If you want to be returned to your senses and remember the pleasures of the world, this book is for you'' Alex Dimitrov''Landau''s stunning collection Skeletons opens: So whatever''s the opposite of a Buddhist that''s what I am, and these are poems wonderfully full of attachments, in love with love, friends, sex, flavours and vistas and language, because isolation it burns. Behind it is all is rage against death, incessant klepto, but Landau is a first-rate phrasemaker and gets down in words life, the full force of it / pressing us together good and hard.'' Nick Laird''Landau captures the ways humans persist, despite our collective anxiety, in our longing for something tender, something that might bloom'' Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Black Ocean Crane
Book SynopsisA book-length poem that experiments with hybrid forms, bringing together elegy and prosaic meditation. Interweaving distilled prose and shardlike verse, Crane reexamines two figures from Greco-Roman myth: Cardea, the little-known goddess of hinges, and Echo, the nymph whose body is transformed into reflective sound. Constellating personal narrative, etymological fragments, critical theory, and meditations on language, the book’s first section unearths a poetics of the hinge. The second section, “Delay Figure,” investigates the relationality of sound, the affective capacities of the nonlinguistic voice, and the dissolution of the desiring body, taking as its guiding figure the aural phenomena of echoes as well as their mythological personification. The book’s final section, “Inlet,” is a striking sequence of lyric poems that revolve around questions of time, detritus, and transformation, tracing ellipses of intimacy and illness, duration and ecological precarity.
