  With a Moon in Transit

  “A collection that is down-to-earth and sparkling in its self-deprecating wit . . . Osherow’s poems cast a magical light on whatever she beholds.” —Library Journal 
   
  In With a Moon in Transit, Jacqueline Osherow has given us her most accomplished poetry to date. Integrating the strengths of her earlier work—humor, honesty, artifice, testimony—into compelling poems of great vigor and charm, she combines the often antithetical impulses of lyric and narrative verse. The result is an aesthetic largely her own, one that permits Osherow to treat emotionally charged events and elaborate ideas with remarkable control. 
   
  Osherow’s observations are by turns gossipy, grand, sober, and hilarious. She sustains a disarming tone and manages to assimilate elements of both high and popular culture without apparent strain. While firmly rooted in the Hebrew Bible, her verse is also informed by authors as various as Dante and Dickinson. Yet for all that these poems are alive to the literary past, they remain sensitive to the rhythms of conversation and the tones of everyday speech. Osherow’s poems are composed with great clarity and rigor, but they never cease to sound casually spoken. 
   
  “Marked by an inimitable anecdotal expansiveness and uncompromising control, Jacqueline Osherow’s poems are among the most ambitious being written.” —Mark Strand, Pulitzer Prize–winning poet 
   
  “Abundant in whimsy, philosophical speculation, and earthly affections, Jacqueline Osherow’s poems inhabit their forms with insouciance and wit . . . Whether in mourning or celebration, hers is a voice of dazzling confidence, and humane and generous wisdom.” —Rosanna Warren, author of So Forth: Poems

  Mission Creep

  Joshua Trotter

  A spun radio dial passing clean through poetry. A stuttering loop of Endgame recorded by Stockhausen, remixed by Kraftwerk. The chatter of minotaurs and metadata. Transmissions from far-off futures or new pasts, recordings from a recoded present topped off with a cherry. Evel Knievel, above it all, mysterious, forever taciturn. Mission Creep comes on with the inferno of apocalyptic prophecy and melts on your tongue like the last snowflake of a nuclear winter.
   
  Praise for Joshua Trotter:
   
  'Joshua Trotter’s long-awaited debut is here, and it’s every bit as good as we’d hoped. His poems have the one maker’s mark of authenticity that absolutely cannot be faked: a fresh style that holds novelty and tradition in creative tension. ... By turns funny and terrifying, airy and claustrophobic, non-representational and razor-sharp, Trotter is stock to buy early and hold.' – National Post (on All This Could Be Yours)
   
  'A miracle of meter and meteorology' – Poetry Foundation (on All This Could Be Yours)

  In Milk Snake, Toby Buckley invites us to look at the world from a slightly different angle, where small things become unsettling if you look closely enough. The poet explores queerness, displacement and trauma through clear-voiced, deceptively gentle poems about fishermen, maggots and bees.
  bleary
  from sleep and warm
  water and no glasses
  i spot an uncertain comma
  sliding
  he drags his tail up my
  shower wall cumbersome
  and not unmaggotesque and i
  can see
  his guts
  or maybe it's
  his dinner
