Saturnalia Books Plucking the Stinger
A girl rides on an outgrown tricycle, biting a necklace of candy hearts. A woman sleeps with a bullet under her tongue. In these vivid and crushing poems, despair has a scent and it's half perfume, half something rotten. Wild with loss and obsession, the poems of Plucking the Stinger throb like medication in the throat, a ballet interrupted by a couple breaking up, a false positive test, the terrible death of someone dear. This book is a love letter to grief with no return address.

Saturnalia Books In Memory of Brilliance Value
In his third collection, Michael Robins unleashes the couplet to bring the pastoral past into the modern day, aligning images of grazing buffalo with those of torture and war. In the intersection between reality and imagination, with violence flowing like an river beneath us at all times, these lyric poems offer associative and sonic shifts that drive the speaker's narrative insights. Like a mad chef on a tear, Robins concocts small poetic miracles using equal parts wonder and terror. His dishes are meticulously crafted and served up with gusto. We cannot help but relish in them.

Saturnalia Books Steal It Back
What if all women try to Steal It Back? America, art, life. They're in Sephora, on Twitter, at McDonald's. They're single mothers and teachers, Catholic schoolgirls and martyrs. And they're all stealing it back. Sylvia Plath gets a Malibu beach house. Lady Gaga hatches from an egg of triumph. They're hovering between the tax collectors and the Romantics, between Florida's lakes and every lavish thing in seventeenth-century France. Steal It Back journeys through America's factories, its Bed Bath & Beyonds, and its homes, where desires rise and fall, where they decide what they will fight for and what they will concede. Steal It Back, Sandra Simonds's fourth poetry collection, is a primal scream that we can't help but pay attention to.

Saturnalia Books Neighbors
Neighbors is a book of lyric narratives about the men and women who live and work next to us, the people standing in line at the DMV or buying milk and bread at the grocery store. Jay Nebel gives voice to an America lost in the graffiti of park benches and 24-hour diner parking lots, where men attempt CPR on gorillas and beat each other in back alleys with baseball bats, as well as revere their mothers. These are poems that look through the windows at the secret lives of our neighbors, their affairs and addictions, their curses and loves.

Saturnalia Books No Object
It is unbefitting to believe in ghosts, to believe what one reads,/what one writes, writes Natalie Shapero in her mischievous debut collection. With sharp wit and relentless questioning, Shapero crafts poems a reader can, if not believe in, then trust-to level with us, to surprise us, and to stay with us long after we put the book down. No Object is a fast ride you will not easily forget.

The result is in turns dramatic, enlightening, and entertaining.Contributors include: Anselm Berrigan& John Yau, Brenda Coultas & Victor Hernández Cruz, Truong Tran & Wanda Coleman, Patrick Pritchett & Kathleen Fraser, Hajera Ghori & Alfred Arteaga, Jennifer Firestone & Eileen Myles, Karen Weiser & Anne Waldman, Jill Magi & Cecilia Vicuña, Rosamond S.

Saturnalia Books Blackboards 01 ArtistPoet Collaboration
Internationally acclaimed Slovenian poet Tomaz Salamun wrote Blackboards in 1997, and two years later celebrated Slovenian artist Metka Krasovec painted Trak, a captivating series of images spanning one long scroll of paper. Joined together, as poet John Yau writes in his introduction, Salamun's melancholia and Krasovec's sense of longing set in motion... a dance of words and images, of words that evoke images we cannot picture, and images that define a world that cannot be contained in words.
