A step-by-step system for mastering trading psychology.

Think about your most costly and recurring trading mistakes. Chances are that they're related to common errors, such as chasing price, cutting winners short, forcing mediocre trades, and overtrading. You've likely tried to fix these errors by improving your technical skills, and yet they persist. That's because the real source of these mistakes is not technical-they actually stem from greed, fear, anger, or problems with confidence and discipline.

If you are like most traders, you probably overlook or misunderstand mental and emotional obstacles. Or worse, you might think you know how to manage them, but you don't, and end up losing control at the worst possible time. You're leaving too much money on the table, which will either prevent you from being profitable or realizing your potential.

While many trading psychology books offer sound advice, they don't show you how to do the necessary work. That's why you haven't solved the problems hurting your performance. With straight talk and practical solutions, Jared Tendler brings a new voice to trading psychology. In The Mental Game of Trading, he busts myths about emotions, greed, and discipline, and shows you how to look past the obvious to identify the real reasons you're struggling.

This book is different from anything else on the market. You'll get a step-by-step system for discovering the cause of your problems and eliminating them once and for all. And through real stories of traders from around the world who have successfully used Tendler's system, you'll learn how to tackle your problems, improve your day-to-day performance, and increase your profits.

Whether you're an independent or institutional trader, and regardless of whether you trade equities, forex, or cryptocurrencies, you can use this system to improve your decision-making and execution. Finally, you have a way to reach your potential as a trader. Now's the time to make it happen.

Punks is utterly brilliant ... Keene's masterfully inventive inquiry of self and history is queered, Blackened and joyously thick with multitudes of voice and valence. --Tyehimba Jess

A landmark collection of poetry by acclaimed fiction writer, translator and MacArthur Fellow John Keene, Punks: New & Selected Poems is a generous treasury in seven sections that spans decades and includes previously unpublished and brand new work. With depth and breadth, Punks weaves together historic narratives of loss, lust, and love. The many voices that emerge in these poems--from historic Black personalities, both familial and famous, to the poet's friends and lovers in gay bars and bedrooms--form a cast of characters capable of addressing desire, oppression, AIDS and grief through sorrowful songs that we sing as hard as we live. At home in countless poetic forms, Punks reconfirms John Keene as one of the most important voices in contemporary poetry. This collection was the 2022 winner of the National Book Award for Poetry, the Thom Gunn Award for Gay poetry and the Lambda Literary Award for Gay Poetry.
John Keene (born 1965) was named a MacArthur Fellow in 2018. In 1989, Keene joined the Dark Room Writers Collective, and is a Graduate Fellow of the Cave Canem Writers Workshops. He is the author of Annotations and Counternarratives, both published by New Directions, as well as several other works: including the poetry collection Seismosis, with artist Christopher Stackhouse, and a translation of Brazilian author Hilda Hilst's novel Letters from a Seducer. Keene is the recipient of many awards including the Windham-Campbell Prize, the Whiting Foundation Prize, the Republic of Consciousness Prize and the American Book Award. He teaches at Rutgers University-Newark.

After Jessica, a Sotheby's art expert, shows up to inspect one of Valentine's rare Sargent paintings and his prodigal nephew returns from California, things begin to happen.

When a repentant billionaire, a shadowy eco-terrorist, and a millennial river hydrologist get involved, Valentine comes face to face with the shadowy, new breed of crooks.

What beautiful lucidity these poems have, what quiet, firm intelligence. Margaret Ross' poetry has the vivid characterizations and scenic quality of stories, but with another more mysterious quality that is disturbing and ineffably moving. --Mary Gaitskill

Margaret Ross' highly anticipated second collection of poems, Saturday, chronicles a brute education in love and decorum through ceremony starter kits, basement classrooms and a mission school turned art camp, seeking to touch the myth beneath the fiction. Dexterous and musical, Ross writes stunning lines with unmistakable precision. These poems accrue from fleeting details, think in images and resist simplifying the nature of feeling. In emotionally raw scenes, Saturday explores various forms of intimacy and estrangement in unforgettable ways.
Margaret Ross is the author of one previous collection, A Timeshare (Omnidawn, 2015). Her poems and translations appear or are forthcoming in Granta, the Paris Review, Poetry, the Yale Review and Best American Nonrequired Reading. The recipient of a Stegner Fellowship, a Fulbright grant and a Henry Luce Foundation Chinese Poetry & Translation Fellowship, she was most recently a Harper-Schmidt Fellow at the University of Chicago and will teach poetry at the Iowa Writers' Workshop this fall.

