“OSSIA is thrillingly alive. There’s an inventive daring at work in the lines that feels at times like a song, at times like the voice in your head, telling you about yourself and others, everything you do and don’t want to know.”

–Alexander Chee, author of How to Write an Autobiographical Novel

“There was no need to dream it; I could feel my organic machine taking in each of Zoë Hitzig’s remarkable poems through my eyes, processed with the algorithm of breath into an epiphany. Imagine a book that can spur transfiguration; it is in your hands!”

–CACONRAD, author of Listen to the Golden Boomerang Return

“Laura Newbern’s A Night in the Country is at once direct and mysterious, a book of declarations and decrees subsumed in the language of the fable. These are exceptional poems, and a subtle song of heartbreak plays through every line.”

–JERICHO BROWN, author of The Tradition

“The Grid is no mere footnote to the classics – in this work, Mandel changes the shape of the American narrative poem forever.”

–Katie Peterson, author of A Piece of Good News

“This is that rare work that is both profoundly alert to its historical moment and also, in the questions it entertains and the magnitude of its intent, timeless. It seems to me a lesson in how to make something of where we find ourselves.”

–From the foreword by Louise Glück
