786			<p>Poet and filmmaker Gauri Awasthi&#8217;s poetry collection, <em>Mother Wound</em> (Trio House Press) will be released on on Oct 1, 2026 and is available for orders. Poet Eileen Myles describes the poems as “bright and incidental.” The collection examines the inheritance of trauma from the speaker&#8217;s mother while grappling with questions of identity as a woman and non-citizen living between countries. Structured around the rhythm cycle of Indian classical music (SA-RE-GA-MA-PA-DHA-NI-SA, equivalent to Western Solfège), the book unfolds in eight sections, each corresponding to a musical note, with eight poems per section.

822			<p>This September, Rutgers University Press will release T<em>he Deoliwallahs: The True Story of the 1962 Chinese‑Indian Internment</em>, co‑authored by Joy Ma and Dilip D’Souza. The book brings long‑overdue attention to a chapter of Indian history that has remained largely unexamined for more than sixty years: the incarceration of Chinese‑Indians during the Sino‑Indian War.<br />
823In 1962, as tensions escalated between China and India, the Indian government detained more than 3,000 Chinese‑Indians in a remote camp in Deoli, Rajasthan. The book documents this history through survivor testimonies, archival research, and political analysis. Joy, an alumna of the Writers Conference, was born in the Deoli camp.

877			<p>Jen Siraganian&#8217;s debut collection, <em>Everything Has Been Moved</em>,<em> Even the Dead</em> was awarded the 2026 Perugia Press Prize and is forthcoming in September 2026. Using a docupoetic lens, the poet traces a self shaped by history, fragmentation, and memory as she weaves her family’s past in the Middle East with her identity as an Armenian-American woman and mother. Whether portraying a grandparent’s survival during the Armenian Genocide, a father’s childhood in 1940s Palestine, or a son’s birth when “death is a neighbor,” Siraganian’s poems interrogate concepts of home, origins, belonging, and displacement.

1661			<p><em>Conveyances of the Poets</em> is a new hybrid work by Bubba Henson that pairs more than fifty poets — from Basho and Sappho to Sylvia Plath, Langston Hughes, and Billy Collins — with their real or imagined conveyances, using each vehicle as a lens through which to illuminate the poet&#8217;s life, temperament, and art. The book braids research with flights of creative speculation, personal memoir, and invention, so that W.C. Williams gets a wheelbarrow, T.S. Eliot a beige Nissan Sentra with cloth seats, Ezra Pound an unwrapped Cybertruck (&#8220;fascist vehicle of choice&#8221;), and Emily Dickinson a Schwinn bicycle she never could have owned but surely deserved.</p>

2003			<p>Erin L. McCoy&#8217;s debut novel, <em>Underlake</em>, is forthcoming from Doubleday in April 2026.</p>
2004<p><em>Underlake</em> is a richly glittering debut about the interlocked fates of two women, raised worlds apart, who must join forces on an extraordinary journey, diving leagues beneath the water’s surface—and straight into the fathomless heart of fear, forgiveness, and love. McCoy shrewdly explores the American obsession with inheritance, property, and race, asking how we stake our claim on the timeline of history—and who we erase in the process.

2436			<p>Joy Ma’s documentary <em>Voices of Deoli</em> is now streaming on Tubi. For Joy, who was the executive producer of the film, this deeply personal documentary brings to light the overlooked story of Indian families unjustly detained in a WWII-era internment camp in Rajasthan after the Sino-India War in 1962. By making the film freely accessible, she hopes it reaches wider audiences, sparks dialogue, and ensures that these voices—once silenced—are heard, remembered, and woven into the broader tapestry of history.

