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 Sven Birkerts “Birkerts on reading fiction is like M.F.K. Fisher on eating or Norman Maclean on fly casting. He makes you want to go do it.” —Jonathan Franzen, The New Yorker
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 Mary Jo Bang Now available in paperback: “Bang proves in this sad…book, the conversion of grief into
art may be balanced, if not redeemed, by the transformation of art into
grieving.”
By W.D. Snodgrass "Shrewdly provocative, the anthology teaches and keeps on teaching....
letting poetry speak for itself and ward off amateurish interlopers." —Ruminator Review
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
