Darker
Alexa's fighting a losing battle with the darkness growing inside her. But there's no time to feel sorry for herself. She must find a way to stop Lilah, the demon queen hell bent on making Alexa surrender her blood to break a centuries old curse. With her power bound, Lilah is ready to play dirty. Even if it means killing Alexa's wolves, one by one. It's not easy to stay a step ahead of the demon, especially with the FPA on her case. The government op is to blame for the disappearance of Kale Sinclair. When she looks into his whereabouts, the discovery of some shady secrets paints the FPA in a whole new light. Conflict between Arys and Alexa grows hot when Arys wants to ally with Shya, a demon with his own sinister agenda. But Alexa can only deal with one demon at a time. Nothing else matters when Lilah targets someone close to her. Alexa will do anything to make it right, even walking straight into the demon's clutches. This gritty urban fantasy series is a walk to the dark and wild side. It features ass kicking action, magic, and a reverse harem twist.

New Selected Poems
More than twenty-five years after the appearance of his firstSelected Poems, we at last have a magnificent new gathering of Mark Strand’s work, one that spans and celebrates his entire remarkable career to date. FromSleeping with One Eye Open(1964) through the wonderful middle work that includesThe Continuous Life(1990), and crowned by the Pulitzer Prize–winningBlizzard of One(1998) and his most recent collection,Man and Camel(2006), this book makes a crucial selection of Strand’s always beautiful and by turns humorous and melancholy poems. Over the decades Strand’s identity as a poet has remained firm: he is existential, playful, mysterious, a poet of simple words and sentences that somehow add up to powerful universal experiences. With his incantatory language and radiant, commanding imagery, he creates mythic scenes and vistas that, however otherworldly, are ultimately of this earth: their underlying subject the pain and pleasure of being mortal. Here is an essential compilation from one of the most beloved and honored American poets at work today, without which no modern poetry collection is complete.
Come Closer and Listen
An insightful and haunting new collection from Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Charles Simic Irreverent and sly, observant and keenly imagined, Come Closer and Listen is the latest work from one of our most beloved poets. With his trademark sense of humor, open-hearted empathy, and perceptive vision, Charles Simic roots his poetry in the ordinary world while still taking in the wide sweep of the human experience. From poems pithy, wry, and cutting—“Time—that murderer/that no has caught yet”—to his layered reflections on everything from love to grief to the wonders of nature, from the story of St. Sebastian to that of a couple weeding side by side, Simic’s work continues to reveal to us an unmistakable voice in modern poetry. An innovator in form and a chronicler of both our interior lives and the people we are in the world, Simic remains one of our most important and lasting voices on the page.
Almost Invisible
From Pulitzer Prize–winner Mark Strand comes an exquisitely witty and poignant series of prose poems. Sometimes appearing as pure prose, sometimes as impure poetry, but always with Strand’s clarity and simplicity of style, they are like riddles, their answers vanishing just as they appear within reach. Fable, domestic satire, meditation, joke, and fantasy all come together in what is arguably the liveliest, most entertaining book that Strand has yet written.
