This world is still the only one we have. V.C. Myers understands that humanity's confidence will be its downfall, but that doesn't stop the poems in this book from celebrating all the wonder we've yet to lose. In reverant elegy, these pages exalt a dying planet casting its last coins to the well."Myers' poems are timely in their depiction of Appalachia's environmental devastation, and she writes movingly about hard times, past and present, of the region's inhabitants, but she also shows us beauty too, not only in her evocations of nature but, even more impressively, in the beauty of her language."-Ron Rash, Poet and Author of 2009 PEN/Faulkner finalist and New York Times bestseller Serena and Above the Waterfall

"Steven Karl's I HRT the Cult Years critiques and embodies the cult leader at the center of the book who, in turn, critiques and embodies the American society that bred him. The overflowing and excessive ritual and repetition enacted throughout these poems build out a vision of what Svetlana Boym called "restorative nostalgia" - an alluring and fatal vision."-Dan Magers, author of Party Knife

"In Splash Fields, Joseph Cooper picks up where James Tate left off in such books as Memoir of the Hawk and The Government Lake. Like Tate, Cooper creates a memorable wacky ¿rst-person narrator, a ¿aneur of sorts, wandering an imaginary landscape peopled with odd unpredictable characters-a landscape where just about anything can happen. Splash Fields is satire at its best, all delivered in a deadpan voice with pitch perfect dialogue between his characters, so that you never question the reality of this Cooperesque world-one which I am beginning to think may be more sane and entertaining than the supposed real one we currently occupy."-Peter Johnson

Ingenious and original in its execution, Riverine is a collection of short shorts that is richly imagined and compelling. In twenty-five vibrant pieces, ¿ukasz Drobnik shows us a vision of ourselves that remains with us long after they are finished. Whether it is about what Neptunes could hold or the death of a pregnant sperm whale to an endless loop of life and simulations within a heart, the characters in these restrained spaces crackle with light and self-awareness, and about what makes life a murky and joyful ride.Tara Isabel Zambrano, author of Death, Desire, and Other Destinations

The selected writings of Milwaukee's favorite drafting prompt, as read every Thursday at Nessun Dorma by Freddy La Force and chosen by majority rule.

An experiment in morphology, an exploration of dimensions, Ridire Quinn's Sometimes a Screech Owl is a work of vision. The beauty is perhaps best summated in that of mirrors and opposites - aching, pointed, inquisitive though never questioning, as deeply experimental as it is visceral. This is a collection come from digging, from pulling humanity out of the rubble, effortlessly making then now and now then. Hiding poems within poems, Quinn creates a depth as beautiful and seemingly infinite as the history we travel while reading them.-Annie Grizzle

"This book is as good as one of my acting roles. I like my characters like I like my cannoli. Hard exterior but filled with sweet, soft, and sometimes nutty, insides." - the ghost of Gina Lollobrigida

It's a great time to discover, explore, and be an active part of Buffalo's dynamic waterfront. On, near, or under the water, child or adult, there's something for everyone to love.Our waterfront is now a destination full of excitement and has a palpable new energy that's positively a cause for celebration.This book captures our waterfront's storied past and it's spectacular transformation to where we are today. The best chapters have yet to be written.As a city and as a region, we are completely inseparable from our waterfront. It's an embarrassment of wealth that is our connection to our past, present, and future. We depend on this water for our power, recreation, industry, and agriculture.It has separated us in war, and it's what binds us in peace. And for good and for bad, it dictates our weather. It's our identity to the world, reflecting our radiant beauty.In short, our water is the glue that binds us together.This fluid connection, however, is only a magnificent illusion. The same water we gaze out upon today isn't the same water we'll see tomorrow. While seemingly abundant and permanent, our glue is constantly racing away at the staggering rate of 750,000 gallons per minute.We dedicate this book as a celebration of its journey.

The Poeta Project is a collaboration between Karen Eckert as the poet and 16 established visual artists
