Poetry should make you feel, and that is exactly what the powerful and plain-spoken poems in Mathias Nelson's DIP MY PACIFIER IN WHISKEY do. They make you feel deeply, sometimes like you have been kicked in the crotch, but feel nonetheless. This is the first poetry book in a long time that you can embrace one moment and throw across the room the next-the one thing, however, I guarantee you won't do is put it down.

The cult classic essay collection from “one of the most emotionally exacting, mercilessly candid, deeply funny . . . writers of our time” (Cheryl Strayed, The New York Times Book Review). First published in 2001, My Misspent Youthcaptured a generation’s uneasy coming of age as the world made its chaotic way into a new millennium. It also established Meghan Daum as a leading literary voice, widely celebrated for her fresh, provocative approach to the hidden fault lines of America’s cultural landscape. From her New Yorker essays about the financial demands of big-city ambition and the ethereal, strangely old-fashioned allure of cyber-relationships to her dazzlingly hilarious riff about musical passions that give way to middle-brow paraphernalia, Daum delves into the center of things while closely examining the detritus that spills out along the way. With precision and well-balanced irony, Daum implicates herself as readily as she does the targets that fascinate and horrify her.

Originally written in 2000 as his Masters thesis, Raymond P. Hammonds Poetic Amusement has been passed around underground as a digital file for ten years among those associated with The New York Quarterly. As provocative today as it was when it was written, what began as Hammonds observations of the influence of po biz and writing programs on contemporary American poetry became a timeless treatise on poetry itself. Using his experience with NYQ and devouring many literary critics across the ages from the ancient Greeks to contemporary critics, Hammond examines at once both our current literary environment and the essence of poetry. In seeking to answer the questions What is poetry? and Where does poetry come from? for himself, he encourages readers to ask those questions for and of themselves as well. Relevant and accessible to readers and writers of poetry and to those who think they dont know or want to know what poetry is, Poetic Amusement will anger, elevate and inspire all those who read it.

In his third collection, The Latitude of a Mercy, Stefan Lovasik offers a testament of unflinching immediacy, conflicted sensitivity, and lyric grace - poem after poem, wise without presumption, pared down to a breed of silent speech, the stubborn legacy of what must be said and all that never can. Lovasik brings into striking focus the landscape of war, the lasting physical, moral and psychological consequences of it, and the resilience of the human spirit. The Latitude of a Mercy is a timeless, deeply moving and luminous book.
