In this ferocious and tender debut, Chen Chen investigates inherited forms of love and family — the strained relationship between a mother and son, the cost of necessary goodbyes — all from Asian American, immigrant, and queer perspectives. Holding all accountable, this collection fully embraces the loss, grief, and abundant joy that come with charting one's own path in identity, life, and love.

Delve into the mind of Chesca Christine as she opens herself up in an often dark, but raw, manner. In the poems, she describes things like how she was just an observer, or she says farewell to her past self. Spread throughout are series like “I Would Have Chosen”, in which a corpse describes the art of decomposition and yearns for a respite, or “The Journey”, in which a city is visible, but is not the destination. There are some musings about how others act and possible repercussions for said action.

Collective Amnesia: The Audio Experience is the marriage of sound, poetry, music, and theatre making, a storytelling experience for the ears, transporting the listener from their reality into the worlds of the poems.

Poemas urbanos, melancólicos, amorosos. En ellos transcurren los días del ser hijo y se despliegan los aprendizajes trascendentes de la infancia, intuyéndolos en el susurro sensual entre el padre y la madre o arrancándolos de sus discusiones. Siguiendo los pasos de quien sale a trabajar, de quien cocina y lava y tiende la ropa al sol. Siguiendo los pasos de quien se apura a sacarla antes de que caigan las gotas de una tormenta intempestiva.

I am open; these words are my sutures. Shades is an attempt to reconcile who I am as a man, with a society that seems to be fluctuating and struggling at every turn. I show my encounters with family, religion, queerness, heartbreak, COVID-19, and politics. This is a look at my life in 2021, shown through poetry.

Tender the River captures in verse the history and legacy of the Merrimack River Valley, from the Pennacook, Wamesit, Algonquin, and other indigenous tribes who settled there first, to the European settlers who came with guns and their god to supplant them, to being the birthplace of America’s industrial revolution and first labor movements, to becoming a center of continued immigration, of entrenched nativism, and even multicultural celebration.

Stories matter. In this collection of poems and stories that are shaped like poems, Ken Briodagh hopes to say that every story has the potential to educate, titillate, entertain, and stimulate. He also thinks that the most fun and interesting stories come from those places that are deemed “sinful” by authority figures and killjoys (not mutually exclusive). Here, he explores being queer, loving as much as possible, living polyamorous, and his probable overfondness of allegory. (Note: Sorry, Papa Tolkien.)

Requiem & Rebirth is an anthology and debut book from author/illustrator Skyler Rose (@chronicmaverick). We follow Skyler as they recall and attempt to come to terms with the memory of their abusive relationship and past traumas.

Visceral and astonishing, Paul Tran's debut poetry collection All the Flowers Kneeling investigates intergenerational trauma, sexual violence, and U.S. imperialism in order to radically alter our understanding of freedom, power, and control.

In As I Ascend, Sina not only gives listeners an intimate, unfiltered look into her own experiences with romantic love and heartbreak; she also explores self-love and love for her culture – Black culture.

Welcome to Midland is a queer coming-of-age narrative in verse set against the backdrop of conservative, small town Texas.

The Lyme Letters is epistolary verse that spells out a memoir. R, a nonbinary femme character, narrates their experience of disease and recovery through recurrent letters to doctors, pets, family members, lovers, and a “Master”. R, in letter form and repurposed religious texts, also explores the paradoxical experiences of queer non-reproductivity, chronic illness and disability, and the healing that can be found in the liminal spaces between.

Mr. Hunter has a passion for expressing his voice through the writing of children’s books and poetry.

With stories and poems ranging from saccharine to downright sultry, Black Cherry is full of sensual delights. Black Cherry celebrates the unique, powerful, intimate connection between Black women.

Following in the footsteps of such category killers as Milk and Honey and Whiskey Words & a Shovel I, Fariha Róisín's poetry book is a collection of her thoughts as a young, queer, Muslim femme navigating the difficulties of her intersectionality. Simultaneously, this compilation unpacks the contentious relationship that exists between Róisín and her mother, her platonic and romantic heartbreaks, and the cognitive dissonance felt as a result of being so divided among her broad spectrum of identities.

Ink and Magic is a poetic picture of life and inspirations drawn from anxiety, relationships, writing, and motivation. Words that are made to evoke emotions and encourage and support others the way I have been. After each poem I try to explain where my head and motivation was at when I worked to create it. Contains profanity, descriptions of panic, allusions to sex, and maybe hope.

Indecency is boldly and carefully executed and perfectly ragged. In these poems, Justin Phillip Reed experiments with language to explore inequity and injustice and to critique and lament the culture of white supremacy and the dominant social order. Political and personal, tender, daring, and insightful - the author unpacks his intimacies, weaponizing poetry to take on masculinity, sexuality, exploitation, and the prison industrial complex and unmask all the failures of the structures into which society sorts us.

What does it mean to claim your space in a world that’s ending? Sarah M. Sala’s Devil’s Lake breaks open the American moment of unchecked gun violence, climate changes, and the growing rift between "us" and "them" with formal daring. Like a prism, this startling debut fractures into shades of possibility and memory, queering science, nature, and form to lay bare the colors of joy despite a world that seems intent on its destruction.

In this debut poetry collection, Halsey bares her soul. Bringing the same artistry found in her lyrics, Halsey’s poems delve into the highs and lows of doomed relationships, family ties, sexuality and mental illness. More hand grenades than confessions, these autobiographical poems explore and dismantle conventional notions of what it means to be a feminist in search of power.

A Hundred Lovers is a catalog of encounters, sublime, steamy, and frank. Inspired by French autofiction, the poems feel both sharp and diaristic; their lyrical, intimate world brings us everyday scenes imbued with sex. "Eros enters, where shame had lived," the speaker observes, as the poems explore risk and appetite, promiscuity and violence, and, in the wake of his marriage, questions about monogamy and desire.

Jonah Mixon-Webster works at the intersections of space and the body, race and region, sexuality and class. Stereo(TYPE), his debut collection of poetry, is a reckoning and a force, a revision of our most sacred mythologies, and a work of documentary reporting from Mixon-Webster’s hometown of Flint, Michigan, where clean tap water remains an uncertainty and the aftermath of racist policies persist.

From spoken word poet Jasmine Mans comes an unforgettable poetry collection about race, feminism, and queer identity. With echoes of Gwendolyn Brooks and Sonia Sanchez, Mans writes to call herself - and us - home. Each poem explores what it means to be a daughter of Newark, and America - and the painful, joyous path to adulthood as a young, queer Black woman. Black Girl, Call Home is a love letter to the wandering Black girl and a vital companion to any woman on a journey to find truth, belonging, and healing.

Postcolonial Love Poem is a thunderous river of a book. It demands that every body carried within - bodies of language, land, suffering brothers, enemies and lovers - be touched and held. Where the bodies of indigenous, Latinx, Black and Brown women are simultaneously the body politic and the body ecstatic. In claiming this autonomy of desire, language is pushed to its dark edges, the astonishing dune fields and forests where pleasure and love are both grief and joy, violence and sensuality.
