A Night in Brooklyn: Poems
by D. NurkseD. Nurkse's deeply satisfying new collection is a haunted love letter to the far corners of his hometown, Brooklyn, New York, and a meditation on the selves that were left behind in those indelible places. Here Nurkse brings alive the particular details that shape a life, in this case unique to the world of Brooklyn--a job at the Arnold Grill, "topping off drafts with a paddle" for the truckers who came in; the deaf white alley cat that mysteriously survived the winter on a stoop in Bensonhurst; the narrow bed where young love took place; the wild gardens behind the tenements. His exploration of this almost mythic city past is combined with a sense of the future speeding toward us--the ongoing riddle of time and being in a larger universe. . . . And she who was driving said, We know the coming disaster intimately but the present is unknowable. Which disaster, I wondered, sexual or geological? But I was shy: her beauty was like a language she didn't speak and had never heard. From "The Present" Hardcover edition.
A Night in Cold Harbor
by Margaret KennedyFrom the book jacket: A Night in Cold Harbor is a fascinating historical novel, strongly plotted and peopled with characters who would be superbly romantic if they were not so realistic and believable. Set in early nineteenth century England, it is the story of a young aristocrat who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and eventually gags on it. Before his maturity is achieved, however, he has devastated more than one life, including that of his illegitimate son. Romilly Brandon's belated search for this boy provides the framework for a tale of conflicting passions, cross-purposes, and tangled relationships. A central thread in the narrative is the issue of child labor, which, together with other contemporary evils suffered by the working class, resulted in rebellious, nomadic hordes of "Walking People," ragged, gypsy-like outcasts with a highly developed spy system and a rigid social code of their own. To young Dickie Cottar, who has taken to the roads and the rough fellowship of the Walking People, his natural father is a natural enemy. The bridging of this chasm between father and son is the heart of the story.

A Night of Serious Drinking: A Novel (Tusk Ivories)
by René DaumalThe French poet and author of Mount Analogue shares a satirical allegory of the absurdities of intellectual society.As in Rene Daumal’s cult classic Mount Analogue, A Night of Serious Drinking concerns an autobiographical protagonist on a mind-expanding journey. But rather than seeking enlightenment, the anonymous narrator recounts an evening getting drunk with a group of friends. As the party becomes intoxicated and exuberant, the narrator’s wandering lead him from seeming paradises to the depths of pure hell. The characters our hero encounters go by absurd titles, such as Anthographers, Fabricators of useless objects, Scienters, Nibblists, and Clarificators. Yet the inhabitants of these strange realms are only too familiar: scientists dissecting an animal in their laboratory, a wise man surrounded by his devotees, politicians angling for influence, and poets expounding their rhetoric. Their hilarious antics and intellectual games reveal incisive social commentary that combines poetic imagination and philosophical depth.
