In a secularized society, what kind of faith in our collective powers and imaginations can be patch-worked together, and what might be the role of angels? Through multiple locales, languages, and spiritualities, A Bouquet Brought Back from Space both subverts and sublimates traditions of religious poetry, love poetry, and song. Playful in form and formed full of play, this fourth book of poetry by Kevin Spenst explores loss, love and faith through the palindrome, Madlib, Fibonacci, found poem, prose poem, sonnet and various strains of free verse. Spenst meditates on mental health, poetic friendships and influences, and the possibility of there being an angel assigned to the Mennonites at the beginning of their global journey. These poems sing, cry, and soothe.

The Art of Falling in Love Again is the highly anticipated second collection from poet and internet personality Franny Arrieta that speaks on heartbreak and resurfacing after pain with vulnerably and unbreakable hope. Franny Arrieta has made a name for herself as a poet and creator who speaks openly on the universal experiences of heartbreak and the courage it takes to love in a world of opposition. Relatable in its vulnerability, and guided by Franny's gentle and soothing words, The Art of Falling in Love Again takes readers on a deep dive into the struggles of falling in love again--with someone new and with yourself--and the rollercoaster of emotions we all face along the way from heartbreak to healing. The Art of Falling in Love Again is an earnest reminder that it's okay to not be okay after experiencing deep pain; It's okay to have a heart half full or not full at all; It's okay to feel completely broken and unrecognizable. And even if it feels like it never will, love will find you, and you will fall again.

The rich and ongoing development of Russian lyric poetry, explored through close readings of thirty-four poems by poets ranging from Alexander Blok to Maria StepanovaThe Russian cultural tradition treats poetry as the supreme artistic form, with Alexander Pushkin as its national hero. Modern Russian lyric poets, often on the right side of history but the wrong side of their country's politics, have engaged intensely with subjectivity, aesthetic movements, ideology (usually subversive), and literature itself. All the World on a Page gathers thirty-four poems, written between 1907 and 2022, presenting each poem in the original Russian and an English translation, accompanied by an essay that places the poem it its cultural, historical, and biographical contexts. The poems, both canonical and lesser-known works, extend across a range of moods and scenes: The poems, both canonical and lesser-known works, extend across a range of moods and scenes: Velimir Khlebnikov's Futurist revolutionary prophecy, Anna Akhmatova's lyric cycle about poetic inspiration, Vladimir Nabokov's Symbolist erotic dreamworld, Joseph Brodsky's pastiche of a Chekhovian play set on a country estate, Maria Stepanova's pandemic allegory of political repression, Galina Rymbu's energetic manifesto "My Vagina."An introduction explores the abiding inspiration of modernism on the Russian lyric tradition. The separate chapter essays, informed by extensive knowledge of the existing scholarship and critical styles of interpretation consider how the interplay of originality and tradition, form and voice work to engage the reader. The poems themselves, many of them in newly commissioned translations, operate outside state-mandated poetic styles to address the reader directly, "tête-à-tête," as Brodsky said in his 1987 Nobel lecture. With each chapter devoted to a different poem, All the World on a Page allows readers to experience the richness of Russian poetry through poems and poets.
