Seven new collections this week: grief, war, place, family, and the stubborn persistence of the body. From the Ukrainian diaspora's reckoning with an ongoing war to the physics of a splash; from the streets of Miami to a covered wagon in 1875; these books find form in lived experience. Julia Alvarez returns to poetry after twenty years, Daniel Moysaenko wins the Academy of American Poets First Book Award, and Leigh Lucas and P Scott Cunningham each make an indelible debut. All seven are available now, release and pre-order.
