"Rendered with
acute beauty, tenderness and measured dignity of expression, Amanda Auchter¹s debut collection breathes life into her speakers
and themes: a woman in a coma, biblical figures, the divine and the
earthly, an unborn child, being and nothingness, a daughter given up for
adoption, the body and the soul, a hung-over unwed mother. These poems radiate
insistent light, pure lyric courage and unflagging compassion."

"John Pursley's striking debut is a collection of meticulously orchestrated
lyric mediations, very confident in its music, and recalling Larry Levis and
Charles Wright in the vividly rendered ways in which leitmotifs are
obsessively shuffled in order to bring the poems to large and abiding
reckonings. This is an ambitious book of abundant promise..." --David Wojahn $14.00 Buy now from Zone 3 Press Or Small Press Distribution |

Kate Gleason’s first book, Measuring the Dark, has the force of a full life behind it: a mature intelligence and gravitas gleaned through long experience. Gleason exhibits a sure handling of metaphor–both extended conceits and interlocking analogies— and a sure handling of the new science, from quantum physics to string theory, finding in the scientific world analogies for the human condition. Whether writing expansive narratives, layered with personal and political history, or tightly controlled lyrics with dazzling metaphysical conceits, Gleason measures love and loss on earth, set against the darkness and empty space that surrounds us, lit up, moment to moment, by the memory of those who moved us to words. —Neil Shepard, editor of

"What a surprising and exciting debut this is! Leigh Anne Couch's poems are a
completely natural amalgam of the ordinary and the fantastical, as if our
own zone of consciousness were repeatedly pierced by another, resulting in a
kind of dual perception that's both weird and completely logical. Thus the
world in which these poems form and flower is stranger and more dangerous than our own familiar one, but also more winged and beautiful." —Chase Twichell $12.00 Buy now from Zone 3 Press Or Small Press Distrubiton |

"In Andrew Kozma's poems, the world is intriguingly askew: 'The desert sky opens like the mouth of a dying fish.' Cafés undress, walls merge with air, and rooms speak, sometimes even returning one's gaze, projecting strange images that will shadow you like portraits whose eyes follow you around the room and even into the street. Kozma is at his best evoking those odd moments of disorientation when the stuff of your life transforms, seeming to submerge into a matrix of dream—'those moments air becomes solid and you stare through ice / like a man in a glacier.'" —J. Allyn Rosser $14.00
