The Burning Door
Poetry. "Very few more recently invented forms feel a truly usable engine of meaning and feeling. The 'cadae' in Tony Leuzzi's THE BURNING DOOR are just that you notice the formal pleasure, but the poems themselves are what thrill. Leuzzi couples throughout this book authority of perception, the fragrance of parable, and striking, often unflinching images, with a balancing uncertainty and highly elliptical bent. He asks the kinds of questions that invite their own unanswered consequence to flood the reader. The result is just what is wanted from any book of poems: the exhilaration of discovery." Jane Hirshfield"

The Buried Sea
In Rane Arroyo's poetry we hear echoes of Whitman, Lorca, Neruda. But more important, we hear Arroyo's own song of self rendered with a lyricism that belies its astonishing and redolent honesty. The Buried Sea: New and Selected Poems is a powerful addition to the American literary landscape. --Connie May Fowler.
Slow Lightning
Announcing the newest winner of the oldest annual literary prize in the United States
Meditation Archipelago
Poetry. "Inventive, ambitious, nimble, quick-witted, Tony Leuzzi's MEDITATION ARCHIPELAGO amasses poems of technical virtuosity and capacious insight. An alert, original personality is at work in this collection as subterranean vaults of feeling are excavated and reclaimed. And who doesn't need to be reminded of Leuzzi's comically useful wisdom: 'No one wants to be a bag of damp / waffles dragged through the valley of time'? It's a joy to have one's perceptions refreshed by these wickedly intelligent poems."--Lee Upton
Becoming Duchess Goldblatt

The Seven Necessary Sins for Women and Girls
A bold and uncompromising feminist manifesto that shows women and girls how to defy, disrupt, and destroy the patriarchy by embracing the qualities they’ve been trained to avoid. Seizing upon the energy of the #MeToo movement, feminist activist Mona Eltahawy advocates a muscular, out-loud approach to teaching women and girls to harness their power through what she calls the “seven necessary sins” that women and girls are not supposed to commit: to be angry, ambitious, profane, violent, attention-seeking, lustful, and powerful. All the necessary “sins” that women and girls require to erupt. Eltahawy knows that the patriarchy is alive and well, and she is fed the hell up: Sexually as...
The Gospel of the Bleeding Woman
The Gospel of the Bleeding Woman imagines a life for an interesting, unnamed biblical character: the bleeding woman who touches Jesus in three of the gospel accounts. The first half of this poetry collection is biblical/historical fiction; the second half, after the healing touch, moves into the realm of speculative fantasy (because faith is a strange, strange thing).
Aunt Bird
Aunt Bird is an astonishing, hybrid poetry of witness that observes and testifies to social, political, and historical realities through the recovery of one life silenced by the past. Within these pages, poet Yerra Sugarman confronts the Holocaust as it was experienced by a young Jewish woman: the author's twenty-three-year-old aunt, Feiga Maler, whom Sugarman never knew, and who died in the Kraków Ghetto in German-occupied Poland in 1942. In lyric poems, prose poems, and lyric essays, Aunt Bird combines documentary poetics with surrealism: sourcing from the testimonials of her kin who survived, as well as official Nazi documents about Feiga Maler, these poems imagine Sugarman's relationship with her deceased aunt and thus recreate her life. Braiding speculation, primary sources, and the cultural knowledge-base of postmemory, Aunt Bird seeks what Eavan Boland calls "a habitable grief," elegizing the particular loss of one woman while honoring who Feiga was, or might have been, and recognizing the time we have now.
