I Love Hearing Your Dreams, Matthew Zapruder
Publisher: Scribner
Publication Date: September 24, 2024
Format: Hardcover / eBook
I Love Hearing Your Dreams is a book of reveries, of failed elegies, of “the last time that things were real” and the moments that come afterward. These are dream songs for an age of insomnia, where the poet is always awake “at that oddest hour / that does not end, / the crooked, unnumbered one” and the future seems to be “just the past in a suit / that will never be in style.” Yet dreams in Matthew Zapruder’s poems are also a place of possibility, of reality envisioned anew—sleep shows us not merely what the world is, but what it could be.
From a poet celebrated for his “razor eye for the remnants and revenants of modern culture” (The New York Times), I Love Hearing Your Dreams is a startlingly beautiful and deeply vulnerable book where lives journey into a mystifying place and emerge transformed.
Matthew Zapruder is the author of six collections of poetry, including Come on All You Ghosts, a New York Times Notable Book of the Year; Father’s Day; Why Poetry; and Story of a Poem, a National Book Critics Circle Award finalist. He has received a Guggenheim Fellowship, the William Carlos Williams Award, a May Sarton Award from the Academy of American Arts and Sciences, and a Lannan Foundation Residency Fellowship. His poetry has been adapted and performed by Gabriel Kahane and Brooklyn Rider and Attacca Quartet at Carnegie Hall and San Francisco Performances and was the libretto for Vespers for a New Dark Age, a piece by Missy Mazzoli commissioned for the Ecstatic Music Festival at Carnegie Hall. He was Guest Editor of Best American Poetry 2022, and from 2016 to 2017, he held the annually rotating position of Editor of the weekly Poetry Column for The New York Times Magazine. He lives with his wife and son in the San Francisco Bay Area, where he is editor at large at Wave Books, and teaches in the MFA in creative writing program at Saint Mary’s College of California.
Infinity Pool, Jonathan Thirkield
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
Publication Date: September 25, 2024
Format: Paperback / eBook
Diving through illusions and phantoms of virtual realms and into the human desire for boundless possibility, Infinity Pool charts the ways technologies have become embedded in our minds, bodies, and lives. Immersed in a world of data streams, neural nets, spider algorithms, and electronic terminals, Jonathan Thirkield’s poems plumb the dissonances and shrinking distances between ourselves and digital technologies, imagining what becomes of the fragile machinery of the human body amid a rapidly transforming world.
Thirkield turns to language as a mediator and explores infinity as a mathematical concept, a multiverse conceit, and a driver of the computational imagination. Traveling across the full spectrum of digital experience—from satellites crossing the edges of our solar system to microscopic bytes that operate beneath our perception—this collection is a testament to the future we imagine ourselves to be living through and to what happens when our escapist desires give way to the realities of birth, loss, parenthood, and sickness.
Through lyrical, narrative, and formal mutations, these poems cut through a decade of exponential technological growth, landing in the reality of our corporeal experiences: the isolation of chronic illness, the daunting journeys of children growing up today, and the hope that we can remain connected to each other no matter how tenuous the ties.
Jonathan Thirkield is a poet and digital artist. He is the author of The Waker’s Corridor, winner of the 2008 Walt Whitman Award of the Academy of American Poets. His poems have appeared in The New Yorker, Paris Review, Conjunctions, and other journals. He teaches computational media and digital arts at Parsons, the New School, and Columbia University.
Songs for the Land-Bound, Violeta Garcia-Mendoza
Publisher: June Road Press
Publication Date: September 24, 2024
Format: Paperback
Violeta Garcia-Mendoza’s luminous debut seeks out ways of coping in a complicated age. Exploring the constraints and anxieties of midlife in the midst of climate breakdown, of motherhood in a period of personal and planetary vulnerability, these poems speak to the persistence of nature, creativity, and love: necessary sources of hope and beauty, the ties that bind us to this shared and sacred place. Here is a lyrical and resonant new songbook for survival, a flight across the uneasy darkness, a shining course through the “wreckage strung with violets.”
Violeta Garcia-Mendoza is a Spanish-American poet, teacher, and suburban wildlife photographer. Her poetry has appeared in numerous literary journals, and in 2022, she received a grant from the Sustainable Arts Foundation. She is a member of the Madwomen in the Attic Writing Workshops at Carlow University. Violeta lives with her husband, children, and pack of rescue dogs on a small certified wildlife habitat in western Pennsylvania. Songs for the Land-Bound is her first book.
Granny Cloud, Farnoosh Fathi
Publisher: NYRB Poets
Publication Date: September 24, 2024
Format: Paperback / eBook
In Granny Cloud, Farnoosh Fathi presents poetry as the pursuit of one’s highest attention, of freedom in formlessness, and joy in surrender. Like the dispirited court tumbler in the French medieval legend said to have inspired St. Francis’s eponymous “Jongleurs de Dieu” who takes up a daily ritual of tumbling on his hands in a dark cave before a portrait of the Virgin Mary, Fathi renews our faith in the lyric imagination through wild headstands and handsprings of impishly erotic language “soiled in fecal rhymes.” The title of her book links to both the progressive cloud-based educational program in India and the “grandmaternal mind” in Zen Buddhism—a mind that is tender, equanimous, and free to be absorbed by everything one encounters. Iterations of lines tumble from poem to poem through repeated portraits of home and children, peas and baldness, worms, spiders, and snails that collect in a salivating grand cloud of lyric reinvention. The cave of her own lyric process is foregrounded in the long poem of the third and last section “Anyone’s Don’tanelle” which tracks the drafts and do-overs of the writing of the poem “Fontanelle,” that appears in the first section. In poem after poem, Granny Cloud raises a stained-glass popsicle to whatever inner chariot that carries the lyric spark through the ecstatic housekeeping of the word.
Farnoosh Fathi is the author of Great Guns (Canarium, 2013), the editor of Joan Murray: Drafts, Fragments, and Poems (NYRB, 2018), and the founder of the Young Artists Language and Devotion Alliance (YALDA). She lives and teaches in New York.