A memoir in the form of a poetic musing on the inevitability of death and the difficulty of letting loved ones go. -Alex Greenberger, ARTnews

First published in France in 2013, My Mother Laughs is the final book written by the legendary and beloved Belgian artist and director Chantal Akerman (1950-2015) before her death. A moving and unforgettable memoir, the book delves deeply into one of the central themes and focuses of Akerman's often autobiographical films: her mother, who was the direct subject of her final film No Home Movie (2015).

With a particular focus on the difficulties Akerman faced in conjunction with the end of her mother's life, the book combines a matter-of-fact writing style with family photographs and stills from her own films in order to better convey the totality of her experience. Akerman writes: With pride because I finally believed in my ability to say something that I'd had trouble saying. I told myself, I am strong for once, I speak. I tell the truth.

Chantal Akerman (1950-2015) was a Belgian film director, screenwriter, artist and professor. She is best known for her film Jeanne Dielman, 23 quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles (1975), which was dubbed a masterpiece by the New York Times. During her 42 years of active filmmaking, Akerman's influence on queer, feminist and avant-garde cinema remains unmatched, her films highlighting a near-physical passage of time. Akerman's films have been shown at the Venice Film Festival, Cannes Film Festival and the New York Film Festival, among many others.

A funny and surprising interaction with dailiness, including our phones--the hardware and the relationships maintained through them--and whatever else is still tactile. --Maddie Crum, Vulture

Stranger, Emily Hunt's long-awaited follow-up to her acclaimed debut collection of poems, intimately chronicles the effects of love, labor and grief on the life and sensibility of an artist. These poems shed a shifting light on the peculiar textures of our era. Hunt treads with concision, vigor and excitement, addressing directly lived experiences--from the mundane to the profound. Whether it's her curious interactions with dating apps, 19th-century political speeches, dizzying corporate communication or emails from her schizophrenic brother, the exact details and use of language in these poems become almost elemental, making an urgent record of the present. Stranger blurs the boundary between life and art--The things that happened / bled into the language we exchanged.--with the crystalline touch and nuance of a truly gifted writer.
Emily Hunt is the author of the poetry collection Dark Green and the chapbook Company. She has also published two artist's books: Cousins, a collection of photo prints, and This Always Happens, a series of drawings and short texts. She lives in New York.

This is the work of a unique poet... I wish that I had written some of these wonderful poems myself. --Maged Zaher

The poems in Zan de Parry's debut collection, Cold Dogs, teeter between deadpan humor and heartbreak, producing a new homegrown surrealism. Coupled with the poet's deceptively simple line drawings, these questioning and conversational poems operate on the sidelines of reason, dictated by human instinct. For readers familiar with the poems of Richard Brautigan and James Tate, Parry similarly travels in the bizarre, absurd, and existential, populating his poems with brilliant moments of heartfelt reverie and amusement. The matter-of-factness of the world perceived in Cold Dogs introduces a compelling and exciting sensibility to contemporary poetry.
Zan de Parry lives in Ypsilanti, Michigan, and is a road dog for a tractor auction based out of southern Illinois. He has published multiple chapbooks including Vibraphone (Brest Press), Hennie (Tabloid Presse) and History, Memory, Love, America, Syllogism (Amateur Press). He also runs Keith LLC with his brother Matthew Hodges, with whom he co-authored the full-length Austerity Brunch (Keith LLC). Cold Dogs is his first full-length book of poems.

