Thursday, Mar 27, 2025	Thursday, Mar 27, 2025 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM PDT	Wayfarers Written in the wake of the sudden disappearance of her nephew, Jane Medved’s award-winning Wayfarers tells of the struggle to process loss without any physical anchor. Threaded through these poems are clues to navigating our time on earth, as left for us by the Jewish Sages. Part memoir, part spiritual exploration, Wayfarers charts the journey from pre-birth, to life in the physical universe, to the departure of the spirit from the body—a path all human beings traverse. Wayfarers was selected for the 2024 Off the Grid Poetry Prize by poet Marianne Boruch, who has praised the astonishing breadth of these poems: “Nothing is left out of this book, not bafflement, not the horrific-gone-mundane too often now, not beauty regardless, not even astonishment. All mark our immediate ancient moment.” Exhibitor Name : Grid Books Booth Number: T326	Exhibitor Name : Grid Books Booth Number: T326	2025032715:0016:00 000	THU, MAR 27
Thursday, Mar 27, 2025	Thursday, Mar 27, 2025 1:00 PM - 1:30 PM PDT	Derek Mong: Book Signing for When the Earth Flies Into the Sun When the Earth Flies into the Sun weighs digitalization and ecological disasters against the joys of domesticity. Poems speak back to mass shooters and in the voice of cloud storage. They leap from Greek ruins to intergalactic finales, Nebraskan highways to Paleolithic Hominins first learning to speak. At the book’s center are two long poems, “Midnight Arrhythmia” and “A Poem for the Scoundrel Lucian Freud,” that ground these concerns—for art, the other, and the earth—in bodies. The former, addressed to the poet’s son, is part lullaby and part letter. It tries, like a will, to quantify what we leave behind. The latter, addressed to a painter, considers Caesarian birth, ekphrasis, and the casualties of parenting, for both Freud and the poet himself.

Thursday, Mar 27, 2025	Thursday, Mar 27, 2025 11:00 AM - 11:30 AM PDT	Melora Wolff What should we do with the things we inherit? In ten intimate essays as vivid as fiction and as varied as music, Melora Wolff’s Bequeath presents a flawed, funny, impressionable narrator who tries to solve the mysteries of bequeathed artifacts, family myths, and haunting mistakes—while also figuring out how to grow up in dangerous, glamorous 1970s New York City. With a wide range of voices—comic, lyric, collective, personal, joyful, and deeply elegiac—Wolff pays homage to her musician father and family as she roams a past rich with cultural touchstones and indelible characters, from West Side Story and Lost in Space to Leonard Bernstein and Gloria Steinem. Bequeath explores the legacies we impose and bestow on one another. Exhibitor Name : LSU Press Booth Number: 509	Exhibitor Name : LSU Press Booth Number: 509	2025032711:0011:30 000	THU, MAR 27

Gathered here in one volume are selections from Kane’s five previous collections, including her long-out-of-print first book and her subsequent winners of the National Poetry Series and Donald Justice Poetry Prize. Readers will also find a generous selection of new and previously uncollected work. The title of this milestone collection acknowledges Kane’s place in the tradition of women confessional poets, evokes the nickname of a common Louisiana flower, and nods to the honesty and frankness that characterize her poems’ speakers.

Thursday, Mar 27, 2025	Thursday, Mar 27, 2025 1:30 PM - 2:00 PM PDT	Olivia Clare Friedman Olivia Clare Friedman’s An Arm Fixed to a Wing seeks out the spiritual elements that haunt the everyday, the divine wing fastened to an earthly arm. Elegies and poems of nostalgia appear alongside pieces celebrating the speaker’s present moment, with the underlying knowledge that such moments slip past too easily. Several poems explore the theme of motherhood—the excitement and novelty, the routine and translucent sleeplessness. At the book’s center sits a sequence of narrative pieces, titled “Camera Poems,” exploring experiences of isolation, hopefulness, and self-awareness. While the poems in An Arm Fixed to a Wing acknowledge that loss is a constant, their tone is frequently wistful, evoking the desire to recover feelings of attentiveness and wonder toward one’s surroundings, both the mundane and the extraordinary.

Guided by this question, the poems in Nida Sophasarun’s Novice traverse natural, animal, and dream worlds, seeking intimacy in a snake coming in from the rain, a mother’s body imagined as a house, and the moon serving as both the missing piece and the linchpin in a night sky. Organized by tropical seasons and unfolding in Asia and the American South, Novice proposes that home is monumental and ruined, remembered and forgotten, local and diffuse, peopled and haunted.

Moving between short fragmented “answers” to the same lingering question, deconstructed haibun, and dream sequences, the speaker in Elsewhere: An Elegy cannot but help see himself as his own father, and his infant son as his own young self. He admits, “I’ve still not divined / how to unhusk this steadfast / grief from my poems.” Ultimately, he comes to recognize that the most healing way to grieve is to give, is to translate loss into generosity, pain into poetry.

Stop by and meet award-winning authors Tim Turner and Moisey Gorbaty, authors of “The Reluctant Conductor” The writer of the extraordinary, critically-acclaimed play, "Out Late," emerges with a powerful, emotionally reverberant debut novel that captures the hardship, oppression, and hope of a Jewish merchant’s life before, during and after World War II in the USSR. In a world mired in bigotry and hate, Elazar, a young Jewish violinist in search of redemptive love and transportive music, survives World War II in the Soviet Union. Drifting back and forth between Ukraine and Uzbekistan between 1922 and 1944, Elazar navigates wedding-night steam rooms and birch-branch floggings; rivers of refugees and rivers of blood; lice and typhoid and refugee tent camps; horse-drawn carriage rides through betrayal and death and flattened shtetls; and the small luxuries of the desperate, a simple plate of chicken and cabbage. But in this literary symphony, there is always, always, the ebb and flow of music, weaving in and out of a life lost in the terrifying wilderness, searching for family and home. With its romantic war-era setting, layered characters and captivating love story, readers care about learning if the hero finds what he is looking for.

Of his work, Steven Dunn said, "Daniel Simpson's excellent Inside the Invisible goes in and out of surprising places and makes matter-of-fact claims about love and loss feel like authentic discoveries. Having worked with him in the past, and thinking I had advance knowledge about what territory his new book was likelyto take on, I was pleased that several poems dealt with his guide dog and established the speaker of them as a blind man, often vulnerable and humorous. But it was the unforeseen that pleased and surprised me most: a complicated father, an unsuccessful first marriage, and wonderfully rendered scenes of flirtations and sex, and eventually of new love. Which is to say his book takes us inside the invisible to the lives most of us live."

Intimate and uncompromising, Rev. Julián Jamaica Soto’s debut collection Spilling the Light, is a luminous offering to their communities and a defiant declaration of their worth in a world hostile to their queer, disabled, and brown being. “America, is this freedom?” they ask. “I cannot prove to you that / I am a person,” writing boldly of identity, community, liberation, and erasure through a prism of tender moments and powerful reckonings. These are poems of broken hallelujahs and codes/witching, of hunger and fire, of hope and resilience. They are complex, tender, and empowering. They embolden us to become our truest selves, willing us to survive. Rev. Julián Jamaica Soto is the author of Spilling the Light from Skinner House Books in Boston. They are a Unitarian Universalist minister, activist, and organizer who currently serves as executive director of TRUUsT (Transgender Religious professional Unitarian Universalists Together). Rev. Julián Jamaica Soto was previously the lead minister of the first Unitarian church of Oakland in California. They believe in the truth, power, and are committed to our collective liberation and the healing of the world. They teach and art in that direction. Rev. Julián graduated from Meadville Lombard Theological School in 2016. Exhibitor Name : Speak Wild Booth Number: T1157	Exhibitor Name : Speak Wild Booth Number: T1157	2025032911:0012:00 000	SAT, MAR 29

Navigating life after his mother’s death, the speaker uses memory and imagination to understand, as one poem’s title declares, “How I Came to This.” Tender and trenchant, elegiac yet often livened by humor, Richard’s poems affirm the sustaining power of hope and love.

Friday, Mar 28, 2025	Friday, Mar 28, 2025 11:00 AM - 11:30 AM PDT	Dan Albergotti Dan Albergotti’s Candy is a book steeped in sound and silence. Sound in the form of song, of chaotic cacophony, and of the drone (sometimes natural, sometimes manufactured) that creates the ambient soundtrack of history and the seemingly apocalyptic present. Silence in the sense both of the void’s innate quietude and of the failure to speak—of people either dumbstruck or in denial, not speaking because they cannot or will not. Throughout this collection, these sounds and intermittent silences provide the rhythm for poems that question the nature of truth and myth, and that restlessly search for meaning in a reticent universe, ultimately unwilling to take no for an answer as they strive to find an ever-elusive yes.

