The Deviants by Jack Boettcher { N E W }
"If James Tate were to somehow mate with the remnants of a demolition derby, The Deviants would
eat its baby. Jack Boettcher is a craftsman and reading these poems is like walking into his shoppe
and running your fingers over all the sharpened surfaces. Each poem contains a tight suture of wit
and brutally evasive humor. The Deviants will read, and re-read and re-re-read until it all just disappears
and you, the reader are left "a decommissioned weapon / holding up a lily / in a ceasefire no one respects."

Hank Williams by Peter Berghoef
"What does Hank represent? Beats me. Seems more like a drunken retelling of a lost weekend, composed
over a honky tonk piano, written by Cormac Mccarthy's Llewelyn Moss. Somewhere in this poem is a pick-up
chase and a case of spilled beer over by a pond-side campfire. This is why I love Berghoef's writing."

When I Moved To Nevada by James Iredell
""When I Moved to Nevada" is filled with snow, drugs, stars, bars and music. It made me think (though it's
very different) of Jon Leon's "Hit Wave" but, really, this book is very and wonderfully Denis Johnson. Good
Denis Johnson. If you're a fan of Jesus' Son then Jamie's chapbook is definitely for you." -- Rauan Klassnik

I Am In The Air Right Now by Kathryn Regina
"An unfeigned sky-ride that specks down flints of candor from the thinned air. I Am In The Air Right Now
is the story of a floatist who, while riding alone in a hot-air balloon, finds she is able to re-imagine the
pieces of the world from which she has fled. Soon the balloon's basket is crowded with the likes of boys
named Pedro, a horse, flat tires, and bears. An utterly original story from a rising voice in the field."

Help! by Adam Fieled
"Adam Fieled's Help! is writ with the din that blows eastward from Alleghany range to the eavesdropper's ear
in Philadelphia. Inspired by the classic Beatles album, Help! could be the pouring of a soul into a very small cup,
or the a bunch of little souls spilling from the cup onto the floor. His poems talk to You directly. They welcome
you into their kitchen. They help you with your coat and build a fire. They feed you and then they leave you."
chapbook | $4.00 ppd

Borrowed House by Brooklyn Copeland
"Welcome to Borrowed House - a collection of poems antsy enough to have been written one hundred years ago,
and only now sprung from the dusty congressional archives. They will embrace you like a panther unto its prey.
And amidst the embrace they will roll their eyes at the growing piles of strangers because a hotel is nothing
more than a borrowed house."

Naturalistless by Christopher Rizzo
"A few years back my wife and I were hanging with Chris Rizzo at this bar called Charlie's Kitchen over in Harvard
Square. After a few beers he pushed over this packet of poems called "Spare Parts" and says "let me know what
you think." I remember going home and reading it and saying "i wish i could write this good." I didn't write a poem
for five months. "Naturalistless" is the ultimate compendium of his spare parts. These poems are whole sentences
chopped down to two words, joined. It is both a refreshing poetic statement and a future bookshelf mainstay. Also, Christopher Rizzo is the man behind the unparalleled Anchorite Press."

and a Jack Boettcher quote. Printed on high quality linen paper with color inserts.

At The Pulse by Laura Carter
"Like a conversation between two dinner guests - one in the bustling din of a dining room, the other across town in the burgundy dust of a soup kitchen open at the crack of dawn. These collection of poetic pulses interpret the grind and the ornate and the fierceness and the irreversible gait of life's intoxication through a sheer veneer of waggish curiosity. At The Pulse is astonishingly brilliant. "

Stands As Mediation by Thomas Hummel
"A cyclical translation of Gertrude Stein's Stanzas In Meditation, Thomas Hummel, through his mad experiments, had
produced ten poems that refuse to pay rent. They squat in the abandoned factories and the houses of its workers and
stand in front of the windows with the lights on. And though you're not quite sure if they're laughing at or with you,
the fact they are laughing is reason enough to befriend them. Roll over Gertrude and wake her up."

The Pond by Zachary Schomburg
"We've all lived near a pond at some point. We've all stuck a finger in its surface and wondered what the hell was under
there. Perhaps after an accident the pond gets drained and gaggles of neighborhood kids then find their bikes and balls
and other bits of tossed ephemera. The Pond is like a catalog of all that: of yesterdays both dreamt and recollected
with clarity."
