Nightboat Books Hotel abc
The poems in Hotel abc function as ethnographic notes, exposing the fact that we are all under the thumb of circadian rhythm, struggling to negotiate our shared condition. Reporters and hotel guests leave and enter the book, revealing that the face of the beloved is also an icon, that some sounds can only be heard in certain places and that the origins of language are impossible to locate. Praise for Susan Gevirtz: “Her poetry moves through passageways of mystery, words weighted with a permanent tension on a background daringly displaced.” –Barbara Guest

Nightboat Books Coming Events (Collected Writings)
Poet and scholar Susan Gevirtz's new book Coming Events (Collected Writings) undertakes the search for what she calls a "third apprehension," via questions concerning childhood learning; the vexed subject of discursive writing; film as writing's cousin; becoming "a voyeur of translation"; and a woman writer among women writers, who offer support, dialogue, and challenge. In this remarkable hybrid work, Gevirtz steps outside formal constraints to interrogate structures of making and meaning in the conduct of the writer in writing.
