I Am a Season That Does Not Exist in the World by Kim Kyung Ju
144 pages – Black Ocean/SPD
Kim Kyung Ju’s poetry operates in a world where no one seems to belong: “the living are born in the dead people’s world, and the dead are born in the living.” Already in its thirtieth edition in Korea, I Am a Season That Does Not Exist in the World is one of the most important books in the movement Korean critics have called Miraepa or future movement. Destructive forces like social isolation, disease, and ecological degradation are transformed into gateways to the sublime—where human action takes on the mythic and chaotic quality of nature. Conflating human agency with the natural order, Kim’s poems have been called by critics both a blessing and a curse to Korean literature. This book will be a startling English-language debut for one of the best-known poets writing in Korean today. –from the Black Ocean website

“This astonishing pathos-saturated debut collection was written by a 200 year old middle-schooler named Laura Marie Marciano. With pop pastiche, lyrical pirouettes, and sage insights parading as ‘confessions,’ these poems position—like a ballet class at its bar pivoting towards the mirror—the young against the old, the native against the new, and the innocent against the cynical to show them how, together, they more beautifully out of sync.” –Monica McClure, author of Tender Data

WINNER OF THE 2015 COLLAGIST CHAPBOOK CONTEST
Provincial cineastes sit down to a hundred-year-long movie. The reader of an immense Hungarian novel descends the quiet corridors of its pages. An amateur archaeologist fashions a dramatic shipwreck out of a pair or iron keys. These Stories blend chemistry textbook with family memoir, the history of ordinary objects with desolate loves, creating literary hybrids of surprising form and flickering passion. –from the Dzanc Books website

Style by Dolores Dorantes, translated by Jen Hofer
108 pages – Kenning Editions/SPD
Dolores Dorantes’s Style is a prose book in which a plural feminine voice narrates the vicissitudes of a war designed to suppress that voice. A voice that represents the war on the Mexico-U.S. border? Guerrilla adolescents taking their revenge? Enslaved girls who appear in order to combat a macho presidential figure linked to our current-day Central America? Latin America advancing on a fascist-capitalist government? These are some of the questions that might arise from Style. The book was written in 2011, in some dark place in Texas, during the first three months Dorantes was awaiting political asylum. –from the Kenning Editions website
Les Figues
Some Versions of the Ice by Adam Tipps Weinstein
96 pages – Les Figues/SPD
In this debut collection, Adam Tipps Weinstein essays the space between fiction and non-, examining such phenomena as graveyard- shoe collecting, collars, and garden sub-plots. Such speculations result in fact-filled fabulations and histories woven from esoterica—quotes and anecdotes assembled into tapestries of synergistic references as immutable as the paper they are printed on. Some Versions of the Ice reads like a walking tour of exhibits and non-exhibits at the Museum of Jurassic Technology, where history, theory, and philosophy merge, become poetic. –from the Les Figues website

Almost Home: Finding a Place in the World from Kashmir to New York by Githa Hariharan
304 pages – Restless Books/Amazon
What does a medieval city in South India have in common with Washington, D.C.? How do people in Kashmir imagine the freedom they long for? To whom does Delhi, city of grand monuments and hidden slums, actually belong? And what makes a city, or any place, home? In ten intricately carved essays, renowned author Githa Hariharan tackles these questions and takes readers on an eye-opening journey across time and place, exploring the history, landscape, and people that have shaped the world’s most fascinating and fraught cities. Inspired by Italo Calvino’s playful and powerful writing about journeys and cities, Almost Home combines memory, cultural criticism, and history to sculpt fascinating, layered stories about the places around the world—from Delhi, Mumbai, and Kashmir to Palestine, Algeria, and eleventh-century Córdoba, from Tokyo to New York and Washington. In narrating the lives of these place’s vanquished and marginalized, she plumbs the depths of colonization and nation-building, poverty and war, the fight for human rights and the day-to-day business of survival. –from the Restless Books website

Theater of Parts by M. Mack
Sundress Publications
Theater of Parts investigates dramatic forms through impossible theater, a term coined by Caridad Svich in her collection of Federico García Lorca’s drama, and the impossible body. Mack’s project is clearly influenced by Lorca, Jack Spicer, and Gertrude Stein. The manuscript is obsessed with transmogrification through a cast of characters including Milquetoast the crossdressing transfeminine cockroach, The Actor whose body is ether, and the controlling force of The Poet whose transmasculine body stubbornly is. The project engages with the other, in the vein of queer and feminist theory, existing in and pushing against the confines of academic space. –from the Sundress Publications website

Your lapidarium feels wrought by Jennifer Stella
Chapbook – Ugly Duckling Presse
Your lapidarium feels wrought is an exhibition of jeweled fragments in the form of language and experience. Beginning with raw materials, Jennifer Stella has wrought precious stones from rock, exposing crystallized, vivid imagery: hewed gems that catch and reflect light. Each poem functions as a postcard, an instant in time that harkens back to both the memory it recalls and to the moment it emerged in its new, polished state. Each instance of correspondence also speaks to the others within and across the seven cycles, via a shared parlance that spans time and space while retaining its particular, imagistic, and commemorative nature with a faint sheen of “wish you were here.” In her role and function as lapidary, the poet communicates how cutting away the opaque reveals an illuminated relationship between word and image. –from the Ugly Duckling Presse website

The Pig in Poetic, Mythological, and Moral-Historical Perspective by Oskar Panizza, translated by Erik Butler
120 pages – Wakefield Press/Amazon
“The Pig is the Sun…” So begins Oskar Panizza’s outrageously heretical and massively erudite essay on the pig, originally published in 1900 in Zurich Discussions, a journal self-published by Panizza in Switzerland after he had served a year in a Munich prison on 93 counts of blasphemy for his play The Love Council. Moving from the Rig Veda to the Edda to Ovid, from the story of Tristan and Isolde to Nordic celebrations of Christmas, from Grimm’s fairy tales to Swedish folklore to Judeo-Egyptian dietary restrictions, the author contends, through a dizzying exposition of painstaking philological argumentation, that the miraculous swine occupies a central, celestial position as the life-giving force animating the entire universe, usurping the place of God as the beginning and end of all things. –from the Wakefield Press website
