Ella Longpre's Apocalune, a separation cosmology is the diaphane between revelation and revolution, a very thin, very heavy curtain. Here is where sadness, reconstruction, misery, and relief tearstain the pages of dismembered books. Here is distraught revelry, ecstatic empathy, and selfemptying. A sky of mirrored light.Praise for Apocalune, A Separation Cosmology"Somewhere between the spray (weft) and the moon, the sibylline witness Apocalune. Take heed-"- Reed Bye"An ocean.

A previously unpublished selection, Joanna Ruocco's The Boghole and the Beldame is a pastoral hallucination—more spell than story—that harks back to the waking/walking life of an archetypal dreamer. Afoot in the muck of language, Ruocco paints a thicket in which every shimmering growth baffles the landscape. The characters—creatures, figures, names—in The Boghole and the Beldame lean against time, pluck it for quills, wring its veins for blue, and blush black. Ruocco knows language like the tongue knows teeth. Here is a gateway to the everywhere of your ancestral sleep.

Lisette Alonso's The Album of Untaken Photos is a series of lyrical daguerrotypes that expose the passing moment's power. With alarming grace, Alonso renders the emotional and psychic constitution of almost-memories, instances half-noticed, socially unpreserved yet personally irrefutable. We see the human beings in Alonso's poetry from without while they, as family members, shape each other mysteriously from within. There is a soundlessness to this language that trembles with what's real and readies us for revelation.

Occasions to Call Miracles Appropriate is deep-image memory-work, “the aperture eyelid between dream and awake, in the threshold conjuring." Here is a language of personal address and verbal nouns: persons, places, and things converge with pliant reflexivity.A multilingual and transnational poet, Laura Cesarco Eglin’s verse toes the line between the casual and the crystalline, a trick impelled by lucidity of image. These occasions interrogate linguistic boundaries embedded in everyday encounter, and represent her first collection originally composed in English.
