I love to swim in the sea, which keeps talking to itself in the monotone of a vagabond who no longer recalls exactly how long he's been on the road. Swimming is like prayer: palms join and part, join and part, almost without end. --from "On Swimming" Without End draws from each of Adam Zagajewski's English-language collections, both in and out of print--Tremor, Canvas, and Mysticism for Beginners--and features new work that is among his most refreshing and rewarding. These poems, lucidly translated, share the vocation that allows us, in Zagajewski's words, "to experience astonishment and to stop still in that astonishment for a long moment or two."

Rose McCoy (she/her) is a poet and writer from West Virginia. She often writes on themes of love, loss, and other things that hit her in the heart. She has been published by The Passionfruit Review, Moonbow Magazine, Bottlecap Press, Ghost Girls Zine, Bullshit Lit, and more. She can be found online @24hrmccoy and in person on rare occasions. WHEN THE WORLD DIDN'T END is her second chapbook. "To read WHEN THE WORLD DIDN'T END is to spy a cactus wren trying to take forgotten holiday tinsel through a barbed wire in order to build the perfect nest for their mate-terrifying, but so mesmerizing you can't turn away. Rose McCoy weaves words through these pages like silk prophecies from another nebula-the teeth of paper dragons, laughter at an old joke, God as a teenage girl trying her best to fix the mess we made of all that she gave. WHEN THE WORLD DIDN'T END is the petals falling on your head when you walk outside after a hard rain. It's the sweet song your grandma never got to teach you but always wanted to. It's the bit of endorphin bliss after an anxiety attack. WHEN THE WORLD DIDN'T END is a must read." - Clem Flowers, author of New Flowers For The Blue Dogs & LUSH EYED//BLEED MOONSHINE "Contemporary and raw yet still tender, WHEN THE WORLD DIDN'T END is a love letter to surrender. McCoy gives herself over to her faith, her guilt, her body, and her unflinching desire to exist as her truest self. Not only does the world go on, but so does her spirit, her fire, her will." -Emily Perkovich, EIC of Querencia Press & author of baby, sweetheart, honey

World Without End, Claude Wilkinson's fourth poetry collection, takes its title from the last words of the Gloria Patri. But the preceding words--"as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be"-- also echo the book's overarching theme: the seemingly infinite spiritual implications woven throughout our experience in the natural world. The poems are organized into meditations on family and community, spiritual worldviews, art and its insights, and nature's endless source of ever-relevant metaphor. The poems also speak to each other across these sections--and even with poems in Wilkinson's earlier collections. World Without End opens with "Among Other Things, My Father Teaches Me How to Mow Grass," exploring the relationship of father and son, something that is revisited later on in "Salvia." Both poems long for conciliation between father and son through yard work--restoring order in the garden, a lost Eden. Wilkinson's gift for ekphrastic poetry remains strong in World Without End, though here it is more referential and allusive. Rather than engaging specific works of art, the poet strives to understand the broader aesthetic visions of figures like Theodore Dreiser, Vincent Van Gogh, and Walter Anderson. In the title poem, a reference to Edward Hicks's The Peaceable Kingdom suggests art's ephemeral yet sustaining power--and an irrepressible yearning for a return to paradise.

A reinvestigation of chemical biological weapons dropped on the Hmong people in the fallout of the Vietnam War In this staggering work of documentary, poetry, and collage, Mai Der Vang reopens a wrongdoing that deserves a new reckoning. As the United States abandoned them at the end of the Vietnam War, many Hmong refugees recounted stories of a mysterious substance that fell from planes during their escape from Laos starting in the mid-1970s. This substance, known as “yellow rain,” caused severe illnesses and thousands of deaths. These reports prompted an investigation into allegations that a chemical biological weapon had been used against the Hmong in breach of international treaties. A Cold War scandal erupted, wrapped in partisan debate around chemical arms development versus control. And then, to the world’s astonishment, American scientists argued that yellow rain was the feces of honeybees defecating en masse—still held as the widely accepted explanation. The truth of what happened to the Hmong, to those who experienced and suffered yellow rain, has been ignored and discredited. Integrating archival research and declassified documents, Yellow Rain calls out the erasure of a history, the silencing of a people who at the time lacked the capacity and resources to defend and represent themselves. In poems that sing and lament, that contend and question, Vang restores a vital narrative in danger of being lost, and brilliantly explores what it means to have access to the truth and how marginalized groups are often forbidden that access.
