Poetry. In the new collection of poetry BAD WITH FACES, poet Sean Norton delights in finding significance in the most unexpected of places, from a poetry reading interrupted by noisy caterers to the accidental connections between titles on a bookshelf. Bold and inventive, BAD WITH FACES challenges the reader to search everyday experiences for the hints toward enlightenment lying just below the surface. "Spiritual and gorgeous, BAD WITH FACES is infused with a wry wit that in no ways undermines its high seriousness. How spacious--and sweetly odd--is the sensibility behind these mindful and surprising poems! I'm deeply impressed by Sean Norton's subtle workings of surface and depth, his ironic-gentle encounters with what-is" -Alice Fulton.

<p>Poetry. A book-length sequence that draws together lyric, collage, and essay elements, THE END OF RUDE HANDLES explores landscape and the landscape of language with curiosity and tenderness. Jen Tynes's distinctively handmade poems are at the same time intellectual and playful, elusive and inviting: "When I speak of you some object is / also formed in light of that. // I enfold the brimming object to you."</p>

Poetry. In her remarkable first collection, Ivy Alvarez's MORTAL examines the relationship between Dee and Seph -- modern-day reinventions of Demeter and Persephone -- and how the specter of breast cancer affects them. 'Mortal' spans years and personalities, giving voice to mother and daughter in poems that are both visceral ("they had to unzip me / to let the cat / out of the bag // blood bathed my belly") and quietly elegant ("how do I hold you / I wonder, as I'm holding you").

<p>Jason Bredle's recent debut, 'Standing in Line for the Beast' (New Issues) has been praised by Barbara Hamby as a collection of "long loopy poems [that] make you laugh out loud and then crumple your heart like a Dixie cup." A poet of daring contradiction, Bredle continues to push his own boundaries in 'Pain Fantasy,' a book that will first delight readers with its humor and then stun them with the sincerity that lies at its core.</p>
