Pictures of the fleeting moment, capturing more than the eye can see - these are the essence of David Semanki's Ghost Camera.

Anne Harding Woodworth's The Spare Parts Saga is the journey of her book, Spare Parts: A Novella in Verse (Turning Point, 2008), as it is goes from Washington, DC, to a place between Co. Tipperary and Co. Clare, Ireland. It is not an easy trip. The poet chronicles her book's several transatlantic crossings. The U.S. Postal Service's daily tracking provides her with the titles of the poems, which prompt Anne to remember her past and to comment on life during the Covid pandemic, as well as to deride the USPS for the book's circuitous travel.

Hypnotic and provocative by turns, SHADOW PLAY retraces a journey across Asia in search of the marriage that faltered in its wake. Part love poem, part elegy, Jody Bolz's new book enacts the conflict between memory and estrangement. In his introduction, novelist Vikram Chandra writes: "an extraordinary act of literary ventriloquism...a conversation among the many selves that were once bound up in love. The poem, in all its formal inventiveness and variety, is an incarnation of the ineluctable passage of time itself."
