Yes Thorn abides with mysteries--mortality, sexuality, divinity, and love. In poems acoustically sumptuous and with acrobatic syntax, Amy Munson fuses elegant lyricism with tougher, sterner qualities. Yes Thorn brings a new voice to American poetry, and its revelations are both earthy and exalting. Advance praise from Paisley Rekdal, final judge for the Berkshire Prize, Tupelo Press's First/Second Book Award: "Yes Thorn uses language in new and exciting ways. And I admire how this poet asks the critical questions: What connects us, to each other and to belief?...

The Man with the Ice Blue Eyes; Poems of Love and Heartache by Lisa G. Samia

Beautiful full color poetry with artistic photography to compliment this award winning collection.

So how then I caressed your face

The beauty of which felled from grace

And etched the sight of those ice blue eyes

The ones that haunt me and make me cry

And then see you ever so near

To kiss my lips with such care and dear

And left me wanting all the...

Cynthia Pelayo constructs a narrative in her poetry in response to the work of Jorge Luis Borges that examines the themes and subsequent consequences of insomnia, death, and blindness. There's a visionary quality to her work that dances along the line between the present world that we inhabit and the other world that lingers beyond the veil. Her poetry folds back this blanket of darkness, and shows readers the quiet violence and beauty that hides beneath waiting to be exposed, experienced, and encompassed.

Pelayo showcases this scream of silence through an urban and metaphysical...

From Good Stock Strange Blood

And, yet, each morning a fireheart grief in the body coming out of sleep. The listening to the smoke as if fills and weeps inside the chest, choking strength out hands weighted, dangling. We wonder where else it lives before it fills the body up. We assume it comes inside through the hole that promises invasion.

"A most valuable book about the joys and pains of wandering through a world both visible and invisible. Poems full of life and music, so tuned and flexible they can be read straight through as a dizzying world tour of the magic of myth and the wonders of the (post) modern. Patricia Keeney's playful, multi-layered poetry preserves the fire of the original and recasts and diffuses its beauties with full-blown elegance. Her "Orpheus" comes back as a globe-gazer, a time-singer, a human-singer."

A collection in five parts, Susan Howe's electrifying new book opens with a preface by the poet that lays out some of Debths' inspirations: the art of Paul Thek, the Isabella Stewart Gardner collection, and early American writings; and in it she also addresses memory's threads and galaxies, -the rule of remoteness, - and -the luminous story surrounding all things noumenal.-

Following the preface are four sections of poetry: -Titian Air Vent, - -Tom Tit Tot- (her newest collage poems), -Periscope, - and -Debths.- As always with Howe, Debths brings -a...

In Our Lady of the Orgasm, Nin Andrews continues her saga of the orgasm begun in her classic collection The Book of Orgasms. Meditating on the relationship between the human and the divine, the humdrum and the fantastic, the visible and the invisible, she imagines the orgasm as a divine being who dwells in our midst and who can, on special occasions, manifest as Our Lady of the Orgasm.

Poet Ana Lisa de Jong's book Seeking the Light is the third volume, in the Poetry for the Soul Series, accompanied by Hope Springs and Songs in the Night.

In Where The Time Goes Walden takes you on a road trip under skies flirting with transgression as she considers the yada, yada of romance, her mother's beginning Alzheimer's, the ghost of a dog digging up her bone. Things are ordinary until they aren't--antique post office boxes are time travel machines, Jack-in-the-Box fast food machines talk back to people, and the end-of-the-world weather blows simulacrum through prairies and deserts.
