Ghadery’s debut, Fuse, is a collection of personal essays so intimate and engrossing that at times I had the strange sensation that my consciousness had melted and was being subsumed into the author’s. As if the secrets she was telling were mine laid bare on the page instead of hers. This, of course, is an illusion, a deft trick by a skilled writer who transports you so completely and with such immediacy that her vulnerability on the page becomes a self-consciousness you feel viscerally, beneath your ribs.

Spencer Morrison writes about Götterdämmerung in the November issue of LRC:

What might it mean to dance? Gasparini plays coy and invites us to reimagine our relations with a despoiled nature that’s seemingly beyond repair. In this way, “Götterdämmerung” joins a recent body of environmental poetry — see work by Juliana Spahr and Jorie Graham, among others — that recognizes the irremediably damaged state of our environment and eschews grand visions of an unblemished nature beyond civilization’s reach. It tests the powers of a nature poetry that has abandoned hope for ecological restoration.

Jerry Levy's review of The Ocean in the Well by Nino Fama, translated by Damiano Pietropaolo, in the .

Sorrow, grief, and regret populate the novel but it is hardly a dour read. For resilience holds equal weight and offers hope for the future, including a very unexpected ending for Stefano. So too does the power of genuine friendship, which permeates throughout the story. As the great painter Matisse once said: “There are always flowers for those who want to see them.” To wit, when the world appears most barren and ugly, our thoughts can help us see life through a different filter, allowing for visions of beauty, allowing us to see those flowers. And for Stefano, as he grows, he begins to see through that filter.
