New York-based performance poet, native Floridian, recent MFA graduate and Cave Canem Fellow Robert Anthony Gibbons takes us on a transcontinental and transformative voyage, sweeping and spectacular, across the United States in search of America and self. Seventeen poems log his observations and meditations on the national psyche and his own as Gibbons quits the confines of urban life for spacious and sunny skies, Lincoln's logs, Georgia O’Keefe's cow skulls, the Wishram man's papoose -- only to lose nativism, rediscovering Walt Whitman's passage to India, while establishing his own unique voice and prominent place in literary America.

Blogger Jack Cooper joins the ranks of Dorothy Parker, John Donne and Confucius with his haiku-esque witticisms: “ROMEO AND JULIET, EXPLAINED / You cannot live for love” [Monday, February 11, 2013]; “WORDS FROM A STONE / Both terrible and vain / to have sought love // at a time one felt so little” [Wednesday, March 6, 2013]. No candy-coated sugar pills served here! It seems Cooper’s systematic and objective distillation of his truth serves as an inoculation from fullblown despair. At the pinnacle of disaster, even its perilous aftermath, like a magician he produces the “aha” moment for spiritual uplift and buoyant rebound.

A poet / song-writer on fatherhood -- the good, the bad, and the scary -- up close in the thick of it and then the birds-eye view. Smart, candid, often wickedly funny. The quirky title, strangely familiar, is a parody of Heidi Murkoff’s best-selling pregnancy guide, What to Expect when You’re Expecting.

“Phased II is a kind of love letter written in compressed forms of observation and meditation.” — Michael T. Young, American Book Review, January – April, 2018

The greatest strengths of Phased II are its continuity and its focus. It never strays far from the grip of the moon, and is therefore able to hold a grip on a reader. . . . I suggest reading it, pouring yourself a glass of wine, and then gazing at the moon encouraged by the knowledge that somewhere George Held is probably watching it too. — Benjamin Schmitt, At the Inkwell, January 27, 2017

Joel Allegretti draws creatively and knowledgeably from the musical lexicon in Thrum, a work which paints the outline of its subject suggestively, acknowledging and circumventing the shortcomings of language for articulating a total musical experience ....
