The Emma Press Emma Press Anthology of Motherhood
Book SynopsisThe poets write with searing honesty about the incredible strength and capacity for self-sacrifice demanded by motherhood, writing as parents as well as in relation to their own parents. The darkest thoughts of exhausted mothers are sensitively portrayed, as poets expose the weight of responsibility behind the hallowed state of motherhood, and question the expectations society places on mothers. This book gives voice to universal but usually silenced anxieties, showing mothers questioning their ability to raise their children correctly and sometimes struggling to connect with the creatures they have created. Heart-breaking and uplifting in equal measure, this book is a stunning and varied portrait of modern motherhood.

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.

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.

Black Ocean Pink Thunder
Book SynopsisWith contributions from twenty-three poets, three engineers, and over thirty musicians, Pink Thunder presents a musical and lyrical experiment by award-winning songwriter / composer Michael Zapruder, to see what happens when poems are sung instead of spoken. Potent with weird, funny, and singular possibilities, Pink Thunder''s playful and startling songs take their form entirely from the shape of the poems from which they are made. The result is a collection of musical readings both compelling and surprising. You are invited to listen. This full-color hardcover book reproduces the poems in lush hand-lettered versions illuminated by Arrington de Dionyso. It also contains an artist’s statement by Michael Zapruder and an introduction by Scott Pinkmountain. In addition, it comes with a CD containing twenty-two tracks. The book also features photographs from the recording sessions and the Wave Poetry Bus Tour. A one-of-a-kind project with a uniTrade Review"Zapruder lets the songs wander, as if he's creating a melodic new method of storytelling... He builds songs in a Jon Brian-esque style, with Elliot Smith-like sensitivity and raw ache in his vocals, treading ever-so-lightly over tracks of electric guitar, drums, synthesizers, and in some cases, marimba or brass horns." —San Francisco Bay Guardian"Zapruder may well have taken the largest step any artist, literary or otherwise, has taken in years toward reminding us why we love poetry . . . Pink Thunder is that remarkable historical happening that's both a great album and a great poetry collection." —The Huffington Post"If Pink Thunder has a message, it’s that the relationship between poetry and music is more elusive, more conditional, than that of traditional lyrics in a song. This is the best thing about the project, the way Zapruder uses his music to mirror, or echo, his own reading of the material, and its emotional effect." —L.A. Times

