New Poetry
 The Most Natural Thing
by David Keplinger
March 2013
The question is less whether Keplinger benefits from the prose poem than whether prose poetry benefits from Keplinger—a question The Prayers of Others answers with a resounding yes.

 Large White House Speaking
by Mark Irwin
March 2013
To be human is to yearn ( “I study the stars. I arrive and depart”). That’s everywhere evident in this latest from multi-award-winning poet Irwin...In their measured flow, the lines themselves seem to be yearning.
—Barbara Hoffert, Library Journal
 Phantom Camera
by Jaswinder Bolina
March 2013
Winner of the 2012 Green Rose Prize
As full of candor and ontological inquiry as they are of verve, panache, and wit, the poems in Bolina’s second collection stretch and dilate, in order to, as the author puts it, “feel so attached—like a ligament—to the whole shebang of human experience.”

Winner of the 2012 New Issues Poetry Prize
Marni Ludwig has a vast and original mind and spirit, which along with her quiet, sometimes sharp humor, and her tenderness, implicate everyone. Here is the real thing.

AWP Award Series
 Motherlunge
by Kirstin Scott
Winner of the AWP Award for the Novel
Paperback Edition: January 2013
Funny and smart…in Thea and those around her Scott has created characters we believe in and wish well, characters who feel real—strange and sad and happy, like real people are.
