New in July: I Just Lately Started Buying Wings and The Salt Ecstasies
I Just Lately Started Buying Wings: Missives from the Other Side of Silenceby Kim Dana Kupperman
“In this book live ghosts and nuclear fallout, disease
and abuse; however, a reader also finds moments of triumph and celebration, and
revels alongside Kupperman as she, so cautioned by her mother, ‘care[s] for
memory as if it were my child.’ I Just
Lately Started Buying Wings ensures this caretaking will continue,
uninterrupted and with great beauty, with each new reader of this collection.”

homosexual longing, the expression of that longing in a poem. I think it’s
arguable that Dante’s Inferno is better literature, but Dante couldn’t have
given me what White did.”
