Evidences is the winner of the sixth annual American Poetry Review/Honickman First Book Prize, as chosen by poet Jorie Graham. In poems that are by turns lyrical, disjunctive, autobiographical, and political, the poems in Evidences sift through residues of landscape and history. The physicality of the language and the invocation of the world of places and things form a meditative process, essaying the conditions of perception and memory. 23.00 (HB) 14.00 (PBk) Available through Copper Canyon: https://www.coppercanyonpress.org/

These poems tense between lush description and the violences within those landscapes. Donald Revell notes “A poet is made of idioms and of their intimate, eventually public transgressions. This, then, is the true subtlety of James McCorkle’s beautiful collection.” Carol-Ann Davis writes, “What a gift James McCorkle has given us by writing this book!” 16.00 (PBk) Available at Etruscan Press: https://etruscanpress.org/

In Time is one of three full-length collections in Triptych, which also includes Peter Grandbois’ The Three-Legged World and Robert Miltner’s Orpheus & Echo. David Baker notes that “this rich new book, Triptych, something singular, it is to show a small part of the singular diversity and range of contemporary American poetry” including “James McCorkle’s chewy, sustained meditations on time.” 18.00 (PBk) Available through Etruscan Press: https://etruscanpress.org/
