A product of poetic bundling is meaning, and making your own meaning... For the fortunate ones, bundling can make a diagram of influence, a love line between writers that is more than a glossary of poetic affinities. Pound launched the ship of Modernism on gushes about customs of love and a trickle of redactions from Remy de Gourmont and Cavalcanti.

intimations of personal devastation, and eruptions of sacred memory, compose the cadence of the day, of any day in the world of these poems, its skies wavering with whatever's coming next. Mossin's spare, seemingly notational lines, always on the edge of revelation, can stop you cold, mid-page, in wonder.

With the blood of Borges in its wanderers' rivers, is a book with worlds of myth and magical realism hovering. It seeks beginnings, invokes the inner-driven walker, ravenous for words

Saints of the Republic is an exultant song of queer identity, of history, of the present, and of the body. These poems celebrate the carnal, the elemental, the sacred and the profound.

The notion of the notational-We find ourselves asking, what exactly is a note? As these voice notes suggest, it's a beginning-and here, an endless series of endless beginnings that we can almost hear singing.

As the great Brazilian writer, Clarice Lispector said, "Being alive is inhuman."

The Undying Guest shows Terrill at his most perceptive and connective, employing perfect blocks of text which seem to have been grafted from the nebulous atmosphere of thought, pressurized and framed on the page.

Most survivors of gun violence must bear the burden of uninvited fantasies of revenge. First against the perpetrator, then as the nightmare leaks into the waking world, against them - the cynical, morally deprived, depraved system that let it happen, that keeps letting it happen. Explored and "downloaded" by the author - himself a victim of American gun violence - a version of such a nightmare into Mooney's Manifesto.

Haunted by a terrible accident and adrift in love, Louise Nayer takes us on a captivating journey filled with danger and romance, through Morocco, New York City and finally on a solo journey to California, thousands of miles from her home. Set in the early 70's at a time of cataclysmic change in America, Narrow Escapes will resonate with all who need to release themselves from a difficult past as they search for joy and home.

Rebecca Goodman's Forgotten Night couldn't find a more laconic protagonist on a meandering quest, one that layers dream sequence with Medieval carnival and a necklace to offer protection with accidental artist-guides to the journey.

Priest/ess is part memoir, part anti-memoir, part somatic map, part queer rant, part aura correction, part cathartic scroll, part eco-erotics, part self-imposed violence...

Like Samuel Beckett, McGonigle observes what might be full is empty and what appears to be empty may, in fact, be full. In this collage of verbal snapshots (where remembering becomes forgetting and the attempt to forget becomes obsessive frustration), we wander through the byways of Bulgaria and America during the forty days via the Orthodox aerial toll booths until the soul is judged. Absurdity becomes sanity and vice versa.

A dazzling array of starshot across the sky from the brilliant Cris Mazza, who reminds us again and again that we must not only hold the line when it comes to our individual and community worth, but endlessly imagine a future. Cris Mazza makes feminism act like a verb, an ever-adapting organism, a space of change.
