  Random Experiments in Bioluminescence is a remarkable collection of luminous poems for cherishing cultures, languages, and the Earth — From poet and urbanist Dr. Amy Shimshon-Santo.“Listen with your natural body,” writes Shimshon-Santo. “In the beginning, there was song.” This collection tracks a woman’s search for language and belonging. Choral, cryptographic, and exhilarating, Shimshon-Santo provides glimpses into a poetics of  planetary livability.The collection opens with a “genealogy of the moment” in “x or x prime clock time.” Trees and vines “tangle their hair together” to escape over brick walls. A piano decomposes into forest mulch. Seaweed fronds curl around pilings. Gravity “plants humans in the ground like oaks” while black birds murmurate skyward. Echolocate in the galaxy through poems, and become a “rapture gawker of infinity consciousness.”Mother tongues join a line dance of translations with family and friends. A trilingual villanelle for òrìṣà cohabitates with talmudic inspired piyyut. Poems morph into flow charts, pictograms, haikus, and chants — scattered between photographs of habitats.Her verse has kinesthetic momentum on the page—flowing from right to left or left to right, ascending or descending, to weave conversations between languages. The outcome of Random Experiments in Bioluminescence is a homecoming to the body and the planet; respect for multiple languages and awe for life in our pluriverse.

Offering a direct address to the city where the poet grew up, this collection explores questions of generation amidst the displacement and belonging of a Jewish family in Memphis, Tennessee. These poems sing with their attention to the particular body and what it cannot carry, what it cannot put down. Through letters, city documents, visual art, and dialogue, Dear Memphis excavates ancestry, inheritance, and the ecological possibility of imagining a future.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  He did not wear his scarlet coat, 
  For blood and wine are red, 
  And blood and wine were on his hands 
  When they found him with the dead, 
  The poor dead woman whom he loved, 
  And murdered in her bed.

  Embark

  A new collection by Sean O’Brien – ‘Auden’s true inheritor’, and one of our wisest poetic chronographers – is not just a literary event, but also, invariably, a reckoning of the times. Given the nature of our times, his voice is an essential one: there is no other poet currently writing with O’Brien’s intellectual authority, historical literacy and sheer command of the facts. Embark also registers our unique cultural climacteric, where the larger crises of the planet – the pandemic and the terrifying spectre of revanchist nationalism among them – impact all of us, and where the illusion of a church-and-state separation of the personal and political can no longer hold. As the poet turns seventy, he shows us how the inevitable absences that age brings are assuaged by how we furnish them; the result is not just a logic made from loss and pain, but a music, a metaphysic, and finally a redemptive art. Embark reminds us of the enduring consolations of love, of friendship, of the freedoms and possible futures still afforded by the imagination – and, through O’Brien’s own exemplary model, of poetry itself.
