Jacqueline Waters's fourth collection confronts the ways we push each other around, hoping for a little win, settling for the slow diminishment of our souls. “Waters has always been new to me, these more than twenty years I've admired her.” —Ariana Reines

Comprising a decade of writing, James Loop’s debut collection chronicles an ordinary life in patriarchal time, its subjugation and inventive resistance. “… thought itself becomes erotic … attention, memory, and intellect gleam as forms of intimacy.” —Stacy Szymaszek

Serena Solin’s first full-length collection pulls from the pre-individual realm of birth and infancy, the collectivity into which we grow, and the narrow pathway in between. “… a luminous elegy on loss that unfolds in inventive forms.” —Brenda Coultas
