Jennifer Silverman’s Bath is set to be released in May of this year. 2021 contest judge Traci Brimhall had to say this about Silverman’s collection
Jen Silverman’s poems are baptisms of desire. They’ve traveled the world and come back to tell you the pleasure to be found there, the holes of each leaving, the way it is all “drenched in light and wine.” Economical in syntax and generous in image, Bath astonishes at every turn with its heart, its wisdom, its waters.
Melody S. Gee’s The Convert’s Heart is Good to Eat is set to be released in June. Brimhall said of Gee’s collection
Melody Gee’s gorgeous poems offer both divine wounds and delicious consolations. At the intersections of the familial and the sacred, The Convert’s Heart is Good to Eat reminds us that what is created is also consumed. Beautiful, sensory, and aching, this collection reminds us that not all hungers are mortal ones.

Finalists
Poetry by Rae Armantrout
Wesleyan University Press, February 2022
A double book (176pp) by Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Rae Armantrout. I mean, really, do we need to say more? How about some samples? From “Shush”: “A smart pop song / can convince a desperate person / to see herself / as a thrill seeker. // This is considered a job skill.” From “Flocks”: “As thoughts take pleasure / in forming, then break and / retreat.” From “Plague Year”: “What we share is distance: telephone poles / leaning this way and that, a wayward / crowd that staggers drunkenly / toward an empty, mauve horizon. // We can’t wait to see / who dies next.” This is not a book of poetry. It’s a collection of daily meditations to see us through. To what? Exactly.
Catamaran Literary Reader remains one of the most gorgeous (and weighty), large-format, full-color literary-art magazines on the market.

Subtexts
Poetry by Dan Brady
Publishing Genius Press, February 2022
In an innovative form, Barrelhouse poetry editor Dan Brady plays with the methods of erasure poetry to create something entirely new. This collection of ten poems (in 88 pages) uncovers the networks of language and meaning through shifting layers of text. The poems focus on some of the greatest threats humans face in 2022—climate change, the surveillance state, America’s mental health crisis—and how our future hinges on our ability or failure to communicate.
Hampden-Sydney Poetry Review Editor Nathaniel Perry invites readers to “imagine pouring yourself a cup of bad coffee out of that carafe on the cover and start reading. The coffee’s probably not very hot, but it will do.” Indeed, the contents of this issue will more than make you forget any bad cup of joe, with works from Ellen Kaufman, John Koethe, Dylan Carpenter, Will Brewbaker, Tao Qian, Jonathan Cannon, Tiffany Hsieh, Michael Dechane, Hilary Sio, Paul Nemser, Brandon Thurman, Valencia Robin, and many more. There is also a yearly feature I love called “4X4” – four contributors answering the same four questions. The questions are long-framed and take up a page, then are followed by responses from Shane McCrae, Lauren Hilger, Michael O’Leary, and Amaranth Borsuk & Terri Witek (who contributed a co-authored piece). Visit the Hampden-Sydney Poetry Review website to learn more.
More or Less: Essays from a Year of No Buying
Creative Nonfiction by Susannah Q. Pratt
EastOver Press, February 2022
In 2018, Pratt and her family decided to buy nothing for a year: “We undertook a 365-day moratorium on the purchase of new clothes, toys, games, books, electronics, gear, furniture, housewares, and other things that fall in the general category of ‘stuff.’ For twelve months we purchased only essentials – food, toiletries, light bulbs, and a few pairs of shoes for my growing boys. We stayed out of stores and off of online shopping sites. We fixed things. We made things. We went without.” Winner of the 2021 EastOver Prize for Nonfiction, the essays in More or Less explore the degree to which we are defined, and confined, by what we own.
There are only fifteen seats for the Raleigh Review’s two-day Writers Studio Poetry Workshop with Dorianne Laux and Joseph Millar. The event takes place via Zoom from 1:00-5:00 PM (EST) Saturday, May 21, and Sunday, May 22, 2022. Visit the Raleigh Review website for more details.
Behind the Big House: Reconciling Slavery, Race, and Heritage in the U.S. South
African American Studies by Jodi Skipper
University of Iowa Press, March 2022
When residents and tourists visit sites of slavery, all too often the lives of slaveowners are centered, obscuring the lives of enslaved people. Behind the Big House is a candid, behind-the-scenes look at what it really takes to interpret the difficult history of slavery in the U.S. South. The book explores Jodi Skipper’s eight-year collaboration with the Behind the Big House program, a community-based model used at local historic sites to address slavery in the collective narrative of U.S. history and culture.
Notably “severely delayed,” the Fall/Winter 2021 issue of Black Warrior Review begins with a farewell from the 2021 editorial team, looking back over the past year: “Despite all the hardship, it’s because of you all that we were able to keep going and be reminded of the importance of literature and storytelling.” The issue features works by Neon Mashurov, KT Herr, Jim Whiteside, Sarah Lao, Emily Holland, Timi Sanni, Jo Hahn-Socolofsky, Bernardo Wade, Georgie Fehringer, Megan Kakimoto, Ellie Black, Ariana Benson, Sanam Sheriff, Olivia Muenz, Jacqui Zeng, Yasmine Ameli, Theresa Sylvester, Kien Lam, Justin Wymer, Lyn Gao Cox, and many more. Included is also a chapbook by JinJin Xu and a section on Queer Ekphrasis with an introduction by Guest Editors Anaïs Duplan and Nikki Gamboa.
The Spring 2022 Issue of Raleigh Review includes 2022 Raleigh Review Flas Fiction Prize Winner “Blood” by Keith S. Wilson and Honorable Mentions “Good on Paper” by Vandana Khanna and “All Rise” by Rita Ciresi, as well as three works by Allison Blevins who earned Honorable Mention in the 2022 Geri Digiorno Prize. The cover art is “Snapshot” by Christine Kouwenhoven, Winner of the 2022 Geri Digiorno Prize. Co-editor Landon Houle offers a note that encourages catching a glimpse of hope around us, perhaps “in the stories, the poems, the art we love and have collected to share with you,” and Publisher Rob Greene shares his harrowing experience when he “went down with a heart attack last December” and expresses his gratitude to “poets, writers, artists, friends, family, and members of our community of neighbors around the world who do care enough to support this small, though mighty magazine.”
Crow Funeral
Poetry by Kate Hanson Foster
EastOver Press, March 2022
Crow Funeral is the end result of intention and design gone off-script. What began as a fascination with a phenomenon of crows congregating in overwhelming numbers around one of their fallen, eventually became a collection that merges an interest in the neurological wiring of birds with a mother’s battle with postpartum depression and anxiety.
Khabaar: An Immigrant Journey of Food, Memory, and Family
Memoir by Madhushree Ghosh
University of Iowa Press, April 2022
Khabaar is a food memoir and personal narrative that braids the global journeys of South Asian food through immigration, migration, and indenture. Focusing on chefs, home cooks, and food stall owners, the book questions what it means to belong and what belonging looks like in a new place with foods carried over from the old country. These questions are integral to the Ghosh’s own immigrant journey to America as a daughter of Indian refugees (from what’s now Bangladesh to India during the 1947 Partition of India); as a woman of color in science; as a woman who left an abusive marriage; and as a woman who keeps her parents’ memory alive through her Bengali food. Includes eleven color and three b&w photos in addition to the gorgeous cover photo.
I love Colorado Review Editor Stephanie G’Schwind’s commentary to introduce this issue: “These are disorienting times: we are learning to adjust to a new normal, to observe ever-shifting boundaries between what is safe and not safe, to live in the now but have hope for the then. In the meantime, we can ground ourselves in story, in poetry, in these pages. Welcome to the spring issue.” Reader’s can get a sampling of content on the Colorado Review website with works by Jen Stewart Fueston, Bern Mulvey, Catherine Kyle, Maggie Pahos, and Helena de Bres.
The Wallace Stevens Journal is devoted to all aspects of the poetry and life of American modernist poet Wallace Stevens and has been publishing scholarly articles, poems, book reviews, news, and bibliographies since 1977.

