Synopsis

In "Enough Rope," Dorothy Parker showcases her unparalleled wit and incisive observations, presenting a collection of verse that captures the complexities of love, loss, and the human condition. The poems, characterized by their sharp irony and playful rhythm, reflect the literary style of the early 20th century, often blending modernist themes with elements reminiscent of the Harlem Renaissance. Parker's ability to distill profound insights into concise and often humorous lines places her work within the canon of American poetry, where she boldly articulates the nuances of social mores and personal struggles. Dorothy Parker, a prominent member of the Algonquin Round Table, drew upon her experiences in a rapidly changing America, marked by the flapper era and heightened gender discourse. Her astute critiques of societal norms and her own tumultuous relationships inform these poems, allowing readers to glimpse the vulnerabilities and resilience beneath her sardonic exterior. Parker's literary prowess emerged not just from her sharp intellect, but also from her genuine empathy for the human experience, making her poetry deeply relatable. "Enough Rope" is recommended for readers seeking an unadulterated exploration of life's vicissitudes, couched in humor and eloquence. Parker's collection remains a testament to her enduring voice and sharp insight, inviting readers to reflect on their own experiences while reveling in her linguistic mastery.

    WINNER OF THE NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD 
    FINALIST FOR THE PEN/JEAN STEIN BOOK AWARD 
    From U.S. Poet Laureate Ada Limón comes The Carrying—her most powerful collection yet. 
    Vulnerable, tender, acute, these are serious poems, brave poems, exploring with honesty the ambiguous moment between the rapture of youth and the grace of acceptance. A daughter tends to aging parents. A woman struggles with infertility—“What if, instead of carrying / a child, I am supposed to carry grief?”—and a body seized by pain and vertigo as well as ecstasy. A nation convulses: “Every song of this country / has an unsung third stanza, something brutal.” And still Limón shows us, as ever, the persistence of hunger, love, and joy, the dizzying fullness of our too-short lives. “Fine then, / I’ll take it,” she writes. “I’ll take it all.” 
    In Bright Dead Things, Limón showed us a heart “giant with power, heavy with blood”—“the huge beating genius machine / that thinks, no, it knows, / it’s going to come in first.” In her follow-up collection, that heart is on full display—even as The Carrying continues further and deeper into the bloodstream, following the hard-won truth of what it means to live in an imperfect world.

    A bold, mesmerizing debut collection exploring womanhood, the body, mental illness, and what it means to move between cultures  
    Renowned for her storytelling and spoken-word artistry, Ama Asantewa Diaka is also an exultant, fierce, and visceral poet whose work leaves a lasting impact. 
    Touching on themes from perceptions of beauty to the betrayals of the body, from what it means to give consent to how we grapple with demons internal and external, Woman, Eat Me Whole is an entirely fresh and powerful look at womanhood and personhood in a shifting world. Moving between Ghana and the United States, Diaka probes those countries’ ever-changing cultural expectations and norms while investigating the dislocation and fragmentation of a body—and a mind—so often restless or ill at ease. 
    Vivid and bodily while also deeply cerebral, Woman, Eat Me Whole is a searing debut collection from a poet with an inimitable voice and vision.

    With kitchen-table candour and empathy, Charlie Petch’s debut collection of poems offers witness to a decades-long trans/personal coming of age, finding heroes in unexpected places.   
    Why I Was Late fuses text with performance, bringing a transmasculine wisdom, humour, and experience to bear upon tailgates, spaceships, and wrestling rings. Fierce, tender, convention re-inventing—Petch works hard. And whether it’s as a film union lighting technician, a hospital bed allocator, a Toronto hot dog vendor, or a performer/player of the musical saw, the work is survival. Heroes are found in unexpected places, elevated by both large and small gestures of kindness, accountability and acceptance. No subject—grief, disability, kink, sexuality, gender politics, violence—is off limits.  
    A poet so good at drag they had everyone convinced that they were a woman for the first forty years of their life, Petch has somehow brought the stage and its attendant thrills into the book. Better late than. And better.
