Book Description
Winner of the 2015 Agnes Lynch Starrett Poetry Prize Miriam Bird Greenberg's stunning first collection, which roves across a lush, haunting rural America both real and imagined, observed from railyards and roadsides, evokes the world of myth ("I'd spent my childhood / in a house made of bees; on hot days honey // dripped through cracks in the ceiling," she writes). Yet these capacious, exquisitely tensioned poems are rooted in Greenberg's experiences hitchhiking and hopping freight trains across North America, or draw from her informal interviews with contemporary nomads, hobos, and others living on society's edges. Beneath their surface runs a current of violence, whether at the hands of fate or men: she writes "Everyone knows // what happens to women // who hitchhike, constantly // trying a door to the other world made of lake / bottom or low forest, abandoned house // even wild animals / have rejected." The result is a queering of On the Road, a feminist Frank Stanford at once vulnerable and canny. Richly textured, In the Volcano's Mouth is an extraordinary portrait of life on the enchanted margins.

Book Description
Miriam Nash spent her early years on the Isle of Erraid, West Scotland, where Robert Louis Stevenson's family once worked as lighthouse engineers. Voices of the island echo through her first collection, All the Prayers in the House, which holds at its heart, the rupture and re-imagining of a family. Shifting and non-linear, the collection travels far from its coastal opening, moving south, crossing the Atlantic, visiting a women's prison and a 17th century ladies dictionary. Here are poems of ritual and transgression, safety and danger, tussles with the meaning of companionship and marriage. Bold, honest, imaginative and playful, they take the form of postcards, fragments, letters, underwater phonecalls and formal verse - many kinds of prayer, perhaps, for many kinds of storm.

Book Description
Against Certain Capture fuses biography and poetry. It is an exploration of poet Miriam Wei Wei Lo's grandmothers' lives. It comprises two series of poems: the first focuses on the poet's Malaysian-Chinese grandmother, Liang Yue Xian; the second on the poet's Anglo-Australian grandmother, Eva Sounness.This book is as much an exploration of form as it is an exploration of lives: The poet plays with various free verse forms (including short and long line variants); experiments with the concrete possibilities of words on the page; and tests out the terza rima sonnet, the pantoum, and the headline forms. This is in contrast to Bernadine Evaristo's fusion of biography and poetry in the verse-novel Lara, which is much more uniform: being largely blank verse (mostly pentameter). At the time Lo wrote Against Certain Capture, Evaristo's Lara was the only book-length predecessor she could find that investigated ethnic hybridity in poetry.In spite of its formal diversity, Against Certain Capture is written uniformly in close third person. This means it occasionally blurs the line between fiction and non-fiction by depicting the thoughts and feelings of its biographical subjects. While these projections are based on extensive research (including interviews with the one grandmother who was still living; as well as a trip to China to interview the sisters of the deceased grandmother), they are still (largely) projections - imagined rainbows of personality that emerge from the granite of the biographical facts (to use Virginia Woolf's metaphors).The title of this book may lead some to think that this poet subscribes to the somewhat fashionable view that language lacks the capacity to sufficiently communicate meaning. While this poet does not claim the ability to communicate meaning in any absolute sense, she does believe in the possibility of communicating enough meaning for connection to be viable.