This enthralling, career-spanning book by the National Book Award finalist David Kirby is made up mainly of new poems along with a generous number of older ones alternating with one another in nine sections that proceed, not chronologically, but more like chapters in a surreal memoir, with long poems followed by short poems, exploratory formats next to more traditional ones, straightforward poems cheek by jowl with ones that are more allusive.

Friday, Mar 28, 2025	Friday, Mar 28, 2025 11:00 AM - 11:30 AM PDT	David Romtvedt With Still on Earth, David Romtvedt addresses the sometimes disconcerting, sometimes thrilling, and, if we accept the writer’s premise, always wacky crossings experienced by figures identified as the person, the poet, and the angel. All three intersect and collide with the society and culture within which they exist, prompting speculation that uncertainty could be preferable to knowing. Romtvedt’s delightfully plainspoken and immediate poems probe the mysterious purpose of our stay on earth with humor, candor, and grace. A poem, the father in the book argues, is worth next to nothing. And while the son disagrees, having experienced transformation through language, he also recognizes that the poem cannot buy the groceries and pay the rent. Or perhaps it can and it’s just tricky. After having devoted years to writing, the poet remains uncertain and speculates that uncertainty is not so bad and is preferable to knowing. Between the person and the poet, Still on Earth presents the angel who seems to have the same father that the person and the poet had. The two fathers are too close for comfort. For the angel, we must imagine a being with no experience of the physical suddenly confronted with the demands of the body, a being both naïve and worldly—otherworldly. The angel has been here before. In Romtvedt’s reckoning, we all have. It’s just hard to remember.

Friday, Mar 28, 2025	Friday, Mar 28, 2025 1:30 PM - 2:00 PM PDT	André Naffis-Sahely For more than four decades, Michael Hofmann has made significant contributions to the literary cultures of Germany, the United Kingdom, and the United States, ranging from his original poetry to translations of Kafka, Brecht, Hans Fallada, and Joseph Roth, among others. In the first book-length study of this iconic figure, poet and translator André Naffis-Sahely surveys Hofmann’s life and work with an emphasis on his poetry, situating him within the “New Generation” of writers, including Carol Ann Duffy, Simon Armitage, and Don Paterson, who rose to prominence in Britain between the mid-1980s and the early 1990s. Reaffirming Hofmann’s central place in contemporary literature, Naffis-Sahely presents the author’s oeuvre as an “extended passport application,” as the poet’s unusually peripatetic nature emerges as a poetic means of questioning various modes of authority. Naffis-Sahely examines Hofmann’s chief literary influences, revealing that while he was heavily inspired by the example of Robert Lowell’s confessional model, his work was equally shaped by other poetic mentors, including Ian Hamilton and Hugo Williams. In turn, Hofmann’s five published volumes of poetry—from his debut Nights in the Iron Hotel to his latest collection, One Lark, One Horse, published after a silence of two decades—chronicle the poet’s sentimental and intellectual education from adolescence to middle age, as well as the traumatic emotional experiences that arose from his relationship with his father, the German novelist Gert Hofmann, whom the poet portrayed to shocking effect in his breakthrough second collection, Acrimony. Naffis-Sahely concludes his study with an analysis of the influence Hofmann has exerted on other poets, testifying to the value and importance of his work in the contemporary British tradition, followed by an extensive interview reflecting on his career.

Narrative but elliptical, The Goodbye Kit is awash in lyric that thrills as it laments. Themes of transgression and longing infuse these poems about girlhood, marriage, parenthood, aging, and nature. Mapping the charged terrain of human relationship, and marked by a feral sensuality, they explore ecologies of intimacy made tangible through both experience and witness. Their impulse is to capture and project beauty and loss, offering a view of our mutable and tender selves through “wolf-colored glasses,” revealing us as the beautiful, culpable animals we are.

In one life, Altagracia Sanchez is just another teenager longing to go to college In another, she is an adult with a thriving architecture career. In all lives, she hears voices, sees visions, and can't stop washing her hands. What kind of future can she possibly hope for? From the music-filled rooms of her childhood home in New Mexico, to the cold realities of college-life for someone not quite like everyone else, Altagracia's story is a time-bending family drama full of so much possibility. The lives that come to Altagracia slide in and out of memory, out of time. Where did the demon come from? And who is her doppelgänger? Oh, and Benny. No one else seems to know he's there. With so many intertwining moments all around her, so many voices, can you blame her for learning to mask herself, for seeking solitude? But why won't she answer the phone? As the everyday mingles with the extraordinary, Altagracia finds a life beyond what anyone could have hoped for her. And then one or two more. What does it matter if some of them are ones only she can see?

The severe landscapes move the speaker to investigate his romantic and familial relationships through lyric considerations of the natural world and scientific concepts. Like the seeds on the face of a sunflower, each poem is both whole and a piece of a whole. Mimicking this structure, or the “struggle of scale,” these poems combine love and science, and the product is both declaration and interruption, elusive and graspable, love and the deconstruction of love. In The Amateur Scientist’s Notebook, the friction between the stone and the mountain demonstrates the wonder generated in this struggle to become, to grow, and to change.

Saturday, Mar 29, 2025	Saturday, Mar 29, 2025 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM PDT	Elly Bookman signing for LOVE SICK CENTURY The sinister shadow of the late capitalist war machine falls on everything in Elly Bookman's debut collection, Love Sick Century. In the unforgettable early poem, "Privilege," the speaker sunbathes at a public pool beneath a sky filled with the "small whitenesses" of fighter jets rehearsing combat, and wryly notes: "I lie back in my chair [] and try to become browner." The irony is as casual as it is scalding, and from this atmosphere of discomfiting malaise the poem accelerates into something more bleak: In this sky, planes fly low and heavy, back and forth from the base, practicing war. I'm afraid I'm finally all right knowing good things in me have died. Is this cynicism? Perhaps. These are poems of airstrikes and warships, active shooter drills and students' "shadowy backpacks." (The poet is a teacher). Even in a poem titled "Threatless," when a male lover's hand cradles the back of the speaker's neck, something ominous menaces. But if the tone is one of cynicism, it's not the snide indifference or stony skepticism of the coarsened realist. Rather, it's the sort born of profound tenderness, and one that breeds tenderness in turn through its unfailing eye for beauty, mercy, and wonder, in spite of what it's learned about the world. In the poem "Vivarium," with all the earnestness of John Cusack's boombox serenade in Say Anything, the speaker plays a thunderstorm soundtrack to a pair of pet frogs, hoping to spur them to mate. In the poem "Clamor," amidst the bombardment of television war news, the speaker recalls a single perfect soap bubble hovering behind the back of a former lover as he washes the dishes. And in "Nocturne," the same hypervigilance that scrutinizes the lights on the home security system panel remembers too that "somewhere, someone's job/ is to place tiny bulbs inside/ plastic bodies, that/ someone else's is to decide/ that firefly color." Indeed, inside the desolate ennui of these pages, fireflies nonetheless still shimmer their plaintive SOS: "here am I./ Here am I." The best of these poems deftly captures a seething disquiet with a mastery I've not encountered since Arda Collins' virtuosic debut, It Is Daylight. Love Sick Century is both distress signal and emergency response; rest assured, help is on the way, if only these poems can find you.

Thursday, Mar 27, 2025	Thursday, Mar 27, 2025 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM PDT	Mary B. Moore - author of Amanda Chimera WINNER OF THE 2023 ARTHUR SMITH POETRY PRIZE Amanda Chimera by Mary B. Moore explores our hybrid nature as body and something else––mind, soul, spirit––through poems spoken by and about the persona Amanda. Haunted by her vanished twin, Gloria, who died in utero and some of whose DNA she absorbed, Amanda views herself as hybrid and thus as a monster, a carrier of the dead. Grounded in nature’s grace and variety, domestic life, and family dynamics, poems on art and myth focus on hybrid creatures, paralleling Amanda and Gloria. The sisters’ relationship is as varied as the poems’ tones: as Amanda says, she “likes a mixed diction.” Sometimes loving or sorrowful, sometimes witty and wry, the work revels in image and word music.

When Weldon Stepwell, bare-knuckled catcher for the Danville Little Johns and town florist, has his leg amputated in a wood-cutting accident, the team shows up on the hospital lawn to give blood, pray, and curse God. Mostly they gather to be with the stricken wife, daughter, and son and wait to see if their teammate will live through the night. One teammate is sent to retrieve the leg, and just what on earth do you do with such a thing? Rural Arkansas in 1950, they are men who’d just whipped Hitler and come home to play ball, volunteer firemen, rural mail carriers, the stray senator-to-be, hardware store workers, and fish farmers. Spanning three generations, they just can’t seem to outrun whatever it is that stalks their periphery. Finally, an adult grandson must contend with the Stepwell business in the form of a plague that comes on them and the world from nowhere. Quarantined between a gleaming football stadium on one side of the road and the city cemetery on the other, a moment comes when they must walk out under the sun and re-commune. A story that dives as deep as you like into the abyss, then fights its way out with all the hope and grace this life allows.

