Sandra Becker's Imperfect Matter suggests that nothing in this world, not even yearning, is perfect, yet reaches always toward that sublimity.

Imperfect Matter

Becker, Sandra

The Dividings takes the reader on a journey from “setting out” to “crossing over,” with junctures along the way that demand or invite attention and decision.

Perie Longo's poems, in Baggage Claim, cast a look at the familiarity of her early life before she journeys forward into unfamiliar territory, loss of her husband, the insecurity of security, war, and the politics of survival before she returns home at the edge of her field. Much is discarded, and what has always had profound meaning is claimed, with clearer vision and even appreciation for advancing age, gifted with grandchildren who teach her other ways to fly.

In Another Autumn, Yvonne Higgins Leach connects to the world in a big way – through an empathetic heart that seeks to understand the mysteries of the human experience. These poems fully embrace the seasons of life and they do so splendidly through perfectly chosen images, simple language, and a genuine voice.

Lavinia Kumar's vivid and sometimes first-person poems in The Skin and Under explore a body of history through world-wide healers who may use natural remedies, magic, potions, special rituals, or the familiar scalpel.

John Bradley’s EROTICA ATOMICA is a theater of the absurd, and the macbre: the worst weapons of the twentieth century examined in painstaking, mad detail, becoming surreal objects of our own folly.

THIS IS FOR THE MOSTLESS, writer and performer Jason Magabo Perez's debut book, is a lyrical collection of autobiographical poems, essays, fictions, and oral histories. Moving against discipline and genre, from city to city, barrio to barrio, these stories and sympathies are filled with familia and trauma, and cast with wildly divergent figures as iconic as Don Cheadle and Mandy Moore, and as obscure as Cobra Commander and Perez's own mother-a Filipina migrant nurse who in 1976 was framed by the FBI for murder. Ultimately, Perez celebrates and mourns the multiple migrations and afterlives of grandmothers, gangsters, girlfriends, superheroes, and poets. This book is about and most definitely for all of the mostless.

The hard truth of Jason McCall's TWO-FACE GOD is this: there is no space in this world without duality, without the glossy surface and the hidden darkness, that always pushes through and must be reckoned with. From love, to history, to memory, to race, these poems probe this duality.

The 13,000-acre Charles C. Deam Wilderness Area, named after Indiana's first state forester, is the state's only federally designated wilderness area. Since its inception in 1982, nothing with wheels is allowed in the wilderness. Principles of ecology and natural succession manage the wilderness. This collection engages the life and history of this wilderness region.
