I Said That Love Heals From Inside: Love Poems, Yusef Komunyakaa
I Said That Love Heals From Inside: Love Poems is a small treasure featuring five decades of love poems by Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Yusef Komunyakaa. This selection of poems captures a broad understanding of the love poetry category—there is love and the lack of it everywhere: in the bedroom and on the basketball court in the Jazz club and on the battlefield. As Komunyakaa writes, “Hard love, it’s hard love.”
GASHER Press
Double Exclusion /이중소외
Double Exclusion is a poetic, visual journey of distance, fragmentation, and alienation. Written in equal combination of English and Hangul, Kim navigates through literal waters, judicial systems, and the limits of poetry with striking attention to the most mundane scenes that paint the picture of a life without consolation. From the painstaking narration of a bleak housing accommodation to the revisioning of language in the spiral of a seashell, the collection observes and maps the world as Kim sees it, double-visioned, in which the poet must re-aim time and again seeking the language of wholeness. This collection is not a work of translation but a work of non-translation, in which the poet moves between languages to avoid detection, speaking in a fullness that few may attune their listening to.
Querencia Press
goddess, Cheryl Tan
A girl steals a god from her white lotus altar. A poet looks back on her religious past. Built upon Buddhist and Christian imagery, this chapbook is Cheryl Tan’s love letter to queer teenagehood. Glittering with fragments of a failed relationship, these poems piece together a tale of desire, destruction and loss.
Black Ocean
Biologicity, Shin Hae-uk, Spencer Lee-Lenfield (Tr.)
This debut English-language collection by Shin Hae-uk offers up poems that rebel against the thin boundaries between self and others, human and object, speaker and addressee. These poems inhabit the voices of houses, colors, planets, childhood friends; they know the manic spunk of a good day and the dizzy lethargy of a bad memory.
In this kaleidoscopic collection, Shin breaks open for today’s young poets the possibilities of time, tense, and speaker. Critics in her home country praise her as a prophet of the post-human, asking what is it like to exist and feel—as a dead animal, as a sound, as someone else’s memory. But for all its philosophical intelligence, Shin’s poetry is also funny, friendly, and sometimes even snarky, full of jagged left turns and mood changes. Shin knows what it’s like to feel you can be three different people within three minutes. These quirky, clever poems are for everyone who has ever shared that feeling.
Flume Press
Rough Cut, Tas Tobey
Follow these fourteen poems through the brine of memory’s streetlights and locker rooms, tenderly prodding the edges of early grief as Tas Tobey looks unflinchingly into the fist of urban adolescence. Each line crackles with friction as our speaker tunes himself to each threat and mercy, ultimately coming to rest in the promise of a hard-won future.
Tas Tobey is a writer pursuing an MFA in poetry at the City College of New York. His poems have appeared in Ghost City Review, Anti-Heroin Chic, Eunoia Review, The Carson Review and elsewhere.
Gnashing Teeth Publishing
Girl., Anastasia DiFonzo
Girl. by Anastasia DiFonzo is a study in coming of age within the constraints and freedoms of femininity. DiFonzo walks readers through her own experience of girlhood, both directly and from the perspective of historical female figures. In personifying abstract concepts such as “shame,” DiFonzo reveals her personal experience. However, Girl. does not only approach femininity from the context of the author’s own story; rather, it invites that of her mother and late grandmother, coaxing out the result of generational and familial wounds on an individual under the oppressive force of feminine ideals.
RADIX
Coining a Wishing Tower, Ayesha Raees
Coining a Wishing Tower is a meditation on death and the afterlife—and the irresistible pull between the two.
Through investigation of family, faith, empire, and desire, Raees sutures together parables, both real and imagined, as concrete prose-poems of chronicle and whimsy. Imagination here is populated by House Mouse running towards “the end of all possible height,” Godfish swimming in “an aquarium sea,” oblivious to the moon’s infatuation, and a cat, helplessly in love with Godfish. Nestled among them is the speaker: a daughter who desires to leave, an alien who wishes to hang herself on a wound in New York City, a philosopher who coos, “The bare minimum to life… is to just live.”
Red Ogre Press
LARPing IRL, S. Michael Shrawder
A memoir of personal development, largely focused on growing up in a blue collar Central Pennsylvania family and on the author’s experiences on the way to a Goddard MFA, often cast through the lens of live action roleplaying events.
