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

Cover image of Holding PatternHolding 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)

product image By John Haines
"Such a life may not be possible again. So it is good that a writer of Mr. Haines's rare vision and poetic eloquence lived this life, and good that he has shared it." —The New York Times Book Review
product image By Mary Rockcastle
"To leave Rainy Lake is to be left with 'the lingering smell of lake water,' the haunting memory of a real girl struggling to come of age against the backdrop of the 60's, racism and Viet Nam." —Sandra Benitez
product image By Natasha Trethewey
"Natasha Trethewey's book puts women's work, and, in particular, black women's work, the hard unpretty background music of our survival, in its proper perspective. For all her meticulous control and subtle perception, this is a revolutionary book that cuts right through to the deepest places in the soul." —Toi Derricotte
product image 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
product image By Tracy K. Smith
"This is a smart, daring first book of poems. Driven by Smith's raging desire of imagination, many of these often quiet poems describe something that's not there with deft grammar reaching toward possibility." —Listed as one of eight best poetry books in Black Issues Book Review