A unique debut poetry collection by an up-and-coming New York author, including fictional artist statements and proposals for performance projects

Morgan Võ's fascinating and highly original debut, The Selkie, is organized into three linked sections, animated by jokes, confusion, existential horror and banality. In an outdoor market, we meet an unlikely hero in The Monger, buying and selling fish from his stall while the poems around him touch on topics of racial capitalism, cultural ties to animals and food, dislocation, diaspora and the impacts of the nuclear family. Also included are The Monger's own written documents that propose a series of year-long performance pieces, each seemingly created to test and explore his specific individuality among a community of displaced histories. Võ investigates how the shadows of larger global issues link with our intimate and daily interactions. The Selkie introduces an entirely unique voice within the landscape of contemporary American poetry.
Morgan Võ (born 1989) is a poet and librarian, and a current member of the Poetry Project Newsletter editorial collective. His poems have most recently appeared in the Brooklyn Rail and Wyrm. Originally from coastal Virginia, he lives now in Sunset Park, Brooklyn.

The eagerly awaited second collection of tender, considerate poems by The Song Cave editor Alan Felsenthal

Six years ago, Alan Felsenthal's Lowly was heralded in the Boston Review for its dreamlike fables and quasi-parables ... [a] striking debut collection [that] bypasses many of contemporary poetry's usual movements, feints and sources. Now, Felsenthal's poignant second collection of poems, Hereafter, moves between the difficult work of mourning and the spirited nature of life. Both an elegy for a dear friend and a search for signs of renewal, these poems recover pastoral symbols of sorrow from cliché. Essential in their attempt at consolation, Felsenthal's requiems traverse landscapes--the ocean, the earth and the moon--using both humor and pathos to awaken the depths of feeling that follow loss.
Alan Felsenthal is the author of Lowly (Ugly Duckling Presse, 2017). He currently serves as the head of The Song Cave. His writing has appeared in BOMB, the Brooklyn Rail, Harper's, the New York Review of Books and the New York Times Magazine. He teaches poetry at NYU Tandon School of Engineering.

This collection marks the long overdue introduction of a major Latin American poet to English-language readers

Acclaimed Argentinian poet Roberta Iannamico's Many Poems animates the particulars of an imaginary world that lives deeply inside our real one, tapping into poetry's distinctive ability to magically transform daily scenes into purely ecstatic visions. A lonely winter day, the methods of lighting a cigarette, a gentle rain, a naked woman asleep in a field--whether the world of Iannamico's poems is wide awake or asleep (or sometimes both), she softly imbues a dreamlike quality into every line. Masterfully translated by Alexis Almeida, Many Poems is Iannamico's first full-length book to be published in English.
Roberta Iannamico lives in Villa Ventana, Argentina. She has published several books of poetry, including El zorro gris, El zorro blanco, Mamuskhas, El collar de fideos, Tendal and several books for children. Her poems have been translated into English and Portuguese.
Alexis Almeida is the author of the chapbooks Things I Have Made a Fiction (2024, winner of the Oversound chapbook contest) and I Have Never Been Able to Sing (Ugly Ducking Presse 2018). Her first full-length book, Caetano, is forthcoming in 2025 with The Elephants. She teaches at the Bard Microcollege at the Brooklyn Public Library and edits 18 Owls Press.

The 2022 Windham-Campbell Prize winner Wong May's landmark anthology of Tang Dynasty poetry

Chinese poetry is unique in world literature in that it was written for the better part of 3,000 years by exiles and refugees. Known as the Golden Age of Poetry, the Tang Dynasty was a time when poems were bartered in the marketplace for wine and tea and posted in temples and taverns, the words of poets unmissable as street art and signage. Monks, courtiers, courtesans, woodsmen and farmhands were fluent in poetry. More than reading matter, it was a common currency--whether as a necessity or luxury in times of rampant warfare, droughts, famine, plague and man-made and natural disasters. Chinese history can be read in the words of the poets. It was left for poetry to teach the least and the most, says the translator Wong May, a literacy of the heart in a barbarous world. True to the spirit of classics, these poems from 1,200 years ago read like they were still being written somewhere in the world--to be read today, and tomorrow: In dark times we read by the light of letters. In this anthology of the era's poetry, we meet Du Fu, Li Bai, Wang Wei and others less familiar to readers in English.
Wong May was born in China's wartime capital, Chongqing, in 1944. She was brought up in Singapore by her mother, a classical Chinese poet and studied English Literature at the University of Singapore with the poet D.J. Enright. From 1966 to 1968 she was at the Iowa Writers Workshop. Her fourth book of poems, Picasso's Tears: Poems, 1978-2013, was published by Octopus Poetry. Wong May currently lives in Dublin. She paints under the name Ittrium Coey, and has exhibited her work in Dublin and Grenoble.

