Mercury
Mercury
by Ariana Reines
Staff Pick
This book reads like a story petered out in clear unpretentious style between long works which weave together a sense of communication, as if with a lover, a friend, or oneself. Reines has an uncanny ability to make the mundane a powerful source of emotional relief. I keep turning back to the beginning whenever I turn the last page and am illuminated more with every reading.

Two Haloed Mourners
Two Haloed Mourners
by Bernadette Mayer
Publisher Comments
As its title would suggest, Two Haloed Mourners is a work marked by a sometimes amorphous, sometimes definite sense of spirituality, a spirituality immanent to every stray thought and object. Loss and regret also figure prominently here, not as features... (read more)
