Paperback. Etat : Good. A riotous yet deceptively serious addition to Adrian Blevins' oeuvre, Status Pending exquisitely leverages the lyric to fathom the liminality of human experience. These poems comprise a stenography of our lives as the buffering consciousness between voided states. Blevins straddles various faultlines as a woman who writes and mothers, who emerges from a second divorce as an Appalachian transplant in New England, who sees from midlife the stringent but unspoken socioeconomic strata framing class conflict. If marriage "was a rope across a twilight abyss (an abscess)," if aging brings the hateful labels "OUT OF ORDER / & LATE FEE," every disappointment uncovers rejuvenating clarity. "Bereavement status" engenders both heartbreak and hope, somehow, as "then you lose your losses." Blevins triumphs in her reclamation of the spectacular in the mundane. "America is a flub. // A hack. A crime! America, fuck you for making // despondent bandits of us -- / for blinding & hooding // & chaining & gagging us." Even perched on shifting tectonic plates, Blevins wins the last word: "You don't seem to know it, // but there are foxes / crossing meadows // out there fast as disco lights. There are loons on your lakes." Amen.…

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. god's breath hovering across the waters begins with the story of Arthur Penzias's discovery of the echo of the big bang through a cryogenic microwave receiver and from there explodes into a meditation on the author's mother's untimely and tragic death. Memories, history, war, science, horror movies, space exploration, and the RCA dog are just some of the subjects that expand and contract, intersect and repel, throughout the arc of the collection. Praise for previous books: Such lovely doubts in these poems.These rescues are almost always simply human--a couple making love, a child drawing--as the edge here, the dread, is so humanly complex. This is simultaneously a raw and restrained book. Israeli doesn't spew or explain but remains open to the need so consistently embodied in these poems. --Bob Hicok Israeli is visceral and brilliant, intransigent in his doubts. His poems lead deeper into the wilderness--toward the human, the ambivalent, the paradox Dorothy Day called 'a hard and dreadful love.'' --D. Nurkse. …

Paperback. Etat : Good. In his debut collection, Aaron Coleman writes an American anthem for the 21st century, a full-throated lyric composed of pain, faith, lust and vulnerability. Coleman's poems comment on and interrogate the meaning of home and identity for a black man in America, past and present. Guided by a belief system comprising an eclectic array of invented saints--Trigger, Seduction, Doubt and Who--Coleman's quest finds answers in the natural world where t]he trees teach me how to break and keep on living.…

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. In his thirteenth book of poetry, Sydney Lea gives voice to the deep connection between human life and the natural world as well as their fragility and transience. Here, nature is as much a muse as a trigger for sense memory--as a schoolboy on a playground "breathing in autumn mud, / that cherished aroma" or as witness to a redtail hawk's attack and the aftermath during which "That poor doomed duckling's wisps of down / Floated in air like snowflakes, /Diaphanous." Death is a constant presence in these poems, too, arising from the bittersweet awareness of what eventually will be lost. While there is reckoning, there are few regrets in a life well-lived and closely observed. Here is a title, but it's also a statement, an incantation and affirmation: "Let's chant it throughout the year," Lea writes, "like so much birdsong: we're here we're here we're here.".…

Paperback. Etat : Good. Cyrus Cassells has perfected a poetics of merciful vitality and tenderness, celebrating eros -- in his daring and prolific representation of lust, yes, but more broadly in his understanding of the erotic as an affirmation and preservation of life -- through time and space. Beginning his latest collection with the piece You Be the Dancer, he bids us return to sacred sites of nostalgia, insisting on it whether we're feeling frisky, / Empty-handed, / Or still beguiled by inchoate dreams--. Is There Room for Another Horse on Your Horse Ranch? is the apotheosis of Cassells's work to elevate the mundane and the bodily to the exalted, his vigorous lyrics a routine ecstasy. Though our senses lay us bare to suffering, they also create the possibilities for pleasure and connection, the basis of -- and rewards for -- humanity. My Only Bible, Cassells pledges, is this blood-red joy / Of breathing beside you, The gospel of bougainvillea / At your boyhood gate which perfumes the soul's endless, luxuriant / Coming and becoming. Gorgeous and wry in its portrayal of transformational romance and queer selfhood, Cassells's ninth book of poetry reads as an anthology of love letters to people and places across the world. Cassells revises an old premise: is it better to have loved than lost, or is that love, once bestowed, is never lost? A champion of the flight real intimacy requires of us, Cassells addresses a beloved, You've just died in my arms / But suddenly it seems we're eternal, the>joie de vivre and bravery of his perseverance made immortal through the poem's titular declaration -- I Believe Icarus Was not Failing as He Fell. If in these pages you see the crash, the poet seems to say, remember the flying, too, the giddy Argonauts we were. …

