Poetry

  • The Museum of Craven Life

    by Robert N. Watson
    (As on cover image) This dreamlike but sharply observed tour of ten museums – real and imagined – deploys a range of poetic styles and images to explore the ways humanity looks at itself. What does a wide-eyed child notice at natural history museum? What does a White tourist see and hear at a museum of Black history and culture? How hard is it to tell the difference between a thriving marriage and a collapsing one? Why do people curate themselves out of living fully as themselves?
  • Dominus

    by Tiffany Troy
    If logos, the law of the father, could be personified, the “Master” of Tiffany Troy’s devastating debut collection Dominus is its Hegelian sine qua non. It follows the journey of a “Baby Tiger” whose lyric powers and canonical, mythic transmutations (of Dostoevsky, Whitman, Machiavelli, Montaigne, and the epic Greeks) evince the apprenticeship of a genius. Is it wrong to “want life to matter” amid a wasteland of toxic positivity, double whoppers, trains, and “fathers beyond reproof”? If work inv... more

  • ENDfinity

    by hydrus Author
    Everyone deserves love, understanding, to be heard, and, above all, hope. As I began to write this book, penning thoughts and ideas about this very notion, I found myself in a place where the world sometimes appears overwhelmingly dark. I believe our minds and hearts resonate with that darkness too. Surrounded by negativity, often stemming from those around us, we may begin to doubt ourselves and our convictions. I hope that by reading this book, you can find some direction, motivation, or... more

  • Journey Bread: New & Selected Poems

    by Ruth Thompson
    From the publisher: The title of this collection suggests sustenance, and the poetry within certainly supplies that; but it is more an account of the journey itself, the journey of an accomplished poet back through her life’s work. In her preface Ruth Thompson admits that what she first conceived as a conventional “new & selected” volume became something else once she allowed her poems to become what they needed to be, sometimes radically different from how they began, and to “gather themselves... more

  • Icons

    by Jonathan Reeve Price
    Computer icons carry culture, history, and code. As buttons, they awaken functions deep inside the system. As images, they evoke old technology, memes, and mysteries. And, as artwork bearing their own titles, they come loaded with implications, overtones, and attitude. In this light-hearted study, Jonathan Reeve Price explores the complex powers of 100 icons. Price created the first style guide for Apple's writers and designers, and here recalls the invention of computer icons, when the... more

Matt Misikov ruminates on ever-lasting melancholy while yearning for, both physical and mental, a state of happiness that might just be hiding in a maximalist and obscure image of the future.
