Mother of Other Kingdoms is a tender, inward-exploration of motherhood, amidst the chaos and destruction of human life on earth. These lyric poems center on mothering the more-than-human world-plants, flowers, animals, birds, insects-all with their elaborate taxonomies and delicate identities. As a Master Naturalist, Kai Coggin brings us a different perspective, seeing through a magnified lens focused on the thriving invisible worlds that others overlook. She takes a heart-forward turn deeper into her quiet forest home, invites the reader in, and treads soft footprints in poems, intersecting stories of the vibrant natural world, motherhood, love, loss, ancestry, grief, wonder, joy, and impermanence. Where her recent books have been overtly political, Mother of Other Kingdoms slows us down, reminds us to breathe, amplifies the voices of caterpillars and honeybees. The world is breaking before our eyes, yes, but there are still birds, still flowers, still trees . . . for now. Coggin does not shy away from the fires, she shows us the smallest miracles before they burn, takes your hand and says look closer. These poems are intimate, close to the skin, infinite and infinitesimal-this collection mother's worlds we so desperately need to hold.

She Says reimagines six famous short stories by and (largely about) men, giving voice to a silenced or secondary woman character. From the woman who giggles during a bank robbery (Tobias Wolff's Bullet in the Brain) to the woman whose new pet parrot is actually her deceased husband (Jealous Husband Returns in Form of Parrot by Robert Olen Butler), these stories pose adjacent possibilities, an exercise in creative criticism on one end and fan fiction on the other. Murvin utilizes emotion and thoughtful prose to focus on the often forgotten women of these stories, inspired by such works as Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys and A Thousand Acres by Jane Smiley.

It is only through the body that we receive images, and mostly through the images that we receive poems. Braving the Body is a collection of these fierce images; of 116 bodies; of, as Whitman writes in Leaves of Grass, head, neck, hair, ears . . . mouth, tongue, lips . . . bowels sweet and clean . . . brain in its folds inside the skull frame . . . heart valves; of Liza Katz Duncan's 10-week pregnant body driving south; of Diane Seuss's hair the color of a field mouse and Justin Wymer's pill the color of her hair; of the cast made of Drew Skelton's teeth; the discarded membranes of Fia Montero's Diastasis Recti Abdominis; the imagined daffodils planted by our children's children of Ann Fisher-Wirth's final consummation with her beloved. Absurd, sublime, anxious, and tender-these poems resonate in the very place they were born-the brave body in all its gore and glory.

From conversations in public school classrooms and faculty meetings, to arguments in restaurants and folding tents, said the Frog to the scorpion blurs the lines between pedagogy and prejudice, romance and anti-racism. In poems referencing a ubiquitous She, Matthew E Henry's latest collection explores the options left a Black teacher in a white system when love is met with empty promises and toxic amnesia. Henry's frog survives the initial encounter and slowly, painfully, his slick, perforated back begins to understand: a scorpion will always be exactly who She is-someone who can't tell Asians students apart, who equates accountability with gaslighting, who thinks Goldilocks was the hero of the story, who makes wishes on the rubbed heads of magic negroes She's dated. said the Frog to the scorpion attempts to decode Her mind, and the fallout of the relationship, while asking what's the difference between a breakup and resignation letter.

Refused a Second Date is a collection about first dates, dates that prevent any chance of a second date.

Refused a Second Date is a love letter to the romantic, platonic, and familial relationships that shape us. Most importantly, it is a love letter to the author's mother who shaped how they navigate relationships.

What really happens on the front lines of change? For Bertine, a former ESPN columnist and professional cyclist, advocating for gender equality wasn't even on her radar in 2007. By 2017, everything changed. Global petitions, documentary filmmaking, pressure groups, secret meetings, bullying managers, brain injuries, devastating depression, healing victories... the decade-long span of one woman's foray into activism was rife with difficulties. But also a journey of hope, passion, courage and triumph. With unabashed honesty, irreverence, history, humor and authenticity, Bertine's memoir takes us behind the scenes of what really happens when we stand up and fight for what we believe. And why we must. Proving that we all have the power to create change, STAND delivers a timely and poignant message to readers from all walks of life: The journey toward equal opportunity is always worth the struggle. Kathryn Bertine is an author, activist, filmmaker, public speaker and retired professional athlete.

In this haunting collection, MT Vallarta unflinchingly weaves the reader through the slippery terrain of trauma and memory. The poems walk through the multiple dimensions of grief, survival, and hope. U.S. (neo)colonialism of the Philippines, growing up in an immigrant family, losing loved ones to suicide, coming to terms with queer identity-What You Refuse to Remember demonstrates how these journeys and monumental acts of becoming are intricately connected and how a painful past propels us to imagine and materialize brighter and more fruitful futures.

Gomez's poems are a gift: at times sumptuous and impassioned, and always striking in their clarity.

The poems in In a Body will take you to Fire Island dunes, Jamaica Bay marshes, inside a glacial moraine, and beneath the forest to the mycorrhizal network. Emily Hockaday's speaker is as likely to be pouring alcohol down a drain as inspecting horseshoe crab eggs with her child. With her, we learn to be still and to look at the micro. We walk the line between tame/and not tame. Through a feminist and ecopoetic lens, Hockaday considers the ecosystem of the ill body contrasted with the ecosystems around us. In addition to themes of ecology and chronic pain, this collection touches on parenting, grief, sobriety, and the urban environment. How do chronic fatigue and pain isolate a person? Can nature provide connection in the face of this isolation? These are questions In a Body strives to answer. This collection looks to plant, fungal, animal, and geological bodies as a way of trying to understand humanity's place in the Universe while also grappling with chronic illness.

The first thing to understand is movement: the instrument's magic is motion and nothing more. So begins Andrea L. Hackbarth's Waveforms, and from there the reader harmonizes into the various, ranging, beautiful music of this book, which is part philosophical investigation harmony, part familial bewilderment, part detailed explication of a piano-tuner's work. To observe to a poet share the details of an old craft such as piano tuning by one skilled in both it and poetry is a gift beyond measure. What does it mean to listen, to tune? What are the tools used? What drifts through the mind of the tuner as she uses her tines, felt, and rubber? Andrea L. Hackbarth gives us all this, and more. - Elizabeth Bradfield, author of Toward Antarctica, editor of Cascadia Field Guide: Art, Ecology, Poetry

Many Miles is a meditation on grief, a love letter to a lost brother. Using automotive technology as an interpretive lens, Rosa Sophia Godshall reflects on childhood dysfunction and her own spiritual identity in search of a way forward. Threaded throughout this elegiac collection, unspoken but never far from her mind, is the question most often asked in the aftermath of suicide: Could I have saved him? The heartbreaking answer comes in a conversation with the medical examiner: I never knew he wanted to die.