Between the Bell Struck and the Silence, Pamela Porter
Publisher: Caitlin Press Inc.
Publication Date: September 27, 2024
Format: Paperback
How does the rain sleep and where does the silence go? In her latest book of poetry, Between the Bell Struck and the Silence, Governor-General-Award-winning Pamela Porter contemplates the mysteries of existence. Porter skillfully reimagines familiar emotions: joy, loss, and healing are made new through descriptions of the flight of music, the spirits that dance between dusk and dawn, the blessings of coyotes and chickadees. Themes of Christian theology and the life and work of Van Gogh are woven throughout this rich tapestry of philosophical exploration and the healing powers of art. Between the Bell Struck and the Silence is a profound offering that delves into the essence of what it means to be an artist and to experience the striking state of being alive, with all of its joys and sorrows. With this introspective collection, Porter invites a generous appreciation for the world and life itself.

Daughter of Three Gone Kingdoms, Joan Kwon Glass
Publisher: Perugia Press
Publication Date: September 24, 2024
Format: Paperback
Daughter of Three Gone Kingdoms is part lamentation and part hymn—an illumination of diasporic hungers, hauntings, absence, and resilience. With echoes of the thirty-six hungry ghosts in Korean Buddhism running through the text, Joan Kwon Glass’s collection travels from the early twentieth century Japanese occupation of Korea to the landscapes of 1980s suburban Detroit, from Jeju Island’s caves and the DMZ to Connecticut’s shoreline, and from the winter Olympics in Pyeongchang to the pews of midwestern churches. Cast across continents and centuries, matrilineage and inherited silences, Daughter of Three Gone Kingdoms explores colonialism and “postcolonialism” through disordered eating, suicide loss, religious damage, familial estrangement, addiction, motherhood, and recovery. These poems ask urgent questions: What does it mean to be a mixed-race survivor of generational traumas in a world that often insists on binaries and singular narratives? What role does “hunger” play in navigating life in the diaspora? And, ultimately, what is required to raise an American daughter while forging a path forward?
Joan Kwon Glass is a Korean diasporic author, winner of the 2024 Perugia Press Poetry Prize for Daughter of Three Gone Kingdoms, and author of Night Swim, winner of the Diode Book Prize (Diode Editions, 2022), as well as the chapbooks How to Make Pancakes for a Dead Boy (Harbor Editions, 2022) and If Rust Can Grow on the Moon (Milk & Cake Press, 2022). Her poems have been featured in The Margins (Asian American Writers’ Workshop), Poetry, Poetry Daily, Poetry Northwest, Prairie Schooner, Salamander, The Slowdown, Tahoma Literary Review, and elsewhere. She lives in coastal Connecticut where she is a public school educator, and she teaches poetry at writing centers throughout the country.

