Potted Meat by Steven Dunn
"Steven Dunn's POTTED MEAT is full of wonder and silence and beauty and strangeness and ugliness and sadness and truth and hope. I am so happy it is in the world. This book needs to be read."—Laird Hunt
Water & Power by Steven Dunn
"Dunn's remarkable talent for storytelling collapses the boundaries between poetry and prose, memoir and fiction. Dunn reveals, exacerbates, and speculates on the gargantuan mythology of a legendary branch of the American armed forces: The Navy. How is a superpower created and maintained? Who maintains it? What stories are told, buried, or collected along the way stories of survival, violence, duty, and ethics? Among the interviews, photographs, and journal entries Dunn shows us an intimate portrait of power: like water, you are never quite sure who is claiming control beneath the surface."—Nikki Wallschlaeger
Drinking with O'Hara by Glenn Freeman
"What amazing powers of attention to the natural world and human interaction alike, an attention that keeps on digging "to where the rhythm runs true." In repetition and variation, in free and fixed forms, Freeman reminds us of the capacity of art to remain in dialog—with self, with others—to sustain intimacy and connection, especially in the most isolating moments."—Mira Rosenthal
Glass, Light, Electricity by Shena McAuliffe
Fleet-footed and capricious, the essays in "Glass, Light & Electricity" wander through landscapes both familiar and unfamiliar, finding them equal parts magical and toxic. They explore and merge public and private history through lyric meditations that use research, association, and metaphor to examine subjects as diverse as neon signs, scalping, heartbreak, and seizures. The winner of the 2019 Permafrost Prize in nonfiction, Shena McAuliffe expands the creative possibilities of form.
