October 08, 2014 Aimee Nezhukumatathil and Ross Gay, “Lace and Pyrite” (Organic Weapon Arts Press, 2014)
Chapbookapalooza 2014
Aimee Nezhukumatathil & Ross Gay
Lace & Pyrite
Organic Weapon Arts Press, 2014
Two gardens, 500 miles apart, managed to be in conversation with one another over the span of five seasons. What came of their conversation was this collection of epistolary poems by two brilliant poets. Part exchange, part mediation on hands in dirt and the deep well of winter, this collection offers sustenance to the mind as the garden does to the body. We do not need technology to connect us; our innate connections already exist– we just have to recognize them, nurture them, and watch them grow.

October 07, 2014 Rachel Moritz, “Many Forms in Water” (above/ground press, 2014)
Chapbookapalooza 2014
Rachel Moritz
Many Forms in Water
above/ground press, 2014
Born of a connection to Theodor Schwenk’s 1965 text Sensitive Chaos: The Creation of Flowing Forms in Water and Air, this collection seeks to inhabit that infinitesimal space left between water and that which holds it. Not everything that conforms to its container is formless– sometimes, like Moritz’s verse, a liquid will become a gas and a gas will become all things, inhabit every scant surface of the earth we’ve been given. Moritz can make words pour, flow, and puddle.

Chapbookapalooza 2014
Nikki Wallschlaeger
I Would Be the Happiest Bird
Horseless Press, 2014
It is transient, it is migratory, it embarks from the restlessness of youth and family and lands in self-actualization.
I’ve never/ thought of myself as much of a threat, sitting here in a room w/ cats & a space heater trying to figure out/ how birds flying in the sky still has relevant meaning, how not caring if it does means more than// a thesis or carefully splattered book (the trick is believing in yourself long enough so that the words/ come out more or less honest, pitting vulnerability against craft.)
I Would Be the Happiest Bird interrogates our “where?” and calls to piece of us that still looks up and wonders, “if I could fly, how far would my wings take me from here and would I ever come back?”

October 01, 2014 Daniel Borzutzky, “Bedtime Stories for the End of the World!” (Bloof Books, 2014)
Chapbookapalooza 2014
Daniel Borzutzky
Bedtime Stories for the End of the World
Bloof Books, 2014
This is a collection in which the synaptic leaps have their own synaptic leaps. In direct confrontation with neoliberalism, Borzutzky holds nothing back. His verse levels the page like a chainsaw, leaving the surreal, bloodied and bare.
“At times like this he thinks: I can say just about anything right now.
This is, after all, a bedtime story for the end of the world.
I am moving beneath ground and not sleeping and trying to cross the border from one sick part of the world to another”
Prepare to be altered by these poems.

Amber Atiya
the fierce bums of doo wop

Chapbookapalooza 2014
Ashley Inguanta
For the Woman Alone
Ampersand Books, 2014
More artistic creation than poetry collection, more journal than sketchbook: For the Woman Alone resists category to transport the reader into the mind of an artist. In her own handwriting, Inguanta invites the reader into a world of fragmented beauty, memory, and vision through the clearest lens.

Ken Pobo
When the Light Turns Green
Spruce Alley Press, 2014
A garden is not always a garden: our metaphors speak of our experiences and musings. Pobo shows the reader how seasons can mean change of weather, passage of time, and realizations of mortality.

Chapbookapalooza 2014
Laura Foley
Joy Street
Headmistress Press, 2014
Within Joy Street are access panels to the poet’s mind. She has a stunning way of bringing a reader to a place and time and then making them feel comfortable only to pull their attention and turn their head towards the heart of the matter. The poems in this collection are worlds– worlds orbiting memory and understanding

Chapbookapalooza 2014
Lisa Gluskin Stonestreet
The Greenhouse
Bull City Press, 2014
In a collection that subverts sentiment even as it delves into the rich inner life of human sentimentality, Stonestreet stretches language and the reader’s expectations across the page. White space is a mind at work, parenthesis are interrogations, and prosody is the song of new life. This chapbook is must-read for anyone marching toward an unknown era of being.

Chapbookapalooza 2014
Leslie McGrath
By the Windpipe
ELJ Publications, 2014
A poetry of the mind, a poetry of form, a poetry of sound? McGrath’s verse resists a container– it springs up organically from human impulse and psyche. By the Windpipe is a collection, years in the making and guided by a brilliant and deliberate hand.
