Bruised Gospel's raw devotional sonority multiplies like a spell through poems of great formal range and restraint. “Alcaide-Escue bridges the tender and the terrible, exploring and examining the sadnesses and slow glories that bind us together. Like Louise Glück’s work, these delicate yet deliberate poems transform image into meaning, recording the moment of realization and leaving the reader more fully alive.” (Emma Bolden)

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.

A previously unpublished selection, Joanna Ruocco's The Boghole and the Beldame is a pastoral hallucination—more spell than story—that harks back to the waking/walking life of an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.
