New in February: Red Plenty, Useless Landscape, or A Guide for Boys, and Chronic


Red Plenty by Francis Spufford
Red Plenty“Spufford, who has succeeded in turning possibly the least promising fictional material of all time into an incredibly smart, surprisingly involving and deeply eccentric book, a hammer-and-sickle version of Altman’s Nashville, with central committees replacing country music. . . . I am not alone in thinking that he has one of the most original minds in contemporary literature.”—Nick Hornby, The Believer

Useless Landscape, or A Guide for Boys by D. A. Powell
Useless Landscape“Powell has now turned the corner from promising new poet into established power. [Useless Landscape] condenses his obsessions into poems clearer and more compact than ever, some scathing and others comedic, some based on life stories and others built on puns. . . . Powell, with his range of form and line, his dark but vivid humor, and his commitment to Romantic traditions, is set apart. . . . This book will belong on many lists of the year’s best.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review

Chronic by D. A. Powell
Chronic*The award-winning collection, now available in paperback!*
“D. A. Powell [has] established himself as the best poet of his generation—and arguably the most important poet under 50.”—Time Out New York

“You don’t just read The Adderall Diaries; you fall right into them. You read as if you are a few words behind the writer, trying to catch up, to find out what happens, to yell at him that he’s doing a great job. And he is. It’s a brilliant book.”