S. Michael Shrawder is a poet, musician, and lifelong gamer from Central Pennsylvania. Born to a working class family, he attended Luzerne County Community College, Bloomsburg University, and Goddard College on the way to his MFA.
Bloodaxe Books
Backalong, Nia Broomhall
Backalong, a dialect word from Nia Broomhall’s native Somerset, describes any point in the past – it could be this March, last March, or 1979. True to its title, her impressive debut collection observes the distant past and recent past with the same eyes: the distant past through poems of place and origin; the recent through poems that track the process of grieving for someone who was right there, not so long ago. Through its musicality of language, Backalong searches for joy, finding what persists – and finding the words to pick out what shines, despite everything.
Small Harbor Publishing
THOUGHT * FROST * VOODOO, Matthew Hittinger
Guided by the magic of the asterisk, the ekphrastic impulse central to Matthew Hittinger’s work continues in Thought * Frost * Voodoo through explorations of works by Jess, Kandinsky, and Max Ernst. But there’s a reverse ekphrastic twist: drawing inspiration from kindred poet-artists like Mina Loy and Elizabeth Bishop, the poems then serve as inspiration for an accompanying series of lino and woodblock prints. Sound sculpts the line as much as the interplay of white space, text, and ink, oulipian- and oubapian-inspired restrictions dictating the hidden narratives inherent in description.
Fragments of V, Jen Rouse
Imagine two women who are and are not Virginia Woolf and Vita Sackville-West in conversation. But not really. Imagine Sappho as their marionette-maker, all the strings moving wildly in her hands. Imagine a book of fragments written from all the places where love rejects you and holds you and rejects you again. This is a book of all the things that are not. When we most want to drown out the sound of what love is. At once buoyed and bereft by the sound of love being undone by language and redone by language through these amorous voices, sit here in the middle of the conversation or meditation—or absence of both. Carry what you can. Discard everything. This book asks, Are you holding a book or your heart?
Bottlecap Press
The Be-All and the End-All, Matthew James Friday
Taking a quote from Macbeth as the starting and end point for this collection, the poems consider what makes our world wonderful and worrying, hope-filled and hopeless, inspiring and daunting.
Environmental anxiety permeates the collection, and many poems stand witness to the tragedy of what is unfolding, though there is the possibility for redemption. There are poems that look back to a naive past, that study the concerns of a worried now; and consider the future both create. Throughout, there are poems that celebrate inspiring role models in the natural world.
The poems invite the reader to wonder about their role in the writing of our future. We still have time to decide on the outcome. Is our participation going to be heroic or tragic? Are we the masters of our own fate or were we charmed, like Macbeth? Surely we can be more accountable for our actions and celebrate the wonders around us. What the ‘be-all and the end-all’ will look like is still up to us.
May You Step Forward, Jess Pulver
May You Step Forward is a collection of poems about the experience of being the mother of a child named Leo who has Cerebral Palsy. Spanning a timeline of his traumatic birth to his early teens, the poems are full of the concrete challenges and triumphs of daily life (school buses, haircuts, leg braces) which are often one and the same. Set on New England hillsides, in pharmacies and cemeteries, the poems express the layering of guilt, frustration, grief, determination, fear and joy felt by both the poet and her son as they navigated the years of his childhood together.
Written entirely in second person, mostly in free verse but including a smattering of poems in form, the chapbook reads as a sort of extended prayer, containing despair, yearning, confession, and belief. Although the poems address Leo directly, and reflect a deep hope and care for his experience, they become a conversation with any reader who has grappled with the complications of parenting, disability, or trauma.
This Warehouse Manufactures Thirst, Andrew Rader Hanson
In his debut chapbook, Hanson assembles memory, reflection, and lament into a portrait of the artist as a roving student, witnessing the antinomies of the late neoliberal order alongside the world’s marred but immeasurable beauty.
The chapbook tracks these polarities of beauty and doom through the Brutalist edges of London to the dankening mangroves of South Florida, from the acid inlets of the ocean to the emaciated alleyways of the streets.
In the process, the poems summon visions of apocalypse in the sunsets that are cross-cut by shadows of narrowing possibilities for human life, love, and freedom.
That’s the very nature of Saturn, Michy Woodward
Navigating the hard truths of Saturn Return and all the wreckage and healing that comes along with it, this debut chapbook is a personal invitation into a solar revolution and what emerges from it. The poems explore the tension between destruction and tenderness. In search of queerness and hope, the collection of poems ask the question of what exists within the constraints of chaos. That’s the very nature of Saturn is the lessons learned through momentary pleasure, desire and “fighting to love and grieve / and grieve and love / conspiring to take form.” The chapbook follows the direction and redirection of the cosmos and how they force us to embrace change. Moving from the subtleties of daily life and fleeting memories to reflections on identity, the poems range in style and length. The transformation throughout the poems demands resilience, vulnerability and humor in order to navigate a true coming of age.
