Wild Fin

Monica Mody (author)

Monica Mody’s soulful new poetry collection, Wild Fin, weaves the reader through an eclectic warp and weft of grief and fury, rupture and suture, mysticism and calls for climate and social justice. A healer in the guise of a poet, Mody asks, “when do we stop seeing, being seen? . . . How will you unbend? / Of what is the new world made?” and reminds us of “what the body remembers.” With artful line breaks and lush language that imbue rich layers of meaning, these poems demonstrate “writing’s capacity to un-silence” with “words [that] flock together into language that will change skies.”

Unsolaced Faces We Meet In Our Dreams

Moazzam Sheikh (author)

”I’ve not read anything quite like “Unsolaced Faces,” with its scent of unrequited love, its flavor of deceit. In dense poetic language, Moazzam Sheikh explores possession and madness inherent in the pursuit of love, when ardor turns to anger, and devotion leads to desertion. This odyssey exploring sticky love and intellectual fulfillment in bohemian San Francisco will both seduce and confound you.”

Bark Archipelago

Sophia Naz (author)

“Sophia Naz’s Bark Archipelago hits startling and giddy, inventive  and destroyful. Sinewy lines of chime and pun, misdirection  and feint make to paint grotesques. Excess tangled in loss, thus “everything will kill you,” even a lawn, even a length of fabric,  even marriage. Naz pans slowly over the gory flensing of a whale  and later breaks a human body into six members under twilight  as gelatinous as blubber. This is a book of material, a broadside  of extracted flesh and stone. Things. And the people who are  made them. Material: the poet’s language itself should fill your  mouth before you spill it into air like “windborne plastic bags”;  till the thought-bubbles come, “taking up all the oxygen.” Yes:  Bark Archipelago is breathless, racing to the line break before  autocorrect can aggress or we wheel and deal the globe to our end.”

A Footbridge to Hell Called Love

Moazzam Sheikh (author)

“Aslam is a practical romantic, an assimilating writer in love with movies and gossip, patrolling his landscape of shame with lustful thoughts. In pre-pandemic San Francisco, where people still go to parties and exchange pretentious intellectual chit-chat, Aslam finds himself on a digressive tour of sexual anxieties as the true target of his affection fades out time and again. I found the details of City landmarks and the dialogue so accurate at times, that I almost felt paranoid myself. Laugh and weep, or just keep turning the pages, but behind the words is a genuine paradox about finding your place.”

– David R. Lincoln, author of Mobility Lounge

A Sense of Time and Other Stories

Anuradha Kumar (author)

“Imagine a collection of bells, each forged for a particular sound…Anuradha Kumar is the master bell ringer, offering stories almost symphonic in their orchestration, range, and compassion. Answer the call of these bells.” – Brian Leung, author of World Famous Love Acts

A Sense of Time and Other Stories explores conflicts of familial obligations, breakdowns of communication between friends and strangers, and clashes of culture, how tradition and the future encroach upon one another. Enlivening, at times humorous and heartbreaking, this is an utterly humane and deeply satisfying read.” – Donald Quist, author of For Other Ghosts and Harbors

“Kumar’s writing can feel subtle. Brief. Quiet even. Then you hit one air pocket, then another. In her world, the dead refuse to forgive, ardor is immortal, and contact with other beings has already been made, love notes exchanged.” – Deepak Unnikrishnan, author of Temporary People

Cafe Le Whore and Other Stories

Moazzam Sheikh (author)

“Sheikh may be the Pakistani immigrant Woody Allen of our times, wringing guilt and manhood torments out of his multicultural backdrops. Sheikh’s consciousness of style sometimes drives things to the point that he throws words at the page a-la Jackson Pollack – it’s worth it, especially as the syntax becomes more of an illustration of the kinds of challenges and barriers the characters must confront.”  David Lincoln

The Aim of Art

T. G. Colbert (Author)

How does a straight American soldier with a girl back home return from a tour of duty in Iceland with The Works of Oscar Wilde as his most cherished souvenir?

The Circle of Illusion

Poems by Gurcharan Rampuri (Author)

“There is a powerful metaphysical feel to Gurcharan Rampuri’s poetry. The insights he has distilled from his life both in the Punjab and Vancouver emerge in sharp lyrical form, bittersweet musings on life and death, desire and family, community and how it tears apart, the everyday and the quicksilver horizon of what lies beyond …” Meena Alexander, author of Poetics of Dislocation and Quickly Changing River
