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 Dorothea Tanning "Dorothea Tanning's verbal wizardry is a constant surprise, an abiding
delight, and readers who sit down to A Table of Content can expect to
stand up more strangely themselves. She wears her soul on her sleeve,
and it shines, it shines!" —J. D. McClatchy
"So much happens in their small, hard shapes: wit, sorrow, and an
intelligence that nips and worries its subjects into giving up their
full oddity and originality. A reader does not consume this poetry. She
is, instead, pinched and prodded towards revelation. Each neat poem is
a Pandora's box full of wonderful troubles." —Lynn Emanuel
By Eamon Grennan The retrospective collection by Eamon Grennan,
whose poetry “illuminates, clarifies, and directs our gaze toward what it is we
love but often overlook" (THE NEW YORKER)
By Albert Goldbarth "Goldbarth marries emotions, thoughts, and events we never thought to
see in proximity to one another; through his genius we rediscover the
world's history and our own. No one else now is writing what Albert
Goldbarth gives us because no one else can." —Frederick Busch
