"Brilliant ....certainly among the most gifted, vivid, and deft poets now writing in English."—Anthony Hecht, author of The Darkness and the Light An exuberant and bold series of poems drawing on the poet's life in the Catskill Mountains. Questions of exile and belonging figure prominently, as does the struggle to find a viable relationship with the natural world. In the chainsaw—the book's central image—all manner of human traits are reflected with an intense, often comical brilliance.

Grey's first collection of horror/fantasy poetry explored "the damp caverns of the subconsciousness in search of the controlling force within. Do we control it, or does it control us? The doubt that these poems cast on our answer to the question is sheer terror," according to "Star Lines," The Science Fiction Poetry Association Newsletter. In this second collection, Grey's dark ride continues. But, this time, the shadows are laughing.

"I first came across Keith when he submitted some poems to a little magazine I was editing by the name of D.O.R. His mastery of form and syntax were unparalleled-where most poets were careening off into wild arenas, Keith was here tactfully curtailing his rushing gusts of feeling and reigning in the madness to small, containable poems that explode like landmines. What we have here is a fantastic collection of heavily programmed poems that contain entire universes in their constrained lines. Where some prefer to blast out into the bombastic reaches, Keith burrows down into the heart and soul of the mundane becoming madness. Each poem is a little gem that reflects the light in a sparkling rainbow if you just hold it up in a certain way-his language is a prism and it is up to you to figure it out. That is not to say that these poems are difficult. They may have their element of archaeology, but really they are simple affairs containing the world of abstraction. The language washes over you in warm waves and gives you the room to come back for more and more finding something new each time you have a look. I am extremely happy to have been sent this collection. It warms my heart to see poets who are this dedicated to the form while still being willing to push the boundaries and explore the outer reaches. Keith is firmly a modernist. His poems are microcosms of the modern world wrapped up in a genuine love for the form of poetry. Read on and see what I mean-maybe some of his love will rub off on you!"

The instant New York Times Bestseller • Nominated for the 2019 National Book Award for Fiction “A lyrical work of self-discovery that’s shockingly intimate and insistently universal…Not so much briefly gorgeous as permanently stunning.” —Ron Charles, The Washington Post Ocean Vuong’s debut novel is a shattering portrait of a family, a first love, and the redemptive power of storytelling On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous is a letter from a son to a mother who cannot read. Written when the speaker, Little Dog, is in his late twenties, the letter unearths a family’s history that began before he was born — a history whose epicenter is rooted in Vietnam — and serves as a doorway into parts of his life his mother has never known, all of it leading to an unforgettable revelation. At once a witness to the fraught yet undeniable love between a single mother and her son, it is also a brutally honest exploration of race, class, and masculinity. Asking questions central to our American moment, immersed as we are in addiction, violence, and trauma, but undergirded by compassion and tenderness, On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous is as much about the power of telling one’s own story as it is about the obliterating silence of not being heard. With stunning urgency and grace, Ocean Vuong writes of people caught between disparate worlds, and asks how we heal and rescue one another without forsaking who we are. The question of how to survive, and how to make of it a kind of joy, powers the most important debut novel of many years.

Drowning in Wheat collects the best of three decades of John Kinsella's astonishing poetry in one volume. Kinsella is universally acknowledged as one of the greatest living Australian poets, and arguably the most important 'eco-poet' of the age; however, this collection also reveals a writer of unexpected and remarkable versatility, and one fluent in an almost bewildering range of forms, registers and voices. Despite its great thematic range, Kinsella's overarching project emerges all the more clearly: Drowning in Wheat is a clarion call and a call to order, a plea to listen to the earth - and to understand our own place within it while we still can. It is also an ideal introduction to one of the essential poets of the age.
