"Ocean Vuong's second collection of poetry looks inward, on the aftershocks of his mother's death, and the struggle - and rewards - of staying present in the world. Time Is a Mother moves outward and onward, in concert with the themes of On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous, as Vuong continues, through his work, his profound exploration of personal trauma, of what it means to be the product of an American war in America, and how to circle these fragmented tragedies to find not a restoration, but the epicenter of the break"--

Tranquility Teetering on Tears is an insightful observation of a nontraditional society and written by a nontraditional student formed and scripted in a traditional Lutheran University that is currently presided over by a Roman Catholic.The poems are interesting to be sure and question the Christian communities worldwide.This questioning was not the intention of the poet gpb but means of therapy in a world being turned upside down by children of an unknown God.Upsetting at times, yet true to form, in a world population at war rather than love.Just poems, yes, fulfilling the poet's call to discover and teach the meaning of faith, hope, and love.

The sharp, intelligent third collection from Groff (Clay) riffs on sex, death, and loss. The moving title poem addresses fear and the fragility of love, but the bulk of the book is a bitter assessment of the speaker's father, a man of God who dies mourning his former parish and his Cape Cod house, a moldy mess despised by the son: "My father's spine-split books,/ the cameras' cracked accordions,/ the sheepskin of diplomas,/ the piano's rusty intestines..." ("Prodigal"). In response to a poem about familial misdoings, the father cries: "Write about someone else's family!" Mother-son poems are kinder but less captivating, though a clever ghazal eloquently rhymes "first son" with "worst son." Having survived a childhood of tight-lidded Christianity, the gay adult son in these poems passes a succession of churches during a Sunday morning road race, poignantly remarking, "God harvests the town and scatters/ us unbelievers to our Sunday funk:/ my heart rate monitor ticking my pace" ("Chaff."). Groff memorably contends with grief and reckoning in these stirring pages. (Jul

Death: A Love Letter casts a raw, unflinching stare into one man's personal abyss-a powerful search for purpose in a life torn asunder by tragedy and loss, and an inspiring chronicle of the discovery of self-love. More than just a collection of poetry, it offers a deeply personal and ultimately courageous view of the author coping with complex post-traumatic stress disorder through the purgative power of the written word.

The poems in Maya J. Sorini's The Boneheap in the Lion's Den take us inside the intense and often gruesome world of a hospital trauma unit, a milieu both surreal and (often) deadly real. Sorini never looks away from the hard stuff-in fact, the hard stuff is where she starts-but her gorgeous, precise lines and rhythms make this book unputdownable, despite the human instinct to look away. I finished this book grateful and changed. -Lynn Melnick

"Paul Auster's brilliant eighteenth novel opens with a scorched pot of water, which Sy Baumgartner-phenomenologist, noted author, and soon-to-be retired philosophy professor-has just forgotten on the stove. Baumgartner's life had been defined by his deep, abiding love for his wife, Anna, who was killed in a swimming accident nine years earlier. Now 71, Baumgartner continues to struggle to live in her absence as the novel sinuously unfolds into spirals of memory and reminiscence, delineated in episodes spanning from 1968, when Sy and Anna meet as broke students working and writing in New York, through their passionate relationship over the next forty years, and back to Baumgartner's youth in Newark and his Polish-born father's life as a dress-shop owner and failed revolutionary. Rich with compassion, wit, and Auster's keen eye for beauty in the smallest, most transient details of ordinary life, Baumgartner asks: Why do we remember certain moments, and forget others?"--

Choi's third book features poems about historical and impending apocalypses, alongside musings on our responsibilities to each other and visions for our collective survival.Many have called our time dystopian. But The World Keeps Ending, and the World Goes On reminds us that apocalypse has already come in myriad ways for marginalized peoples.With lyric and tonal dexterity, these poems spin backwards and forwards in time--from Korean comfort women during World War II, to the precipice of climate crisis, to children wandering a museum in the future. These poems explore narrative distances and queer linearity, investigating on microscopic scales before soaring towards the universal. As she wrestles with the daily griefs and distances of this apocalyptic world, Choi also imagines what togetherness--between Black and Asian and other marginalized communities, between living organisms, between children of calamity and conquest--could look like. Bringing together Choi's signature speculative imagination with even greater musicality than her previous work, The World Keeps Ending, and the World Goes On ultimately charts new paths toward hope in the aftermaths, and visions for our collective survival.

Traveling from the Peruvian Amazon to Beijing, from the Siberian tundra to Oaxacan villages, Ian Ramsey's Hackable Animal explores the metaphysical dimensions of being human amongst the disruptions of the 21st century. This profound collection reads like a scouting report from across the planet, where polar bears, reggaeton, and woolly mammoths collide with cloud computing and wildfires, where assumptions and alignments are turned upside down until we finally emerge, ready to "rummage a new credo." These fierce poems, grounded in ecology, deep time, and paleolithic heritage, lean into the "strafing ultimatums" of rapidly changing climate, globalization, and technology, asking how we might "chase beauty in the newsfeed of tragedy" and reimagine our relationship to the Earth.
