These poems pause for the spectacle - cloning technologies, super-slo-mo photography, narcotic cab rides - to describe a system of tripwires, pitfalls, and decoys that the notion of daily viewership entails. These poems are paeans to our facility for duplicity and self-deception, in which the act of living is like a movie we're not in.

Mette Harrison’s Book of Laman is not funny. It doesn’t use intentional archaisms to make fun of the Book of Mormon’s language; rather, it tells its story in a non-distracting modern style. The characters are not simply reversed. Nephi is sometimes an annoying brat, but he is also a real prophet who sees and speaks for the Lord. Laman is neither a comic book villain nor a long-suffering ironist. He is a flawed human being struggling to live well and usually coming up short. And in some of the book’s very best scenes, he is touched unexpectedly by grace and God.

When her husband, Lance, accepted the pastorate of New Light Church in the small town of Southlake, Texas, Jacqueline Stevens thought the transition would be a cakewalk for a first lady with her years of experience. After all, she’d seen and heard it all before. Little did she know that she was about to embark on a journey of trials, self-doubt, and pain the likes of which she’d never imagined. With a world full of church drama, conniving members, loose women, power-playing deacons, false accusations, and fed-up preacher’s kids, how could God get the glory out of this mess?

I Love Hearing Your Dreams is a book of reveries, of failed elegies, of “the last time that things were real” and the moments that come afterward. These are dream songs for an age of insomnia, where the poet is always awake “at that oddest hour / that does not end, / the crooked, unnumbered one” and the future seems to be “just the past in a suit / that will never be in style.” Yet dreams in Matthew Zapruder’s poems are also a place of possibility, of reality envisioned anew—sleep shows us not merely what the world is, but what it could be.

“Some girls are not made,” torrin a. greathouse writes, “but spring from the dirt.” Guided by a devastatingly precise hand, Wound from the Mouth of a Wound—selected by Aimee Nezhukumatathil as the winner of the 2020 Ballard Spahr Prize for Poetry—challenges a canon that decides what shades of beauty deserve to live in a poem. greathouse celebrates “buckteeth & ulcer.” She odes the pulp of a bedsore. She argues that the vestigial is not devoid of meaning, and in kinetic and vigorous language, she honors bodies the world too often wants dead.

"Volando de Catorce" es una recopilación de sonetos que Joaquín Sabina escribió mientras se recuperaba de un derrame cerebral que no le permitía subir a los escenarios.

In this day and age men hardly ever talk about their problems or feelings, let alone turn them into poetry, perhaps this book can be a catalyst for men finding a sense of power and honor in vulnerability and how it's a huge part of being human. “Our darkness is a classroom with the lights off, but the lessons there are truly enlightening”