I hope you’ll come / though I am going anyway.” These poems peel back the layers of recovery as an adult from childhood sexual abuse, the myriad ways a body can change to protect itself from memory, and the difficulty of looking at abuse head-on. Taylor uses a poetics of reclamation to write the child-self from a perspective beyond trauma, to document the messiness of survival, the child’s flight from himself, and the uncertain path home—to a life filled with small and perfect things. Through hermit crabs and golden pothos, fungal gnats and beet seed, the speaker reclaims himself: “I am not lost . . . I know memory / is not healed by time, but / by the oddities / with which we adorn our lives, / the fragilities we need to know / we’re needed by.” Exhibitor Name : University of Arkansas Press Booth Number: 1136	Exhibitor Name : University of Arkansas Press Booth Number: 1136	2025032714:0014:30 000	THU, MAR 27

As her child expresses a fascination with death and violence, Kolchinsky struggles to process the war unfolding far away, on the same soil where so many of her ancestors perished during the Holocaust. Anchored by a series of poems that look to the moon, this collection explores displaced perspectives and turns to the celestial to offer meditations on how elements formed in distant stars account for so much of our human DNA. In these poems, writes series editor Patricia Smith, Kolchinsky “clutches at a feeling of home that is both unfamiliar and deeply treasured, longs for all that was left behind, struggles to come to terms with the rampant violence devastating a landscape that still, in so many encouraging and heartbreaking ways, belongs to her.” Exhibitor Name : University of Arkansas Press Booth Number: 1136	Exhibitor Name : University of Arkansas Press Booth Number: 1136	2025032814:0014:30 000	FRI, MAR 28
Friday, Mar 28, 2025	Friday, Mar 28, 2025 12:00 PM - 12:30 PM PDT	Spring and a Thousand Years (Unabridged) Book Signing Finalist, 2020 Miller Williams Poetry Prize A translator’s notebook, an almanac, an ecological history, Judy Halebsky’s Spring and a Thousand Years (Unabridged) moves between multiple intersections and sign systems connected in a long glossary poem that serves as the book’s guide to what is lost, erased, or disrupted in transition both from experience to written word and from one language, location, and time period to another. Writers Li Bai, Matsuo Basho, Sei Shonagon, and Du Fu make frequent appearances in centuries ranging from the eighth to the twenty-first, and appear in conversation with Grace Paley, Donald Hall, and Halebsky herself, as the poet explores subjects ranging from work and marriage to environmental destruction. Asking what would happen if these poets—not just their work—appeared in California, the poems slip between different geographies, syntaxes, times, and cultural frameworks. The role of the literary translator is to bring text from one language into another, working to at once shift and retain the context of the original—from one alphabet to another, one point in time to another. These are poems in homage to translation; they rely on concepts that can bridge time and space, and as a result are as likely to find meaning in donuts or Zumba as they are to find it in the ocean. Spring and a Thousand Years (Unabridged) finds reasons for hope not in how the world should be, but in how it has always been.

JULIE MARIE WADE is the author of many collections of poetry, prose, and hybrid forms, including the recent volumes Otherwise: Essays, selected by Lia Purpura for the 2022 Autumn House Nonfiction Book Prize, and Skirted: Poems.

Saturday, Mar 29, 2025	Saturday, Mar 29, 2025 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM PDT	Krystal Anali Vazquez signs Lady Without Land Krystal Anali Vazquez signs copies of her collection Lady Without Land / Señorita Sin Tierra. -Winner of The 2023 George Garrett Fiction Prize, selected by Manuel Muñoz Lady without Land is a story told in fragments about señorita who feels lost in and lost without Los Angeles. She uses classic literature and cocktail recipes to organize and populate bits and pieces of a life: growing up as a Mexican middle-class girl in a predominantly white suburb where neighbors labeled her family the “dirty” Mexicans; being bullied by an older sister on car rides from Los Angeles to Mexico, grappling with a father’s gambling addiction, and, later, his death; journeying on the continuous carousel of lovers the Pacific and Atlantic coasts have to offer. A shaken and stirred abecedarian, a sloppy yet put-together künstlerroman, about charting one’s life path amid cultural pressures and the grip of the ever-present past, the book can be read forwards or backwards and, with any hope, completely out of sequence so that no reader can read this novel the same way twice. KRYSTAL ANALI VAZQUEZ is a writer and an attorney from Los Angeles living in Brooklyn. Her work navigates the roads in the México lindo of her family’s past and present with those above the border. She holds degrees from Loyola Marymount University, Georgetown, and Columbia Law School. At Georgetown, she was a fellow in the Lannan Center for Poetics and Social Practice. As part of her legal practice, she is a member of her firm’s team that defends the legality of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. Lady without Land is her first novel.

Friday, Mar 28, 2025	Friday, Mar 28, 2025 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM PDT	Raye Hendrix signs What Good Is Heaven Raye Hendrix signs copies of her poetry collection, What Good Is Heaven. Set in a rural agricultural community in north Alabama, deep in the Appalachian foothills, What Good is Heaven interrogates the complicated relationship between violence and love. Viewed through the lens of a young, bisexual woman, the poems in this collection layer a queer coming-of-age narrative with poems of witness to the difficult realities not only of rural and farm life, but of violent cultural norms based around the patriarchal religious beliefs that the region is steeped in. Like the social setting of this place, the landscape, with its dark forests and darker hollers, is a space of turbulence—of ideas butting up against each other—and those in the middle are left to sort out the wreckage. This collection is concerned with navigating that wreckage, which predominantly manifests as violence done to bodies. For the speaker of these poems, the bodily harm done to livestock and wild animals, plant life, and even the earth itself as simply part of the justifiable or “acceptable” violence of farm life comes to mirror the mirror the bodily transgression queer folks and women face in her community—violence that is similarly considered to be “acceptable.” In registers that move between the religious, personal, political, and even ecocritical, What Good is Heaven asks what it means to love and be loved by what hurts you, to be implicated in perpetuating the same kinds of harm, and what it means to call such a complicated place your home. The TRP Southern Poetry Breakthrough Series: Alabama RAYE HENDRIX is the author of the chapbooks Fire Sermons (Ghost City Press, 2021) and Every Journal is a Plague Journal (Bottlecap Press, 2021). Her poems appear in American Poetry Review, Poetry Northwest, 32 Poems, Cimarron Review, and elsewhere. The winner of the 2019 Keene Prize for Literature and the 2018 Patricia Aakhus Award (Southern Indiana Review), they have also received fellowships from Bread Loaf, the Oregon Humanities Center, and the Juniper Writing Institute.

Poet Suzanne Cleary, author of Crude Angel, says this about Elizabeth Burk’s new poetry collection, “Unmoored is both existentially serious and massively entertaining.” It is arranged loosely in the form of a memoir—as a New Yorker who married a Cajun, Burk lives part-time in southwest Louisiana and has published two chapbooks describing this experience, Learning to Love Louisiana and Louisiana Purchase. This new collection includes many poems from these chapbooks as well as new poems that focus on aging—on getting through the last stretch of life with grace and humor. Burk has compiled her work into a poetic memoir of a life well-lived and well-examined for all of its eccentricities and triumphs. Undoubtedly, Unmoored can be counted among the latter. Part of The Sabine Series in Literature. ELIZABETH BURK is a psychologist and a native New Yorker who divides her time between her family in New York and a home and husband in southwest Louisiana. She is the author of three previous collections: Learning to Love Louisiana, Louisiana Purchase, and Duet: Poet & Photographer, a collaboration with her photographer husband, Leo Touchet. Her poems, prose pieces, and reviews have been published in various journals and anthologies including Atlanta Review, Rattle, Southern Poetry Anthology, Louisiana Literature, Passager, Pithead Chapel, ONE ART, PANK, and elsewhere.

J. Kennedy Poetry Prize, selected by Richard Blanco In The Book of Drought, Rob Carney skips ahead to the ending, setting his unnamed Listen-Recorder in a near-future landscape newly wrecked by drought. Instead of water: dead lakebeds. Instead of wild animals: bones. The sky is now cloudless, and the city’s faucets are dry. No one has adjusted yet, but some gather in an empty river to grieve, remember, and to tell their stories, the stories that become this book. Part dystopian warning, part dry-humor protest, part mythology and song—get ready for some sad-mad beauty, but with open-eyed hope. ROB CARNEY is the author of eight previous books of poems, most recently Call and Response (Black Lawrence Press 2021) and The Book of Sharks (Black Lawrence 2018), which won the 15 Bytes Book Award. He is a recipient of the Milton Kessler Memorial Prize in Poetry, the Robinson Jeffers/Tor House Foundation Award for Poetry, and he has written a featured series called “Old Roads, New Stories” for the award-winning online journal Terrain.org for the last nine years.

