"We have entered the territory of concrete poetry here, where the extreme formality of the book's layout begins to shape content. The expressionistic and often elevated lyricism of Quads is held in a fine balance by the book's formal restraint, and Oulipo meets concrete poetry in the service of conceptual play. But there is also passionate protest, mostly against the inescapable crap of life!" - John Jenkins, CorditeChris Mansell has published over a dozen books of poetry and a collection of short fiction, has been translated into many languages, and won prizes for her work. She is known for her experimentalm and sometimes seriously playful approach in which she crosses boundaries but, like all true poets, stays true to her words. She gives engaging readings which bring audiences into the sounds of the poems. Chris Mansell lives in the beautiful Shoalhaven in New South Wales among the beaches and the cows, but travels frequently to cities to engage and perform there.

Hallelujah Science comes at you like a muted fever and suddenly you find yourself wanting to stomp and shout. Kane’s level of insight, revelation, and economy becomes a spiritual exodus to the lands of being Black, white, a poet, a woman, a shadow, and a human being. To be sure, when we use the phrase "dropping science," Kane drops it on a regular basis in this book. Welcome to the science of living as a celebration to be questioned, laughed at, examined, and cut with verse so exact that you have to be willing to bleed to live. Willie Perdomo, The Crazy Bunch, winner of the New York City Poetry Award

The book is divided into four chapters, and each chapter serves a different purpose; deals with a different pain; heals a different heartache. milk and honey takes readers through a journey of the most bitter moments in life and finds sweetness in them because there is sweetness everywhere ifyou are just willing to look.

This heartrending and darkly playful new collection by Alexandra Teague tries to understand the edges of self in a patriarchal culture and in relation to a family history of mental illness and loss. In poems that mix high art and popular culture (from classical Greek statues to giant plaster artichokes, Cubism to Freudian Disney dolls), Teague interweaves self-reflection with the stories and lives of mythic and historic female figures, such as the dangerous-wise witch Baba Yaga and early-20th-century sculptors' model Audrey Munson--calling across time and place to explore desire, grief, and the representation and misrepresentation of the female form.

From the author of Good Grief, an intimate collection of poems and prose which offers a glimpse into the mind of a highly sensitive person, or empath.In a world that has become increasingly difficult to navigate—physically, mentally, and spiritually—having empathy is more important than ever. But what if you have a highly sensitive mind? Highly sensitive people, known as empaths, have an expanded capacity to feel not only one set of emotions but also those of others. They experience life more deeply than the average person, leaving them more susceptible to nervous system dysregulation, emotional trauma, and abuse.Divided into three parts—Body, Mind, and Soul—Brianna Pastor’s intimate collection of poems invites us to explore what it’s like to discover high sensitivity in adulthood and view life through an empathetic lens. Hopefully, by deepening our understanding of sensitivity and how it affects others, we can move one step closer to a more connected, healed world.I have a bellyachefrom constantly absorbingall this pain. I’d ask you to refrain from telling me,but your eyes already have.

“Poetry in Korea has been a vaunted form—and traditionally left to men. Kim broke away from the masculine styles that came before her. . . . Kim has pursued a vernacular that’s intensely Korean yet open to the world.” —E. Tammy Kim, New YorkerFrom the legendary avant-garde poet Kim Hyesoon, a landmark collection documenting her first and only work of digital performance art to date.In March 2014, Kim Hyesoon, the grand dame of contemporary Korean poetry, began to post anonymously on the online blog of Munhakdongne, a major South Korean publisher. Rather than use her own name, Kim Hyesoon’s chosen persona for these blog posts was Lady No. Fittingly, Lady No’s writings are dissenting, combative, subversive, and ontologically feminine; formally, they defy any attempt at easy categorization. They are neither poems, nor are they prose, but a radical innovation Kim calls shisanmun—an ungovernable style that heralds her internationally acclaimed works Autobiography of Death and Phantom Pain Wings.The entries in this seminal collection, arranged chronologically and in their entirety here for the first time, are an eclectic hybrid of opinion editorials, aphorisms, recipes, daydreams, travelogues, art criticism, as well as treatises on the metaphysics of poetry and the current state of international literature. They take place in and around the world but most often they return to a country called Aerok, a frightening yet familiar mirror of contemporary Korea. First unwittingly, and then with concentrated grief, they chart the course of one of the most politically significant years in recent South Korean history: the sinking of the MV Sewol on the morning of April 16th that killed 304 people, including 250 high school students, and the reverberations of this national tragedy that culminated in the impeachment and ouster of the country’s then-sitting president. Taken together, these writings bear witness to the people’s shame, mourning, and perseverance under a corrupt administration—a painful public reckoning not dissimilar from our own.Surreal but visceral, and inflected with both humor and rage, Lady No contains perhaps the most accessible of Kim Hyesoon’s writing to date and documents her first and only work of digital performance art. Totaling 179 individual entries and featuring 34 drawings by the artist Fi Jae Li, Lady No explores the inner and outer lives of contemporary Korean women and embodies the inextricable link between social justice and literary citizenship.

