Bellevue Literary Press

A Fugitive in Walden Woods by Norman Lock
240 pages – Bellevue Literary Press/Amazon


Birds, LLC

Joy of Missing Out by Ana Božičević
94 pages – Birds, LLC/SPD

Joy Of Missing Out is starlite verse on death and independence for the dreamers, dropouts, rebels and the neuroatypical. A confession and sublimation of breakdowns personal and systemic, JOMO paints a playful and unflinching portrait of the ups and downs of city survival and queer romance. Simultaneously it deploys online slang and high lyrical registers, morphs the sad girl into Baba Yaga, drops truth bombs on art and politics, and puts the sin into sincerity. Even as it engineers the death of its speaker, JOMO is a paradoxically joyous litany of her endurance and a boost-plea to stay in a messed-up world and say it out loud. This anthem is best read at night or dawn when no one’s around for a Like or a kiss.      –from the Birds, LLC website


Boss Fight Books

Kingdom Hearts II by Alex Ray Corriea

Curbside Splendor

Perfect Conditions by Vanessa Blakeslee
300 pages – Curbside Splendor/Amazon

From the unforgiving surf of Costa Rica to hidden vineyards in the South of France, the stories in Perfect Conditions span the globe: a deep sea fisherman discovers he may not be allowed to return home when his contract expires; a young woman mourns the death of a dear friend she cannot save; a newlywed couple embark on a disastrous honeymoon.      –from the Curbside Splendor website

H_NGM_N

Field Guide to Autobiography by Melissa Eleftherion
Chapbook – H_NGM_N

“This book earns its title. It’s a field guide to the ecosystem that is being human. And that means it is also an autobiography. It is unclear in most of the poems where the human begins and ends, and this is how it should be. The world that comes out of these poems is luminous and difficult. This isn’t conventional nature poetry; it’s a poetry that helps us understand the future and the world that embeds us.”      –Juliana Spahr, author of Well Then There Now

Les Figues

Enfermario by Gabriela Torres Olivares, translated by Jennifer Donovan
144 pages – Les Figues/SPD

What does it mean to be? And to be different? Gabriela Torres Olivares poses these questions as she writes in the space between her characters’ bodies, desires, and experiences. With a constantly shifting gaze, these fifteen stories explore the profundity of otherness across beings and quasi beings, seeking out both discomfort and common ground. In her Enfermario, part infirmary and part bestiary, Gabriela Torres Olivares invites us into her characters’ worlds only to defamiliarize the quotidian and thus challenge our most basic preconceptions.      –from the Les Figues website


Melville House

Federal Reports on Police Killings: Ferguson, Cleveland, Baltimore, and Chicago by United States Department of Justice, Civil Rights Division
456 pages – Melville House/Amazon


Milkweed Editions

The Home Place: Memoirs of a Black Man’s Love Affair With Nature by J. Drew Lanham
240 pages – Milkweed Editions/Amazon

“In me, there is the red of miry clay, the brown of spring floods, the gold of ripening tobacco. I am, in the deepest sense, colored.” From these fertile soils—of love, land, identity, family, and race—emerges The Home Place, a big-hearted, unforgettable memoir by ornithologist J. Drew Lanham. Dating back to slavery, Edgefield County, South Carolina—a place “easy to pass by on the way to somewhere else”—has been home to generations of Lanhams. In The Home Place, readers meet these extraordinary people, including Drew himself, who over the course of the 1970s falls in love with the natural world around him. As his passion takes flight, however, he begins to ask what it means to be “the rare bird, the oddity”—to find joy and freedom in the same land his ancestors were tied to by forced labor, and then to be a black man in a profoundly white field.      –from the Milkweed Editions website


Open Letter Books

Salki by Wojciech Nowicki, translated by Jan Pytalski
210 pages – Open Letter Books/Amazon


OR Books

Diaspora Boy: Comics on Crisis in America and Israel by Eli Valley

A Fortune Foretold by Agneta Pleijel, translated by Marlaine Delargy
256 pages – Other Press/Amazon

The Parthenon Bomber by Christos Chrissopoulos, translated by John Cullen
128 pages – Other Press/Amazon


Sarabande Books

Hothouse by Karyna McGlynn
80 pages – Sarabande Books/Amazon

Karyna McGlynn takes readers on tour through the half-haunted house of the contemporary American psyche with wit, whimsy, and candid confession. Disappointing lovers surface in the bedroom; in the bathroom, “the drained tub ticks with mollusks & lobsters;” revenge fantasies and death lurk in the basement where they rightly belong. With lush imagery and au courant asides, Hothouse surprises and delights.      –from the Sarabande Books website

 


Sundress Publications

Before Isadore by Shannon Elizabeth Hardwick
Sundress Publications


Tyrant Books

The Sarah Book by Scott McClanahan
150 pages – Tyrant Books/Amazon


Unnamed Press

Blue Money by Janet Capron
212 pages – Unnamed Press/Amazon


 Wakefield Press

The King in the Golden Mask by Marcel Schwob, translated by Kit Schluter
176 pages – Wakefield Press/Amazon

First published in French in 1892 and never before translated fully into English, The King in the Golden Mask gathers together twenty-one of Marcel Schwob’s cruelest and most erudite tales. Melding the fantastic with historical fiction, these stories swarm around moments of unexplained violence both historical and imaginary, often blending the two through Schwob’s collaging of primary source documents into fiction. Brimming with murder, suicide, royal leprosy, and medieval witchcraft, this collection describes for us historically attested clergymen furtively attending medieval sabbaths, Protestant galley slaves laboring under the persecution of Louis XIV, a ten-year-old French viscountess seeking vengeance for her unwilled espousal to a money-grubbing French lord, and dice-tumbling sons of Florentine noblemen wandering Europe at the height of the 1374 plague. These writings are of such hallucinatory detail and linguistic specificity that the reader is left wondering whether they aren’t newly unearthed historical documents. To read Schwob is to encounter human history in its most scintillating and ebullient form as it comes into contact with his unparalleled imagination.      –from the Wakefield Press website


 Wave Books

Prose Architectures by Renee Gladman
144 pages – Wave Books/SPD
