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.”
—ROBIN D. G. KELLEY,
author of Thelonious Monk: The Life and
Times of an American Original
By Ann Townsend and David Baker An essential collection of essays by important contemporary poets about the forms and rhetorical strategies of lyric poetry
By Jan Zita Grover "Grover writes movingly of the North Country in the fine tradition of
Sigurd Olson and Aldo Leopold. Hers is a voice to be listened to, and,
frankly, she is one of the most gifted new writers to come along in
years." —John Murray
By Charles Simic “Charles Simic has performed a great service by
reminding us, precisely at this moment of turmoil and destruction, that ‘there
are still poets and beautiful poems to be discovered and read with lasting
pleasure in this vile old world.’”
By Tess Gallagher "Gallagher, to her very great credit, has undertaken one of the most
daunting of poetic adventures: utilizing all the resources of language
to explore the nuances of feeling, the nature of the passage of time,
and, most intricately, the nature of language itself." —The Atlantic
Monthly
