Predators Welcome is a book of poems written by one sibling in search of another. Eager to recover some shared mythology with the rest of the world, the speaker of these poems calls for a witness-any witness-to confirm that the frightening cosmologies of childhood were more than just isolated daydreams. Challenging, broadening, and redefining our understanding of predatory animals-and, yes, that means us-this book lays bare both personal and societal cycles of violence and neglect, suggesting their intergenerational reenactment is one way we paradoxically prove ourselves to be a single human family, "raised by the same wolves," with ancestors whose stories must not only be told, but lived and relived. Trapped in such a paradoxical circumstance, the human-as-predator is most dangerous, and yet, most connected to and emboldened by history. In this way, these poems urge us to find commonality not merely in past atrocities, but in a present and future rebellion from historical precedent itself.

The Dead Animal Handbook is a field guide to contemporary American poetry. Collecting and compiling emerging and established writers from a range of backgrounds, this Handbook charts one of poetry's most used tropes in order to bring the dead animal back to life. We're eager and we're earnest.

Often Go Awry is a collection of poems upturned. The book works its way from the center outward, while the poems themselves examine the meaning of unraveling. The styles vary greatly, but all of the pieces in this collection insist upon attacking determinism in one form or another. This is the fourth book of poetry from author Brian S. Ellis, but it is his first collection of poems written in his present voice. While he continues with the same obsessions that have pervaded all of his work, this is more fully in the now than he has ever been. "I'll meet you there. / Where everything is, / we will be."

Nothing to Do with Me is messy because survival is messy, and that is what this collection is: a study of fight and flight. Each poem brawls and bellows, screams and scrams, claws and clashes, struggles and ultimately survives to tell its tale. Every word is a willful act of existence. Sarah Xerta has done more than write a book; she has created a weapon in the war against the unspoken. It is not autobiographical but bio, graphic, auto ... exposures of the self as it moves through life, without filters or facades. Xerta engages us in bloody, beautiful combat and challenges us to live uncensored.

Turn your passions into walls and live inside them until they grow old and collapse and crush you. It's the only way to live and it's the only way to die. This collection picks up where someday i'm going to marry Katy Perry left off. Off-center, quirky and endearingly puerile, this heteroclite collection of prose is full of twisted metaphors and turned similes, and author Calvero plods indefatigably across the pages as a most unlikely hero. Calvero is Everyman's champion. He struggles with Everyman's problems, he suffers Everyman's insecurities, he endures Everyman's heartache. He holds nothing back. No posturing, no pretense, just honest individuality. His absence of guile and complete dismissal of social graces are a welcome deviation from convention. The author's playful humor is explicit; the implicit depth will take you by surprise. You come away from his work a little wiser, a little happier, a little more empathetic, but you're not exactly sure why. i want love so great it makes Nicholas Sparks cream in his pants is a wonderfully bizarre glimpse into the remarkably unremarkable. The work is rich, raw and vastly rewarding.

Conventional wisdom holds that art and science are mutually exclusive. Leah Noble Davidson disagrees. Consider the laboratory of the human endeavor: The absolute magnitude of love. The combustion of passion. The gravity of pain. Davidson guides us through the physics of us and introduces a breakthrough theory: Poetry in motion. Poetic Scientifica is at once urgent and gorgeous and brutal. Davidson catalyzes cognitive and behavioral psychology, visual culture, and linguistics to remind us that science, like life, is a sequence of experiences that result in deeper understanding of our own stories. Call it a book; Davidson wrote an experiment.
