"Reading Michael [Dickman] is like stepping out of an overheated apartment building to be met, unexpectedly, by an exhilaratingly chill gust of wind."—The New Yorker"These are lithe, seemingly effortless poems, poems whose strange affective power remains even after several readings."—The Believer"My master plan is happiness," writes Michael Dickman in his wonderfully strange third book, Green Migraine. Here, imagination and reality swirl in the juxtaposition between beauty and violence in the natural world. Drawing inspiration from the verdant poetry of John Clare, Dickman uses hyper-real, dreamlike images to encapsulate, illustrate, and illuminate how we access internal and external landscapes. The result is nothing short of a fantastic, modern-day fairy tale. From «Where We Live»:I used to livein a mother now I livein a sunflowerBlinded by the silverwareBlinded by the refrigeratorI sit on a sidewalkin the sunflower and its yellowdownpour…Michael Dickman is the winner of the 2010 James Laughlin Award from the Academy of American Poets for his second collection, Flies. His poems are regularly published in the New Yorker. He was born and raised in Portland, Oregon, and teaches poetry at Princeton University.
Thunderbird
Miller has been a mentor to hundreds of poets through her years as a teacher at University of Arizona. The Boston Book Review compares Jane Miller’s “careening, associative” verse to the paintings of Jackson Pollock and Jasper Johns. All are inventive, energetic, and risky. Miller was originally a painter. She sees the processes of painting and writing as much the same, but she found herself unable to paint and write poetry at the same time, so she abandoned painting in favor of writing. W.S. Merwin calls her work “continuously suggestive, intimate, and beautiful.” Miller was influenced by Frederico García Lorca, Virginia Woolf, Gertrude Stein, and Adrienne Rich
Elegy Owed
The hardback of Elegy Owed is nominated for the 2014 National Book Critic's Circle Award! Winner announced in March 2014. Bob Hicok is considered one of the most prolific poets writing today, publishing hundreds of poems in a wide variety of magazines, including The New Yorker, Poetry, and The American Poetry Review Hicok has a dual appeal: He once owned his own automotive die design company, so has a real-world perspective and diction. Today he works in academia, though he has no academic degree. When Hicok was just beginning as a poet, he often read at slams and open mics in Ann Arbor, Michigan, as he preferred the “towny” scene of sub shops and bars to the world of the University of Michigan. Hicok's books are consistently well reviewed, including The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, and Boston Review

"Dean Young challenges the reader to hang on as he jigs from one poetic style to another and sets a wondrous course across a Duchampian landscape."— Chicago Tribune "In Young's work, the big essential questions—mortality, identity, the meaning of life—aren't simply food for thought; they're grounds for entertainment."— The Sunday Star (Toronto)Dean Young escorts his transplanted heart into invigorating poetic territory that combines the joy of being alive with his signature mixture of surrealism, humor, and fast-cut imagery. A Pulitzer finalist known for his hard-won insights, NPR said it best when they observed that Young sees «even in the smallest things the heights of what we can be.» From «Harvest»: Bring me the high heart of a trapezist.If not, bring me the heart of a drunk monkso I may illuminate an ancient textin a language I can't understand.The brain too is blood, blood racing100 miles an hour on training wheelsso let me splash through a red puddle,let me kiss the face of a red puddle,let me write my crazed, extreme demandson the frost-cracked window of god's splitchest… Dean Young is the author of twelve books of poetry, including finalists for the Pulitzer Prize and Griffin Award.

On the Spectrum of Possible Deaths
"Perillo's poetic persona is funny, tough, bold, smart, and righteous. A spellbinding storyteller and a poet who makes the demands of the form seem as natural as a handshake, she pulls readers into the beat and whirl of her slyly devastating descriptions."—Booklist "Whoever told you poetry isn't for everyone hasn't read Lucia Perillo. She writes accessible, often funny poems that border on the profane."—Time Out New York The poetry of Lucia Perillo is fierce, tragicomic, and contrarian, with subjects ranging from coyotes and Scotch broom to local elections and family history. Formally braided, Perillo gathers strands of the mythic and mundane, of media and daily life, as she faces the treachery of illness and draws readers into poems rich in image and story. When you spend many hours alone in a roomyou have more than the usual chances to disgust yourself—this is the problem of the body, not that it is mortalbut that it is mortifying. When we were young they taught usdo not touch it, but who can keep from touching it,from scratching off the juicy scab? Today I bita thick hangnail and thought of Schneebaum,who walked four days into the jungleand stayed for the kindness of the tribe—who would have thought that cannibals would be so tender? Lucia Perillo's Inseminating the Elephant (Copper Canyon Press, 2009) was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and received the Bobbitt award from the Library of Congress. She lives in Seattle, Washington.

Break the Glass
"As elliptical and demanding as Emily Dickinson, Valentine consistently rewards the reader."—Library Journal In her eleventh collection—honored as a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in poetry—Jean Valentine characteristically weds a moral imperative to imaginative and linguistic leaps and bounds. Whether writing elegies, meditations on aging, or an extended homage to Lucy, the earliest known hominid, the pared-down compactness of her tone and vision reveals a singular voice in American poetry. As Adrienne Rich has said of Valentine's work, «This is a poetry of the highest order, because it lets us into spaces and meanings we couldn't approach in any other way.» From «If a Person Visits Someone in a Dream, in Some Cultures the Dreamer Thanks Them»: At a hotel in another star. The rooms were cold anddamp, we were both at the desk at midnight asking ifthey had any heaters. They had one heater. You areill, please you take it. Thank you for visiting my dream. *Can you breathe all right?Break the glass shoutbreak the glass force the roombreak the thread Openthe music behind the glass . . . Jean Valentine, a former State Poet of New York, earned a National Book Award, the Wallace Stevens Award, and the Shelley Memorial Prize. She has taught at Sarah Lawrence, New York University, and Columbia University. She lives in the Morningside Heights neighborhood of New York City.
