Poetry. If there were an award for chapbook of the year it would
surely be given to BY MYSELF: AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY. In the spirit of
Goethe's comment, "One is never satisfied with the portrait of a
person one knows," two celebrated poets, D.A. Powell and David
Trinidad, have collaborated to create a perfect portrait of an
unknown star in 300 lines by taking one sentence from each of 300
celebrity autobiographies. The result is poignant, poetic, and
hilarious--a perfect and imperishable performance.

“As a Filipino-American conscious of his multiple identities and
the trove of experiences and external forces that shaped him, Gray
uses the unfettered landscape of poetry to release himself and
others from the limitations that aggrieve undocumented
immigrants.” —New City Lit Rooted in the experience of living
in America as a queer undocumented Filipino, Documents maps the
byzantine journey toward citizenship through legal records and
fragmented recollections. In poems that repurpose the forms and
procedures central to an immigrant’s experiences—birth
certificates, identification cards, letters, and
interviews—Jan-Henry Gray reveals the narrative limits of legal
documentation while simultaneously embracing the intersections of
identity, desire, heritage, love, and a new imagining of freedom.
Entering its sixth year, "Best New Poets" has established itself
as a crucial venue for rising poets and a valuable resource for
poetry lovers. The only publication of its kind, this annual
anthology is made up exclusively of work by writers who have not
yet published a full-length book. The poems included in this
eclectic sampling represent the best from the many that have been
nominated by the country's top literary magazines and writing
programs, as well as some two thousand additional poems submitted
through an open online competition. The work of the fifty writers
represented here provides the best perspective available on the
continuing vitality of poetry as it's being practiced today.

and don'ts of writing about sex. With how-tos, close readings, and
personal anecdotes, "The Writer's Notebook" offers aspiring
wordsmiths advice and inspiration to hone their own craft. Included