The Sky Around My Father charts the estrangement between a daughter and her charismatic but often terrifying father. With nuance and precision, these poems bear witness to a childhood shaped by fear, love and music - where admiration and foreboding uneasily coexist. Drawing on the language of Eastern European fairytales, folk music, chess and meteorology, Emilie Jelinek's sequence explores the mythic and monstrous dimensions of paternal absence. The observing moon, recurring throughout, becomes a quiet symbol of grief and longing, bridging distance with light. Through a textured blend of anecdotal and compressed lyric poems, ther sequence captures the reverberations of trauma and tenderness alike. At once intimate and archetypal, The Sky Around My Father confronts the deep complexities of the father-daughter bond - its beauty, its terror, and its lasting weather.Winner of the Mslexia Women's Poetry Pamphlet Competition 2024

The push of the poems move you through this very unified work, the elegant and surprising mix of medical/ scientific language blended with ordinary images, the emotion in each one. Each poem builds a crescendo you feel with the poet. There are a variety of forms to fit the specific subject of each poem that startle with both bluntness and eloquence. Not usually a fan of "medical/ disease" themed works, this one won me with its cool honesty and deftly articulated sentiment without sentimentality. You are with this woman and her son as she navigates their experience. And the "conclusion" is that there is no "end point" in this endeavor, only a resolve to move forward. Each time I read this, I loved it all over again!-Raphael Kosek, author of Harmless Encounters, Winner of the Jessie Bryce Niles Chapbook Award

The tone is predominantly unfiltered, emphasizing authenticity over polish, which enhances the relatability and raw appeal of the work. This approach provides a unique, immersive experience of youth seen through the lens of poetic expression.

It begins with Or because it is a call to choose. Is this 'home' doomed or can it be saved by one's actions as the word Wyrd means. Your fate is in your hands. Choose, you English, to free yourself from the yoke of monarchical government for justice and equality. Decolonise yourselves as your colonies have gained their freedom from your royal empresses/oppressors. It's all in the details---the angry children, the hungry parents, the lack of heat, the inadequate housing, the overpriced goods---all within the system of keeping The Wealthy wealthy and The Poor poor. Leap! Do something.

Mother Pearl is a mysterious and sensuous collection of poetry written in the tradition of mystics like Mirabai and Kabir. As a student and practitioner of holistic healing, psychoanalysis, and expressive arts therapy, poet Sarah Flame draws on a wealth of knowledge in this powerful contribution to spiritual poetry. Within these pages, one finds no shortage of resonant symbols, from Indigenous mythology to nature's beloved creatures to universal questions of being. And woven throughout the collection is a devotion to all things mystically feminine-or as Flame puts it, The moon glows outside my window / big enough to embrace it all.With its sparse, careful verse, Mother Pearl is at once a celebration and a study of the beauty one can find in the natural world-both the physical and the metaphysical. It's no wonder that Flame believes A woman's body / Is a map to wisdom. Here, she shares the map with us, generously guiding us closer to the divine.
