New in June: Colosseum and Matter of Fact
 ![]()
Colosseum by Katie Ford
“This is beautiful work, subtly but insistently awake to our fraught moment, most particularly the near death of an American city. This poet is prepared to knife open the scrim of somnambulism and complicity that keeps our peril hidden from us—at our peril. Colosseum is utterly absorbing, yes, but also memorable and preternaturally wise.”—Carolyn Forché

 Matter of Fact by Eamon Grennan
“Few poets are as generous as Eamon Grennan in the sheer volume of delight his poems convey, and fewer still are as attentive to the available marvels of the earth. To read him is to be led on a walk through the natural world of clover and cricket and, most of all, light, and to face with an open heart the complexity of being human.”—Billy Collins

By William Kittredge
“You may never again see the American West in quite the same way if you take the time to view it through the eyes of William Kittredge.”—Seattle Times

By Bettina Drew
"[Drew's] criticism is sharp-edged, to the point, and nearly
inarguable....A solid, well-argued, and sometimes radical plea for a
better-built environment." —Kirkus Reviews
|
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
|
By Carl Phillips
"Readers of Carl Phillips's poetry will have some preparation for the
pleasures and insights of this volume, particularly its subtlety,
originality, and historical range. Yet Coin of the Realm will also be
admired as a prose work that stands alone. Incisive essays on George
Herbert, the Psalms, the place of race and identity in habits of
perception and reading, and the author's growth as a writer are unified
by central questions of beauty and ethics that will be of interest to
anyone who cares about literature." —Susan Stewart
|
By George Packer
"Central Square confirms again that George Packer is one of the
great young talents of American fiction. This beautifully wrought
novel, about a city, a love affair, and the perpetual American hope for
renewal, makes high art—and compelling drama—from the follies and
compromises that attend all of those things." —Scott Turow
