sandor, and poems accompanied by a composite of friends (also known as Small Plane). I am reminded of Amy Long, Larry Levis, and Brigit Pegeen Kelly. Yet Roy also writes a world of his own, aware and weary of his country's maladies while nevertheless remaining "still faithful to a future."
