Book excerpt: “One of the most important books of poetry to come along in years.” —Craig Morgan Teicher, NPR Named a Best Book of 2019 by NPR and Publishers Weekly, Hybrida is a stirring and confident examination of mixed-race identity, violence, and history skillfully rendered through the lens of motherhood. In an agile blend of zuihitsu, ghazal, mosaic poems, and lyric essays, Tina Chang “evokes the bottomless love and terror of motherhood as she describes raising her mixed-race son” (New York Times). Ambitious and revelatory, Hybrida establishes Chang as one of the most vital voices of her generation.

Book excerpt: The collection, titled For the Hope of Spring: hybrid poems, published by Hawakal Publishers, Kolkata, India, is Shamayita Sen's first collection of poems. Like all memories, it smells of old life, chipped wallpaper and burnt wood. The poems have been neatly compartmentalized into: On Dissent; Grief and Other People; Love, Healing, etc., each section adhering to a particular dominant emotion and theme. The collection speaks of daily life, longings and idle musings on human existence, the lives we come across everyday, their personal sorrows and political sufferings. Some poems are inspired by real life experiences and Shamayita says she shall be ever appreciative of her friends and colleagues for allowing her to commemorate those as universal human emotions. The collection also houses a generous amount of such deeper emotions as love, hope and belonging. One's cultural and gender identities are crucial to living their busy urban lives-the poems could be a relief read or a shock therapy aiding one's realization of the same. The images are painstakingly collected through cold Delhi metro rides and Kolkata's warmth to classroom discussions and newspaper clippings. Dream images and the human subconscious also play a pertinent role in the collection.

These are passionate and accessible poems, simple in diction and declaration, elegant in image and syntax.

Book excerpt: With Orbit, prize-winning author Cynthia Zarin confirms her place as an indispensable American poet of our time. In this, her fifth collection, Zarin turns her lyric lens on the worlds within worlds we inhabit and how we navigate our shared predicament—the tables of our lives on which the news of the day is strewn: the president speaking to parishioners in Charleston, the ricochet of violence, near and far. Whether writing about hairpin turns in the stair of childhood, about the cat’s claw of anxiety, on the impending loss of a young friend, or how “love endures, give or take,” here is the poet who, in the title poem, “bartered forty summers for black pearls” and whose work is full of such wagers, embodied in playing cards, treble notes, snow globes, and balancing acts. Zarin reminds us that the atmosphere created by our experiences shapes and defines the orbit we move through. Along the way, she is both witness and, often indirectly, subject—“I do not know how to hold the beauty and sorrow of my life,” she writes. This book is an attempt at an answer.

Book excerpt: A little more than two thousand years ago, the Roman poet Virgil wrote his Georgics, a long poetic sequence about agriculture, suffused with profound reflections on the relationship between humanity, nature, and the divine--and reflecting the political turmoil of his times. California poet Karen An-hwei Lee, inspired by Virgil, has created her own dense, richly-layered collection of "Neo-Georgics," constituting an extended exploration of such motifs as happiness, olive groves, vineyards, soil chemistries, the seacoast, and the birth of trees. In Lee's contemporary rendering we confront an environment blighted by our carbon footprint; advancements in agricultural technology and genetic engineering; the digital age; fossil fuel transportation; and vanishing bees. Rose Is a Verb explores the ancient tradition of agrarian labor, including tilling the soil and interpreting weather signs and war omens. The poems flash with verbal ingenuity and mind-bending allusions--challenging the heart and mind but repaying slow, careful readings many times over. A meditation on the natural environment, this collection serves as a biomythography of procreation and a reflection on the meaning of happiness.
