DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Elizabeth McLagan IN THE WHITE ROOM is a book haunted by memory, by enclosures that root the present to the past. "Elizabeth McLagan writes, 'I have walked/ from your dreams as through/ a door-there are so many/ doors-and I am still in trouble.' When I read this book, I entered a space so distinct and fully realized, full of beauty and pain, that when I put the book down, the voice of the poems continued to reveal her world around me."-Blas Falconer "Turn the pages of IN THE WHITE ROOM and you're met by beguiling surprises: quirky narratives, the heartfelt voice, jazzy soliloquy, lyric meditation, the landscape of dream. These poems feel pressured into being by what remains invisible, just out of sight, and reading them, we may feel how 'life/ struggles onward drinking freedom/ in sometimes bitter gulps.'" -Nance Van Winckel "These poems are very well travelled. They never seem to tire and are always ready to please by being thorough and unafraid of showing exactly where they've been. And, having been there herself, Elizabeth McLagan is a careful guide and active participant in each poem. She's careful to show you what you miss about familiar places you frequent and objects you'd possessed but which maybe you took for granted or never really knew you could take as a source for your own individual reality. You will delight in her ability to not only clarify all you see, as though for the very first time, but enhance it with a beautifully arranged and unrestrained language as well."-Paul Roth "IN THE WHITE ROOM a reader will find rich, evocative poems charged with trope-laden mystery. Elizabeth McLagan's shadowed, poignant lines create the space where a tree's leaves can '...come to resemble the green arrows/ of the heart, looking for a body to enter.' Employing inclusive, startling imagery, McLagan gathers both the quotidian and the oracular into her work until 'Every inch of air tattoos the familiar/ with the strange....'"-Paulann Petersen

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →In The Program Era, Mark McGurl offers a fundamental reinterpretation of postwar American fiction, asserting that it can be properly understood only in relation to the rise of mass higher education and the creative writing program. McGurl asks both how the patronage of the university has reorganized American literature and—even more important—how the increasing intimacy of writing and schooling can be brought to bear on a reading of this literature. McGurl argues that far from occasioning a decline in the quality or interest of American writing, the rise of the creative writing program has instead generated a complex and evolving constellation of aesthetic problems that have been explored with energy and at times brilliance by authors ranging from Flannery O’Connor to Vladimir Nabokov, Philip Roth, Raymond Carver, Joyce Carol Oates, and Toni Morrison. Through transformative readings of these and many other writers, The Program Era becomes a meditation on systematic creativity—an idea that until recently would have seemed a contradiction in terms, but which in our time has become central to cultural production both within and beyond the university. An engaging and stylishly written examination of an era we thought we knew, The Program Era will be at the center of debates about postwar literature and culture for years to come.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The astonishing, powerful debut by the winner of a 2016 Whiting Writers' Award WHEREAS her birth signaled the responsibility as mother to teach what it is to be Lakota therein the question: What did I know about being Lakota? Signaled panic, blood rush my embarrassment. What did I know of our language but pieces? Would I teach her to be pieces? Until a friend comforted, Don’t worry, you and your daughter will learn together. Today she stood sunlight on her shoulders lean and straight to share a song in Diné, her father’s language. To sing she motions simultaneously with her hands; I watch her be in multiple musics. —from “WHEREAS Statements” WHEREAS confronts the coercive language of the United States government in its responses, treaties, and apologies to Native American peoples and tribes, and reflects that language in its officiousness and duplicity back on its perpetrators. Through a virtuosic array of short lyrics, prose poems, longer narrative sequences, resolutions, and disclaimers, Layli Long Soldier has created a brilliantly innovative text to examine histories, landscapes, her own writing, and her predicament inside national affiliations. “I am,” she writes, “a citizen of the United States and an enrolled member of the Oglala Sioux Tribe, meaning I am a citizen of the Oglala Lakota Nation—and in this dual citizenship I must work, I must eat, I must art, I must mother, I must friend, I must listen, I must observe, constantly I must live.” This strident, plaintive book introduces a major new voice in contemporary literature.
