New Poems: A Reading

In Caki Wilkinson’s new collection, The Wynona Stone Poems, we meet a woman who’s on track to lose her job, doesn’t love the weatherman she’s sleeping with, and everything she tries (cosmetology, astrology) falls short. Passionate, committed, and deeply humane, Indran Amirthanayagam‘s poems in Uncivil War bear witness with unflinching honesty to the horrific violence of the Sri Lankan civil war. Reginald Dwayne Betts’s collection, Bastards of the Reagan Era, is a challenge, confronting realities that frame an America often made invisible. The Net in Sight / La Red Ante Los Ojos is a new bilingual (Spanish/English) collection of poetry from Nicaraguan poet, Francisco Larios.
