New in September: Holding Pattern, All of It Singing, and Burning Down the House

Holding Pattern by Jeffery Renard Allen
“Subtly otherworldly, each tale is electric with the rising tension that proceeds stormy weather; each tale is a veritable boxing match, as characters trapped in impossible situations feint, jab, and retreat.”

—Booklist (starred review)

To Siberia

Direct from Norway: A brilliant novel of lost innocence from the author of the international bestseller Out Stealing Horses and “a master storyteller” (Newsweek)

Red Signature

By Mary Leader
"The best poems in this book are like looking at a great John Ford film: something elemental within American experience, something born in deprivation but capable of possessing grandeur, has found classic expression. See (perhaps best of all) 'Among Things Held at Arm's Length.' Mary Leader's book beautifully and eloquently recovers a world in the act of discovering her distance from it." —Frank Bidart

An innovative and engaging nonfiction debut by “an original new voice” (Publishers Weekly) and the second winner of the Graywolf Press Nonfiction Prize.

Black Glasses Like Clark Kent

By Terese Svoboda

“Delving into the past, in this wonderful, singularly wry memoir, turns up enough guilt to go around for everyone. And yet, such is the honesty, humor and literary skill of Terese Svoboda that she manages to turn this sad story into a triumph of compassion and insight.” —Phillip Lopate, author of The Art of the Personal Essay

Avoidance

By Michael Lowenthal
"Disturbing, elegant and powerful...[Lowenthal] has thrown down one hell of a gauntlet. Disarmingly but beautifully, he's explored the blurry line between selfless love and selfish lust." —The Washington Post
