New in September: Holding Pattern and All of It Singing
 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)

More books from Graywolf Press:
By Steve Stern
"There are many reasons to savor Stern's stories—they remind us of
worlds and folkloric traditions long faded from memory, as well as of
the imagination's wilder side—but perhaps the most telling of all is
the sheer pleasure they provide." —Washington Post Book World
|
By Clint McCown
“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 David Rivard
The unillusioned and effervescent new collection by David
Rivard, whose poetry “leaves me with a desire to be permanently friends
with this mysterious kind of grace.” —Tomaz Salamun

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 Elizabeth Alexander
"In narratives sweetened by the lyric pulse and pierced through by
felicitous turns of irony, Alexander chronicles the world of 'black and
tan'. Race is present in her poems in the way that sex, class, age,
even weather are present in all of our lives." —Rita Dove, "Poets Choice," The Washington Post
