Wild Cards by Basil King

.:"The wild cards enter dressed for dinner. Manners, propriety,
the heavy red velvet and dark wooden rooms. The French
doors take Winslow Homer (1836-1910) and Thomas Eakins
(1844-1916) into the garden. There, Homer and Eakins

Astrometry Organon by Mark Lamoureux

Light House by Brian Lucas

        .:Lucas’s first book is also the document of an exilic voice,
        original in its wandering, a book composed of spectral floating
                   figures, of coils, knots, and spirals, a book of arabesque (that
                   perfect synthesis of irony and enthusiasm), whose language is
                   limitlessly defined as “an intentional science of ecstasy beyond
                   decay.” Peruse, then, these leaves of Hypnos at the risk of understanding!

No Wrong Notes by Norman Weinstein

.:The years spent listening to and writing about jazz and Afro-Caribbean
music have led to an awareness of the value of that music, and of poetry
in alignment with it. The Cuban musicologist Fernando Ortiz wrote: “It isn’t
a music of ‘entertainment’ at the edge of daily life; it is a precise aesthetic
version of all of Life in its transcendental moments.”

Transparencies Lifted From Noon by Chris Glomski

.:While the poems in Transparencies Lifted from Noon are written in a
predominately lyric mode, they are actively engaged in pushing loose
narrative threads up against an almost gestural linguistic framework,
one that seeks to radicalize both lyric and narrative alike.

Burial Ship by Nikki Stiller

Part of the Design by Laura Wright

.:The more burning interests are the problems of place and time.
Place has to do with "where am I?" but also with the arrangement
of the words where, am, and I. Who determined this arrangement
in the first place? Rain Taxi
