Velvet
An exposed and exposing collection of poetry on inherited trauma, chronic illness, and the American South
The Perfect Bastard

Synthetic Jungle
A vital breath of life arrives in American poetry with Synthetic Jungle, the latest from award-winning poet Michael Chang. At once hilarious and scathing, Synthetic Jungle effortlessly bashes convention while rebuilding the language we use to communicate our fears and joys.
oh, you thought this was a date?!
C. Russell Price's debut collection is a somatic grimoire exploring desire, gender, and sexuality. It asks: What is radical vengeance? Does true survivorship from sexual trauma exist only in fantasy, or is it an attainable reality?
We Are Not Wearing Helmets
These political love poems challenge the injustices of ageism, racism, isolation, and oppression with bravery and kindness.
The Monster I Am Today
Writer and musician Kevin Simmonds explores Leontyne Price as an icon, a diva, a woman, and a patriot—and himself as a fan, a budding singer, and a gay man—through passages that move polyphonically through Black identity, Black sound, Black sensibility, and Black history.
Love Child's Hotbed of Occasional Poetry
National Book Award winner Nikky Finney’s fifth collection of poems articulates the Black American history into a new language of “docu-poetry.”
neckbone
The “blk alter” of Avery R. Young’s poetic vision makes its stunning debut in a multidisciplinary arsenal entitled, neckbone: visual verses. Young’s years of supernatural fieldwork within the black experience and the gospel of his transitions between poetry, art and music, become the stitch, paint brush, metaphor, and narrative of arresting visual metaphors of childhood teachings and traumas, identity, and the personal reverence of pop culture’s beauty and beast. A mastermind in a new language of poetry, that engages and challenges readers to see beyond the traditional spaces poems are shaped and exist, Young’s neckbone extends tentacles in literature, art, and activism--redefining the collective and the sermon of the “blk” experience.