Once again, we encounter Notley as one the great interlocutors of the world, a dedicated advocate for what is between and beyond definition. --Tess Michaelson, Full Stop

Alice Notley, the author of more than 40 books of poetry, has delivered an expert array of discussions over the last three decades. Telling the Truth as It Comes Up: Selected Talks & Essays 1991-2018 offers a significant contribution to literature, reimagining the possibilities of writing in our time and the complicated business of how and why writers devote their lives to their craft. Whether she is writing about other poets--Ed Dorn, Allen Ginsberg, Homer, bpNichol, Douglas Oliver or William Carlos Williams--noir fiction, the First Gulf War, dreams or giving us insight into her own work, Notley's observations are original, sobering and always memorable. This collection often eschews the typical style of essay or lecture, resisting any categorization, and is consciously disobedient to academic structures in form. The results are thrilling new modes of thinking that may change the ways we read and write.
Alice Notley was born in Bisbee, Arizona, in 1945, and grew up in Needles, California. During the late '60s and early '70s she lived a traveling poet's life before settling on New York's Lower East Side. For 16 years there, she was an important force in the eclectic second generation of the so-called New York School. Notley is the author of more than 40 books of poetry, including At Night the States, the double volume Close to Me and Closer . . . (The Language of Heaven) and Désamère and How Spring Comes, which was a co-winner of the San Francisco Poetry Award. In 1998, Penguin published Mysteries of Small Houses, which was one of three finalists for the Pulitzer Prize and the winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for Poetry. In 2015 she was awarded the Ruth Lilly Prize for lifetime achievement in poetry.

The Maybe-Bird is a beautiful net cast in the hope to retrieve, and a wonderful net to get caught in as a reader. --Burgi Zenhaeusern, River Mouth Review

The Maybe-Bird cements Jennifer Elise Foerster as a visionary voice in contemporary poetry. Through a spiraling sequence of lyric poems, a cast of voices--oracles, ghosts, water--speaks to a long history of genocide, displacement and ecological devastation. Foerster uses new poetic forms and a highly conceptual framework to build these poems from myth, memory and historical document, resurfacing Mvskoke language and story on the palimpsest of Southeastern US history. Foerster leads us on a journey through the visible and invisible landscapes of our human story, through what feels like multiple lifetimes, where we hear the language of the shifting weather and stand on the haunted edge of the world.
Jennifer Elise Foerster received her PhD in English and Literary Arts at the University of Denver and her MFA from the Vermont College of the Fine Arts, and is an alumna of the Institute of American Indian Arts (IAIA) in Santa Fe. She is the recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts Creative Writing Fellowship and was a Wallace Stegner Fellow in Poetry at Stanford. Foerster is the author of Leaving Tulsa (2013) and Bright Raft in the Afterweather (2018), both published by the University of Arizona Press. Foerster is of European and Mvskoke descent, and is a member of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation of Oklahoma. She lives in San Francisco.

I count Ronald Johnson as one of the defining peers of my own imagined company of poets. --Robert Creeley

