Heteroglossia
In heteroglossia, the poet enacts a kind of self-mapping through influence: from the coordinates of people and places (real and imaginary) she looks for where and who she is. The world of heteroglossia is populated with fellow writers, the F train, sisters and mothers, "the most beautiful Taco Bell in the world," mountains, post-Katrina New Orleans, West Texas, as well dimensions of season and the diurnal, "weather" being "central to what it is to be human." And from them and the making of poems, an optimism about the world's inconclusiveness and a looking ahead to the future answer-words, the ongoingness without a telos except for making.

Teach Living Poets
Teach Living Poets opens up the flourishing world of contemporary poetry to secondary teachers, giving advice on reading contemporary poetry, discovering new poets, and inviting living poets into the classroom, as well as sharing sample lessons, writing prompts, and ways to become an engaged member of a professional learning community. The #TeachLivingPoets approach, which has grown out of the vibrant movement and community founded by high school teacher Melissa Alter Smith and been codeveloped with poet and scholar Lindsay Illich, offers rich opportunities for students to improve critical reading and writing, opportunities for self-expression and social-emotional learning, and, perhaps the most desirable outcome, the opportunity to fall in love with language and discover (or renew) their love of reading. The many poems included in Teach Living Poets are representative of the diverse poets writing today.
rile & heave (everything reminds me of you)
The TRP Southern Poetry Breakthrough Series: Texas In the ecstatic tradition, this debut collection considers language as a devotion. Located in an American grain, the poems attempt to enact a collectivity, a body politic, even when the context necessary for collectivity is disrupted—by powerful storms resulting from climate change, by alienation, even by the remediation of the body in airport security lines. Yet, the poet remains stubbornly optimistic, asking readers to recognize that the “world is filling up with/gladness, see. Its utterance/ becomes a door. Enter.”

Stray Latitudes
The poems in Dan Leach’s debut collection present lyrical portraits of dying (if not already dead) suburban neighborhoods in South Carolina. Stalled-out construction sites, abandoned shopping malls, and builder grade houses that seem haunted before they’re even sold—these are the doomed spaces that populate Leach’s work. Stray Latitudes investigates the spiritual and geographical crises of the New South, pitting the individual need for identity against the recent swell of nationalism and the ongoing creep of capitalism. Like the vagrant creature for which the book is named, these are poems that scratch and claw in their search for a place to call home. The TRP Southern Poetry Breakthrough Series: South Carolina
Heaven's Burning Porch
The TRP Southern Poetry Breakthrough Series: Arkansas In Heaven’s Burning Porch, James Dunlap reckons with the legacy left to him: one of pain, gratitude, violence, and salvation. In turns dark, humorous, lyric and narrative, Heaven’s Burning Porch explores what it means to grow up in rural Arkansas under the weight of his rough inheritance. from “A Good Year for Pecans” —Central Arkansas, April The plum trees are wearing their crowns of thorn again and the clouds that hang like shreds of dried tobacco are sliding away like clots of oil in an empty lake— the persimmon tree, dying in a nest of its own fruit, now ripped in half, now yanked out of socket, its roots like thorns pulled from a muddy paw, no sound but the green whisper of pine needles raining down from the single tree left standing, and I haven’t seen enough of this night to know what it means
Scrape the Velvet from Your Antlers
The TRP Southern Poetry Breakthrough Series: West Virginia In questioning the boundaries between the world and oneself, Scrape the Velvet from Your Antlers unflinchingly explores the dark eddies of coming of age and coming out. Kelly McQuain’s poems are far roaming in setting and far ranging in style, depicting the richness of a rural West Virginia upbringing as well as contemporary adulthood in the big city and abroad. Glints of humor and glimpses of pathos abound in the imaginative leaps these poems take as they tackle such subjects as LGBTQ sexuality, homophobia, domestic abuse, and racism. Unafraid to push the limits of contemporary sonics, McQuain’s work is rich in music and varied ...
Rethinking Freire and Illich
Marking the fiftieth anniversary of two of the most influential books in modern educational and social theory, Rethinking Freire and Illich introduces readers to the results of the symposium of Paulo Freire’s Pedagogy of the Oppressed and Ivan Illich’s Deschooling Society. The collection uniquely analyses Freire and Illich together, although not in a comparative way. It acknowledges that both Freire and Illich led in different ways to a new approach to perceiving and understanding the concept of liberation as a human condition, while also presenting current criticisms of their work from a gendered perspective and by Indigenous scholars in the US and Canada. Drawing on contributions from ...