2797			<p>Jill Pearlman&#8217;s chapbook, <em>Diaspora of Things,</em> has just been published by Finishing Line Press. It is a Proustian tale, at once ordinary and nightmarish. In the dismantling of a family home, the speaker finds that dispossession has liberated things: they acquire a life of their own. It stirs up anarchic, chaotic energy. Nothing is excluded from the rites of possession and dispossession, including the poet&#8217;s identity. Just as she assesses, she is re-assessed; as she feels, she is felt. In the paradox of chaos, she finds multiple voices. Jill will be having a reading in Berkeley, CA, in early November (plans being solidified now). Please, please be in touch!

3374			<p>Cate Lycurgus&#8217;s chapbook <em>Seacliff</em> is forthcoming from Bull City Press in October 2025. Anchored by a vivid and resounding sequence, <em>Seacliff</em> enacts the relentless crash and dissolution of our bodies, landscapes, and spirits, even as they are recombined to return. Unlike other works, this seascape impels a meditation that is not merely metaphorical. In the face of very real forces, the uncertainty is not whether one must surrender, but when and how. This testament of perseverance invites us to submit to—and to celebrate—the vast vigor of our planet. Here, alongside the Northern California coast, <em>Seacliff</em> offers a path, one lyric runner of shine, out to a fresh horizon.

4085<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A feature documentary that shares the untold stories of survivors from the Deoli Internment Camp in India, this timely and deeply resonant film sheds light on a nearly forgotten chapter of history in which around 3,000 Indian Chinese were unjustly imprisoned after the 1962 Sino-India war. As immigration policies and narratives around national identity continue to evolve, both in the U.S. and globally, the film offers powerful insights into how the past still echoes today. What happened in the past can happen again, and often does.</p>

4715			<p><em>The Invisible Sun</em> by Attar was collected and translated by Sholeh Wolpé. (Harper Collins, 2025)</p>
4716<p>Twelfth-century Persian poet Attar (1145–1221) was revered by Rumi and though his work is beloved around the world, he is mostly unknown to English readers. Translated in simple, elegant language by poet Sholeh Wolpé—one among generations of poets influenced by Attar’s poetry—<em>The Invisible Sun</em> is a beautiful treasury of Attar’s most prescient poetry, offering comfort and inspiration.

6367			<p><em>Last Breath Home</em> is Laurie’s debut novel. Having dyslexia from an early age, she had difficulty reading. Following a trip to the book store and discovering Louis L’Amour, she grew to love reading one sentence at a time. Life was not easy for Laurie’s family when her brother returned from Vietnam following a psychotic break, eventually, schizophrenia. Through a series of tragic events, and with God’s help, she healed and grew to love her brother. Redemption flourished. Attending The Community of Writers Workshop gave her the courage to complete this novel.<br />
6368Her story is the motivation for <em>Last Breath Home</em>.</p>

8016C.S. Giscombe writes, &#8220;The first line of Roxi Power’s incredible burst of poems lays down the law with one hand and sets things in motion with another—that is, she writes, as if to remark on the coming noise made by fire, death, love…The many motions of this music, of these songs that objects would sing, will brush the reader with a difficult and worthy joy.”</p>

He discovers that the pandemic isolated us in ways that were not only physical, and that, at its core, a true sense of loneliness results from a disconnection to the self. He clarifies how meaningful reconnection can be nourished and sustained. More info <a href="https://jeremynobel.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a>.</p>

Putnam takes a social encounter and peels back its layers-through time, ancient longings, lingering dishonesties-until reaching unsettling but crucial insights. I love when a short book takes on the truly big issues of human experience, and Putnam&#8217;s does so triumphantly here.&#8221;</p>

10933			<p>Elizabeth Filippouli adapted and produced a play inspired by Alexander the Great that invites audiences to rethink the idea of greatness and re-imagine the personality of the statesman through the eyes of his tutor, the philosopher Aristotle. In this contemporary adaptation the old is intertwined with modern references, making Alexander’s life relevant to today’s context. The hybrid staged reading brought together a modern epic poem by Greek playwright Stamatis A. Filippoulis, art by leading British artist Paul Benney and music by Greek composer Stamatis Spanoudakis that lifted words and visual poetry. Over 500 theatre lovers attended in the British Library in London in February 2023.</p>

