Modern Life, by Matthea Harvey

Graywolf Press, November 2007
ISBN 978-155597-480-0
80 pages, Paper

Matthea Harvey's Modern Life introduces a new voice that tries to exist in the gray area between good and evil, love and hate. In the central abecedarian sequences, "The Future of Terror" and "The Terror of the Future," Harvey imagines citizens and soldiers at the end of their wits at the impending end of the world. Her prose pieces and lyrics examine the divided, halved self in poems about centaurs, ship figureheads, and a robot boy. Throughout, Harvey's signature wit and concision show us the double-sided nature of reality, of what we see and what we know.

"Matthea Harvey's vision of America is spooky, apocalyptic, and beautiful: proof that there is wonder in even a dark time like ours."--George Saunders

"Harvey continues to match her unique sensibility with subjects that matter; her poems are both empathic and delightful."--Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Dog Girl, by Heidi Lynn Staples

Or, if you're like us, then it's the long awaited Dog Girl, by Heidi Lynn Staples. We get more than a few free copies of books around here; Dog Girl is one of the few we tear out of the envelope in the post office lobby and read while standing by the junk mail bins for an hour. Heidi is genetically wired never to disappoint; Dog Girl is further proof.

Equivocal
by Julie Carr

TSky contributor Julie Carr's second book, Equivocal, explores the elements of chance and mystery that determine human identity and relationships. In delving into the human fascination with the self's story and the boundaries between the self and others (including family), these poems pose often unanswerable questions, but the reader delights in the wit and artistry used to explore them.

New from Palm Press

Syria is in the World, by Ara Shirinyan

"An investigative poetic excavation of nationalism and its many guises, Syria is in the World is a work thick with political history flung through the filter of poetic perspicacity and linguistic audacity. Smart, snappy, and incisive, this book is a joyride of re-appropriated language, an unflagging examination of flags, a procedurally constrained yet unfettered gambit. Ara Shirinyan presses us to question the mundane, often arbitrary borders that separate countries from each other and us from us." —Jules Boykoff
