'McShea is one of the only writers I know whose dreams I remember as if they were my own. She makes intricate language-scapes out of the theater of daily emotion.'- Lucy Corin, author of The Entire Predicament This is an intricate and wowing collection of poetry and prose that asks 'how is it out there with you?' 'Approaching greatness sideways like ants without eyes?' Or 'just beckoning horrors?' No matter the weight of your spirit or whether you have feelings for 'a toffee, a tart, perfect bedlam,' Megan McShea bids you welcome to hike with her (keep your buggy fingers out of her special blend rutabaga trail mix, though) into A Mountain City of Toad Splendor.It’s as if Swiss writer Robert Walser is watching from his nearby shanty, chuckling gently and playing a vibey song, blowing through leaves in his hand, sing-chanting better days, better days. HTMLGiant’s editor Blake Butler has climbed the Mountain and heard '700 kinds of music.' He calls it 'full time demon voodoo,' as he drapes his sweat and yogurt-stained lederhosen on a pinyon-juniper near a peak. Whatever your 'it' is, have you not grown weary of it? Girl, McShea knows all about it-look inside.

    ‘There’s a touch of both Dickinson and Larkin in Jennifer Chrystie’s mature exhumation of the tales and tropes of family. Figures who could so easily flit like phantoms in her well honed poetry are palpably enjoying an after-life in the poet’s ability to redeem through deep understanding. The collection arcs from, at one extreme, the parsimonies of the household, to the transce...

  • One Kiss
    Edward V Bonner
    The very title of Edward V. Bonner's first volume of poetry, One Kiss (Ingram, 2015), suggests some ways in which the poems inside balance the universal with the particular. Most of the poems examine the themes of beauty and risk, pleasure and danger, in the context of one of three kinds of relationships: to romantic partners, to the spiritual world, and to the world of nature....
