One Morning--
A sharp new collection in response to a kaleidoscopic modern culture by a defining poet of her generation.
The Beginners
Theo and Raquel Motherwell are the only newcomers to the sleepy town of Wick in fifteen-year-old Ginger Pritt’s memory. Hampered by a lingering innocence while her best friend, Cherry, grows more and more embroiled with boys, Ginger is instantly attracted to the worldliness of this dashing couple. But as Ginger’s keen imagination takes up the seductive mystery of their past, she is only left with more questions. Who—or what—exactly, are the Motherwells? And what is it they want with her? Both a lyrical coming-of-age story and a spine-tingling tale of ghostly menace, The Beginners introduces Rebecca Wolff as an exciting new talent in fiction.
Manderley
Selected by Robert Pinsky as one of five volumes published in 2001 in the National Poetry Series In the Manderley of Rebecca, Daphne du Maurier's forbidding haven of mocking ghosts and secrets that refuse to remain buried, nothing is as it seems. So in this stunning debut collection by Rebecca Wolff, cities, partners, mothers, sisters, friends, and perfect strangers all disguise their true faces, while they who seek connection are "transported from one great gaping / hole in the fabric / of our knowledge to another." No passage is too dark, no garden too tangled for the troubled dreamer of Manderley. Wolff turns a quicksilver gaze on a fluid world where both the real and the imaginary are transfigured. Tempering steely candor with a sophisticated delight in wordplay, these poems turn on a dime from the sensual to the eerie, the resigned to the hopeful, the comforting to the shocking. Each poem weaves together layers of dream, remembrance, and fantasy, distilling from romantic excess a gritty, spare language of truth-telling and surprise

Slight Return
In her new collection, influential publisher and poet Rebecca Wolff voyages on bare and tender feet over the rocky mess of American hypercapitalism--including consumerism, gentrification, and branding--emerging and re-emerging far from the land of neat rhetorical solutions. Labyrinthine in their paradoxes but incisive in their witty recriminations, these poems grapple with the hubris and dysmorphia of a soul forged in the pale fire of neoliberalism. Wolff is poet-as-querent, not only of cards and sages ("I only hang out with people who are psychic / anything else is a / waste of precious continuity") but of language itself: "hooray gave me the strength / to understand a poem no problem / formal gift from language diode, diadem, overgloss, subslime. That's not a typo that's an / egregious coinage minted in a prideful cataract." These journeys from personal and social despair are infinite and recursive--moving keenly toward the point of diminished return and demurring on promises of safe arrival.
Diabetic Cookery
Rebecca Oppenheimer's 1917 work is a useful source of recipes and menus for managing diabetes through food.
Figment
What is a poem? Figment suggests myriad possible answers: a post-confession, a remnant lyric, an unerringly wistful invention. Rebecca Wolff makes use of every tool at her disposal to create charming, discomfiting poems, spiked with "shrewd summings-up" and "nervy, controlled lyric bursts" (Maureen N. McLane, Chicago Tribune).
All of This
“Beautifully written, complex, provocative, painful, genuine...an unforgettable memoir.”—ROXANE GAY “Wonderfully lyrical and uncomfortably honest in a way that is so rare, yet so needed.”—JENNY LAWSON “Disturbing and profound, this intimate book also reveals the sometimes-labyrinthine nature of the bonds that unite people in love...A provocative and memorable work.”—Kirkus Reviews After years of struggling in a tumultuous marriage, writer Rebecca Woolf was finally ready to leave her husband. Two weeks after telling him she wanted a divorce, he was diagnosed with stage four pancreatic cancer. Four months later, at the age of forty-four, he died. In All of This, Woolf chronic...
The Beginners
Struggling for a greater understanding of the world as she approaches young adulthood in her sleepy New England town, Ginger is drawn to newcomers Theo and Raquel Motherwell and becomes fascinated by their past at the same time she reaches a greater understanding of her community's dark history. 20,000 first printing.
Cheer Up, Jay Ritchie
With an alternating sense of wonder and detachment, Jay Ritchie's first full-length collection of poetry grapples with death, disappointment, love, emails – the large and small subjects of daily life. His unflagging sense of humour and aphoristic delivery create a work that is personable yet elevated, witty, and honest.