Publication Date: September 24, 2024
Format: Paperback / eBook
Stand astonished at a painting, venerate the mugshot of a poet, riff on a comedian’s quip, and recall a mentor persevering through grief.

Polkadot Wounds, Anthony Vahni Capildeo
Publisher: Carcanet Press Ltd.
Publication Date: September 26, 2024
Format: Paperback / eBook
Polkadot Wounds is a delight, wrestling with life in our restless times. Capildeo entices us to enter conversations with others (dead and living), amongst glimpsing reflections of encounters. Landscapes become ‘landskips’, playing on traditions of travel and nature writing, childlike spontaneity and movement across gaps. Dante’s Divine Comedy frames untimely deaths and breakthroughs of joy, during the pandemic and in queer and far-flung communities. The title of the book is inspired by the stones of the ruined Norman castle in Launceston, Cornwall, and the local martyr, St Cuthbert Mayne, where Capildeo was writer-in-residence with the Charles Causley Trust.
Anthony (Vahni) Capildeo FRSL is a Trinidadian Scottish writer of poetry and non-fiction. They are currently Professor and Writer in Residence at the University of York.

Great Silent Ballad, A.F. Moritz
Publisher: House of Anansi Press
Publication Date: September 24, 2024
Format: Paperback / eBook
Great Silent Ballad, beloved lyric poet A.F. Moritz’s twenty-second volume of poetry, in visionary terms forwards the assertion that poetry, a primordial reality, is in the current moment both the equal of, and the antidote to, the rest of present-day civilization and its suicidal nature.
The book unfolds in seven short sections that probe such topics as the crucial value of childhood; a human person’s development through maturity and age; the perennially avant-garde nature of great poetry no matter what time and place; and poetry’s inherent involvement with hope and creativity, life and feeling, freedom and love. Great Silent Ballad also reprises Moritz’s longstanding celebration of common human conversation, the apex of which (he argues convincingly) is what we call “poetry”—meaning not just the art of verse, but our total access to the goodness of natural existence.
A. F. Moritz’s entire post-education life has been spent in Toronto; he was the city’s poet laureate 2019-2023. He has written twenty-two books of poetry. His works with Anansi, since 2004, have received the Griffin Poetry Prize, the ReLit Award, the Beth Hokin Prize, and the Raymond Souster Award, and were finalists for the Governor General’s Award (twice) and the Trillium Award. He has received a Guggenheim Fellowship, the Ingram Merrill Fellowship, and the Award in Literature of the American Academy of Arts and Letters.

Body’s a Bad Monster, Rowan Perez
Publisher: Andrews McMeel Publishing
Publication Date: September 24, 2024
Format: Paperback
In Body’s a Bad Monster, our narrator shares—sometimes voluntarily, sometimes reluctantly—their voice with a dissociative state called “Mouse”; Mouse and the narrator take turns inhabiting the “body” to tell the story of three monumental relationships in the narrator’s life as they unravel over time. Readers are guided along as Mouse moves in and out of love, pain, heartbreak, and redemption.
Author Rowan Perez, a prolific and innovative writer, expertly uses non-traditional poetic devices—like a lease agreement for her dissociative voice and erasure text to intentionally refuse to engage with male voices or violence—to explore themes of religious trauma, queerness, and body dysmorphia.
Body’s a Bad Monster is an engaging, one-of-a-kind journey from a bold and talented voice.
Rowan Perez is a graduate of the University of Massachusetts, Amherst MFA program for Poets and Writers (2021). She was the 2021 recipient of the Harvey Swados Award for Fiction. She is based out of New England.
Excerpts from a Burned Letter, Joelle Barron
Publisher: Nightwood Editions
Publication Date: September 24, 2024
Format: Paperback
Excerpts from a Burned Letter places the experiences of historical figures and fictional characters in modern contexts—and makes their queerness explicit. This collection highlights the circular nature of time, demonstrating how even in a post-marriage-equality world, queer experiences and queer histories still face erasure.
From the perspective of a single, modern speaker, each poem is haunted by a fictional or historical queer couple, connecting ancestors to their descendants and underlining the ancientness of being queer. The book also explores themes of religion, disability, motherhood, birth, and the experience of being a queer child. The poems zoom in and out; gross, visceral depictions of bodies and their functions stand beside poems that call out the hypocrisies of religion in both its extreme and subtle forms. These poems describe the experience of being a queer person in the present day—writing the queer history of the future.
When searching for stories of themselves in history books, queer people are often met with denial and resistance. Excerpts from a Burned Letter provides explicit acknowledgement where it didn’t exist before: You were here. You live on.
Joelle Barron is an award-winning poet and writer living and relying on the Traditional Territories of the Anishinabewaki of Treaty 3 and the Métis people (Fort Frances, ON). Their first poetry collection, Ritual Lights (icehouse poetry, 2018), was nominated for the Gerald Lampert Memorial Award. In 2019, they were a finalist for the Dayne Ogilvie Prize for Emerging LGBTQ2S+ Writers. Barron’s poetry has appeared in ARC Poetry Magazine, CV2, EVENT Magazine, The New Quarterly, and many other Canadian literary publications. They live with their daughter.

