Paperback. Condición: Good. In Highwire Act & Other Tales of Survival, a collection of short fiction, characters struggle with Covid, ecological destruction, and grief as they attempt to find solace and restoration from a nature that is not always in a position to give back. A young couple raises crickets for food, a woman in a caged complex is witness to the deterioration of her neighbor, and an uncompromising ego takes on a Biblical rain. In these stories, the climate crisis arrives not just as strange and violent weather, but as upheavals in our political and emotional climates as well. And with science unable to keep up, fake suicides, fairy tales, and delusion are the thorny tools humans are left with to carry on, yet carry on they do.…

Paperback. Condición: Good. If you open Sahar Muradi' s [ G A T E S ] and follow each line into the entryways and departures, passed " convention centers and expos / and festivals that begin at sunset," you will witness the poet' s memories as tiny explosions of intimacies that devastate with their precision and candor. On images of Ferris wheels and " prayer on the side of the road," the poet " kneels and spreads [her] picnic" of wonder. Sahar Muradi makes sense of the fragments of memory, the broken buildings of Kabul, Mazar, and Panjsher, the innocence of childhood punctured by journey, a father' s illness, losing a language, and the politics of a war uninvited. Muradi beckons you, asks how you " authored poorer nations with the hope of freeing / others. The architects of what' s left." Indeed the political act of poetry in this fierce collection is a pained beauty that does not look away as it rebuilds the human starting with the heart.-- Rajiv Mohabir.…

Paperback. Condición: Good. Notes on the End of the World is a quiet apocalypse. You won't find explosions or sudden extinctions in Privitello's poems. Here, the days are marked instead by quiet disappearances, abandoned objects, details that might be otherwise overlooked. Objects double as warning signs: "The asbestos siding is a hologram in the leftover sun. / At once, it is a dollhouse made of bones." Animals speak in prophetic visionsThese poems hold a microscope to life's mundane details, but they are also poems of agency-- when the apocalypse comes, what use is a "good life?" Privitello asks us to be honest, unflinching. With each passing day, Notes on the End of the World gets louder and quieter, lonelier and lovelier. The end of the world does not look so different from an ordinary day, so pay attention. In the end, Privitello's poems leave room for regret and the hope of redemption-- but not much.…

Paperback. Condición: Good. In No Small Comfort we find America' s interiors and exteriors, the homes and landscapes messy, chaotic in a way that any of us might recognize. And yet these scenes are imbued with a kind of peaceful acceptance, as well, even as the ground drops out from beneath our feet in these lines and " fog / becomes an essay / on gravity and fate / whose claims won' t hold up." Some poems we go to for comfort, others to be shaken awake. In Simoneau' s new book of quiet lyrics, we find the kind that mark the minutes we hold our breath waiting for the other shoe to drop. " Semblance, similitude, synchronicity: / everything comes together until what / happens is nothing special, nothing new." That' s certainly not true here, where Simoneau does what every good poet knows in their bones-- he' s made us see it new.-- Keetje Kuipers.…

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Fiction. Named one of Kirkus Reviews' Best Fiction Books of 2014. Each of the characters in SCOUTING FOR THE REAPER faces an unanticipated challenge: transporting a truckload of penguins across the country, arranging a proper Jewish burial for the remains of Gregor Samsa, and selling tombstones dressed as a Girl Scout. These stories explore the domestic and professional adventures of people in over their heads, while leavening their struggles with humor. Jacob Appel's stories echo with secrets. There are the secrets we keep from those closest to us, of course. Our parents, our doctors, our clergy, our ex-wives and unrequited loves. Any run of the mill story has those. Good stories traffic in the kind of secrets we keep from ourselves. Why, for instance, what and who we love are so close in content and character to what we can't abide. Appel's that kind of trafficker. Even better, throughout this fine collection, he is most concerned with still another kind of secret: that which, when revealed, doesn't solve anything. Like the very best stories, they carry the mystery forward. Revelation, in the end, isn't an end at all. It's a beginning. SCOUTING FOR THE REAPER is full of such revelations. Here's hoping it signals the beginning of a long string of books penned by this talented polymath.--TJ Beitelman.…