See You Never, Karin Olander
Themes of alienation, lost love, fear of surveillance, and the search for identity permeate See You Never, a collection of poems revolving around an indictment of past lovers and gender norms exerting force in a bizarre world. The poems investigate the long process of saying goodbye and shedding nostalgia, and the claiming of the self in oppressive environments.
See You Never enjoys a good breathless rant, saying all the things that should have been said in the moment but weren’t. Set in a variety of ordinary places around the United States, including Edgar Allan Poe’s grave, a bad party, and a Waffle House, the poems feature an ongoing urge to escape the recollection of things past —“my memory’s the hot lettuce/and you are the rat sandwich”—and through a dreamy, unsettling world, find some way to turn toward the future.
Along the Home Roads, Andy Perrin
Andy Perrin’s debut chapbook, Along the Home Roads, is a poetic exploration of the intersection of human emotion and the natural world. The poetry included in this collection is comprised of rich imagistic vignettes of moments in time, anchored to a sense of place within nature. The arc of this collection is embodied in the turning of four seasons, bridging one June to the following June. Each poem is a way station on a journey of discovery, and a deeper understanding of how our well-being is intertwined with the natural world. In deeply moving free verse, Perrin harnesses moments of enlightenment, loss, sorrow, grief and also healing, awe and profound joy.
Regression Songs., Beatrice Timken
Regression Songs. is a series of laments. Arising in the wake of a period of petulant and indulgent self-hatred, the poems in this collection sleepwalk ever-forward, despite often longing to wind back towards the past. Swiveling between a veneration for some prior self and a near-dogmatic rejection of nostalgia, this chapbook is one of restless reflection.
Shame and desire both play here, but subdued- the shame in your most secret, quiet habits, the desire to feel the roughness of your fingers tracing over your own skin. These are poems for those who have felt as if their whole lives are often caught in their throats.
At Night and Other Poems, T. E. Niemi
Though At Night and Other Poems deals with common poetic themes—love and loss, nature’s beauty, the transience of life—its approach to them is remarkably varied. Containing such traditional poetic forms as the haiku, villanelle and rondel, it also includes variations on the limerick, elegy, aphorism and epigram. Major poetic movements are represented, too, such as romanticism, imagism and modernism. It even includes parody and nonsense verse. In short, it’s a selection of poems that will likely appeal to anyone, regardless of one’s poetic tastes.
The Zombie Family Takes a Selfie, Ed McManis
Tolstoy tells us in Anna Karenina, “Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.” And for me, that begs the question, “But what of Zombie families?” Ok, I’m not really begging that question, but I do have questions about being one of ten kids in an Irish Catholic family.
What didn’t make sense was explained as a mystery. And for me, a naïve, dreamy altar boy, my first impressions—saints, martyrs, zombies, clowns, vampires–were easily interchangeable. Now as I half-heartedly watch the spate of Zombie movies and shows and reflect, I’ve recorded bits and scenes from my relationships and observations with my family. Plenty of fodder for Tolstoy; leftovers for my siblings and the others in my life in this chapbook.
BODY/LESS, K. Mobley
What does it take to unmake a girlhood? What is left after? In BODY/LESS, witness the process of an unbecoming: the displacement of self from body, body from girl, girl from family. This collection of poems unfolds like a dissection, peeling back layers of imposed identity to reveal the creature underneath—at times gentle, and at others, a powerful scream.
Mobley navigates post-girlhood identity using the body as a focal point, a site of shame and violence, but inevitably, something that begs to be witnessed: “it isn’t enough to say / that I have missed the sun / and what it means / to be seen everywhere.”
“I Think I’ve Finally Learned Something!”, Dane Christian Joseph
Too often we hear the word ‘learning’ and jump to the conclusion that somewhere a student sits in a classroom, head buried in a book or furiously scribbling notes that will eventually be lost or not even appear on the final exam; the instructor long forgotten why they once enjoyed sharing their knowledge. But learning applies to so much more! It can happen at the most inopportune moments, or when trying to help others; after crashing a bike, or asking for forgiveness; and perhaps just from watching people navigate their own lives. It can happen early in life, closer to death, serendipitously, or even ignored.
