Poetry. "The monsters and heroes, sometimes inseparable, that populate this book rise up, are beaten down, and rise up again in a raw and flooded mythos. With a darting, weaving musicality, sometimes talky, sometimes demonically convoluted, these poems roar and splinter. If they weren't so funny, they'd be terrifying--and they are. If they weren't so terrifying, they'd be funny--and they are. Vito Aiuto's voice comes to us from the epicenter of a concussive beauty. Get ready to be hit"--Dean Young.

Poetry. THIS ONE TREE is the winner of the 2005 New Issues Poetry Prize, judged by William Olsen. "No one is going to not-know what these poems intend, what they state, and why they exist. They have the rigor of Oppen and a serious eye-level attention to pieces and parts of the chosen subject that give them an analogical edge over pure description. They bring heart and soul back to the poet writing them."--Fanny Howe "In THIS ONE TREE, I find what might very well be the salvation of our distracted, disbanded American soul: an imperative, unempirical Gaze. Peterson commends and then commands Vision in her every word, beginning with her first ones--'Be on the lookout.' And what I find most wonderful of all is that, here, Vision goes forward to atonement and a new name in 'sweet alyssum' for us all."--Donald Revell
Poetry. "Claire Bateman's speakers are experts in failure, and they often know how silly they look from a cautious pragmatic perspective. They know they look like misfits, bumbling around in a world of rationally explicable restraints--clumsy, whacked, but undaunted and weirdly cheerful. Like other transcendentalist poets, Bateman is most powerful and moving where she gives pain and folly their due, sustaining her readiness for marvelous breakthrough amid folly and pain. Indeed, her central intuition is that the interaction between two realities, rather than either reality in itself, is what makes life, as well as poetry, terrific"--Mark Halliday, from the foreword.
Poetry. Winner of the 2004 New Issues Poetry Prize. Judge: Rodney Jones. "Kevin Boyle's poems are edgy and sometimes gritty as they cut to the bone of human experience--love, fatherhood, and work. These stunning poems offer the sweep of history as well as the inward gaze. Like many of our favorite Irish and Irish-American poets, Boyle is a great storyteller, and narratives and incidents he records in the poems are unforgettable. The beautiful surfaces of his work often serve to make the water appear safe for the reader--all the while peril reigns below"--Stuart Dischell.
Poetry. Translated from the Danish by David Keplinger. "Carsten Rene Nielsen has reinvented the prose poem as a revelation in a paragraph. His world, skillfully Englished by translator David Keplinger, is full of surprising creatures and equally surprising emotions. Nielsen is a master who deserves to be better known outside his native Denmark"--Zack Rogow.
Christopher Bursk's latest collection is not just profoundly honest; it is profoundly brave. These astonishing poems explore the space between sensuality, sexuality, and love--a landscape in which flawed human beings give birth to the flawed human beings who will one day take care of them, each generation screwing up even as it adds to the universal fund of beauty and compassion. Above all, Ovid at Fifteen reminds us what it means to feel the wonder of life too keenly--to "want to throw yourself / off the cliff, plunge / into the very heart of color." If Bursk's ordinary yet mythic heroes hold back, they do so not out of cowardice but because they remember what happened to Icarus. And so they watch, and dream, and feel, and thus "make a living / out of aching . . ." The greatness of this book lies in its immortalizing that ache, that delicious pain.
Poetry. African American studies. "For Lydia, poetry is about everything--love, family, hate, the forbidden--everything. This book gives a new voice to poetry with the wildness of fire, with the wildness that only words can know"--Patricia Jabbeh Wesley.
Poetry. "With a sublime palette that ranges from Zen simplicity to elegant diction, Bradley Paul reveals the internal life of things. How refreshing to behold the beauty of THE OBVIOUS"--D.A. Powell. "In Bradley Paul's poems, the reader hears someone odd, unlikely, and, to a large extent, unknowable, speaking in reasoned tones about unreasonable things.Paul compels the reader to contemplate whether words lead one to knowing someone else or to recognizing futher mysteries"-John Yau.
