"SLEEPLESSNESS is a postmodern pillow book charting desire’s insomnolence. In a series of fissured fragments beginning at 3 a.m. ‘with a wide bed as a harbour’ and ending with a 6 a.m. aubade, the narrator writes back to Sei Shōnagon’s THE PILLOW BOOK, politicising pleasure by revealing language’s chimeric intimacies. This work sits beguilingly at the boundary between bodily knowledge and language’s attempts to catch and name, transforming the idea of in-betweenness into a thrilling threshold between intimacy and strangeness, ardour and uncertainty, and speaking and silence. "

-- from Foreword by Cassandra Atherton

New release the 21st of November: Trim Reckonings by DeWitt Henry.

In this stunning new collection, DeWitt Henry reckons with a past that is personal, familial, and cultural as well as the present dysfunction of American political life. His narratives and portraits are drawn and colored by candid and resonant observations. “Are scars proof of wounds / or of healing?” So asks DeWitt Henry’s splendid book of poems. Profound and often profoundly, wryly funny, Trim Reckonings asks questions poems don’t seem to have asked before, and leaves the reader in wonder. These are hard-won, earned, poems of passionate engagement.
