Armored Elevator by Ryan Daley
Ryan Daley is a dedicated dodgem of syntax. He is a multi kulti Mayan in
Newark whose wit's as Pan-American as any Jose O'Shay's. He knows dystopias
no longer wash unless in global neo-glot soup spracht. Armored Elevator is
one of the best-certainly the edgiest-first books I've read in quite awhile.

homemade traps for new world Brians by Evan Willner
Evan Willner reinvisions fifty states as fifty poems that each have the
flinty, hard logic and formal density of stone slabs-stele or gravestones-or
of teeth. And yet, the language within these poems is palpable and
mysterious and alive, the connection between words and things skew in all
sorts of right ways that end up making everything seem to be wriggling and
formicating on the same level of consciousness: next time you look at
nature, don't be surprised if it gives you a come-hither look back. A must
read for all Brians.

Morphology by Ruth Lepson and Walter Crump
In Lepson and Crump's collaborative improvisations, language becomes a
playful substance in which we find ourselves furtively embodied, "camped out
near a shoulder" or "standing in the middle of a paragraph." Acts of
renaming and comparing create a flux of metamorphoses both ominously curious
and sweetly surprised. These exuberant, synesthetic leaps between the visual
and the verbal bypass unlikeness, pursuing instead a kind of social dreaming
in which everyone is included.
