White Boots
A compendium of poems about the Western United States by the esteemed poet William Pitt Root
And Aeneas Stares Into Her Helmet
This is Aeneas, once son of Venus, now a warfighting daughter of America deployed 'from Charlottesville to Fallujah, ' straining in the thick of modern war's most perverse miasma. Tiffany Higgins' anachronistic and recast hero is one brilliantly charged nexus of exploitation and war; she is captured, tortured, and released as a sequence of heart-breaking lyrics. A stunning book. --Patrick Herron, author of The American Godwar Complex
A Half-red Sea
In a half-red sea, Evie Shockley is 'dreaming the lives of the ancestors.' Navigating against prevailing currents, these poems sail on eddy and backflow, taking inspiration from knots and twists of American history and culture. Whether improvising between the lines of a slave narrative in 'henry bibb considers love and livery,' amplifying Lady Day's most devastating blues in 'you can say that again, billie,' or going freestyle with 'double bop for ntozake shange,' Shockley's imaginationtravels every which away. In 'a thousand words' and other reflections on contemporary events, Shockley's firm grounding in history adds weight and depth to her observations of the recent past and present. - Harryette Mullen, Advance Reader

Why I Wake Early
The forty-seven new works in this volume include poems on crickets, toads, trout lilies, black snakes, goldenrod, bears, greeting the morning, watching the deer, and, finally, lingering in happiness. Each poem is imbued with the extraordinary perceptions of a poet who considers the everyday in our lives and the natural world around us and finds a multitude of reasons to wake early.
Piece Work
Poetry. "One does not know which to admire more in this collection--its fierce documentary honesty, or the perfect pitch of its imagined speakers. The two come together memorably in poem after poem, giving us deep and abiding insight into industrial and post-industrial America. This, too, is part of poetry's task: to tell what happened, and why it still matters"--Jared Carter.
Inside the Money Machine
Debut poetry collection chosen by Minnie Bruce Pratt as winner of the Carolina Wren Press Poetry Series prize.
