Description
Winner of the Hayden Carruth Award Radio Crackling, Radio Gone is a debut collection of poetry that explores multiple logics of perception, association, and interpretation. Navigating the edges where things begin to disappear, the poems inhabit border zones of transformation where memory slides into imagination, wakefulness meets sleep, and things possessed become lost. What seemed a mystery was in fact a choice. Insert bird for sorrow. What seemed a memory was in fact a dividing line. show more Insert bird for wind. Insert wind for departure when everyone is standing still. . .Radio Crackling, Radio Gone was selected from the 1,200 submissions to the Hayden Carruth Award. By the time the anonymous manuscript was chosen as winner, the cover sheet was filled with readers' commentary: "stunning" and "lovely" and a bold "YES!" show lessTags

There is a word that silence bestows upon horses and gardens where the otherworld is made to cast its bright shadow of sempiternal weight… emotion running hot in a town that does not forget although it seems to pass us by

Lisa Olstein puts her signature prismatic lens to profound use in her fourth collection. Future-haunted and disaster veering, Late Empire inhabits the complexities of the present moment. Staked at the troubled intersection of our public and private lives, these intimate and brutal poems expose a dailiness shaped by political absurdity and show more implicate a language disfigured by persistent war. Wonderfully tender, syntactically dazzling, and defiantly funny in the face of terror, Lato Empire speaks just in time, signaling that hope and fear are closer than we know, and they face in the same direction. show less
