Penned in the Margins City State New London Poetry
Book SynopsisCity State showcases the work of twenty-seven London writers between the ages of 16 and 36. From hyperlinked walks of Battersea bombsites and guerilla gardening projects to jagged urban lyrics and dark hymns to the East End, City State presents a confident, entertaining and truly diverse snapshot of the best new poetry from London.Featuring poems by: Jay Bernard, Caroline Bird, Ben Borek, Siddhartha Bose, Tom Chivers, Swithun Cooper, Alex Davies, Trade ReviewWe are offered London as a test case for a new diversity of means and manner, from sassy performance scripts to the solid blocks of densely disjunctive language characterised as innovative or avant-garde. [City State proposes] a central space that is also the meeting place of many edges. - Philip Gross, Poetry London City State is [a] journey across the metropolis in rush hour: a journey that by turns bewilders, delights and throws up unpalatable truths. Though diverse, the poets featured here often seem to riff around several themes that are associated with London itself: dislocation, escapism, breathlessness. - Helen Mort, Pen PusherTable of ContentsJay Bernard Caroline Bird Ben Borek Siddhartha Bose Tom Chivers Swithun Cooper Alex Davies Inua Ellams Laura Forman Christopher Horton Wayne Holloway-Smith Kirsten Irving Annie Katchinska Amy Key Chris McCabe Marianne Munk Holly Pester Heather Phillipson Nick Potamitis Imogen Robertson Jacob Sam La Rose Ashna Sarkar Jon Stone Barnaby Tidman Ahren Warner James Wilkes Steve Willey

CavanKerry Press Lives Brought to Life 20 Years of Literature of
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewGrand Prize, Honorable Mention; The Da Vinci Eye, Finalist; Montaigne Medal, Finalist * Eric Hoffer Book Awards *"Just the way CavanKerry Press joyfully merges two Irish counties for its name, so its philosophy jubilantly combines Passion with Craft. Places We Return To is a treasure chest retrospective featuring a single selection from each CavanKerry book published in the last two decades. Valuing emotion and all its secret sources, as well as those bursts of interior song that surprise us when we reach a wellspring, CavanKerry prizes the personal voice—knowing what a radical act that can be, and also knowing it’s the way to the universal. That’s all here in this celebratory anthology, produced with the stunning design that has distinguished the press from a zygote of an idea to its full, expansive, generous presence today. There’s another important fusing, too: each poet here became part of a CavanKerry family of authors, the splendid result of voice, line, and design that makes marvels of their books." * Molly Peacock, author of 'Cornucopia: New and Selected Poems' and 'The Analyst: Poems,' and President of the CavanKerry Board, 2004-2009 *"The poets of CavanKerry Press tap your shoulder and invite you into their living room. You can sit here, and warm your hands on the different variants of what happens to humans, poem by poem, page by page, book by book, year by year. The best poems know how to catch experience and sing it true, and this book is filled with nothing but best poems. These gathered voices-old, young, rich, not so rich, urban and rural, love verse and they love the world. The house CavanKerry builds in this anthology suits its mission to a T; there are rooms available for all of us to wander. Think of our world. Now, think of our world without poetry. Now, open this book." * Cornelius Eady, cofounder of Cave Canem *Table of ContentsJoan Cusack Handler - Foreword Susan Jackson - Homage to My Mother Editors’ Note Howard Levy - Jackson, Mississippi, 1966 - 1Karen Chase - The Swim - 2Peggy Penn - may evening - 3Judith Emlyn Johnson - From Re/Membering the Goddess: Carolyn Kizer and the Poetics of Generosity - 4Donald Hall - The Breath of Parted Lips: Voices from the Robert Frost Place, Volume I, Foreword - 6Robert Cording - Last Things - 8Martin Mooney - The General - 9Mary Ruefle - The Pedant’s Discourse - 10Moyra Donaldson - Exile - 11Sondra Gash - Bread and Roses (Morris) - 13Sherry Fairchok - Near Rats and the Devil - 15Steven B Rogers - From Stories I Have Listened To - 16Kenneth Rosen - The Alligator’s Hum - 18Joan Cusack Handler - Gravy - 19Christopher Matthews - Child and Mother - 20Eloise Bruce - The Solid Body - 21Celia Bland - Maternity - 22Georgianna Orsini - Parts of Speech - 23Sydney Lea - From Democracy, the Spirit, and Poetic Passion - 24Catherine Doty - “For May Is the Month of Our Mother” - 26Joan Seliger Sidney - Laps - 28Elizabeth Hall Hutner - Prayer - 30Christian Barter - The Singers I Prefer - 31Laurie Lamon - When You Tell Me - 32Andrea Carter Brown - Your Dream - 33Robert Cording - The Weeper - 34Richard Jeffrey Newman - After Drought - 35Jack Wiler - New Year’s Eve - 36Ross Gay - Pulled Over in Short Hills, NJ, 8:00 a.m. - 37Robert Seder - From To the Marrow - 38Mark Nepo - The Edge - 39Susan Jackson - The Man Who Could Not Talk about the War - 41Joseph O Legaspi - Imago - 42Christine Korfhage - Picture Perfect - 44Teresa Carson - Autopsy Report - 45Karen Chase - The Book of Crime - 47Baron Wormser - From Gregory Corso, b 1930 - 48Sam Cornish - Elegy - 49Joan Cusack Handler - Hands - 50Phoebe Sparrow Wagner - My Mother Was Medea - 51Bhisham Bherwani - CANT / DESCANT - 52Laurie Lamon - Anne Frank Exhibit - 53Jack Ridl - At Fifty - 54Nin Andrews - Bathing in Your Brother’s Bathwater - 55January Gill O’Neil - Early Memory - 56Susan Jackson - Waiting - 57John Haines - From Readings from an Alaskan Journal - 59Marie Lawson Fiala - From Mirror, Mirror - 61Dawn Potter - Heavy Metal - 63Jack Wiler - Divina Is Divina - 64Robert Cording - Without End - 66Gray Jacobik - 18 - 67Baron Wormser - Travel - 68David S Cho - Night Sessions - 69Marcus Jackson - Kiss - 71Peggy Penn - Cello Suite - 73Judith Hannan - From Motherhood Exaggerated - 75Carole Stone - Running Boards - 76Kevin Carey - Memory Boys - 77Paola Corso - From Step by Step with the Laundress - 78Michael Miller - Scars - 79Joan Cusack Handler - Only Water and No People - 80Rachel Hadas - From The Waiting Room Reader, Volume II, Editor’s Note - 81Wanda S Praisner - Portrait of a Young Man - 83Shira Dentz - Circumflex - 84Sarah Bracey White - From Primary Lessons - 85Adriana Páramo - From Mariquita - 87Dawn Potter - Home - 88Howard Levy - The Steam of Tea - 89David Keller - Classified - 91Teresa Carson - Fitted Sheets - 92Annie Boutelle - Alternative - 93January Gill O’Neil - Zebra 94Loren Graham - Episode of the Encyclopedia Salesman - 95Brent Newsom - January 2009: For Anthony - 96Pam Bernard - From Great Divide - 98Baron Wormser - Leaving - 99Robert Cording - Angel - 100Robin Silbergleid - An Open Letter to Frida Kahlo - 101Joan Cusack Handler - From Inoperable - 102Sandra M Castillo - Photograph - 103Donald Platt - This Happened - 104Kevin Carey - Reading to My Kids - 105Jeanne Marie Beaumont - Portrait with Closed Eyes - 106Christopher Bursk - A Car Stops and a Door Opens - 107Tina Kelley - Yawp - 108Nin Andrews - God’s Mistake (Gil) - 109Joseph O Legaspi - Chelsea Piers - 110Cindy Veach - How a Community of Women - 111Danny Shot - Allyson, - 112Sarah Sousa - To the Comedian Who Called Thelma and Louise Two White Heifers - 113Judith Sornberger - This Autumn Morning Arrays Itself - 114Harriet Levin - Smoke - 115January Gill O’Neil - Hoodie - 116Maureen Seaton - Sweet World - 117Margo Taft Stever - Splitting Wood - 118Cati Porter - Taking My Time - 120Robert Cording - After - 121Kari O’Driscoll - From By Heart - 122Gray Jacobik - 20 - 124Fred Shaw - Argot - 125Kevin Carey - Set in Stone - 127Tina Kelley - A Dozen Secrets from God - 128Frannie Lindsay - Bead - 129Gratitudes CavanKerry Press Mission StatementCavanKerry Press Author Bios CavanKerry’s Books

