“. . .the kind of union of passion and wit that we have been looking for ever since the metaphysicals turned to John Dryden. . . The best lines are white-hot and there is a priceless honesty.” —John Updike

Aldo Amparán

"The beautiful strangeness of language and the sobering strangeness of life are braided into lyrical brilliance in Aldo Amparán’s second book. Here, what haunts the speaker and the language itself is so startling, so deftly stapled down, I often found myself spellbound. Here, queerness and borders are sites of refusals and consolations. These poems are undeniable and exquisite."
—Eduardo Corral, author of Guillotine

"'Men instilled in me /an empty. I’ve grown up/ without a body // of my own.' The traumas and vital reclamations of 'Self-Portrait of the Stolen Body' come midway in Amparán’s visceral second collection and its poems full of hauntings, of trauma reflected from the opening loose crown of sonnets filled with closets and candlelit rooms and wounded and severed bodies. ... Amparán depicts the brutalities of the world unmitigated by art."

Nick Martino

The 2024 Alice James Award Editor’s Choice

"Martino’s debut collection lounges on Lake Michigan beaches, looks out on Milwaukee’s skyline, and provides readers with myriad ways to enjoy these poems. ... Scrap Book asks what we inherit from our parents, what lies behind a broken relationship, and the meaning of conviction and the handcuff 'chaining us to memory.'"
—Abby McCabe, Booklist Starred Review

"Nick Martino's formally inventive debut poetry collection draws on his mother's journals and 1980s Polaroids to capture a family dynamic overshadowed by divorce and incarceration."

Mihaela Moscaliuc

"Guggenheim fellow Moscaliuc presents lucid, lithe, and gripping poems about growing up in a Romania besieged by dictatorial tyrannies, intrusive and crushing....The need for secrecy, the valor of helping others, the malignancy of informers, and systemic corruption are all addressed with chilling matter-of-factness. Moscaliuc’s lyrical and sensuous palimpsest poems of her life in the U.S. evoke a world in sharp contrast even as the past is hauntingly present."

Ina Cariño

"Ina Cariño's Reverse Requiem addresses the ghosts of history, which through language and tender attention, Cariño exhumes and brings to aliveness with sumptuous naming. Working against silence and power and deeply imbued with liberatory politics, the poems are an ode to self, lineage, and love. This work is a triumph."
—Cathy Linh Che, author of Becoming Ghost, Split, and An Asian American A to Z: A Children’s Guide to Our History

"In their second full-length collection, Whiting Award–winner Cariño bends time. Challenging the theory that entropy can only increase, these poems pull ancestors and ghosts known and hidden to the fore, evoking a shared timeline that bends in many directions ... A slim collection that feels much heftier than its page count, this is a luminous work."
