A Spell of Songs
Peter Jay Shippy's long anticipated fourth collection is a wickedly playful journey into America's heart of darkness
Kaputniks
Is a Kaputnik addicted to failing or a prophet of our kaputs to come!? In his 5th book of poems, Peter Jay Shippy uses talk--not as it escapes our lips--but as it's heard from inside our skulls, orbiting from ear to ear to ear. He leads us from a noir haunted movie palace to a mother grinding birds into powder and finally to an Ubu who removes his tinfoil crown to hail spring, "Not a single UFO in the sky!" Peter Jay Shippy again delivers his signature humor and playfulness in the unforgettable Kaputniks.
The Incredible Sestina Anthology
More than 800 years after its invention in medieval France, the sestina survives and thrives in English. A fixed 39-line poetic form with of six stanzas of six lines each, followed by a three- line stanza known as an envoi, tornada, or tercet, the sestina is the one form of poetry that poets from all camps agree can exist in a free verse world. Formalists and avant-gardes love sestinas for their ornate, maddeningly complicated rules of word repetition. For The Incredible Sestinas Anthology, editor Daniel Nester has gathered more than 100 writers—from John Ashbery to David Lehman to Matt Madden and Patricia Smith—to show the sestina in its many incarnations: prose and comic sestinas, collaborative and double sestinas, from masters of the form to brilliant one-off attempts, all to show its evolution and the possibilities of this dynamic form.
Thieves' Latin
“Ah, writ happens.” Like the con men who rely on thieves' Latin to ply their trade, the poems in Peter Jay Shippy's award-winning collection don't play well with other poems. They are difficult. They rave. They are unsettling and blunt. They crash cars and ride tsunamis and hitch rides on tugs. They also provide a contemporary, ironic, and tender view of America, all the while layering wordplay, cleverness, and sentiment.
The Shaky Phase
The Shaky Phase luminous, melancholy, surreal, and hypnotic poems of vodka, velour, western--nature--trash, wolves, weird oscillations, and spectral shivers...Jessie Janeshek's second full-length collection is a louche, gothic journal haunted by television, drinking, and the desert. To enter The Shaky Phase is to enter a Twilight Zone of strange revenges, and of loss. But finally, it is to encounter poems that tone like falling stars, an uncanny space where words are matter.
Ten Nights' Dreams
"Ten Nights' Dreams is a collection of ten short stories or dreams. Among the ten nights, the first, second, third, and fifth nights start with the same sentence, "This is the dream I dreamed." Each dream has a surrealistic atmosphere. Some are funny, and others are grotesquely weird. Did Soseki try to express what he actually dreamed? Or was his subconscious emerging spontaneously in the form of narrative dream?"--Page 4 of cover
Outside the Lines
The first book to collect the voices of our foremost and most promising gay poets
Portrait of the Artist as a Bingo Worker
Portrait of the Artist as a Bingo Worker is every bit as lively as its title. Jakiela's wide-ranging dispatches from the land of polka, sex chairs, nut-rolls and fish frys are truly unforgettable.She sees human kindness and human folly in equal measure, and describes all of it vividly, Dinty W. Moore
A Parade of Hands
In poems alternately hard as "steel piled in a yard" and mysterious as "a handful / of winged insects throbbing against glass," there is real peril here, and real experience -- of travel, of work, of loves found and lives lost. The author teaches at Lynchburg Colllege (2004).
