The seventeenth book of verse from one of America's finest and most acclaimed contemporary poets--winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award.

Capturing his inimitable voice--provocative, amusing, understated, and riotous all at once--the poems in Dome of the Hidden Pavilion demonstrate James Tate at his finest. Innovative and fresh, they range in subject from a talking blob to a sobering reminiscence of a war and its aftereffects.

Though they are diverse in scope, a theme of dialogue and communication--and often miscommunication--links these poems....

A collection of language-driven, imaginative poetry from the winner of the 2015 National Poetry Series Open Competition.

Jennifer Kronovet's poetry is inflected by her fraught, ecstatic relationship with language--sentences, words, phonemes, punctuation--and how meaning is both gained and lost in the process of communicating. Having lived all over the world, both using her native tongue and finding it impossible to use, Kronovet approaches poems as tactile, foreign objects, as well as intimate, close utterances.

In The Wug Test, named for a method by which a linguist...

"Poetry is one of the oldest, most widespread and yet most secret means of renewal known to human culture. It is the most essential way of prizing single words and the immemorial heritage that is language. With poetry, science and magic are mixed; we put runes under a microscope. A poem is a fish that has swallowed a ring of many meanings, leaping from the belly of a lake to flash for an instant in the sun.

"In recent years, I have found myself drawn to the Japanese tanka form, and have developed my own version of it, in English, through practice rather than theory. I say 'my own...

A lavish edition of 94 ekphrastic haiku and senryu in Irish and English responding to full-colour collages by Karl Waldmann

Judgement Day is Gabriel Rosenstock's "latest reckoning of who and what we are between the shoals of eternal good and historical evil, vision and blindness. His lantern is a bright one and illuminates vast, evolving worlds of mind, matter and choice, within a cosmology where anything appears and proves to be possible. The dark rubble, tossed forms, and dissociation of Karl Waldmann's collage art, give to each of Rosenstock's poems a setting of tactile grit that...

In Snow Bones "Masaya Saito...has crafted a masterpiece which illuminates further possibilities for haiku in English, crosses and perhaps eliminates the threshold separating the genres of "haiku" and "modern poetry" as such. Always, I felt as though I were reading what has been left, those evaporating bones of lived experience, which Saito invites me to recreate in flesh." - Richard Gilbert, Kyoto Journal

Snow Bones consists of four narrative haiku sequences spoken by seven different voices. The first sequence begins in winter in the north of Japan and is...

These tanka build an adventure...

118 haiku in Scots by haiku master John McDonald with transcreations in Irish by Gabriel Rosenstock. Raw, real, disturbing and beautiful, these haiku are ..".an invitation to see more clearly, to hear more sharply, to feel more soulfully. If we have at all those eyes to see and those ears to hear they wake us up, not only to taste the language, but to hear the music of wonder. These verbal explosions echo in the chambers of wisdom." Alan Titley (Writer & scholar, Professor Emeritus of Modern Irish, UCC)
