"Charleen McClure's d-sorientation wanders the landscape of loss with a weathered eye and a clenched fist. Delving deep into personal hauntologies, McClure's speakers are dislocated-their observations and interrogations are quietly desperate as they navigate history, relationships, and dig for their roots. The lexicon of McClure's poetry is one of intimacy and outrage, one that challenges the reader to consider their own belonging. Through bold lyric poems that beat with brutality yet glow with softness, McClure's debut collection is a compass, pointing the reader towards reclamation. An insightful foreword by celebrated poet Aracelis Girmay provides a poignant welcome to readers"--

"Living in landscapes of ruin and ruination, memory and problematic nostalgia, Rebecca Lindenberg's Our Splendid Failure to Do the Impossible plumbs the depths of disruption, decay, and how we go on when the world stops cold. Inspired by the speaker's experiences of living with type 1 diabetes, the collection chronicles humanity's daily fight for survival in a world that's bent on destroying itself. Lindenberg centers love, self-acceptance, and intimacy as incomparable balms across great geographical and psychological distances, and asks the reader to do the impossible: hope"--

"Joseph Fasano's The Last Song of the World delves into the chaos of the modern world, and searches for resilience in the face of environmental and societal devastation. Dripping with images of ancient ruins and mythological figures, these poems serve as vignettes of fatherhood, love, and desire against the backdrop of apocalyptic events. Through the documentation of ongoing violence and natural phenomena, Fasano depicts the ever-present anxieties of parenting with concision and compassion. The Last Song of the World is a love letter to the world that could be, a world as tender as it is bold, as loving as it is brutal, as beautiful as it is horrendous"--

"Volcanic eruptions and waves collide in Yaccaira Salvatierra's explosive debut collection Sons of Salt, which explores the duality of personal and political landscapes as well as legacies of violence within Mexican-American communities. Sons of Salt poignantly captures the experiences of Mothers who battle for their sons' wellbeing, particularly when fathers are absent due to systemic oppressions. Salvatierra's verse breaks the bones of poetic form to bring attention to the failures of a Christian God who has categorically failed to protect His children, and gives birth instead to a god of nature. Weaving self-made mythology, mourning, and maternal fear into visual and narrative poems, Salvatierra creates a collection that probes the deepest hurt to ensure the holiest redemption"--

"Black history, cultural expression, and the natural world fuse in Janice N. Harrington's Yard Show to investigate how Black Americans have shaped a sense of belonging and place within the Midwestern United States. As seen through the documentation of objects found within yard shows, this collection of descriptive, lyrical, and experimental poems speaks to the Black American Imagination in all its multiplicity. Harrington's speaker is a chronicler of yesterdays, using the events of the past to center and advocate for a future that celebrates pleasure and self-fulfillment within Black communities"--
