PRIMORDIAL is out today via @graywolfpress.bsky.social.
When I saw draft1 I was staggered and astonished, and somehow, even though I knew the content of what I read, I saw her, the work, the struggle, and the saola anew and brilliantly.

In light of all there will be to ponder and act upon this year and now, in what has already proven to be hard and harder times, in an era of continual uprooting and devastation, I am grateful to share with you all another book of poetry, a bittersweet offering.

You would think that people who want the USA to be more competitive economically and culturally would require all Americans to know a language besides English, rather than demanding that English be the official language.

Noemi Press is hyped to publish Juan Felipe Herrera’s new collection, THE COSMIC FLOW.
I say this w/o hyperbole, this is unlike any book he has ever made. Following the pandemic shutdown, he began a daily practice of artpoem mandalas. He did this for years.
This is part of the outcome.
