Boss Fight Books

ShadowOfTheColShadow of the Colossus by Nick Suttner
194 pages – Boss Fight Books

A massive, open world, brimming with mystery. A gauntlet of giants to overcome, living levels that must be destroyed… but to what end? Since its 2005 release, Fumito Ueda’s minimal-yet-epic masterpiece, Shadow of the Colossus, has often been hailed as one of the greatest video games of all time. But why is Shadow still utterly unique over a decade later? Nick Suttner examines this question and others while journeying across Shadow’s expanses—stopping along the way to speak to developers about the game’s influence, examine the culture around its unfinished mysteries, and investigate the game’s colossal impact on his own beliefs about games, art, and life.      –from the Boss Fight Books website

144 pages – Dalkey Archive/Amazon

Subtitled “An Exploration of the Musico-Erotic,” this novel is an experiment in blurring the boundaries between the syntax of music and that of poetry. The sentences in question are elliptical, resembling a musical score, and tell the story of a violinist embarking upon a potentially dangerous affair with an admirer and fellow musician as their spouses, audiences, teachers, friends, and colleagues listen and wonder.      –from the Dalkey Archive website

Reverend Maloney isn’t the world’s greatest spiritual advisor. He drinks gin out of his coffee cup and has sex dreams about the Holy Ghost. His best friend Eli isn’t perfect either, but he’s a chess genius, which has to count for something. So Maloney decides that they should hit the road: Eli can win major chess tournament after chess tournament; Maloney can pocket Eli’s winnings while getting away from, well, certain situations. Thus begins a grand adventure story, with the Reverend and Eli racing out of the South, pursued by Eli’s girlfriend and a blind head-hunter named, naturally, Jack Cataract, toward New York City–sin city, chess heaven, and a location with a blessed amount of places to . . . hide.      –from the Melville House website

New Directions

The Quarry by Susan Howe
224 pages – New Directions/Amazon

TheBirthMarkThe Birth-mark by Susan Howe
208 pages – New Directions/Amazon

Susan Howe reads our intellectual inheritance as a series of civil wars, where each text is a series of battlefields on which a strange lawless author confronts interpreters and editors eager for settlement. Howe approaches Anne Hutchinson, Mary Rowlandson, Cotton Mather, Hawthorne, Emerson, Melville, and Emily Dickinson—as a poet-scholar. Her insights, fierce and original, are rooted in her seminal textural scholarship in examining the editorial histories of landmark works. In the process, Howe uproots settled institutionalized roles of men and women as well as of poetry and prose. The Birth-mark, first published in the mid-1990s and now published in tandem with her new selected essays, The Quarry, joins the New Directions canon of a dozen Susan Howe titles.      –from the New Directions website

452 pages – OR Books/Amazon


 Publishing Genius

Nobody-Dancing-CoverNobody Dancing by Cheryl Quimba
78 pages – Publishing Genuis/Amazon

“…Nobody Dancing is a language world of gorgeous sound and perception. These are poems of intimacy and estrangement, lyric tenderness. Yes, the world is ending and beginning all at once: each line an aubade to one moment, an elegy to another, beautiful lines crafted like flaming phoenixes decaying and renewing, decaying and renewing. Cheryl Quimba is a wise poet, reporting back on the glorious oddball beauty of being alive.”      –Kaia Sand


Queen’s Ferry Press

Camouflage Country by Ryan Ridge and Mel Bosworth
Queen’s Ferry Press


The Song Cave

MM by Hannah Brooks-Motl
96 pages – The Song Cave/SPD

Swinging between examination and revelation, Hannah Brooks-Motl’s second collection of poems, M, holds a unique place in contemporary poetry, written almost as a document to chart the act of a writer reading. By transposing lines directly from the essays of Michel de Montaigne with her own, she creates a shimmering mirage that enables two distinct voices to blend with confidence and to question the steps we take to make sense of the world. That degree of ambition requires great care and thoroughness, the ability to see the past clearly in order to invent a skillfully considered and electric present.      –from the Song Cave website

CentaurGiantAim at the Centaur Stealing Your Wife by Jennifer Nelson
88 pages – Ugly Duckling/SPD

In the United States and Europe in the early twenty-first century, a person of mixed ethnicity finds herself questing inside old European art and ideas. Terrible as these things often are, she enjoys recalibrating them, and she is optimistic.      –from the Ugly Duckling Presse website
