Lyrical and rife with utterance, Salt Body Shimmer asks of the violence we inherit: who speaks from "the threshold throat" inside "the dark's dark"? Interior driven and intimately political, the poems in this stunning debut coax and trouble form, traversing the landscape of trauma and survival with a deft musicality of time, family, and slippery memory. At the intersections of race, class, gender, and sexuality, Foreman makes a song of the body-it's howl and jubilation-and invites us to confront our interior lives in the listening. Bold in its quest for knowledge and refuge, Salt Body Shimmer articulates a contemporary American experience, aware of the histories unsaid and unfaced, where women can inhabit their lives fully and freely, knowing safety is fragile and must be grabbed by whatever thread we can find.

Library of Small Catastrophes, Alison Rollins’ ambitious debut collection, interrogates the body and nation as storehouses of countless tragedies. Drawing from Jorge Luis Borges’ fascination with the library, Rollins uses the concept of the archive to offer a lyric history of the ways in which we process loss. “Memory is about the future, not the past,” she writes, and rather than shying away from the anger, anxiety, and mourning of her narrators, Rollins’ poetry seeks to challenge the status quo, engaging in a diverse, boundary-defying dialogue with an ever-present reminder of the ways race, sexuality, spirituality, violence, and American culture collide.

Ben Clark's, if you turn around I will turn around, is a collection of epistolary poems that explore, question, and document the evolving eighteen year relationship with his closest friend. With elegant, lyrical language, and through collaboration with other authors and text, Clark crafts a voice that is both singular, and choral as the lives, and words of others weave their way through his poetry. This is a book of refusal mixed with rugged acceptance, a book of forgetting, remembering, and re-imagining. If you turn around I will turn around, is Ben Clark's offering, an exchange of memory, and story, and love. The poems honor, mourn, retreat into, and mark the space between two lives, and the pull of those lives in opposite directions.