What does it mean to be in a place and out of place at the same time? Gabrielle Civil explores this question by making black feminist performance art in Mexico. She asks unsuspecting Mexicans if they have good hair, visits legendary black expatriate artist Elizabeth Catlett, celebrates Obama’s first election with mariachis, embarks on love affairs, dresses up as a Mexican doll, and christens herself with Negrita rum. Archiving her 2008-2009 Fulbright fellowship project, In and Out of Place combines diary entries, images, performance texts, critical commentary, and current reflections. Civil explores—and expands—the parameters of her own body, artistic process, heritage, and culture. She retraces—and activates—her trajectory as a black woman artist in the world. Part of the Innovative Prose series, edited by Katie Jean Shinkle. GABRIELLE CIVIL is a black feminist performance artist, poet, and writer, originally from Detroit, MI.

Set in rural Michigan, tether & lung embraces a level of honest sensuality and vulnerability as a heterosexual woman grapples with the needs of her own body while her closeted homosexual husband seeks solace in the animals he loves—his horses—directing the othering he feels within himself towards his wife and children. These poems probe the nature of relationships where emotional extremes are often held in tension and betrayals are not easily healed or resolved. Here, compassion and contempt face one another, asking difficult questions concerning gender, alienation, child-rearing, domestic violence, and divorce. KIMBERLY ANN PRIEST is the winner of the 2024 Backwaters Prize in Poetry from the University of Nebraska Press for her book Wolves in Shells and the author of Slaughter the One Bird (Sundress Publications), finalist for the 2021 American Best Book Awards.

The sum of these affidavits, arrayed across the lyric and narrative lines of these poems, is an electrifying human choir—male and female, child and adult, Irish and American—their voices rising out of shame, poverty, absurdity, violence, a strained Catholic faith, and a virulent legacy of madness and alcoholism. Free of nostalgia and cant, with a sharp Irish wit that often braves nearly monstrous subject matter, and reported with eyes that seldom mist over, Barley Child is a volume that once again confirms Greg Rappleye as a poet of witness.

The little-known incident was dubbed the Chelan Falls Massacre. Despite having lived in the area for more than thirty years, Spagna had never before heard of this event. She set out to discover exactly what happened and why. Consulting historians, archaeologists, Indigenous elders, and even a grave dowser, Spagna uncovers three possible versions of the event: Native people as perpetrators. White people as perpetrators. It didn’t happen at all. Pushed: Miners, a Merchant, and (Maybe) a Massacre replaces convenient narratives of the American West with nuance and complexity, revealing the danger in forgetting or remembering atrocities when history is murky and asking what allegiance to a place requires.

In September of 1885, the Chinese coal miners who were brought in as strikebreakers were ambushed and driven out of the town at gunpoint by white coal miners. Bitter Creek revisits this dark episode—known today as the Rock Springs Massacre—revealing the stories beneath this violent, decade-long culmination of labor struggles and racial hostilities in the Union Pacific Coal Mines. Through the eyes of the struggling workers, their families, and the corporation working them to the bone, Teow Lim Goh creates an ode to buried history that blends epic tradition with modern composition and astonishing empathy to ask the question, “What turns ordinary people into monsters?” Exhibitor Name : Western Colorado University Booth Number: 722	Exhibitor Name : Western Colorado University Booth Number: 722	2025032812:3013:00 000	FRI, MAR 28

Guided by the voice of the author's inner child, she explores the possibility of childhood memories and reminiscence. Questions are asked even if they're not able to be answered. One question that always remains is, how can people blossom in a world that isn't built for people to do so under capitalism and trauma? Is this the house that we are supposed to live and love in? Is home found in our bodies, in bowls of fruit, in different corners of the Earth? The Day the Flowers Bloomed searches for these answers and creates a playground to daydream in, to find connection and to find the Self. This book goes back and forth between English and Spanish to capture the totality of the author's voice and to give space for others to do the same.

In 1782, a renegade Pennsylvania militia killed ninety-six pacificist Christian Delawares (Lenapes) in Ohio. Those who escaped, including Indigenous eyewitnesses, relayed their accounts of the atrocity. Like Layli Longsoldier’s Whereas and Simon Ortiz’s from Sand Creek, Low delves into a critical incident of Indigenous peoples’ experiences. Readers will explore with the poet how trauma persists through hundreds of years, and how these peoples have survived and flourished in the subsequent generations.

Powell. One Needful Song casts spells of transformation: the tongues of songbirds turned out in delicate and sweet spice, the hearth of the home becoming the heart of the home, the roof of scorched Notre Dame healing beneath its tarp. There is such a sense of hope and renewal in these ecopoetic elegies, in which bee, blossom, and bird are restored, family and strangers alike are redeemed, and though there are storms, there is also a dream of outlasting them. This book is a kind of miracle. —D. A.

Friday, Mar 28, 2025	Friday, Mar 28, 2025 3:00 PM - 3:30 PM PDT	Chased by Lunacies and Wonders This original poetry collection by Brad Crenshaw was selected by Dorianne Laux as the winner of the 2023 Poetry Prize for West Coast Poets. As its title suggests, Chased by Lunacies and Wonders, the poems in this generous book both condemn and praise, grieve and rejoice, negate and affirm the world with all its majestic extremities. In language by turns colloquial and exultant, the poet acknowledges the lunacies that assault our contemporary social life, haunted by the fires torching California, climate changes altering the conditions for life itself, and the worldwide quarantines and national death counts of pandemic disease. The poems are visionary, and glimmer with amplitude and enormous generosity. He holds imagined conversations with various Western writers, both living and dead, to envision a workable cultural valuation, accusing Homer of having “the ethics of a predator,” while praising Virginia Woolf who “erupts again with visions, bursts again with surprising voices.” He overhears Lucifer exclaim, “As we know, the world is fucking magical.” Crenshaw would agree. The journey through this wild collection concludes with the poet reviewing his most intimate relationships, his long marriage, and affirms their decisions to bring children into the flawed generous created world, full of crazy people, saints and devils, and most of us just trying to get by.

"No novelist captured the relentless devastation of the Dust Bowl of the 1930s, or the cruel treatment of the desperate 'Okies' forced to leave their homes on the Plains for California, better than Sanora Babb. In this biography, Iris Jamahl Dunkle explains why. Hardship, hunger and struggle, discrimination and stubborn prejudice, big dreams thwarted by fate and bad luck––these were also recurring elements of Babb's own remarkable personal story. But she met it all with an indomitable will, a vivaciously free spirit, and an unbending devotion to her artistic vision.

Thursday, Mar 27, 2025	Thursday, Mar 27, 2025 9:30 AM - 11:30 AM PDT	Meet Judy Juanita, author of the novel Virgin Soul A novel of a young woman's life with the Black Panthers in 1960s San Francisco At first glance, Geniece’s story sounds like that of a typical young woman: she goes to college, has romantic entanglements, builds meaningful friendships, and juggles her schedule with a part-time job. However, she does all of these things in 1960s San Francisco while becoming a militant member of the Black Panther movement. When Huey Newton is jailed in October 1967 and the Panthers explode nationwide, Geniece enters the organization’s dark and dangerous world of guns, FBI agents, freewheeling sex, police repression, and fatal shoot-outs—all while balancing her other life as a college student. A moving tale of one young woman’s life spinning out of the typical and into the extraordinary during one of the most politically and racially charged eras in America, Virgin Soul will resonate with readers of Monica Ali and Ntozake Shange.

Pulp into Paper Paperback – April 22, 2024 by Lenore Weiss (Author) "Pulp to Paper is an engaging, disturbing and sometimes humorous novel exposing a calcified network of corruption between a company (Rand-Atlantic) and the government (EPA) in a small Southern town where 'the stink [is] the smell of money.' Weiss's talent for detail is extraordinary as she takes us into the homes, sandwich shops and hydrogen-sulfide infested creeks of East Hentsbury with its unforgettable cast of characters." -Leslie Kirk Campbell Winner of the Tartt Fiction Prize at the University of West Alabama [UWA], Judy Juanita's short story collection was published by Livingston Press [UWA] in 2022. In a starred review, Kirkus Reviews states: these "short stories set in Northern California and the New York metropolitan area raise plenty of questions without offering easy answers [about] questions of belonging, equity, love, and responsibility." One of the stories titled "The Black House" was nominated for a Pushcart Prize in 2022.