Pillow Fights: Dream Poems from Another Life, Crystal Braeuner
In the spring of 2007, an aspiring English teacher took a course that required her to keep a nightly dream journal, then draft poems based on the dreams. She was nearing the end of her undergraduate studies, transitioning into grad school, and engaged to a fantastic partner. She was also navigating a debilitating autoimmune disease, developing a severe case of impostor syndrome, and, through the process of dream work, confronting wounds inflicted by monsters whose masks were just beginning to slip.
Finishing Line Press
Airplane Graveyard, Bryce Johle
Airplane Graveyard retraces the path that brought us here, and questions the way forward. These poems work through the redefining of masculinity in our living era. What can we keep? What should we change? How can we be sure? These questions are framed in the death of the family dog, getting married, wanting children, and in many memories of the speaker’s family, particularly his Vietnam War veteran father.
Ocean Suite, Clifford Bernier
Ocean Suite is a meditation on meaning through the sound and the circling of nature. How meaning is hidden in the waves and the sun and the moon and the singing of wildlife and the elements. Intrigued by the juxtaposition of beauty and silence, Ocean Suite explores time and peace and the movement of trees and the testament of tide. How the now and the is muse one’s inner voice. And speak to the place of meaning.
Bar Fights with Sad Kids, Melina Cohen-Bramwell
Bar Fights with Sad Kids is a rollercoaster ride through a formative decade, covering topics such as addiction, parental divorce, and that pissy smell that pervades the city of San Francisco. If you remember what it felt like to be in your teens and early twenties, or how great it feels not to be in your teens and early twenties anymore, this book is for you. Grab your copy, brace your core, and make it out of the bar fight alive.
There is a Horse in Me, Patricia Starek
Loud, vibrant, honest, deep reaching like gospel music, this collection leaves a horse in you. Patricia Starek’s poems take you over from the very first line. Her poems are screams that thunder across space and time.
They are delicate hand blown bridges connecting us to each other, raising the spirit, our wild animals. These poems dress like warriors to cross the border. They comfort, raise, stir, hold you… –Cheryl Boyce-Taylor, Author of We Are Not Wearing Helmets
Folk Tales and Elegies: a magical memoir in verse, Sal Ragen
Folk Tales and Elegies include poems of magical realism/ ruralism and memoir. The poems are a look into the writer’s life growing up in the Midwest as a neurodivergent person. From giant magical catfish, to a pizza place split between the cosmos and her journey as a two-world walker—This chapbook is a memorial to the people and places that helped shape her as a writer.
Everything is a Big Deal for an Ocean, Susan Bruce
In turbulent 2020, a year of isolation, the author stands on the shoreline of the Atlantic Ocean in Montauk, LI and determines each of the waves to be unique, and selves of herself. Everything Is a Big Deal for an Ocean is the imagined poetic exchange between a vast ocean and a tender writer, as they contend with intrinsic restlessness and connectedness.
Can You Still Feel the Butterflies?, Lindsay-Rose Dunstan
“Intense and infused with a deep sense of fellow-feeling, these poems reflect the lived experience of someone who has done some rough traveling with the wounded. Her words deliver to us a fighter, a guardian, a healer, a passionate lover of life. Joy Harjo said, ‘Maybe if we re-invent whatever our lives give us, we find poems.’ Lindsay-Rose Dunstan transforms the rough magic of this world into the flame of honest poetry, and we would do well to sit near her fire.” –Rhonda Palmer, author of Confido: Poems & Essays on Death for Those of Us Who Haven’t Gotten There Yet
Half Full, Half Empty, or Just a Glass of Unpredictable Life, Harold Whisman
Half Full, Half Empty, or Just a Glass of Unpredictable Life celebrates the things in life that put a smile on our faces, decries the things that change that smile into a frown or a scream, and ponders many other things that make our lives so surprising and unpredictable. These poems speak of family, friends, and lovers as well as a visionary’s horrifying dream, an overabundance of trash, a lawn display, and the world of nature. Although these poems are written in a range of forms, including concrete poetry, sonnet, haiku, and free verse, the language is clear and straightforward, adhering to Ted Kooser’s belief that an “accessible poem can be of use to an everyday reader.”
