Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Max Gillette's Fission is a powerful portrait of life with chronic pain, examining the stagnant nature of illness so equivalent to the stillness found in the heart of winter. Chosen as the winning winter chapbook from Palette Poetry's 2025 Micro Chapbook Prize, the poems in Fission are stripped back, vulnerable, and teeming with care in its lived experience with daily pain, endless hospital visits, desperate prayers. With sharp, precise language, Gillette explores the conflict between mind and body, battles between needs and wants, and manages to balance the sense of helplessness with quiet hope. These poems flow in crescendo and decrescendo to the upended corporeal symphony of this personal nuclear winter.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - How to Write an Essay is an attempt for the time being. These poems take seriously John D'Agata's question-and-answer: 'What is a lyric essay It's an oxymoron: an essay that's also a lyric; a kind of logic that wants to sing; an argument that has no chance of proving anything.' Trying and failing, in other words, is a complete poetics. In lyrics and broken prose, Lucy Xiang-fu Wainger interrogates desire, memory, the dialectic between thinking and feeling, and what it means to have once been a child. Read and know that you are the exact, specific person to whom she is speaking.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Sasha Wade's Notes From the Field is quiet, pensive, and devastatingly beautiful in the questions it dares to ask about life, loss, and grief. Chosen as the winning spring chapbook from Palette Poetry's 2025 Micro Chapbook Prize, the poems in Notes From the Field investigate innocence, knowledge, and childlike wonder both oppressed by and also made beautifully succinct through lived experience. Grief and loss are seen through manifestations in nature and wilderness, and the fissures between family are catalogued like perennial flowers slowly rising back up through the winter of memory, into a cusp of spring. Within Wade's language, winter is at the door and spring is bounding forth, breaking through the hushed echoes of past loved ones in order to see them as 'exhibits' upon which she writes her field notes for life.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Stephanie Chang's The Fragrant Blue Garden of Saints is a lively, atmospheric collection of longing and wanting, bounding with nature from the microcosmic to the universally grandeur. Chosen as the winning summer chapbook from Palette Poetry's 2025 Micro Chapbook Prize, the poems in The Fragrant Blue Garden of Saints energetically vault through warm bodies of water and field to examine identity, systems of love and loss, and the natural world in all its want, highlighting human desire as the connection to the earth. Desperation and gentle ease simultaneously expand through an exploration of want, instinct, and the intense presence of constant, teeming life. Within Chang's focused diction, we see the decay and finitude present within all living things, the world green and overflowing with life and vitality to the point of a desired claustrophobia, and everything dewy with the glossy substance of life's pinnacle.…