Saturday, Mar 29, 2025	Saturday, Mar 29, 2025 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM PDT	Book signing by Judy Juanita, author of Homage to the Black Arts Movement Judy Juanita uses four genres to scrutinize the seminal Black Arts Movement (BAM). Larry Neal described the movement in 1968: “Black Art is the aesthetic and spiritual sister of the Black Power concept....in the [works] of Afro--American dramatists, poets, choreographers, musicians, and novelists.”This handbook joins four literary genres - poetry, essay, fiction and drama -to assay the seminal BAM which funneled a new voice and visibility for poets, writers, intellectuals, performing and visual artists. The author, in her late teens, participated as it created venues, publications, productions, opened doors to academia. In 1969, after obtaining her B.A. in psychology, Juanita was appointed to teach Black Psychology and Black Journalism in the nation's first black studies department at SFSU, chaired by Dr. Nathan Hare. Juanita's novel, Virgin Soul, is about a young black woman coming of age in the 1960s who joins the Black Panther Party in the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Area. The author, like the novel's main character, was born and raised in Berkeley and Oakland and met Huey Newton and Bobby Seale when she entered college at age 16.Excerpted from Virgin Soul here is "The Black House" ; the play/film script, "Life is a Carousel," about a black academic, Layla, on her way to a Black studies conference, who meets the forgotten founder of Black Studies, Diahlo Green. They meet at the convention where blatant disregard for him continues by a whole new generation of academics. At issue is the relevancy of the Academy, Black Studies and the struggle. At each step of the way, the new, including LGBTQ professors, crushes the old. In the essay selection, "Five Comrades in The Black Panther Party, 1967-1970," Juanita, a former Panther, looks back at her youthful participation in the most influential black revolutionary organization of the late 1960s.The poetry selection, "(not) forgotten man," is a sonnet about a seminal figure, Amiri Baraka, from the 1960s.

In an extraordinary act of volition, the author does not stop at the trope of ambition, but powers instead toward the urgent concerns of the will, and intention. In Drive, Sexton explores our most fragile points of connection—to lovers and family, to the living and the dead, and to oneself, one’s own life’s work—with the care and wisdom of one who knows these roads. In her hands, these delicate boundaries become navigable. They are both her route and her destination.

This poet attends to the bare reality of trauma and its aftermath, the challenge of navigating life “without a field guide / to identify who I am or where I’m flying.” But if these poems focus on an individual healing process, they also surprise with their wide variety of subjects and tones, as with their depiction of a contemporary America marked by “reactionary blisters” as well as subtle beauties. At the center of the collection lies this poet’s unsentimental yet deeply joyful regard for the natural world that she portrays with vivid originality. Immersing herself and her reader in this ecology, Robinson ultimately returns to the human world with a new, hard-won tenderness.

For the poet, such landscapes are models for damage control, a potential source of hope, and perhaps endurance, in an age of ongoing ecological disaster. In her stunning fifth collection, Flood Plain, Lisa Sewell finds fertile ground on which to examine the urgent questions of our age: What does it mean to live on a dying planet? How are we, as humans, meant to respond? And how, at last, can we grieve? The poems of Flood Plain might be put forward as a type of evidence, data or samples carefully collected for study. But they are also much more than this—they are the poet's own testimonies, first-hand records revealing, page after page, her powers of observation and witness. “The flood plain is a field again,” Sewell writes in “Restorative Justice,” a reminder that natural disasters take many forms. “The flowers will last until the first snow / of winter as everything conspires / to bury us in what we couldn’t see or imagine.” Indeed, poetry may be our flood plain: the site on which we absorb these truths, and the means to process the weight of it all.

Talent, hard work, and leadership pushed that door wide open. When schools first integrated in the 1950s, Geoffrey Newman became one of the few Black children in an all-white school. His teachers told him he was destined for failure, for no reason other than the color of his skin. Geoffrey Newman proved them all wrong. Better to Cry Now chronicles Geoffrey’s road to success in arts education, from discovering his artistic talent while also succeeding academically, to pioneering a theater program for an up-and-coming college, to becoming chair of the drama department for Howard University, to ultimately serving as dean for the entire arts program at Montclair State University, nurturing many stars along the way. In sharing his story, Geoffrey also shares the challenges of persevering despite racial prejudice and coming out to the world as a gay man in a loving, committed relationship. With this insightful memoir, Geoffrey shows us the grit and grace needed to forge our path, define our own success, and stay true to who we are.

Boldly lyrical and fiercely honest, Chrome Valley offers an intricate portrait of Black womanhood in America. “We praise their names / & the hands that write / Praise the mouth that speaks,” she writes in tribute to those who came before her. Browne's characters grapple with the legacies of inherited trauma but also revel in the beauty of the undaunted self-determination passed down from Black woman to Black woman. Transcendent and grounded, funny and furious, Chrome Valley brings depth to a movement, solidifying Mahogany L. Browne as one of the most significant poetic voices of our time. Exhibitor Name : W.W.

Friday, Mar 28, 2025	Friday, Mar 28, 2025 1:00 PM - 1:30 PM PDT	Jonathan Chou: Book Signing for Resemblance Through experiments in form and syntax, Resemblance builds structures of (un)recognizability and (il)legibility in its attempt to create spaces where new meanings, new uses of language, and new selves may emerge. In the process, Chou uncovers his family’s relationship to traumatic moments in Taiwan’s modern history, in particular the period of martial law known as the White Terror and the “228 Incident” of February 28, 1947, in which as many as 28,000 civilians were killed by soldiers of the Nationalist government under Chiang Kai-shek. Throughout the collection, Chou draws on archival research and images, including a discovery of a misattributed image, to critique the role of photography and visual culture more broadly in both mediating access to and misrepresenting buried histories and generational trauma. Sweeping in scope and filled with fragments, beyonds, and restricted areas, Chou’s debut collection longs less for facts than a renewed relationship to loss and longing itself.

In Apocryphal Poems, Tony Barnstone tells all the truth, but tells it slant, creating a world like ours but seen refracted in a slightly skewed mirror. Here are imaginary sciences, apocryphal religions, our mortality sprouting into new life, strange philosophies. Here is the Buddha as a flight of neutrinos, beach partiers in Florida as stars being swallowed by a black hole, the beast of the Apocalypse emerging from the labyrinth in the guise of AI, love manifesting as oxytocin and vasopressin, those groovy hormones. “Everything possible to be believed is an image of truth” writes William Blake, and in the refracting mirror of these poems our world shatters to reflect our strangeness, multiplicity and changing masks of life in the 21st century. Tony Barnstone teaches at Whittier College and is the author of 23 books and a music CD. His forthcoming critical book is Cyborg Modernism: William Carlos Williams, Technoscience and the Arts. He is currently working on a libretto for an opera. Exhibitor Name : Whittier College Booth Number: T263	Exhibitor Name : Whittier College Booth Number: T263	2025032709:0015:30 000	THU, MAR 27
Thursday, Mar 27, 2025	Thursday, Mar 27, 2025 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM PDT	Free Tarot Readings from The Radiant Tarot: Pathway to Creativity Author Tony Barnstone and artist Alexandra Eldridge will be available all days of the conference to give 10 minute tarot readings from The Radiant Tarot. This tarot is based on years of research into the neuroscience of creativity and is the perfect deck for creatives of any sort.

Learn how to create the tools that you need for professional media outreach, platform building, book tour/event planning and so much more.

Saturday, Mar 29, 2025	Saturday, Mar 29, 2025 12:30 PM - 1:00 PM PDT	Author Signing for Sleepaway: Novel It’s 1984, and the invisible mists are falling, mists that cause people to slip into dreamless slumber—sleeps from which most, but not all, awaken. Those who do wake live in fear of the next mist, and the next, each a little longer and more dangerous than the last. Alternating between the perspectives of a waitress named Cora and her twelve-year-old friend Glass, Sleepaway depicts a small-town America turned alarming. This is a place where loved ones are lost to a state between life and death; where denial, delusion, and desperation take hold of those remaining; where dealers of the antisleep drug Eight Track disappear into shadows, and a murderous wannabe kingpin hunts for victims. An allegory for post-pandemic America, Sleepaway grapples with questions concerning friendship, race, and family amid the horror of inexplicable, arbitrary annihilation.

Thursday, Mar 27, 2025	Thursday, Mar 27, 2025 3:00 PM - 3:30 PM PDT	Author Signing for Dual: Poems In his fourth poetry collection, Matthew Minicucci examines masculinity and gun violence as he brings to life the grammatical concept of the dual, a number that is neither singular nor plural. Though now lost in English, the concept is present in other languages both extant and ancient. The poems’ forms fittingly include the elegy, palinode, and contrapuntal, which is both a single poem and two poems intertwined. They align contemporary moments with key texts from Western literature, including ancient Greek epics, in a way that helps us reconsider the aggression of young men. “The world kills kind boys,” Minicucci writes, and “we bury the bodies inside men.” Exhibitor Name : The Cincinnati Review Booth Number: 307	Exhibitor Name : The Cincinnati Review Booth Number: 307	2025032715:0015:30 000	THU, MAR 27

With influences like Alberto Ríos and Ray Gonzalez on one hand, and James Tate and Charles Baudelaire on the other, the collection spectacularly combines “high” art and folk art in a way that collapses those distinctions: van Gogh and Beethoven share the page with tattoos, graffiti, and rancheras; Quetzalcoatl shows up at Panda Express; a Mexican American child who has never had a Mexican American teacher may become that teacher; a parent’s “broken” English is beautiful and masterful. Blending reality with dream and humility with hope, Hernandez Diaz contributes a singing strand to the complex cultural weave that is twenty-first-century poetry.

