Winner of the 2018 Stan and Tom Wick Poetry Prize
The Many Names for Mother is an exploration of intergenerational motherhood; its poems reach toward the future even as they reflect on the past. This evocative collection hovers around history, trauma, and absence-from ancestral histories of anti-Semitic discrimination in the former Soviet Union to the poet's travels, while pregnant with her son, to death camp sites in Poland. As a descendant of Holocaust...

Description
Poetry is not only a verse on a sheet of blank paper. It is colored with a tear, with a smile of good memories. It is a decision about whether a poet wants to leave his good heart to everyone as an accomplishment of his destiny and his life. Poetry is not imagination, it is a real event. True poets write real poetry.

Two couples, each with a twelve-year-old child, travel to Paris; within a few moments of discovering each other in a crowd, one of their children disappears. A day later, one of the mothers disappears, too. The story that follows is a wonderfully strange, beautifully composed examination of happiness and desperation, complete with a man in a bear suit, a teen pop star, and eight really excellent songs.
Sheila Heti's debut play was first commissioned...

This collection of poetry responds to the lament of Rumi in From the World of Mysteries where he beseeches the wind to bring him a scent of the sweet perfume of the beloved, to bring him a letter written with love. These poems are those "letters" written with love; these poems bring the sweet scent of the beloved to fill the air and soothe the senses. Emphasizing rhythm, atmosphere, color, and space, these poems offer an immediacy of experience. They...

"You'll walk away with more gratitude for the slow burn of the healing process." - Alicia Cook, author of Sorry I Haven't Texted You Back
Tidal Pools and Other Small Infinities blurs the lines between endings and beginnings.

Hay que tener talento genuino para decir lo prohibido. Para quitar la mordaza que la sociedad ha ido imponiendo y declarar sentimientos tabúes que hoy, y gracias a Complicidad, se hacen públicos. La mujer venida del sur se ha puesto un cuchillo en la boca para defender su creación, para cantar lo que otros ocultan. Sí, se convirtió en el susurro inquieto de quien tiene la osadía de leerla. ¡La autora se ha propuesto dejar huella!

Pells mortes, que va guanyar el premi de textos teatrals per a espectacles de Petit format Saó de Ponent 2019, abraça quatre generacions nascudes entre 1888 i 1968: besàvia, àvia, mare i filla. Saumell defuig la linealitat per submergir-nos directament en un cor de veus que dialoguen i entren en conflicte en la gestió d'una memòria que ha estat silenciada i reprimida. La figura de la filla, propera generacionalment a l'autora, és la que burxa...

If poetry is a place to question, I Am a Body of Land by Shannon Webb-Campbell is an attempt to explore a relationship to poetic responsibility and accountability, and frame poetry as a form of re-visioning.
Here Webb-Campbell revisits the text of her earlier work Who Took My Sister, to examine herself, her place and her own poetic strategies. These poems are efforts to decolonize, unlearn, and undo harm.
