New in September: Holding Pattern, All of It Singing, and Burning Down the House
 Holding Pattern by Jeffery Renard Allen
“Subtly otherworldly, each tale is electric with the rising tension that proceeds stormy weather; each tale is a veritable boxing match, as characters trapped in impossible situations feint, jab, and retreat.”
—Booklist (starred review)

More books from Graywolf Press:
By Venus Khoury-Ghata and Marilyn Hacker
"Amazing images, amazing lines; that pity brings, that pain produces. I
have huge admiration for these poems—and these translations. Marilyn
Hacker is doing a great service making them available to an American
readership." —Gerald Stern
|
By Mary Leader
"The best poems in this book are like looking at a great John Ford
film: something elemental within American experience, something born in
deprivation but capable of possessing grandeur, has found classic
expression. See (perhaps best of all) 'Among Things Held at Arm's
Length.' Mary Leader's book beautifully and eloquently recovers a world
in the act of discovering her distance from it." —Frank Bidart

By Tony Hoagland
In these taut, illuminating essays, Tony Hoagland explores matters of poetic craft—metaphor, tone, rhetorical and compositional strategies—in a buoyant conversational style less that of the scholar than of the serious enthusiast and practitioner.

By Lawrence Sutin and Jack and Rochelle Sutin
The newest edition of an essential Holocaust love story
“A powerful and illuminating personal account.... Faithful inclusiveness, combined with a depth of feeling never minimized and never paraded, makes this strong, honest, affecting book a valuable addition to Holocaust literature.”—New York Times Book Review

By Carl Phillips
"Out so much farther than our present pieties, attentive to no social
or sentimental voice, only passion's (so often ruinous, defiant of
upshot), it is not in every case, every poem, that Carl Phillips
triumphs over my timidity. As with Sappho and Pasolini, though, traces
of the winged god are everywhere unmistakable, even when this new poet
has kicked them over: it is a sacred entail his harsh graces make. I
for one am an awed (if lacerated) heir." —Richard Howard
