Winner of the 2004 FIELD Poetry Prize, this most recent collection of poet Beckian Fritz Goldberg is a wry, elegant series of meditations on mortality and the body. Her poems are "breathtakingly beautiful and resolute in their conviction that words matter, especially in the fact of randomness and moral collapse." (Bruce Weigl)

Gallagher's second book of poems, Stubborn, follows quickly after publication of her first book, This Minute (Fordham), which received the Poets Out Loud Prize. Stubborn won the ninth annual FIELD Poetry Prize. "Readers will not want to put down this book once they have started to encounter it. It shines with power and crackles with excitement." (David Young)

A physical therapist, Kelly writes poems that are a truly original examination of what it means to occupy the body and inhabit the world.

Winner of the 2009 FIELD Poetry Prize, The Sleep Hotel is Amy Newlove Schroeder's first collection. This book is packed with surprising and courageous poems that are, by turns, dreamlike, sinister, visionary, and erotically charged. Her work maps the psychic life of contemporary America with unerring precision.

Timothy O'Keefe was awarded the 2010 FIELD Poetry Prize for THE GOODBYE TOWN, described by Editor David Walker as "a complex and multilayered collection, deeply intelligent and humane, beautifully balanced in its sly wit and elegant lyricism.... He has a fresh and distinctive voice." This is O'Keefe's first book.

Winner of the 2013 FIELD Poetry Prize, Bern Mulvey's Deep Snow Country is centered in the subject of Japan and the earthquake, tsunami, and reactor meltdown of 2011, but its voice is never that of the tourist or the travel guide. As an American poet who lives and works in Japan, Mulvey is positioned to respond not only to current events, but to all the rich history of interactions and meanings involving two very different cultures and languages. Such exploration requires unusual expertise and tact. In poems that draw on a sensibility and imagination of great scope, in language as intimate as it is precise, Mulvey guides us repeatedly to discoveries that are dazzling and unforgettable.

Carol Potter's four previous books have earned many admirers and multiple awards. But the scope and depth of Some Slow Bees, winner of the 2014 FIELD Poetry Prize, will be a revelation even to her most devoted fans.Potter's new collection is a book about trouble, about loss: relationships, farms, parents, places. But there's also humor, a wry look at the way we invite or stumble into trouble and how we embrace the adventure. From children at their desks watching the flood leak into the schoolroom, to the narrator and her lover paddling down a river in the dark, the book charts a journey from loss to repair. It ends with a sonnet sequence,"The Miss Nancy Papers," that leads us from the psychological terrain of the 1950s into the present, where "if anyone knew what war we were coming home from / we would come home from it." This is a book about how to get lost, and how to get home.

Robin Behn called Mark Neely's first collection "nothing less than a mandala of the human spirit." Now, in Dirty Bomb, his formidable talents take on a wider and more public dimension. This book of poems explores life in 21st-century America, particularly the juxtaposition of intimate human relationships with the politics and violence of U.S. militarism, terrorism, and the threat of environmental apocalypse. Oil tankers leak, atrocities play out across the internet,"the present / always drags the past into the future." Yet Neely's piercing intelligence and dry wit keep the poems light on their feet and unexpected in their perceptions. Angry, baffled, moon-drunk, and visionary, these poems chart the promise and the danger of America in fresh and memorable ways.

This posthumous volume brings together the poems of Tom Andrews, whose untimely death in 2001 cut off a career marked by early achievement and remarkable innovation. It comprises two previously published books, The Brother's Country and The Hemophiliac's Motorcycle, and two unpublished manuscript, closing with two late uncollected poems.
