  "A truly magical achievement." —Ocean Vuong 
   
   
   
  In Trace Evidence, the urgent follow-up to his award-winning debut Into Each Room We Enter without Knowing, Charif Shanahan continues his piercing meditations on the intricacies of mixed-race identity, queer desire, time, mortality, and the legacies of anti-Blackness in the US and abroad. At the collection's center sits "On the Overnight from Agadir," a poem that chronicles Shanahan's survival of a devastating bus accident in Morocco, his mother's birth country, and ruminates on home, belonging, and the mysteries of fate. With rich lyricism, power, and tenderness, Trace Evidence centers the racial periphery and excavates the vestiges of our violent colonial past in the most intimate aspects of our lives. In a language yoked equally to the physical and metaphysical worlds, the poet articulates the need we all share for real intimacy and connection, and proves, time and again, that the true cost of our separateness is the love that our survival requires.

  Bottled Oddities: The Collected...

  Dawson Hann

  Dawson Hann's poems, as the title implies, are all highly individual in their structures and points of view. They engage comprehensively, and often humorously, with those truths of human experience that our emotions, and our imagination, at times long for. They sit upon a shelf of life's varied experiences, inviting you to sample, through compelling imagery and a diversity of poetic forms, the meaning the poet has extracted from a remarkably rich life of travel and human engagement. Not just this, but also a poetic faith in the truths lying often unseen at the heart of frequently ordinary human experiences. Likewise, they take you on journeys into memories new and old, restlessly yet beautifully searching for the truths always to be found there too.
  
  The poetic journeys in this collection are frequently uplifting and always authentic illustrations of the poet's conviction that nothing in life is quite what it seems and that poetic forms are as good a way as any to illuminate so many truths about how we understand ourselves and others.

  The Only Jealousy of Emer & The...

  This is the inevitable conclusion of the Myth of Cuchulainn as set out by W.B. Yeats.  
  "The Only Jealousy of Emer" is a story of self sacrifice and humility brought about through humiliation and debauchery. And yet, through all of that, each action taken by the characters in done out of love. If the other portions of Yeats' Myth of Cuchulainn  were about fealty, this play is about true devotion, even unto giving up that precious item at the bottom of Pandora's box.  
  As the title suggests, "The Death of Cuchulainn" is about as mythic and yet as human as the titular character. A man worn down with time, finally in acceptance of his fate. A fate still worth telling and felt in the Irish people today.

  Benjamin "Ben" Jonson was born in June, 1572. A contemporary of William Shakespeare, he is best known for his satirical plays; Volpone, The Alchemist, and Bartholomew Fair, and his equally accomplished lyric poems.  
  A man of vast reading and a seemingly insatiable appetite for controversy, including time in jail and a penchant for switching faiths, Jonson had an unparalleled breadth of influence on Jacobean and Caroline playwrights and poets. 
  In 1616 Jonson was appointed by King James I to receive a yearly pension of £60 to become what is now recognised as the post of the first official Poet Laureate.    
  He died on the 6th of August, 1637 at Westminster and is buried in the north aisle of the nave at Westminster Abbey. 
  A master of both playwriting and poetry his reputation continues to endure and reach a new audience with each succeeding generation. 
   This volume comes to you from Portable Poetry, a specialized imprint from Deadtree Publishing.  Our range is large and growing and covers single poets, themes, and many compilations.
