New in September: The Report, The Heyday of the Insensitive Bastards and Skin, Inc.
The Report by Jessica Francis Kane “The
Report is a graceful and dignified look at a single event that
quickly becomes something so much more expansive: a kaleidoscopic examination
of crowds, of disasters, of reverberations and reckoning. I was
absolutely riveted.”
The Heyday of the Insensitive Bastards by Robert Boswell
*now available in paperback*
“Like Richard Yates, Robert Boswell seems always to
wish he had better news for us. In the wide-ranging stories of The Heyday of the Insensitive Bastards, he
wishes we weren’t so lost, so conflicted, so stubborn in our
misapprehensions. But he's been watching us too closely, with too
clear an eye, too keen an intelligence, and besides, Boswell’s real
talent, like Yates’s, is for telling us the truth.”
Skin, Inc. by Thomas Sayers Ellis “Thomas Sayers Ellis is one of the most gifted poets of his
generation and more. . . . Ellis has something to say about the moment
we’re in, and he is that rare breed of Poet, the kind whose works will be
studied for generations to come, whose
name will be uttered alongside that other great T. S.”

author of Thelonious Monk: The Life and
Times of an American Original
By James L. White The powerful influential last poems of an unsung master, now available again, with a new introduction by National Book Award winner Mark Doty
“[Picking Bones from Ash], so firmly anchored in a sensuous reality,
veers into a dream world. A reader has the sense that even the author was
driven by her most powerful character: the original mother, raising her
daughter alone, shunned by villagers, forced to make decisions that haunt her
descendants.”
By Kevin Prufer and Wayne Miller "New European Poets collects, for the first time, the work of poets from the latter twentieth century and the beginning of the twenty-first, together with new generations of translators of the poetry of Europe. For this impressive undertaking, for the knowledge, discernment and generosity of its editors, my gratitude is immense." —Carolyn Forché
By Robert Bly and Tomas Transtromer "The poems of Tomas Transtromer are points of entry 'upward into/the
depths' of an imagination, a spirit that is regeneratively inventive,
capacious, unillusioned, undaunted, admirable." —The New York Times Book Review
Lynda Hull’s Collected Poems brings together her three collections—long unavailable—with a new introduction by Yusef Komunyakaa, and allows, for the first time, the full scale of her achievement to be seen.