Eberly, R. S. Stewart, Millicent Borges Accardi, Robert Hammond Dorsett, John Surowiecki, and James Tropp.

EastOver Press, March 2022
Winner of the 2021 Eastover Prize for Nonfiction, This World Is Not Your Home includes essays ranging from third-person accounts to notes, instructions, and extended meditations, representing many of the possibilities available to the writer of creative nonfiction.

Written using a variety of forms and points of view, these essays show Vollmer’s dexterity of the form.

Wesleyan University Press, March 2022
ISBN: 9780819580702
Hardcover, 88pp; $35
In The Writing of an Hour, New York poet and teacher Brenda Coultas considers the effort and the deliberateness that brings her to her desk each day. Despite domestic and day job demands and widespread lockdown, Coultas takes the reader on a journey in four sections; from a bedroom to an improvised desk over the North Sea, where she attempts to create an artwork inside an airplane cabin flying over Greenland’s rivers of ice.

Horse Not Zebra
Poetry by Eric Nelson
Terrapin Books, April 2022
ISBN: 978-1-947896-54-3
Paperback, 94pp; $17
This newest collection of poems from writer and Georgia Southern University emeritus Eric Nelson captures the essence of everyday life through the lens of having been there, done that, and paid close attention. The title poem begins, “When med students are learning / how to diagnose symptoms, they’re told / think horse, not zebra – the common, no the exotic.” And though the subject matter may seem common by their titles, “My Alarm,” “Mulch,” “By Campfire,” and “Parade,” Nelson is able to lift these subjects up to the scrutiny of our own experiences, shared through his own, in ways that, while perhaps not exotic, resonate a sense of wholeness and completion. And there must be a story behind why bears appear repeatedly throughout.

Guest Post by Cindy Fazzi
A canoe is no speedboat, but Wayne Johnson’s The Red Canoe is a thrill of a ride. At the center of the novel are Buck, a carpenter, and fifteen-year-old Lucy. They are both Ojibwe living on the border of Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community reservation in Minnesota.
One afternoon, while Buck is building a boat in his garage, a girl in a dirty pink hoodie appears. Her name is Lucy, and she says: “I’d like to learn how to make boats.”

From the publication: “AGNI was founded fifty years ago, in 1972, by a Ukrainian-American writer and a group of his fellow writers at Antioch College. During Askold Melnyczuk’s thirty years at the helm, he infused the magazine with an abiding commitment to the work of Ukrainian writers and translators. Now, in response to the Russian invasion—and with Askold’s coordinating help—we will publish Ukrainian dispatches as we receive them.” In conjunction with this, AGNI has created an index of every publication written by Ukrainians and Ukrainian Americans. The list extends from AGNI 3 in 1974 to the upcoming AGNI 95. All linked titles are available to read online, and they will gradually be digitizing more of these.
The Prose Train is a unique online publication that is more than just a place to find great reading, it is also a place for young writers to engage in the writing process with other writers. The concept is in the name, according to Founder and Executive Director Irene Tsen, “’Prose’ refers to the short stories we create, and ‘Train’ refers to the collaborative aspect of how writers add sentences sequentially. Our slogan, ‘train your prose,’ is a rearrangement of our name, encapsulating how writers who join The Prose Train improve their skills with a different type of writing.”
