Book Description
Poetry. Women's Studies. PLAYING MONSTER :: SEICHE is a book-length poem that incessantly dodges between two narratives: the speaker's childhood experiences with an abusive father and, as an adult, increasingly aggressive acts made toward her mother by strange men. It is a piece of noir poetics. It is also memoir and documentary. Through tight, spare poems, Arterian's unflinching descriptions of difficult life experiences fight aestheticization, engaging directly with the events as through the poetry of witness.

Book Description
Selected as a Winner of the National Poetry Series by Mary Jo Bang Sarah Vap’s sixth work of poetry, Viability is an ambitious and highly imaginative collection of prose poems that braids together several kinds of language strands in an effort to understand and to ask questions about the bodies (and minds, maybe even souls) that are owned by capitalism. These threads of language include definitions from an online financial dictionary, samples from an essay on the economics of slavery, quotations from an article about slavery in today’s Thai fishing industry, lyric bits and pieces about pregnancy and infants of all kinds, and a wealth of quotations falsely attributed to John of the Cross. The viability that Vap is asking about is primarily economic and biological (but not only). The questions of viability become entwined with the need, across the book, to “increase”—in both a capitalist and a gestational sense. John of the Cross tries, at first with composure, to comment on or to mediate between all the different strands of the collection.

Book Description
Poetry. Fiction. Women's Studies. Latinx Studies. A mongrel tongue is a language, like English, made up of words imposed by, borrowed, inherited, pilfered, and misheard from many different languages. A mongrel tongue is a language of the mixed-up descendants of the colonized, the crimson-lipped feminized, the weepy survivors of a fevered nostalgia, and hybrid beasts of the deep. We turn to a mongrel tongue when the stories we've been told have calcified into media narratives, advertising, and purebred political campaigns, and we wish to write another story, whose ending is yet unknown. "With lyrical brilliance and discipline, Megin Jiménez's MONGREL TONGUE swerves through the many ways we live with and among disaster. The narratives here are boundless; everywhere there is a body searching for home, a political exile, a climate refugee, a body that's absorbed, a body that refuses to be absorbed, a body that refuses to disappear into history. I'm thrilled by the vibrancy of this debut, by the worlds it creates amid worlds that make us vanish."--Daniel Borzutzky "These are half stories from a fully experienced observer, peering out at the light that brings her the news. The new world is here still being discovered by a woman we recognize by her likeness to another woman we don't recognize. A hilarious a prophetic book that is tragic at heart."--Fanny Howe "Eschewing purity of all kinds, the prose poems and hybrid pieces in MONGREL TONGUE call themselves novel, document, story, tale, interview, history, invocation. This startling book revels in the translator's gulf, nomadically moving through the clutter of the world, offering slippages and valences galore."--Shanna Compton

Book Description
A New York Public Library Best Book of 2020 A Best Read of 2020 at Ms. Magazine "To read Jenny Zhang is to embrace primal states: pleasure, hunger, longing and rage." —TIME Radiant and tender, My Baby First Birthday is a collection that examines innocence, asking us who gets to be loved and who has to deplete themselves just to survive. Jenny Zhang writes about accepting pain, about the way we fetishize womanhood and motherhood, and reduce women to their violations, traumas, and body parts. She questions the way we feminize and racialize nurturing, and live in service of other people’s dreams. How we idealize birth and being baby, how it’s only in our mothers’ wombs that we’re still considered innocent, blameless, and undamaged, because it’s only then that we don’t have to earn love. Her poems explore the obscenity of patriarchy, whiteness, and capitalism, the violence of rescue and heroism. The magic trick in My Baby First Birthday is that despite all these themes, the book never feels like some jeremiad. Zhang uses friendship as a lyric. She seeks tenderness, radiant beauty, and having love for your mistakes. Through all this, she writes about being alone—really alone, like why-was-I-ever-born alone—and trying, despite everything, to reach out and touch something—skin to skin, animal to animal.

Book Description
Care Ethics and Poetry is the first book to address the relationship between poetry and feminist care ethics. The authors argue that morality, and more specifically, moral progress, is a product of inquiry, imagination, and confronting new experiences. Engaging poetry, therefore, can contribute to the habits necessary for a robust moral life—specifically, caring. Each chapter offers poems that can provoke considerations of moral relations without explicitly moralizing. The book contributes to valorizing poetry and aesthetic experience as much as it does to reassessing how we think about care ethics.

Book Description
Poetry. "In spirited kinship with the poems of Frank O'Hara and Gertrude Stein's notion of the continuous present, WONDERBENDER presents a vibrant, textured world of 'mysterious kindness, ' 'a magnificent place to visit.' Here, one is 'chosen by llamas...do not doubt us they say and the choosing is definite though the plot sometimes unclear.' Like those llamas, these poems privilege associative energy and revelatory, exuberant choosing over plot as they unfold with great enchantment and authority to reveal a skewed, at times tragic, often funny, acutely observed world. One feels lucky to be in their presence" Laurie Sheck."

Book Description
Poetry. "If you want to get a look at the future of American poetry (and feel excited about it), read this book. In these poems, Mark Faunlagui's speakers are at once sophisticated and disarmingly vulnerable; hedonistic and polymathic; aesthetically and sexually transgressive and brimming over with an ecstatic love for words and a tender devotion to the human body."--Geoffrey Nutter "Mark Faunlagui's poems shimmer and glisten to a bruised beat, leaving beautiful welts in their wake. His measured poetic ecstasy is downright addictive. ON SOME HISPANOLUSO MINIATURISTS is a true cause for celebration in these dark times."--Todd Colby "From lush jungle to city sidewalks and all the landscapes in between, Mark Faunlagui's ON SOME HISPANOLUSO MINIATURISTS takes desire across the globe. Cultures clash and commune over sex and food. Art and architecture create their own narratives. Colors are illuminated as if seen for the first time. We are left with imprints of a masterful gaze and hand upon a miniaturist's detail."--Nicolas Destino "This hot pig really knows his way around...he's like the Energizer Bunny, he never needs breaks and can go on for hours. And--a really nice guy, too."--AJ Pigglet