Ronald Johnson's underground classic of visionary and queer poetics, Valley of the Many-Colored Grasses, has been legendarily hard to find for over 50 years. In this book of poems, Johnson creates a specifically North American vision that references everything from ancient Native American myths to Johnny Appleseed, from Charles Darwin to The Wizard of Oz, microcosmically transforming the vast open expanse of the plains into delicate flower petals. These are poems of observation, transformation and a uniquely subtle sensibility harmonically tuned to the stars. Masterfully crafted examples of poetic music and textures, Johnson weaves text together to show the world from multiple angles of vision--not only his own-- and to explore what others have seen and experienced of the world. One of the most unheralded poets in literature, Ronald Johnson needs to be securely placed in history with the likes of his fellow dreamers: Stan Brakhage, Marguerite Young, Charles Ives, Marsden Hartley and the Transcendentalists.
Ronald Johnson (1935-98) was drafted into the US Army in 1954, and attended Columbia University through the G.I. Bill. Romantically involved with the poet and publisher Jonathan Williams throughout the 1960s, the two walked the Appalachian trail and wandered throughout England before Johnson set off alone to find his own version of Oz in San Francisco. There, Johnson managed a famous gay leather bar, wrote a number of cookbooks, and became a founder of the Rainbow Motorcycle Club, a gay social club described by Johnson as a band of lusty roistering men, often partying till dawn. His other books of poems include A Line of Poetry, A Row of Trees (1964), The Book of the Green Man (1967), Songs of the Earth (1970), Eyes & Objects (1976), Radios (1977), The Shrubberies (2001) and ARK (1996, 2013).

These poems are stitched with lush, unforeseen textures and unexhausted time. ...They make the ghost of John Keats smile in ecstasy. Raymond Roussel would have kept this collection under his pillow. --Lucy Ives

Emily Skillings' highly anticipated second collection of poems, Tantrums in Air, is a wild romp through verbal reality, marking her as one of contemporary poetry's shining stars of humor, insight and edge. It follows her first collection, Fort Not, published by the Song Cave in 2017, which Publishers Weekly called a fabulously eccentric, hypnotic and hypervigilant debut. Skillings writes through various poetic forms. Featuring a ballet in four acts--part ghost, part sponge / a lump of pure refusal--addresses to past loves--I circle the circle / Of a compact mirror, open--and an unconventional treatise on education, Tantrums in Air is smart and honest, reinventing both what's possible and what we should expect from poetry.
Emily Skillings received her MFA from Columbia University School of the Arts. Her recent work has been featured in Harper's, Poetry, Granta and the New York Review of Books.

Inspired by the traditional Korean sijo, David Seung's first poetry collection reflects on the country's struggle for independence and his own family's sacrifices in achieving it

The debut book of poems by David Seung, Silkworm's Pansori is a collection of English-language sijo poems: a traditional Korean poetic form that is straightforward in its syntax but emotionally nuanced. Following this historical form closely, these are poems of elegance and subtlety, like painted still lifes imbued with heartbreaking subtlety and metaphor. Yet the poet can only get so far with this exercise before his own personal Korean history, a family legacy of war and torture, starts creeping in to shatter the otherwise poetic calm. Inserted toward the end of the book is the Korean Declaration of Independence; among the signers is the poet's great-great-grandfather. Asking the reader to contextualize this document with the history of sijo and his own family saga, Seung gracefully addresses generations of anger and pain, and reflects on the intricacies of human existence.
David Seung is a Korean American stand-up comedian and writer. He holds an MFA in creative writing from Portland State University, where he now teaches.

The fourth collection from a rising star of contemporary American poetry

Hannah Brooks-Motl's fourth collection of poems is an expansive record of time and thought, weaving together philosophy, science, theology, dreams, grief, literary theory, criticism, history and ideas of utopia--making for a book that continuously surprises and is nearly impossible to categorize. Engaging with centuries of poetic tradition, Ultraviolet of the Genuine leaves room for the development of everything, abstract and alive, even giving ants the spotlight in one long poem. These poems propose a new metaphysics, weighing everyday moments wherein the elusive and ultraviolet radiate. Again, Brooks-Motl challenges the ways we read poetry, not by opting for either the head or the heart, but by choosing both.
Hannah Brooks-Motl is the author of the poetry collections The New Years (2014), M (2015) and Earth (2019). In a review of Earth in Adroit Journal, Jonathan Suhr writes that in this collection, The self becomes a referential object defined by its relations to definitions that are also always changing: society, home, family, poetry, memory. Brooks-Motl's poems and essays have appeared in Best American Experimental Writing, Cambridge Literary Review, Chicago Review, Modernism/modernity and Tupelo Quarterly.
