Hardback. Condition: Good. National Book Award finalist A vital, exhilarating new collection of poems from the National Book Critics Circle nominee From lichens to malls to merchant republics, it's "another day in this here cosmos," in Maureen N. McLane's stunning third poetry collection, This Blue. Here are songs for and of a new century, poems both archaic and wholly now. In the middle of life, stationed in our common "Terran Life," the poet conjures urban pigeons, Adirondack mountains, Genoa, Andalucía, Belfast, Parma; here is a world sounded out, broken, possibly shareable, newly named: "Take it up Old Adam- / everyday the world exists / to be named." This Blue is a searching and a singing-intricate, sexy, smart. …

Paperback. Condition: Good. Based on sources as diverse as Heian period female Japanese writers and the world of science fiction, and drawing on her own experience as a second-generation Japanese American, acclaimed poet Lee Ann Roripaugh's fourth collection explores a series of "word betrayals"--English words misunderstood in transmission from her Japanese mother that came to take on symbolic ramifications in her early years. Co-opting and repurposing the language of knowledge and of misunderstanding, and dialoguing in original ways with notions of diaspora and hybrid identities, these poems demonstrate the many ways we attempt to be understood, culminating in an experience of aural awe. At once wonderfully lyrical and strikingly acute, Dandarians will further establish Lee Ann Roripaugh as one of the most important and original voices in contemporary Asian American literature.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. Long, Dan (illustrator).

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. In their collaborative poetry, Dustin Junkert and Shane Moritz drag the compositional practice of Exquisite Corpse kicking and screaming into the 21st century; they finish each other's sentences with often preposterous élan. Their subjects are projectiles of varying gravity launched at a Ouija board planchette; the scenarios they unfold describe a universe of pop-culture misunderstandings. Somewhere at the intersection of David Berman, Anne Sexton, Robert Pinsky, and Stephen Malkmuslies the lyrebird glory of these poems, their impact amplified by David Nichols's original drawings, whose air of tender perplexity provides a perfect emotional accompaniment. Moritz and Junkert met in 2013 while in graduate school at Georgia College and State University, where they fell into the habit of writing over each other's stories and poems as they passed the time in one of the town's few bars. At first it was an If I were writing it, I'd probably say this  .&thinsp.  type of thing, handwritten changes to printed drafts smudged with tzatziki. Although they owed allegiance to different literary schools, they tended to agree on the best punch lines, and wound up accepting each other's mocking overwrites often enough that they started to work together this way intentionally. It was amusing for each of them to hand over a draft and see what the other brought to it, until each piece eventually morphed into something for which neither wassolely responsible. The final product became known as a shanedunk and the process as dunking-both terms coined by their poetry professor, Laura Newbern, whose influence rages here. Our heroes later moved to different cities, but the dunking continued whenever they met up, in Boston, Philadelphia, Portland, Baltimore. As soon as they saw the illustrations David Nichols proposed for their poems, the authors were convinced that The Book of Treasures would not be complete without them; the melancholy vision expressed in his artwork draws out the tenderness underlying even their most unhinged scenarios. Nichols, David (illustrator).…
