"Budbill is the perfect antidote for those who find contemporary poetry distanced and obscure."--American Libraries

Armored Hearts, combining new poems and a selection from previous volumes, offers the power of idiomatic narrative at its naked best. "It is refreshing to read a poet who is not obliquely vague, who tells a story cleanly and convincingly, and yet who will not close down mysterious and complicated things about life that simply defy such closure."--Atlanta Journal-Constitution

A fast-paced debut that draws upon reservation folklore, pop culture, fractured gospels, and her brother’s addiction to methamphetamine

Delightfully universal, Raft by Pulitzer Prize-winner Ted Kooser travels the Midwest landscape, attuned to life’s shared experiences and emotions—illness, aging, beauty, and love.Raft is our fourth collection of poetry from Pulitzer Prize-winner and former U.S. Poet Laureate, Ted Kooser. Open in his desire to write for the everyday reader, these poems maintain the open-handed and accessible style that thousands have come to love. Yet, deeply imagistic and metaphorically rich, Raft shows us that even the simplest of objects, the simplest of actions, can become a portal. A boy feeding a goldfish becomes a meditation on loneliness. Scraps of gauze open the door to a study on happiness. Both local and delightfully universal, Raft travels the Midwest landscape, attuned to the shared experiences and emotions of life—illness and aging, beauty and love. Some poems, nostalgia-wrapped, cradle elegies for lost family and friends. Adrift on life rafts of language, this book is a lesson in intentional observation, a celebration of the small, quiet wonders of life.

This sweeping assessment of Machado's work confirms his place as one of the twentieth century's great poets.

**Winner of the 2024 National Book Foundation Science + Literature Award**An affordable paperback edition of Arthur Sze's Collected Works—which includes many new poems—by one of the most astonishing poets writing today.The Glass Constellation is a triumph spanning five decades, including ten poetry collections and twenty-six new poems, from National Book Award winner Arthur Sze. Sze began his career writing compressed, lyrical poems influenced by classical Chinese poetry; he later made a leap into powerful polysemous sequences, honing a distinct stylistic signature that harnesses luminous particulars, and is sharply focused, emotionally resonant, and structurally complex. Fusing elements of Chinese, Japanese, Native American, and various Western experimental traditions―employing startling juxtapositions that are always on target, deeply informed by concern for our endangered planet and troubled species―Sze presents experience in all its multiplicities, in singular book after book. This collection is an invitation to immerse in a visionary body of work, mapping the evolution of one of our finest American poets.

"Gerber has a gentle touch and an unaffected, articulate voice that can be smart, funny, wise-sometimes all at the same time."-Library Journal"[Gerber] is one of the most adept and accessible of the poets who explore the meaning of humans' relation with earth and existence itself."-ForeWordInto a frenzied world that hurtles ever faster somewhere, Dan Gerber's poetry offers a necessary and reflective presence. Drawing upon eight previous collections, and including a book-length selection of new poems, this retrospective tunes its senses to the natural world and a provenance that includes the influence of Buddhism, English Romanticism, and a deep reading of Rainer Maria Rilke's oeuvre. Pastoral and expansive, Gerber's poetry is concerned with the universe just outside each of our windows-the immediately viewable landscape in front of us and the mysterious vastness beyond.From "Dark Matter":The visible drapes itself around the invisible,the way my jacket takes its shape from my shoulders.An unseen gravity whirlsnear the center of our galaxy,an unseen heart near the centerof the bodies in which we desire.I seldom think of Neptune out there, way beyondmy pointing to it on a summer night . . .Dan Gerber is the author of eight collections of poetry, three novels, a book of short stories, and two books of nonfiction. A former professional race-car driver, he has traveled extensively as a journalist, particularly in Africa. He lives in Santa Ynez, California.

Lima :: Limón traces machismo, womanhood, and culture across borders, raising questions to the gods while finding answers within the flesh.

"These poems are full of ideas zipping by, ricocheting off each other, and fueled by a desire to know, to understand. The speaker wants out. Her sentences and lines search for an Archimedean point beyond the inadequate accounts of the world she¿s inherited. The speaker wants in. Deeper in. To the heart of the matter. I have no idea if the author of these poems consciously invented their speaker, or if the poems are actually the confessions of a psyche completely exposed to something like the creative unconscious. The subject of the majority of these poems is synchronous experience, otherwise known as acausal ordered-ness, which would account for their fidelity to their moment of composition and their drive not toward non-meaning, but meanings beyond the precincts of mentality and its calculations." ¿from the Introduction by Li-Young Lee
