Poems
Matthias Göritz
Translated by Mary Jo Bang
“The book is rendered into sharp, pithy, idiomatic English by the poet and translator Mary Jo Bang, who has recently translated Dante. With her help, Göritz asks, ‘Isn’t it time we went missing?’” —Rae Armantrout, author of Finalists
Arendt, Kant, and the Enigma of Judgment
Martin Blumenthal-Barby
“With this truly exquisite book, Martin Blumenthal-Barby shows how Arendt’s masterful, if elusive, theory of judgment can serve to reimagine politics in our time.” —Amir Eshel, author of Poetic Thinking Today: An Essay
Colorblind Tools
Global Technologies of Racial Power
Marzia Milazzo
“Marzia Milazzo deploys historical breadth, philosophical depth, and analytic rigor to expose and articulate how colorblindness reproduces and dissimulates its own violence.” —Calvin Warren, author of Ontological Terror: Blackness, Nihilism, and Emancipation
Water’s Edge
Writing on Water
Edited by Lenore Manderson and Forrest Gander
“Manderson and Gander have curated a powerful case for paying real attention to this most powerful of earth’s gifts to us.” —Amanda H. Lynch, coauthor of Urgency in the Anthropocene
Art in Doubt
Tolstoy, Nabokov, and the Problem of Other Minds
Tatyana Gershkovich
“Art in Doubt is a deeply sophisticated, subtle, and compelling study of the dilemmas of authorship in the era of transition from realism to modernism.” —Thomas Seifrid, author of The Word Made Self: Russian Writings on Language, 1860–1930
