“. . .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

Kelly Grace Thomas

"Future Tense is a thoughtful, beautiful meditation on the slow, aching, and sometimes miraculous state of intertwined grief—in a manner that is not only about sadness, but also, through its rich imagery and world-building, asks a reader to consider what they love, what they have, perhaps, taken for granted, and how to adjust the arc of their own universe."
—Hanif Abdurraqib, author of There’s Always This Year 

"Future Tense is memoir-in-verse gifting us ample permutations of longing. Kelly Grace Thomas charts the overlap (both temporal and metaphorical) of her mother’s death and trying for a child. True to the title, tension lights up this collection. In eclectic structures, whether careful tercets or sprawling fragments, Thomas ricochets between loss and desire until they blend. When it comes to the myriad expectations and stigmas placed on the infertile body, Thomas is willing to lay so much bare for us, unflinchingly charting desperation and the cost of wanting."

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."

Shara McCallum

"Shara McCallum’s Behold is the kind of book that first stunned me into the abiding love I have for language. At once mystical, political, and lyrical, these poems redraw the boundaries of what we might consider the limits of human insight. Poems like these remind us that, if there is ever to be a fully realized awakening in terms of our relationship to history, we need poetry."
—Tim Seibles, author of Voodoo Libretto: New & Selected Poems

“This skillful collection uncovers the intersection of art’s public and private dimensions.”
—Publishers Weekly

"[Behold] is a praise hymn to close attention, soulful contemplation, and, for the reader, a curated voyage of discovery."

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."
—Rebecca Foster, Shelf Awareness Starred Review

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."
