'Who makes a book that can be cut in half? Who makes a work of art, designed to be given away-for free? Who writes an anti-capitalist, anti-conglomerate, anti-globalization meditation on early 21st century life in the United States that isn’t, actually, anti-anything? (Save, meanness.) Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Mikey Swanberg is not an absurdist poet. He’s a man writing love poems to this gloriously absurd life: subtle, sad, smart, funny love songs, bound the size of a dime novel for a back pocket, and now it’s in your friend’s back pocket, and now it’s in the seat next to you on the train. Who writes a book that, from page one, can teach us again how to accept each other as we are, how to share? Only Mikey Swanberg, the poet laureate of getting over yourself.' -Rebecca Gayle Howell

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....
