The powerful poems of James Deitz's Still Seeing a Dead Soldier evoke a sense of loss, and of praise: for those lost, for how they lived, for how they are remembered, for how we carry on.

Breaking from the waves, bursting into light: these are the lyrical and narrative arcs of Kika Dorsey's collection.

The classic story of a scholar and student is brought to exquisite life in Ann Taylor's deft poems. "Ann Taylor reimagines the famous story of the medieval scholar and his student-turned-lover with a series of exquisitely-drawn dramatic monologues that illuminate the complex relationship with a fresh and probing focus." Tom Daley ............................ "Through thoughtful, well-phrased lines, we meet the star-crossed lovers and the struggle of their passion amidst the constraints of their circumstances. You do not have to be familiar with the story of their romance to enjoy these poems." Meredith Allard ............................... "The passionate love between the scholastic theologian and his brilliant student has inspired writers for over nine hundred years and is again reimagined by Ann Taylor in her new book of poems. She breathes new life into their tragic story, making it compelling reading for us in the 21st century." Barbara Dordi

INSIDE ME AN ISLAND is a collection of the sediment of displacement, re-placement, and imagined arrival.

In this collection, each moment unfolds into infinite uncertainty and possibility, never final, never fixed.

This collection, by Michael Skau, is a series of poems reflecting specific attitudes toward poets and poetry (by extension, toward Art and Life), ranging from conventional adherence to structure, rhyme, meter, and theme to enthusiastic embrace of experimental techniques and topics. The poems embody different voices and approaches and vary in their form from traditional modes to rebellious non-conformity.

Donovan Hufnagle uses nonliterary documents such as journals, letters, and newspaper articles to interrupt and "negotiate" with his original verse. The poetic narrative follows a traveling eighteen-year-old in the summer of 1920 from Fort Worth to Los Angeles.

ANIMAL VIRTUE is Nathanael Tagg's first book, a poetry collection about the challenge of living well, especially in times of personal, political, existential, and environmental trouble.

In Anne Harding Woodworth's THE EYES HAVE IT, all eyes are on the things of the world, viewed, embraced, celebrated with an aye.

This collection is a gentle call in a difficult time. The "other," as it is rooted in our own perceptions and actions, needs attention more urgently than ever before. The "other" fuels transgressions and healing, the way nature sustains and opens our hearts, and the way we journey to our own human destiny. Ultimately, we are our own "other" until we find and create harmony in our world.

The 13,000-acre Charles C. Deam Wilderness Area, named after Indiana's first state forester, is the state's only federally designated wilderness area. Since its inception in 1982, nothing with wheels is allowed in the wilderness. Principles of ecology and natural succession manage the wilderness. This collection engages the life and history of this wilderness region.

This collection by Jeff Bernstein places dappled flashes of vision against the darkness of the universe, small glimmers that hint at the grandeur of the whole.

"Narrative poetry, right up my alley!" says Chuck Joy, selecting poems for PERCUSSIVE, this collection, poems sourced from a recent sequence of his on-going poem flow.

A walk through life, with attention to minute details, marks this lovely collection by Karen Mandell. Each day is a new walk with these poems, careful and deliberate.

Drawing from a deep well of autobiographical and cross-cultural experience, EVERYWHERE I FIND MYSELF is a wide-ranging narrative journey of the heart.

Searching for the forms that best fit our lives, LIFTING THE TURTLE explores the idea of community, how we might find it-in places, people and poetry-but also how it can damage and ostracize. In verse humane and honed, J.D. Scrimgeour balances the tension between our sense of being the outsider looking in and our desire for connection.

The hard truth of Jason McCall's TWO-FACE GOD is this: there is no space in this world without duality, without the glossy surface and the hidden darkness, that always pushes through and must be reckoned with. From love, to history, to memory, to race, these poems probe this duality.

The abundant world is rendered tenderly in Mark McCaig's poems, the body's challenges met directly by the body's spirit.

DRINKING WITH THE SECOND SHIFT by Robert Collins is a collection of poetry that chronicles the coming of age of a white, suburban, middle-class youth working his "first real job" in an industrial bakery during summers to pay his way through college.

THIS IS FOR THE MOSTLESS, writer and performer Jason Magabo Perez's debut book, is a lyrical collection of autobiographical poems, essays, fictions, and oral histories. Moving against discipline and genre, from city to city, barrio to barrio, these stories and sympathies are filled with familia and trauma, and cast with wildly divergent figures as iconic as Don Cheadle and Mandy Moore, and as obscure as Cobra Commander and Perez's own mother-a Filipina migrant nurse who in 1976 was framed by the FBI for murder. Ultimately, Perez celebrates and mourns the multiple migrations and afterlives of grandmothers, gangsters, girlfriends, superheroes, and poets. This book is about and most definitely for all of the mostless.

CAUGHT LOOKING by Charles Sean Carroll is a chapbook volume of both narrative and lyrical poetry that offers a broad view of the human condition through the lens of our national pastime. The work is divided into three sections correspondent to the seasons in which the game of baseball is played-spring, summer, and fall; the poems themselves represent a gradual shift from early themes of innocence and nostalgia to the more realistic-and often disillusioning-facets of experience.

John Bradley's EROTICA ATOMICA is a theater of the absurd, and the macbre: the worst weapons of the twentieth century examined in painstaking, mad detail, becoming surreal objects of our own folly.

Line by etched line, the poems of this collection speak intimate words of our shared experience with the world, our deep intertwinings.

AFTER THE BOMB is a series of syllabic poems envisioning a post-apocalyptic world where the survivors struggle for a meager existence and for moral and ethical sanity in a necessarily brutal, violent, and inhospitable environment. The narrator and his fellow sufferers gradually develop a vulnerable sense of community and tentatively grow toward a qualified humanism, with which they cannot always feel comfortable.

Voyeur by Jodi Hottel is the result of an ongoing interest in ekphrastic poetry related not just to visual art but many artistic forms, including literature and film. When a work of art creates heightened emotion, she responds with poems as varied in style as the works of art themselves.

Andrea Fry's poetry collection, THE BOTTLE DIGGERS, is in the tradition of Joyce an assembly of voices, a cast of characters who tell stories. Sometimes these characters give their own testimony; sometimes they share someone else's story. Some poems recount simple moments; others tell longer tales. But for all of the variations, the storytelling is akin to a psychological or emotional digging, a cerebral parallel to the hunt for antique bottles described in the collection's titular poem. For the bottle diggers, to unearth even a fragment of a bottle is to salvage a story. An old dump ground then becomes a treasure trove of past voices that the diggers are compelled to discover. The bottle diggers have a shared trust that something of value is hidden there, that the voices that echo from the shards they encounter could easily be their own.