Paperback. Etat : Good. What do global combat and property ownership have to do with sex and sea turtles? According to Daniel Wolff-as it turns out, everything. More Poems about Money looks at the economic times we live in, from boom to bust, from the suburbs to the warzone, in a voice that ranges from humorous to desperate. Grappling with monetary value and how it infringes on self worth, Wolff asks simultaneously timeless and timely questions-Who has capital, who doesn't, and does that ever change?-in a style both humorous and unflinching, sparing not even himself. "'The market runs on credit," Wolff reminds us, "which romantics call yearning. / A flame. Or a sonnet." Yes, art also participates in capitalism as our lyrics stoke the fire of want, fueling this system and getting snuffed by it. Pivoting from the Great Recession toward today's crisis, this undaunted book illuminates the transactions we aren't supposed to talk about, beckoning us toward the future we can't imagine. yet. &nbsp.…

Paperback. Etat : Good. Churches explores the way our experience of the world is shaped through the stories we tell about ourselves. These poems braid multiple narratives that often take place in different times, or are seen through the eyes of various speakers. Here Prufer explores the interior and subjective nature of time as he engages with mortality, both as a cultural construct and a deeply personal, unarticulatable anxiety: In this filtered light, / my brain is a nimbler thing, and strange. It loves / the slow derangements distance brings.…

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. Rewriting Eden, Victoria Redel interrogates the idea of paradise within the historical context of borders, exile, and diaspora that brought us to the present global migration crisis. Drawing from a long family history of flight and refuge, the poems in Paradise interweave religion and myth, personal lore and nation-building, borders actual and imagined. They ask: What if what we fell from was never, actually, grace? What is a boundary, really? Redel navigates geopolitical perimeters while also questioning the border between the living and the dead and delineating the migrations aging women make in their bodies and lives. With stark lyricism and unflinching attention, Paradise considers how a legacy of trauma shapes imagination and asks readers to see the threads that tie contemporary catastrophes to the exigencies and flight paths that made us.…

Paperback. Etat : Good. In Torn, C. Dale Young continues his earnest investigations into the human, depicted as both spiritual being and a process, as the soul and its attendant concerns and as a device that requires charge, small / electrical impulses / racing through our bodies. What Young tells and shows us, what his poems let us hear, does not aim to reassure or soothe. These are poems written from white and yellow scraps / covered with words and words and more words-- // I may never find the right words to describe this.…

Paperback. Etat : Good. From Epicurus to Sam Cooke, the Daily News to Roots, Digest draws from the present and the past to form an intellectual, American identity. In poems that forge their own styles and strategies, we experience dialogues between the written word and other art forms. Within this dialogue we hear Ben Jonson, we meet police K-9s, and we find children negotiating a sense of the world through a father's eyes and through their own.…

Paperback. Etat : Good. Cintia Santana's virtuoso debut collection, The Disordered Alphabet, reckons with the emotional anarchy of our lives, baring the difficulty of wrestling experience into language. She surveys a cosmic crossroads, "the sluices of heaven wording as we [stand] in that great rushing wind within, yet without name, turning." These poems pay homage to inherited forms while fashioning their own shapes -- Santana writes in alliterative verse, in footnotes, in epistles to consonants and vowels, in ekphrasis, in thrall. Ranging from A to Z in style, subject, and mood, Santana's poetic encyclopedia chronicles life's ubiquitous elegies alongside the world's innumerable wonders -- true to jumbled experience, they arrive in no particular order, or in the particular order of all the time and all at once. If "let there be" enabled light, it released every other sublime liquid, for then also "there was lie. // Lapse. And lake. Luck and leap. Little by little. Letter by letter. And it was late. / And there was bloom.". …
