j/j hastain’s myrrh to re all myth reviewed by Joseph Cooper

We are all given a form, an identity, a self, but what happens when you outgrow the flesh, the pronoun, the title, the masculine/feminine social obligation? What does it mean to be a man? What does it to be a woman? Are we inside each other any less when we ignore our sheer sameness?

Seth Landman’s Sign You Were Mistaken reviewed by Connor Fisher

[D]istinct sentences are placed into arbitrary relation by the poem; this forces the reader to identify (or create) points where meaning adheres in the text and where it slips away or fails to accrete. Landman’s frequently abrupt style also operates as a formal extension of the book’s thematic concerns; it mirrors the nervous energy displayed throughout Sign You Were Mistaken.

Marthe Reed’s Gaze reviewed by Chantel Langlinais

"From political misgivings to redefining the traditional definitions of the gaze to exotic posing in art, the poems call upon us as readers to open a 'pentimenti of carved doors,' to see what lies behind them. To question. To pay attention to the world around us. To travel beyond the Western world."

Denver Quarterly’s fiction, V47 n3&4, reviewed by Maria Anderson

Volume 47 marks a turning point for the Denver Quarterly and represents new editor Laird Hunt's first hand at curating the content rather than overseeing work chosen by his predecessor, the poet Bin Ramke. When asked about his goals for the Denver Quarterly, Hunt says he aims to increase the drive for excellent fiction. "I am a novelist, and while the Quarterly has long been friendly to fiction writers, I think it is fair to say that it is better known as a venue for the best of contemporary poetry. I would love to see if we can make people rip open issues to get at the fiction in the way I know many do to get at the poetry."