Milkweed Editions Copper Nickel 27
Book SynopsisCopper Nickel is a meeting place for multiple aesthetics, bringing work that engages with our social and historical context to the world with original pieces and dynamic translations.Issue 27 is particularly international—even for Copper Nickel—and features an expansive folio of younger and less-established Irish and UK poets, including Irish poets Martin Dyar, Elaine Feeney, Victoria Kennefick, Conor O''Callaghan, Paul Perry, Stephen Sexton, Lorna Shaughnessy, and Jessica Traynor; and UK poets James Byrne, Vahni Capildeo, Manuela Moser, Sam Riviere, Zoë Brigley Thompson, and Chrissy Williams. The oldest poet in the folio was born in 1968; the youngest poets were born in the 1990s.Issue 27 also features three translation folios (which are a regular feature in Copper Nickel): (1) a group of five prose poems by Danish poet Carsten Rene Nielsen (b. 1966), translated and introduced by David KeplingeTrade ReviewRecent Praise for Copper Nickel: “The new Copper Nickel is terrific—of its time without being confined to its time, careful and thoughtful and never predictable, with the kind of internal variety that I want (and rarely get) from a litmag—not a pinlight or a penlight but a light that shines on a whole field. I’m happy to read it.”—Steph Burt, author of Close Calls with Nonsense: Reading New Poetry; Professor of English, Harvard University “Through its combination of editorial acuity, serious belief in contemporary writing, and sheer handsomeness, Copper Nickel has established itself as the best new evidence of defiant vitality in the realm of literary journals.”—Mark Halliday, author of six poetry collections, most recently Thresherphobe; Distinguished Professor of English, Ohio University “Copper Nickel is THE literary magazine to read now. Since its rebirth/relaunch every issue has had, inside its stunning cover, the fiction, poetry, nonfiction and works in translation any writer or lover of contemporary writing has to read. I confess: other magazines, even the New Yorker, often sit in my house unread. But Copper Nickel gets opened as quickly as a Christmas present!”—Jesse Lee Kercheval, author of five books of fiction, most recently the novel My Life as a Silent Movie, and seven poetry collections; Professor of English, University of Wisconsin “Long regarded as one of the best literary magazines in the country, the relaunched Copper Nickel has only improved, publishing a diverse range of award-winning poetry, fiction, and nonfiction in its first year. With each new issue Copper Nickel proves itself to be a wellspring of new American writing.”—Nathan Oates, author of The Empty House; Associate Professor of English, Seton Hall University “In the great spirit of the late Jake Adam York, Copper Nickel is back and more relevant than ever. Where else to turn for such a dynamic combination of contemporary writing? Brilliantly curated, the diversity of voices, new and established, not only spans aesthetic divides but includes translation portfolios, art and essays that address pressing concerns of writers working today.”—Sally Keith, author of four poetry collections, most recently River House; Associate Professor of Creative Writing, George Mason University “Copper Nickel is one of the most diverse, daring, and visually beautiful literary journals I’ve ever read. The fact that its relaunch has gained national recognition is no surprise—now more than ever, Copper Nickel is a goldmine for readers of contemporary poetry and prose.”—Allison Benis White, author of three poetry collections, most recently Please Bury Me in This; Assistant Professor of Creative Writing, University of California Riverside “Copper Nickel is more than a literary journal—it’s an event. A celebration. An embrace. And it is also essential reading for anyone who cares about contemporary writing these days, in America and beyond.”—Whitney Terrell, author of The Good Lieutenant; Assistant Professor of Creative Writing, University of Missouri Kansas City “Copper Nickel has been a great magazine for quite awhile, and it continues to get better. Aesthetically diverse, welcoming of both established and emerging writers, it’s always worth a cover-to-cover read.”—Martha Collins, author of ten poetry collections, most recently Admit One: An American Scrapbook; Emerita Professor, Oberlin College “When I first encountered Copper Nickel, I was a hopeful graduate student looking for poems written by my peers to both resonate with me and challenge me. I found so many new heroes in the pages of Copper Nickel, and it also allowed me to encounter the work of its brilliant editors as well, including Jake Adam York. When Jake passed, I mourned both him and his vision. It’s been thrilling to see Copper Nickel come back to life, and in its new alchemical form, it is as much if not more wide-seeing and enlivening as ever. I recommend it frequently to my students, colleagues, and lovers of engaging literature and art.”—Tarfia Faizullah, author of the poetry collection Seam; Visiting Professor of Creative Writing, University of Michigan “The newly relaunched Copper Nickel is certainly one of the most exciting literary magazines being published in the country today. The poems, stories, and essays are of the very highest quality and the editors’ passion for a truly international vision of literature as well as for the discovery of new work by emerging authors shows in every issue. It’s no surprise that this year work from Copper Nickel has been selected for inclusion in three of the most prestigious annual anthologies in print: Best American Poetry, Best American Short Stories, and the Pushcart Prize Anthology.”—Kevin Prufer, author of six poetry collections, most recently Churches; Professor of Creative Writing, University of Houston “I admire the careful curation of the issues of the rebooted Copper Nickel, its diversity of aesthetics and cultural voices, in particular its commitment to emerging writers: in the current issue, two of my favorite pieces are by Sequoia Nagamatsu and Cathy Linh Che, fierce writers (each the author of one book) who are new to me. And what’s consistent in the magazine—line by line; sentence by sentence—is the caliber of the work.”—Randall Mann, author of three poetry collections, most recently Straight Razor

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.