11023			<p>Her chapbook, <em>lithopaedion</em> will be released from Finishing Line Press in March 10, 2023. A Greek term translated, literally, to “stone baby”, a lithopaedion is a very rare phenomenon that occurs when, in a failed ectopic or abdominal pregnancy, the fetus cannot be reabsorbed by the mother’s body. Instead, it becomes calcified in order to prevent infection, sepsis, and even death in the mother. Nassif could think of no better metaphor for the sacrifices a parentified child often makes to protect the well-being of its parents, one of the motherhood related themes of this collection.</p>

11672			<p>Her novel <em>Confessions of a Knight Errant</em> was recently published by Cune Press. The novel is a comedic, picaresque novel in the tradition of Don Quixote with a flamboyant cast of characters. Dr. Gary Watson is the picaro, a radical environmentalist and wannabe novelist who has been accused of masterminding a computer hack that wiped out the files of a major publishing company. His Sancho Panza is Kharalombos, a fat, gluttonous Greek dancing teacher, who is wanted by the secret police for cavorting with the daughter of the Big Man of Egypt. Self-preservation necessitates a hurried journey to the refuge of a girls’ camp in rural Texas. Then a corpse turns up.</p>

Despite the popular notion that nature is a “vicious and never-ending battle of survival for meager resources,” Ohlson makes a solid case that the opposite is often true&#8230;This is as charming as it is enlightening.&#8221;</p>

12950			<p>Traveler&#8217;s Mind: UC Berkeley&#8217;s Greater Good Science Center has awarded authors Michael Shapiro and Ethan Watters a grant to study the concept of intellectual humility, the idea that not everything you think is right and not everything you believe is true. During the next 18 months, Shapiro and Watters, both longtime journalists, will be interviewing scientists and travelers to glean how (or if) travel makes us more open-minded. GGSC said there were 150 applicants; just 18 grants in various topics were awarded. Other winners include reporters from NPR and Scientific American &#8211; for the full list and more about the award, see link.</p>

13586a family saga told in a series of short poems. A hybrid of poetry, historical fiction and feminist literature, it tells the stories of two real women, Lydea Gilbert and Katherine (Kate) Harrison, who lived along the frontier of the Connecticut River in the mid 1600s. They were healers, midwives, farmers and ordinary women who faced the struggles and joys of life in a wild new land. They were women in a puritan culture, women of intuitive genius and healing powers, who lived through times where feminine power and the value of women’s lives was suspect and condemned.</p>

13786			<p>She has a new novel out, <em>Standing Up: Tales of Struggle</em>, written with her husband Larry Miller. Inspired by five decades of organizing, <em>Standing Up</em> is about those who clean bloody hospital sheets, forge parts for sewer pipes, arrange flights, or process checks — all while caring for kids, holding relationships together and wrestling with multiple forms of oppression. As the characters stand up, slow down, form unions, leave an abusive relationship or just stir up good trouble, they entertain and enlighten and encourage us to love deeply, as we continue the fight for justice. Best-selling author Jacquelyn Mitchard calls it &#8220;Shocking, terrifying, inspiring and deeply felt lives of the unsung.&#8221;</p>

16413			<p>An artifact of erasure at once poetry and visual art, <em>Her Read</em>, a graphic poem by Jennifer Sperry Steinorth will be published in full color and hardback by Texas Review Press in June, 2021. In the tradition of reusing canvases, with correction fluid, scalpel &amp; embroidery floss, Steinorth transforms a tome of art criticism, <em>The Meaning of Art by Herbert Read</em>, into feminist verse. Though the maternal body appears with frequency in Read’s illustrated text which spans from prehistory to the modern age, he includes zero female artists. <em>Her Read</em>, a graphic poem, is an excavation of buried voices&#8211; a reclamation of bodies framed in gilt &amp; an homage to those whose arts remain unsung.</p>
