Bundle includes:
Alive at the End of the World by Saeed Jones: Pierced by grief and charged with history, this poetry collection confronts our everyday apocalypses. Jones strips away American artifice in order to reveal the intimate grief of a mourning son and the collective grief bearing down on all of us.
Exiles of Eden by Ladan Osman: Poems steeped in the Somali tradition refract the streets of Ferguson, the halls of Guantánamo, and the fields near Abu Ghraib through the myth of Adam and Eve to ask: What does it mean to be a refugee?
Good Stock Strange Blood by Dawn Lundy Martin: Bold, formally innovative prose poems that challenge our ideas of race, voice, bodies, and justice.
The Malevolent Volume by Justin Phillip Reed: An exploration of the myths and transformations of Black being, on a continuum between the monstrous and the sublime.
Things to Do in Hell by Chris Martin: A poetic walking tour of hell—or is it heaven? Martin’s poems wrestle with reconciling the shocking horrors and common graces of everyday life in America.
Thousand Star Hotel by Bao Phi: Poems from a father, a refugee, an activist resisting the invisibility of the Asian American urban poor. Thousand Star Hotel confronts the silence around racism, police brutality, and the invisibility of the Asian American urban poor.
