The Forests of Autumn
Ken Fontenot's The Forests of Autumn celebrates a life lived in poetry. Exploring his Cajun heritage, his struggles with existential angst, as well as his love of classical music, philosophy, the German language, and other writers, Fontenot's poems are "not so much a creation as a discovery." A true original who likes "to be me often rather than sometimes," Fontenot "empoem(s)" us with tenderness, wit, and the mystery of the everyday. -Grace Bauer, author of Unholy Heart: New & Selected Poems
all shades of blue.
You are about to embark on a journey. Through love, through loss, through obsession - and back to yourself. It starts in Sky Blue. In softness. In springtime skies and tender promises. But soon the colours change. Cornflower Blue. Midnight Blue. You fall. You ache. You shatter. Then comes the storm. A new kind of blue. Teal. Indigo. Payne's Grey. He is desire, chaos, addiction. You drown in him, and he never even notices. But you survive. You rise. And the world slowly starts to glow again. Aquamarine. Cerulean. Light Sky Blue. You realise: your light was never lost - just hidden beneath the pain.

Shedding Season
A kitchen hums with flies. Grackles fill the branches of a tree. A bruise blooms over skin. In Shedding Season, nature threatens to overwhelm those who would keep it in check. Instead, Morton explores what it means to refuse the language of dominance, to recognize oneself as a small part of an impossibly complex ecosystem. From this vantage, insect legs form a chorus and violence is worked like a bow against an instrument, attempting beauty. In turn, a house becomes a trap, a family a threat, and the notion of salvation something you can drown in. In these poems, a broken narrative follows cycles of violence and ecological degradation across generations, illuminating the ways in which our relationships--with others, our environments, and ourselves--define us even as we define them. With language, image, and narrative always in flux, these poems inhabit the grey areas between desire and disgust, safety and survival. In constant search of breaking points, Morton interrogates the impermanence of identity: how many times can something evolve before it becomes something else?

Obituary
"In many ways, this book is a goodbye letter. A goodbye to my older sister. A goodbye to my childhood. A goodbye to an innocence I'll never know again. In other ways, it's an acceptance letter. I'm accepting my grief. I'm accepting adulthood. I'm accepting that love and hope are everywhere: in my family, my past, my present, my future, and myself. I have poured my heart into each poem in this book. I started this collection when I was 18, and at 21 I'm letting it go. I hope readers will find comfort in themselves and their grief, and I hope my words help just a little bit with that." Jamie L. Reeves, Author
Yellow Flower Gills Me Whole
An exciting new edition/entry to Milkweed's Multiverse series--a visionary collection of poetry advocating for the excited, the rebellious, and the neuroqueer. In this momentous debut, Sid Ghosh invites the reader "to be so free that it scares you." Leveraging gem-like koans, technicolor wordplay, and earth-shaking wit, he creates startling new worlds in only a handful of words. As a nonspeaking autistic writer with Down syndrome who must navigate immense sensorimotor complexity, his short poems are both muscular and agile, displaying a dexterity replete with vertiginous grace: "Spinning I harness / poetry of the Earth. // The Sufi dances / in me to dare me // to scare your loud / soul to ensnare // my fearful mind to / bare some misery / to bear some truth."Ghosh writes beyond his years and from a perspective steeped in queer and fractaled sensibilities. As one who is "simply privy to a new road," he renders neurodiverse thought patterns as truly divine. The poems that result bristle with wisdom, divergence, and the "generosity of deep rivers." Unprecedented in its genius and composition, this collection of poems is sure to leave readers wide-eyed and breathless.
