These sisters practice dark arts. They know the truths inside myths, that magic isn't some pixie-dust for playtime. They live in our time but comprehend ancient secrets. These sisters walk where and when they please, drawing from the grit and rawness of nature. They know the gods and beasts by name and address them commandingly.

Noah Burton is a rare contemporary male American writer who possesses a sense of humor, a flair for the absurd, and a marvelous poignancy without being a whiney dick. Get this book if you want to be entertained and enlightened by a smooth professional."When the poetry gloom lies heavy upon my head, I have only to remember that these poems are in the world, & for a moment then my life is made whole. Originality of imagination is the rarest of gifts, but Noah Burton makes it looks effortless-his poems remind us of how vulnerable & funny & wondrous & sad & beautifully strange our lives really are. There is a gigantic composure breathing within even the most antic of his lines. His inventions restore me, down to the deepest parts of my heart. I know of no poet under the age of thirty who comes close to what he can do. Silver shadow!"--David RivardCover art by Patrick Yagow

"Franklin K. R. Cline is a unique, new voice in Native American poetry. His personal and confessional poems celebrate everyday life in all its raw, domestic, and intimate dimensions. Love and sex, beer and buffalo wings, sports and television, the weather and Milwaukee, all appear within memorable lyric and prose poems. In the end, this work reaches to reclaim everything that has been stolen by America: the land, the sky, the rhythms of our humanity." --Craig Santos Perez

At times playful, and often profound, Siglin''s verse explores both a melodic nature in language and the power of its calculation. These poems heal and transform the reader, providing a sense of clarity through their surreal crypticism. 

"V.C. McCabe's poems are bound to the land, by fire and flood, by vine and asphalt. This outstanding debut volume is the home that she has made for us in this place, built from a collection of sharp angles and smoothed by generous hands."- ELIZABETH CATTE, author of What You are Getting Wrong About Appalachia
