Metabolics: Poems
Jessica E Johnson

Metabolics, a book-length poem, borrows the movements of metabolic pathways to consider how nature accomplishes both balance and deep transformation. In visual figures and prose blocks that bridge the divide between poetry and nonfiction, Jessica E. Johnson employs scientific idioms to construct an allegory about a family in the Pacific Northwest. The region becomes a character in its own right, with cedars, moss, and heavy cloud knitting the mother, father, boy, and girl into their setting.

Who Will Cradle Your Head: Poems
Jared Beloff

In this debut collection, poet Jared Beloff explores the sorrow and anxieties of living and parenting in a world on fire. He paints a vivid and often surreal portrait of loss, denial, the beauty of nature and the sublime relationship between a father and his children. Through a series of lyrical poems about parenting, prose poems about Sasquatch walking the apocalypse and intricate concrete poems about disaster, Beloff takes on one of the greatest challenges of our time: How do we face climate change and all its repercussions? How do we persist and find the love that we all deserve. Beloff’s unflinching approach and unique talents make this collection a must read and Beloff a poet to watch.
