New books, April 14th: Chrissy Martin, Solange Aguilar, Ina Cariño, Eileen Myles, and Arthur Sze

We have two debut poets from Write Bloody Publishing this week exploring the politics of identity through opposing lenses; one through the heat of pop culture and disability, the other through the colors of Indigenous reclamation. A Whiting Award winner ventures deeper into grief and community. An unpublished novel-in-verse from 1978 finally meets readers. And the current US Poet Laureate, Arthur Sze offers a personal map of nearly two millennia(!!!) of world poetry, written for anyone who has wanted to read a poem from a language they don’t speak. All five are available now!
