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
“Clint McCown’s The Weatherman is a funny and smart novel about
making it through the seriously changeable weather of life on planet
Earth. When the meteorologist of the title—a memorable character named
Taylor Wakefield—points to that seemingly empty blue screen behind him,
it’s not just clouds and sunshine that show up, it’s us.” —Robert Olen Butler
By Katerina Anghelaki-Rooke “The range and power of Katerina Anghelaki-Rooke’s language, as she recasts and reweaves the Greek idiom into forms that are powerful and new, has been compellingly captured by the translators in this volume.”
"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 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
