  Wandering and referential poems rooted in inheritance and place, which trace the familial and political arc of displacement and return with humor, tenderness, and rage.  (On sale 2/9/27)

• Steelhead by Colby Cotton
  A haunting debut chronicles the suicide of a childhood friend and the aftermath it leaves on not only the speaker, but the community, itself. This audacious collection seeks to resurrect the past, find the home we can never return to, and reconcile a future that may not exist. (On Sale 2/16/27)

  Using popular culture as a touchstone, Padua’s poems are compulsively readable daydreams. No connection is too wild as he explores the nature of time, family, and identity. (On Sale 3/9/27)

• Voyage to the Center by Gemma Gorga, translated by Sharon Dolin
  Voyage to the Center takes the reader on a journey into the space between speech and silence, with minimalist poems that shimmer with presence. (On Sale 3/23/27)