Saturnalia Books Gurlesque
Book SynopsisGurlesque: the new grrly, grotesque, burlesque poetics brings together eighteen poets of wide-ranging backgrounds, united in their ability to push the aesthetic envelope through radical, femme, Third Wave strategies, and pairs them with visual artists who do the same. At the turn of the millennium, we are witnessing the emergence of a vital-perhaps viral-new strain of female poetics: the Gurlesque, a term that describes writers who perform femininity in their poems in a campy or overtly mocking manner, risking the grotesque to shake the foundations of acceptable female behavior and language. Built from the bric-a-brac of girl culture, these works charm and repel: this work is fun, subversive, and important. Poets include Brenda Coultas, Brenda Shaghnessy, Cathy Park Hong, Matthea Harvey, and Sarah Vap.

Book SynopsisWith an introduction by Tiffany Atkinson, this collection from the most recent class of poets to graduate from the UEA s renowned UEA Creative Writing MA brings together a sparkling constellation of new voices.These are poems that look dangerous on the page. They travel a lot often without the safety of a compass and they frequently find their way into territory where a moment ofchange seems surprising and sudden and inevitable. That s to say, these poems like to keep company with truth and risk and transformation. Yet sometimes they also pause in quiet places, where you can almost hear them whispering about beauty.- Bill Manhire, UNESCO City of Literature Visiting Professor, 2015.

Smokestack Books Nothing Out of this World Cuban Poetry 19522000
Book SynopsisCuba has always attracted the passionate sympathies of poets and revolutionaries. Cuba, my love, they put you on the rack,' wrote Pablo Neruda in Canto General, cut your face, pried open your legs of pale gold, crushed your pomegranate sex, stabbed you with knives, dismembered you, burned you.' Ernesto Che Guevara was a poet. The country's national poets, Jose Martí and Nicolás Guillén were also revolutionaries. After the fall of Batista, poets like Ginsberg, Hikmet, Yevtushenko and Enzensberger visited Cuba to write about the Revolution. But Cuban poetry was revolutionary long before the popular triumph of 1959, and it has remained so despite and because of the profound changes on the island since.Nothing Out of This World is an introduction to the work of thirty-six poets from Cuba writing in the second half of the twentieth-century, including Heberto Padilla, Nancy Morejón, and Víctor Rodríguez Núñez. The oldest poet here, Fina García-Marruz, was born in 1923; the youngest, Damaris Calderón, in 1967. It's an extraordinary and heady mix, combining African and Spanish influences, realism and surrealism, colloquialism and baroque, experiment and commitment, a lucid and moving introduction to a collective poetic subject that defies all kinds of social oppression. Introduction by Víctor Rodríguez Núñez.
