Great Expectations (2024)
Vinson Cunningham
"In Great Expectations, gospel is both a formative rhythm and a means of seduction. Cunningham writes thoughtfully about aspiration, fatalism, and the complexity of bearing witness to the creation of a mythology. I always look forward to reading his work."

Martyr! (2024)
Kaveh Akbar
"Kaveh Akbar renders the full spectrum of life, and death, with great beauty and care."
thumb
The New Naturals (2023)
Gabriel Bump
"The New Naturals explores how grief can become aspiration, how aspiration can become wildness. Bump writes so tenderly about the human error endemic to man-made things---community, partnership, love."