Lofton ('23) for a signing of their poetry collection, "boy maybe". About "boy maybe" 51 achingly eloquent poems from a young Cave Canem fellow: W. J. Lofton’s verses explore Black queer Southern identity, grief, love, and intimacy while enduring and witnessing unfreedom in America. W. J. Lofton writes vivid, accessible poems that channel the energy, urgency, ambitions, joys, and sorrows of a young Black queer artist. They are about love and flirtation, sweet tea and hot sauce, God and family, life and death, police brutality and extrajudicial killings. His verses honor some of the young lives extinguished by these killings—Breonna Taylor, Kendrick Johnson, Ahmaud Arbery. He also pays tribute to some of the towering figures of Black culture who have come before him—Richard Pryor, Assata Shakur. His style is endlessly propulsive, informed by some of the Harlem Renaissance greats—Langston Hughes, Gwendolyn Brooks—but also transforming that rich tradition for the present day. About W.J. Lofton W. J. Lofton, a Chicago-born poet and multimodal artist, is the author of "A Garden for Black Boys Between the Stages of Soil and Stardust". His work explores the intersections of race, class, and gender while focusing on Black queer men’s attempts at intimacy and the tensions and wonders of boyhood. Lofton has received fellowships from Cave Canem and Emory University. A recipient of Ava DuVernay’s LEAP Grant, his work has appeared in TIME, wildness, Obsidian, and Scalawag. He lives in Atlanta, Georgia, where he co-curates Rebellion: A Writing Salon.

Friday, Mar 28, 2025	Friday, Mar 28, 2025 10:30 AM - 11:00 AM PDT	Author Signing for Scream / Queen: Poems Scream / Queen, CD Eskilson’s debut poetry collection, examines queerness, mental illness, and transgender identity through the lens of thrillers and B movies. The Creature from the Black Lagoon, Michael Myers, and the Headless Horseman are just a few of the fright-film villains and monsters that populate this book. Eskilson’s formally innovative poems document how a body—a nonbinary transgender body, a chronically ill body, a body carrying trauma—can be understood, accepted, and healed even in a violent sociopolitical climate. Drawing on the language and images of horror cinema, the poems’ speakers find strength and the means to survive both family legacy and the pain inflicted on them. Scream / Queen ultimately conjures a world of hope and tenderness through connection and care. It celebrates all the body’s possibilities: the glorious and the monstrous.

Reading As Man Is to God is like watching a master jeweler carve Mount Rushmore. We stare wide-eyed as the maniacal miniaturist brings o? his magnum opus, one deft, hilarious touch at a time.

Like a lightning strike through a storm of chaos, these poems deliver beauty and brutality in a single breath. Hoodlum phrases lurk in the shadows, itching for a fight. Zimmerman’s work is like a shifting prism — its meaning morphing with the turn of a page. A kind of fore-edge painting, its images revealing themselves in layers and angles: black holes, forgiving light, and everything in between. A mythology of collision and collage, these pages pulse with strange magic that demands a rare, bloody offering. When Guy Zimmerman invites you into a dream, get on the horse. It’s a ride worth taking.” -Juli Crockett, actress, composer, The Evangenitals GUY ZIMMERMAN is an award-winning writer, director and producer. He has served as artistic director of Padua Playwrights since 2001. Under his direction this LA-based company has staged over twenty-eight productions of new plays, including three in New York City and three abroad, that have garnered a host of LA Weekly, Ovation, Garland, and Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle awards and nominations. Zimmerman has edited a six-volume anthology series for Padua Press, distributed nationally by TCG. Previously, Zimmerman wrote for network television, including the shows Cracker, The Pretender and Wonderland. His own plays include La Clarita, The Inside Job, Vagrant and The Black Glass. His articles and essays about film, theater, art, science and politics have been published in LA Weekly, LA Theater Magazine, Backstage West, LA Citizen, Cyrano's Journal, Bedlam Magazine and, most recently, the arts and culture website Times Quotidian.

Returning to the fabular tone of Zabelle, her popular first novel, Kricorian conjures up the lost worlds and intergenerational traumas that haunt a family in permanent exile. Leavened with humor and imbued with the timelessness of a folktale, The Burning Heart of the World is a sweeping saga that takes readers on an epic journey from the mountains of Cilicia to contemporary New York City.

Luxuries, yeah right. So many times she witnessed these same ‘super mums’ spending the Labour Day weekend before school starts partying it up at some casino or nightclub. She’s had to play ‘nurturing mum’ and ease their kids anxieties at the start of school because their real mothers were talking on the phone. Ok, I am not a mom but if I was is it asking too much to get the kids ready the weekend before they start school? The hypocrisy of human kind.

I can’t walk into the principal’s office and tell them one of the teachers is spending too much time with a student. They will brush it off and say that the kid needs extra help or something. At five o’clock my daughter is in dance,” the janitor said with a wide smile. “It’s expensive as hell but I don’t need a teacher filling her head and wasting her time. Doesn’t Ms. Pointe have her own family to chat with? My advice is next time you see Mandy; walk her home, take her to the mall. I would rather see Mandy hanging out with other kids than her alone with Ms. Pointe. I know Ms. Pointe wouldn’t do anything physically but you young people are too impressionable at this age.

Moving from childhood's luminous moments to the raw territories of grief, these elegies for his parents and sister transform personal sorrow into a larger meditation on how family shapes and haunts us: “They were gone for good. They light my way.” With remarkable tenderness, Douthat explores the ways we carry those we've lost, finding in memory not just pain but also unexpected mercy. From California beach towns to New England woodlands, these poems remind us that even our deepest wounds can open into moments of startling beauty and revelation.

With experimental arrangements of text and deep sonic resonance, Chaney affirms herself a virtuoso of transforming stories of identity, marginalization, and race into landscapes at once beautiful and heartbreaking. Part traditional lyric, part dynamic geometric proof, the book invites readers into a concrete collaborative experience. “I want to tell you a story,” Chaney writes, and that story is a sweeping exploration of what it means to be a person of color in today’s America. “every story is the same: you trying to erase what I am.” Chaney counters each erasure by pushing imagination to the edge of the page—quite literally—where words swarm and reform, not unlike watching a flock of starlings move through evening skies. there was this bird turns stone, pebble, lake, and person into a new landscape—one of possibility, of visual art, of song.

In the heart of Idaho's Salmon River Mountains, a woman unknowingly begins what becomes a journey of understanding. Haunted by personal loss and the complex history of the American West, she seeks beauty and understanding at alpine lakes, beside wild rivers, crosscountry skiing, on trails, and with her dogs. Here, amidst granite peaks and endangered beings, she confronts the challenges and awe of nature, the ethics of hunting, the past, an uncertain future, and the depths of her own being. As she navigates physical and emotional landscapes, she grapples with questions of identity, belonging, and the delicate balance between humanity and the wild. This is more than a personal narrative; it is a powerful call for environmental awareness, the feminine, understanding of history, and a celebration of beauty. With unflinching honesty, CMarie Fuhrman examines the complexities of history, the sacredness of the land, and the urgent need to protect our wild spaces. These essays resonate with a deep reverence for Indigenous people, history, and the natural world. They will speak to anyone who has found refuge in nature, wrestled with the past, or dared to envision a brighter tomorrow.

In this five-part testimony Lory Bedikian reconstructs the father figure, mother figure, and the self. Using a sestina, syllabics, prose poems, and longer poetic sequences, Bedikian creates elegies for parents lost and self-elegiac lyrics and narratives for living with illness. Often interrupted with monologues and rants, the poems grapple with the disorder of loss and the body’s failures. Ultimately, Bedikian contemplates the concept of fate, destiny (jagadakeer), and the excavation of memory—whether to question familial inheritance or claim medical diagnoses.

In Sweet Nothing Kazim Ali finds, just beneath the details of daily life, the presence of spiritual reality. A corner of the street, a gesture of the hand, the pattern on a rug, all act as evidence of a generative emptiness. Sweet Nothing documents those details in a language of charmed engagement, and claims language, whether prayer, monologue, or poem, as our most prized of veils over the abyss, as the beauty that grows from sweet nothing and the technique of linking one life with another. Ali’s passionate attention explores the lyric truth of being alive, moment by moment.

Searching for clues in the work of her literary foremothers, Lipson untangles what it means to be a girl, a woman, a lover, a partner, a daughter, and a mother in a world all too ready to reduce us to stock characters. Whether she’s testing the fragile borders of fidelity, embracing the taboo power of female friendship, escaping her family for the solitude of the mountains, or letting go of the children she imagined for the ones she’s raising, Lipson pushes beyond the easy, surface stories we tell about ourselves to brave less certain territory. Risky and revealing, nourishing and affirming, rigorous and sexy, Mothers and Other Fictional Characters is a shimmering love letter to our forgotten selves—and the ones we’re still becoming.

