This début collection of poems from Timothy P. McLaughlin chronicles an inspired intimacy with the still wild places and presences of Earth. The musical, iridescent language delights the senses and draws the reader/listener back into an essential creatureliness and basic loving kinship with the natural world.

Still is a collection of poems that focuses on the immigrant experience: a family's journey from Lima, Peru to Miami, Florida as political refugees and asylum seekers and the impact that had on the life of a boy as he grew into a man. Renzo Del Castillo's poems often reveal larger moral concerns, touching in their language the world of politics and betrayal that cannot help but impose upon the world of private language. That heritage of terror and exile that sometimes underlies these poems gives them a sense of history within the lyric confusions of a single life, capturing the idiosyncrasies of the Miami landscape as a destination for Latin American and Caribbean migrations that intersect with an evolving definition of American identity. These poems include reflections of memory and transition, as well as adaptation to new cultures and geographies, through an ethnographic lens. There is a lovely and intimate tone, used to remind the reader that imagination triumphs over, or sometimes through, adversity.

Forging into an ice storm, Teddy's quest grows weird. It is the perfect onion, though, he must acquire, whether it exists or not.

Thumbsucker, the third poetry collection by Kat Giordano, is a celebration of the juvenile, attention-seeking, and emotionally-intense. These poems are funny, sentimental, and so sharp they might make you cringe, at the speaker or at yourself, but won't flinch if you do. "A eulogy, minus death, plus balloons.""Kat Giordano's Thumbsucker is one of those bruised, bloody-knuckled, cut-lipped books that has flung itself into life and all its suffering and is here to tell you, dripping in manna and umbra, how it survived. But behind this, cast like a shadow at dusk, is an argument that says despite its pain, its ugliness, life is beauty, is splendor, laughter and love. Read these poems for the iron in them, for Giordano's ability to rock you with a line like a surprise left hook. Return for the way these poems part the dark to show you something bright. "it felt wrong of me / to eulogize something I killed, / to miss it, even, / and still not be sorry." -Todd Dillard, author of Ways We Vanish.

These representations of Kentucky life in the 20th and 21st centuries will bring back memories for readers, create bonds between generations, and honor a life of simplicity, work, and family. In 2023, Kyle Alvey finished his first year of teaching high school in the same school where his grandparents ended their teaching careers. His Papaw taught Agriculture and sponsored the Future Farmers of America (FFA). His Mamaw taught home economics. Their farm was their life, which he shared in during trips from Owensboro, KY to the Greenup Co. KY area. His memories of childhood visits include exploring the trees, fields, and creeks of the farm, walking through "His garden" (Papaw's), watching TV in the living room with his grandparents in their armchairs, fishing in the pond and searching through the assorted outbuildings filled with years of his grandparents' bits and ends. It's a purposeful reimagination of Kyle's childhood with a focus on those around him. It's a vigorous and honest reflection on where and who he comes from and connects the two sides of Kentucky that split his life. The poetry explores aspects of childhood living on a tobacco farm in Eastern Kentucky. The vignettes characterize his Mamaw and Papaw in ways people of Eastern Kentucky will recognize. The author's time on Low Gap Road makes the connection between the different types of people who live in Kentucky. Their differences, when they are positive, make us stronger. We should all recognize where and who we come from and do our best to keep memories and narratives alive.

Dwelling in the Twilight Realm begins with a series of evocative "dreamscapes" as a lens through which the poet observes the blurring of the observable and the imagined in contemporary society. These poems examine the conjoining of dream and reality in what André Breton called surreality. In the remainder of this collection Don Langford further explores the twilight realm by peeling away social surface layers to reveal underlying disillusionments and revelations. The book concludes with the emergence of a waking state that confronts death, dissolution, and impermanence through appreciative strands of gratitude and wonder. This is a richly layered and poetically imaginative collection by a poet on the move.