Format: Paperback / eBook
Jessica Laser has given her generation a voice and a name in this masterful, funny, and heartbreaking collection, The Goner School. Members of this school, despairing and hopeful, count themselves among the self-aware, trauma-informed inheritors of a warming, warring planet. Childhood, the gym, plant medicine ceremonies, PhD programs, Jews, evangelicals, everyone you’ve slept with, Lake Michigan, the Bay Area, William James, and Taylor Swift may seem incongruous, but they all take place in one world from which, try as we might, there is no escape.
Jessica Laser is author of, among others, Planet Drill. She teaches at Claremont McKenna College, and lives in Los Angeles, California.
Mondegreen Riffs, Angeline Schellenberg
Publisher: At Bay Press
Publication Date: September 26, 2024
Format: Paperback / eBook
In her own words, “I mishear the most beautiful things.” Acclaimed poet and spoken word artist Angeline Schellenberg pulls focus on societal convention and norms surrounding autism in her groundbreaking collection of poetry. The collection riffs upon the mondegreen, a misunderstood or misinterpreted word or phrase resulting from a mishearing of the lyrics of a song in connection to her lifelong struggle with autism.
Weaving the sights and sounds we perceive with the questions we dare to ask, Mondegreen Riffs explores the intersection of sensation, meaning, and wonder. This collection intertwines three series: prose poetry on the social history of color; pieces impersonating musical instruments; and lyrical answers to odd online inquiries such as “If I eat myself, would I become twice as big or disappear completely?”
Angeline Schellenberg’s debut Tell Them It Was Mozart (Brick Books, 2016) won three Manitoba Book Awards and was a finalist for a ReLit Award for Poetry. In 2019, she published three chapbooks and received nominations for The Pushcart Prize and Arc Poetry Magazine’s Poem of the Year. Angeline hosts Speaking Crow-Winnipeg’s longest-running poetry open mic. Her most recent collection is Fields of Light and Stone (University of Alberta Press, 2020).

THREE POEMS, Reginald Gibbons
Publisher: Finishing Line Press
Publication Date: September 27, 2024
Format: Paperback
THREE POEMS includes a reminiscence and imagining of my mother’s life when she was young, and later (“Mōdor: An Elegy”); the poem “Mother Tongue” is a romp—satirizing with energetic language the purveyors and accomplices of lies, rage, aggression, sedition, uprisings, illegality, fanaticism, and toadyism; “Elegy” is an interweaving of the story of a friend of my youth who died too young—a narrative in fragments that are interleaved with short passages from Ezra Pound’s Cantos, a book that my friend and I found dazzling, strange, daring, inventive, unpleasant, very wrongheaded, and (poetically/artistically) unprecedented.
Reginald Gibbons was born in Houston and grew up there. His novel Sweetbitter won the 1995 Anisfield-Wolf Book Award and the Texas Institute of Letters Jess Jones Award for Best Novel, and was reprinted in paperback by Penguin, and then by LSU Press, and again in 2023 by JackLeg Press.

He has published eleven books of poems, including Creatures of a Day (LSU), which was a Finalist for the National Book Award, and has won other awards, as well as writing fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation and the NEA, and a Fulbright fellowship (Spain).
