Book excerpt: In FRANK DARK, philosophical and psychological investigation plumb many forms of tangible and visceral experience. The collection engages the environmental crisis, the pandemic, and historical and current turmoil. At once a death story and a love story, it probes the darker corners of seasons, dreams, and journeys through various landscapes among creatures of the earth, sea, and air. Massimilla frankly confronts the scourges of alienation, blindness, blight, injury, addiction, sickness, suicide, death, grief, and underworld ghosts. Out of this deeply unsettled night come vision, compassion, love, and conscious reflections on the nature of perception, identity, reality, and writing itself. In FRANK DARK, Stephen Massimilla offers us visions of light breaking through, even as 'winter's darkness closes in behind our backs.' The poet exults in the runic power of words to wrest luminosity from the veiled surface, to chart the 'heart's weather,' and to bear epiphanic witness to the 'doe browsing in spun mist.' Thus, we are compelled to follow Massimilla, a siren of language, an intoxicator, into his realm of beauty and sadness by a brilliance of thought and a radiance of emotion--at once sensual, playful, spacious, compassionate, heartbreaking. These stunning poems, these daring visions, dazzle."--Emily Fragos "In his new collection, FRANK DARK, Massimilla pens stark and striking landscapes whose very presence seems enchanting and impossible. Here, Massimilla lavishes attention not only on harbors and harvests, but also on details as fine as the 'gasping ragman of shadow hovered / memory-thin between magnesium lamps.' A superb collection."--KYLE Mccord In FRANK DARK, we are granted sudden and sustained access to the intimate conversation of Earth with History. Frond and fish, heron and horizon all account for themselves in lucent encounter with humanness and with the troubled human record. Stephen Massimilla moves far beyond social discourse, into a deeper, communal understanding of language and its fate. That love may be a portion of that fate is a hope these poems cherish beyond words."--Donald Revell In his astonishing new collection, FRANK DARK, Stephen Massimilla graphs...shifting phantasmagoria, investigating how and whether the 'self' might cohere.... By turns winking and melancholic, modernist in ambition but radically contemporary in sensibility... suggesting reading and writing alike as exercises in scripting ourselves.... One hears Stevens here, or Rimbaud, ...but more than this, one hears Massimilla, a master of associative fabulism, darkly frank, finely registering, across this collection, that tide-like flux of impressions in which, as he insistently reminds us, we 'haven't gone under yet.' This is a marvelous book."--Christopher Kempf Poetry.

Book excerpt: WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE • NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A searing, post-apocalyptic novel about a father and son's fight to survive, this "tale of survival and the miracle of goodness only adds to McCarthy's stature as a living master. It's gripping, frightening and, ultimately, beautiful" (San Francisco Chronicle). • From the bestselling author of The Passenger A father and his son walk alone through burned America. Nothing moves in the ravaged landscape save the ash on the wind. It is cold enough to crack stones, and when the snow falls it is gray. The sky is dark. Their destination is the coast, although they don't know what, if anything, awaits them there. They have nothing; just a pistol to defend themselves against the lawless bands that stalk the road, the clothes they are wearing, a cart of scavenged food—and each other. The Road is the profoundly moving story of a journey. It boldly imagines a future in which no hope remains, but in which the father and his son, "each the other's world entire," are sustained by love. Awesome in the totality of its vision, it is an unflinching meditation on the worst and the best that we are capable of: ultimate destructiveness, desperate tenacity, and the tenderness that keeps two people alive in the face of total devastation. Look for Cormac McCarthy's latest bestselling novels, The Passenger and Stella Maris.