Friday, Mar 28, 2025	Friday, Mar 28, 2025 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM PDT	Mark Neely signs Late Stage "What a remarkable sensibility lives in Mark Neely’s Late Stage, at times cynical and witty, at times filled with awe at an America that is at once beautiful and uncanny and more than a little frightening. Here is ‘the mayor’s blue campaign sign in the gun store window.’ Here is a ‘Tupperware blue sky.’ Here are ‘turkey buzzards hunched like crash victims on the water tower’s whitewashed railing.’ Neely’s is a mind keen in observation, able to construct lines of poetry that slice into each other, that make sparks. More than that, his work has a kind of musical dexterity and intelligence that I rarely encounter, always revealing itself on its own energetic and brilliant terms." --Kevin Prufer Exhibitor Name : River Teeth / Ball State University Booth Number: 922	Exhibitor Name : River Teeth / Ball State University Booth Number: 922	2025032814:0015:00 000	FRI, MAR 28

Brothers playing war games against an enigmatic foe. The modern-day son of Odysseus hiding in a cloud of blunt smoke in the garage while predators lurk within and without. In his debut collection, Christopher Brunt deploys a restlessly inventive array of forms and voices, from the philosophical to the feverishly surreal, giving us artists who overdose on their own desire, prophets who sing the kingdom’s collapse from strip club booths and from behind the bars of death row. Profane, ecstatic, vulnerable, and fluent in as many literary registers as there are angles in a mirrored room, WAR AT HOME is autobiography written in myth.

Written in a season of wildfire smoke punctuated by gunfire, grieving, and a child’s questioning spirit, the book moves to the countervailing rhythms of household, eros, pleasure and charm, casting a wayward grin at the catastrophic comedy of our days. Though he’s not really that tough, Jared Stanley rides elemental tones through “the desert roses, semi-wilted, wonderful, yellowed, well, you know / suffering to cover the suffering.” Exhibitor Name : Saturnalia Books Booth Number: 619	Exhibitor Name : Saturnalia Books Booth Number: 619	2025032814:0014:30 000	FRI, MAR 28

Maya Tevet Dayan’s poems, through Jane Medved's translation, transport the reader to a world where past, present and future all want a seat at the table. The speaker is a wife and mother, but also a nomad and a wanderer, continually searching for her place in the world. Accompanying her on this journey are generations of women: grandmothers, daughters and her own mother, who died from cancer. They advise, admonish and applaud her. They hand down wisdom, then suggest that the speaker might want to wash the floor. In language that is deceptively simple, Tevet Dayan traverses the seen and the unseen with equal dexterity. She reminds us that the universe is perched precariously, there are unequal measures of light and dark, but that we ourselves can remain “immaculate and wondering.” Exhibitor Name : Saturnalia Books Booth Number: 619	Exhibitor Name : Saturnalia Books Booth Number: 619	2025032710:0010:30 000	THU, MAR 27

As Ellen Bass writes, Callihan “turns recurrent obsessions like children, husband, mother, laundry, time, art, and body into poems of elastic syntax and shapes––psalms, prose, lyric, narrative.” Whether looking back at her girlhood, counting out almonds, or singing herself (yet another) birthday song, Callihan’s luminous linguistics send us on an expansive journey. Sometimes dreamlike, sometimes raucous, these poems teach us how much can be held in a life and on the page.

Wheeler Prize winner Softly Undercover explores the possibilities and limitations of ritual and repetition, asking what it means to believe and see clearly. Formally rangy poems map out territories of devotion and divination, contrasting the realm of mystery, dreams, and symbols with the alienation of the mundane. Against a backdrop of intimate relationships, small towns, rural landscapes, and claustrophobic interiors, Jonas casts her gaze on isolation, nostalgia, repression, visibility, and loss while examining the desire “to go anywhere more docile / than facts.” Animated by uncertainty, this elliptical and lyrical debut dwells in the pleasures and hazards of illusion.

Friday, Mar 28, 2025	Friday, Mar 28, 2025 3:00 PM - 3:30 PM PDT	Booth signing: Women Surrounded by Water Growing up in Puerto Rico, Patricia Coral was surrounded by women who fought for their needs amid the demands of domesticity and who were dismissed and judged when they rejected any predetermined paths on an island that itself has never been free. At age twenty-five, she married her first love, a green-eyed musician whose internal storms drove Coral to slowly realize that the marriage must end. Faced with disillusionment—with her husband, with the patriarchal expectations that surrounded her like the Caribbean Sea, and with the limited options available to her—she leaves, only for Hurricane Maria to wrench her heart homeward. Coral evokes the beauty, love, and language of her family and of Puerto Rico as well as the pain of yearning for more. Tastes, colors, and the dreamlike lushness of childhood memories infuse this mournful and propulsive memoir of personal and natural disasters—and the self-discovery made possible only when we choose what to leave behind. Patricia Coral is a bilingual Puerto Rican writer.

Thursday, Mar 27, 2025	Thursday, Mar 27, 2025 1:00 PM - 1:30 PM PDT	Booth signing: At the Park on the Edge of the Country In At the Park on the Edge of the Country, Austin Araujo maps the intricacies of memory, immigration, and belonging through the experiences of one Mexican American family—his own—in the rural American South, crystallizing memory and self-knowledge as collaborative, multivocal affairs. Human and nonhuman voices and the competing landscapes of childhood and adulthood propel these poems, offering an unyielding portrait of a family’s endless encounters with the shortcomings of citizenship. Speakers sleep like tostadas, mistake hikers crossing a small river in Arkansas for a migrant father, and hold onto silence through difficult conversations in the fields and in the city. Revelatory and striking, these poems reinvent origin myths to unmask the contradictory and expansive astonishments of Mexican American identity in the twenty-first century. Austin Araujo is a writer from northwest Arkansas. The recipient of a Wallace Stegner Fellowship at Stanford University, his poems have appeared in Poetry, TriQuarterly, and Gulf Coast. At the Park on the Edge of the Country is his first book.

Friday, Mar 28, 2025	Friday, Mar 28, 2025 1:30 PM - 2:00 PM PDT	Booth signing: The Hunger Book In The Hunger Book, Agata Izabela Brewer evokes her Polish childhood under Communism, where the warmth of her grandparents’ love and the scent of mushrooms drying in a tiny apartment are as potent as the deprivations and traumas of life with a terrifyingly unstable, alcoholic single mother. Brewer indelibly renders stories of foraging for food, homemade potato vodka (one of the Eastern Bloc’s more viable currencies), blood sausage, sparrows plucked and fried with linseed oil, and the respite of a country garden plot, all amid Stalinist-era apartment buildings, food shortages, martial law, and nuclear disaster in nearby Ukraine. Brewer reflects on all of this from her immigrant’s vantage point, as she wryly tries to convince her children to enjoy the mushrooms she gathers from a roadside and grieves when they choose to go by Americanized versions of their Polish names. Hunting mushrooms, like her childhood, carried both reward and mortal peril. The Hunger Book, which includes recipes, is an unforgettable meditation on motherhood and addiction, resilience and love. Agata Izabela Brewer was born and raised in Poland. A teacher, a mother, an activist for immigrant rights, and a Court Appointed Special Advocate, she is Professor of English at Wabash College. Her creative writing has appeared in Guernica and Entropy. The Hunger Book is her first book of creative nonfiction.

At the heart of Ostrom’s mesmerizing fourth book of poems is the bear—guide, father, sister, speaker, reader, and god. Sometimes caged by metaphor and anthropomorphism, other times free to simply be a bear, each incarnation peels back layers of masking. With empathy and wit, The Bear Wrestler reveals how masculinity and conceit get inscribed in the blood through storytelling. Prepare to wrestle with the lyrical truths that only a bear can reveal and to explore the delicate balance between fiction and reality in this evocative book.