Inventing the Americas, William Heath
The thirteen poem sequence of Inventing the Americas depicts the true yet fabulous tale of how Christóbal Colón and Americus Vespucci explored the Western Hemisphere and why the continents were named for the latter not the former. Based on years of research and teaching, William Heath captures with poetic precision and telling detail what actually happened, even though some events are almost beyond belief. These voyages, bringing in their wake horrific consequences for indigenous peoples, profoundly changed the world.
Waterways, lisa kemmerer
Waterways carries readers from backyard raindrops and meadow marshes to mountain lakes, salty seas, and remote rivers. This collection of poems ponders the life and thoughts of a stranded sardine, tiger salamander, kayakers, river fishes, a wandering grizzly bear—and so many other paddlers, waders, and swimmers. Waterways conveys both a deep tenderness toward the natural world and the poignance of life across time.
Metal House of Cards, Amanda Maret Scharf, Hannah Smith
Metal House of Cards explores the interconnections between place, relationships, and the environment. These collaborative poems weave together two voices to tell a single story about queer love. In the wake of a lost relationship, the speaker recounts memories, weighing the costs and possibilities of seeing and being seen. This chapbook was written during a midwestern power outage, and its poems speak to the electric nature of collaboration and surprise.
Stories Told in a Lost Tongue, Elaine Harootunian Reardon
Elaine Harootunian Reardon’s quiet words speak to the immense longing for peace and place that resonates in every human heart. She reminds us through deftly, gently constructed verse that our lives are the continuum of the ones who brought us here, that this is who we are, and that we best go forward in recognition of the love, courage and devotion of those who went before. This is poetry in its finest sense – writing that casts the simple actions of our daily lives with an understanding of our deepest collective truths. This is a volume that should be read, and reread often, to remind us of how we came to be where we are, and why this remembrance matters. –Greg Fields, Author, Through the Waters and the Wild; Winner, 2022 Independent Press Award for Literary Fiction
Mother Ship, Paul Jaskunas
In Mother Ship, we gather chantarelles and words in a Lithuanian wood. We watch snow fill Lenin’s eyes, picnic in a burning field, and shake hands with “a feral future/just now beginning to snarl.” In poems of witness and warning, Paul Jaskunas envisions the ecological precarity to come even as he evokes the mysteries of the past and attends with care to the urgent possibilities of our moment. Inviting readers to “drink the cold water/from underground rivers of time,” Mother Ship shines with grace amid the wreckage of history.
Confessions of a Stutterer, Tyson Higel
Confessions of a Stutterer is an honest account of living a life of secrecy—that is, until the author’s mouth betrays him. In this brave tell-all, Higel’s poems articulate what is often left unspoken for as a person who stutters. Coursing from attempts at deception to detection, his poems speak to the embarrassment, shame, and eventual acceptance of what needs, no longer, to be hidden. From tragedy to triumph, these personal poems are relatable to all of us, in our own personal way.
Pretty Nearly All Natural, Genie Abrams
Even without binoculars, readers easily will spot in “Pretty Nearly All Natural” a red-tailed hawk, a flock of geese, an annoying gabble of grackles and a murder of crows, as the poet highlights weathers, seasons and the most invasive species of all (us). But although nature animates this collection, sharp humor, irony and poignant portraits of memorable humans fly through many of its pages, and all get their own well-deserved turn in a starring role.
Fret Not, Michael Shindler
Fret Not is an invitation to see the wildwood of life in the half-light of a half-forgotten dusk. It begins with a stroll past the treeline, proceeds by way of encounters with various creatures, characters, and scenes, and ends with the twin laments of someone who has gone too far and someone who has not. It is the author’s childhood in brief.
we held our breath, the birds and I, S. Hazen Guthrie
Only a presidential term ago, we…and the world, sheltered at home, waiting for the Covid to find us. We were isolated, but weren’t we all still a part of marches for George, mourning for Ruth, wishing to give more breath to those lives extinguished, and would we resound to vote? Each morning my husband put a cup of tea in my hand and sent me out to the garden with my journal to wrestle with the Universe. This book was found there.
Her Infinite Variety, Malcolm Glass
Her Infinite Variety is a collection of poems, stories, and plays celebrating women. Through his narratives, dramatizations, and monologues, Malcolm Glass takes his reader on a journey through the triumphs and tribulations of women and their relationships with men and other women. These pieces show women dealing with frustration and grief, making tough choices, expressing wit and sensibility, determination and confusion. The reader will find in this collection characters who are mystical and mythical, whimsical and nostalgic. “Her Infinite Variety” suggests that the depth and diversity of women extends far beyond its pages, to infinity.