While containing arresting imagery and various cultural references, such as American film and music, these poems nod to other artists who have made their home away from their homeland, such as the Turkish writer and director Emine Sevgi Özdamar. Although Jurjevic’s poems navigate the disorienting terrain of self, they have a strong sense of geography and concrete reality. These poems wear a dark sensuality. They are inquisitive, direct, and at times erotic. Exhibitor Name : Saturnalia Books Booth Number: 619	Exhibitor Name : Saturnalia Books Booth Number: 619	2025032714:0014:30 000	THU, MAR 27

Saturday, Mar 29, 2025	Saturday, Mar 29, 2025 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM PDT	Tyler Mills Signs The Bomb Cloud Tyler Mills signs the poetic memoir, The Bomb Cloud: A shimmering memoir defined equally by its lyrical prose and profound historical implications, The Bomb Cloud untangles the intersecting strands of information running through a family mystery shaped by national secrets. From craggy cliffs in New Mexico to the haunting White Sands Missile Range, poet Tyler Mills meditates on the journeys that curiosity and research demand. Mills wonders about the nature of memory and writing itself, which surface as subjects – and asks what it means to discover, create, and re-create narratives in a search for illusive clarity. How can one navigate through gaps in the fence around forbidden knowledge and confront what seems to be the truth? Extending from the poems in Mills’ Hawk Parable collection, this memoir wrestles with her grandfather’s likely involvement in a top-secret bomb wing that trained in the New Mexico desert, taking the reader to the very edge of the unknowable. The Bomb Cloud offers a story through essays about ecological crisis, family intrigue, personal and collective trauma, borders and the American Southwest, and mothering and legacy. It also splits open what it means to grapple with a history, a past, a place, and a self through language. The Bomb Cloud includes 10 pieces of original, multi-media art by the author exploring the questions posed by the book.

Thursday, Mar 27, 2025	Thursday, Mar 27, 2025 3:00 PM - 3:30 PM PDT	Travis Mossotti: Book Signing for Apocryphal Genesis Apocryphal Genesis comes as a reminder of how deeply personal an impersonal world can often feel. The failed promises of the previous centuries are mere preamble to the predicaments of the current one. Humanity’s contentment to entertain the illusion of control over the world around us is also the source of our collective discontent. In Mossotti’s poems, dark humor underpins every turn. His wit cuts through the bang and blab of what passes for polite discourse, and his visions are jarring and delightful in equal measure. His poems cinematically zoom from the exceedingly distant vantages of “telescopes scraping deeper into the womb / of the universe” to the microscopic “space between the whirl of electrons.” While the ghost of Apollinaire guides the reader through these haunting poems, it’s the poet himself who’s on display more often than not (like a moth pinned inside a glass case), naked and unadorned. Apocryphal Genesis is a book that’s mature enough to be unimpressed with the trappings of maturity. It’s the first glance the poet’s after, subtle movement of stirrings under the leaf litter, and page after page, Mossotti transforms the cosmically divine into something indelible.

Set in the topsoil above the underworld, at the foot of empire, Pafunda’s tenth book of poems takes place during a spring super-bloom, a colony collapse, an end-time. It's a lanky, muscular meditation on belonging--as both property and beloved. Pacing the road from desert to sea, unraveling gender from violence from capital, asking what happens when we finally refuse to dog eat dog our way through, this queer surrealist epic leaps from the Homeric hymns to post-punk lyrics, holding its tender friends, calling out its loves to play, slick with sex, illness, loss, and wonder.

Manatees take over a bathtub, an egg becomes a kite, a man finds a warning in an empty lot and brings it home to raise with his wife. The absurdity at the heart of this collection is rooted in an impulse to examine the rituals of living. Using language that is disarmingly direct, these compact narratives consistently surprise and clarify. In their search for meaning, the poems find truths in the unexpected that remind us what we have in common.

In her spectacular debut, Gomez offers a call and response to all of us stumbling towards connection.

The poems mourn shouting over one another to tell a story, squeezing hands of strangers and loved ones, picking at the many homemade mac n cheeses. The game of the Exquisite Corpse, usually played by many, is used here as a way into polyvocality, intimacy, and remembrance. Here, the poems infuse formal tradition with discomfort, adapt the shapes of literary and queer ancestors, speculate fleeting worlds of gender as the speaker sees theirs through and alongside best friends. Phantasmagossip does not romanticize death, but instead grapples with the stakes of gendered violence and the simultaneous desire for pleasure, dissecting accusations of dangerousness levied against women, fems, genderqueer speakers. The speakers seek acceptance of their own queer desires, alongside the grief that being looked at and desired is not always the same as being seen.

By seeking the liminal spaces where survival and surrender blur into one, murmurations pursues questions over answers, praises the angels that abandon us, bind metaphor and hallucination into a kind of communion. Through whispers beneath locked doors and lights that crawl through the dimmest hallways, we explore an alternate timeline where the late singer Amy Winehouse did not die but got sober, highlighting the confusion, mystery and messiness of recovery and our time ephemeral together, brief and desperate as prayer.

Saturday, Mar 29, 2025	Saturday, Mar 29, 2025 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM PDT	Stacey Park signing Year of the Sheep The poems in Stacey Park’s Year of the Sheep are immigrant songs. Using the poetic imagination as a space to represent the complexities of assimilation, cultural hybridity, and a religious upbringing, this collection explores the link between language, location, and self. The mix of natural imagery and pop culture references culminate in a nostalgic hum that yearns for home, wherever and whatever that might be. In Korean, it is common to use a collective pronoun like “our'' and “we,” when referencing something that is exclusively one’s own. This sense of “our'' reinforces the notion that an individual is always part of the collective. From all sides, the speaker is bombarded with ways of belonging—the fear of being left by the herd haunts them. Park offers a speaker who questions the predetermined paths and pervasive narratives that try to dictate the major actions and events of a good immigrant life. They seek a way to honor the “we” while forging an “I” on their own terms.

Thursday, Mar 27, 2025	Thursday, Mar 27, 2025 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM PDT	Hari Alluri Book Signing: Our Echo of Sudden Mercy Our Echo of Sudden Mercy searches for the tenuous places where grief and joy entwine. At turns meditative, irreverent, and tender, the poems trace these threads through multiple forms of loss—personal and familial, cultural and planetary, quiet and violent—by encountering and moving through the everyday. “We have always been the consequence of stories,” they intone. Here, attentive to the ode in downbeats of lament, Alluri finds a restorative poetry: that the incantatory in the fragmented can be heard as a form of wholeness, that displacement can become a way of being in the world, one which holds and is held by listening, by care and collaboration.

The poems consider his identity as a scientist, as well as the science of his increasing fragmentation. While a grievous loss, his death re-configures how his family understands and experiences him: an endearingly monolithic head of a family, an athlete, a musician, an expert in his field. Through a sharp and tender observation of landscapes both physical and emotional, along with a generous offering of data, curiosity, and awe, Hudson shows us how death might bring someone we love into a more precise and present focus.

Van Prooyen’s poems have clarity and ferocity, a wild imaginative grace that captures the joy and strangeness of our most intimate and familiar experiences. Frances appears part god, part curious child, part the small solitary voice inside. Van Prooyen asks “ Is a sigh a word? Is a body a word? / Is a tongue the beginning?” She tells us “Memory cannot undo the future. Frances, if I said, /tonight I thank the seven sisters, it’s really / the blue dust of God between them. Or you.” This beautiful book cracks us wide open and leaves us charged and changed. –Sheila Black, co-editor of Beauty is a Verb and author of Iron, Ardent Exhibitor Name : Milk and Cake Press Booth Number: T1038	Exhibitor Name : Milk and Cake Press Booth Number: T1038	2025032810:3012:00 000	FRI, MAR 28

At turns intimate, introspective, and darkly humorous, these poems question everyday caution signs even as they lean into vulnerability, grappling with relationships, impermanence, and the many ways the world can end. In this elastic collection, every danger is taken seriously, while no poem takes itself too seriously. There is a smile, or at least a knowing wink, for every foible of the all-too-human speakers in these quietly confident poems.

These women made significant discoveries about the universe, yet struggled for fair pay and, at times, recognition for their work, and with restrictive expectations of women’s roles. These poems are interspersed with more modern women’s experiences that are sadly similar a century later.

It’s about growing up in Brooklyn & forming alliances with sidewalks. About being a girl on the verge of something shattering. About the fur. Many of the poems in this collection are based on a type of mineral. Melissa Eleftherion works with the language of minerals and rocks to tell a story of the relationship between women & geological trauma, along with the sediment of betrayal that lingers in our foundation. This book is about trusting yourself enough to claw your way out.

Friday, Mar 28, 2025	Friday, Mar 28, 2025 10:30 AM - 11:30 AM PDT	Where Every Ghost Has a Name Where Every Ghost Has a Name traces the path of Taiwanese independence through the dramatic story of one family's sacrifices. In 2010, Kim Liao traveled to Taiwan to learn the truth about her family. After WWII, her grandfather Thomas Liao (Liao Wen-Yi) became the leader of the Taiwanese independence movement—his land was seized, his relatives were arrested, and his nephew was sentenced to death. With their lives at stake, Thomas’s wife Anna brought their four children to America to start a new life, never speaking a word about Thomas again. When Kim arrived in Taiwan six decades later, she was shocked to learn that the KMT government had erased much of the story of Taiwanese independence from the official historical record. For years, Taiwanese citizens were kept in the dark about the violence that transpired during four decades of martial law, with the silenced voices of the White Terror Period mirroring the silencing of the Liao family’s story. Despite this suppression, she learned that former independence leaders had preserved this history in their memories and personal archives. With their help, Kim discovered two stories: her family's story of love and loss, and Taiwan’s fight for freedom.
