Currently Out of Print Cover Art by Tessa Tapscott / Cover Photo by Ed Dadey photo of “Exit Strategy” by Loren Erdrich ⬥ the next field over is a striking collection haunted by loss and pain that resides in the crevices where a place's spirit does, "at the nape / of the aster's neck" and in the speaker's own body. Rooted in a rural post-industrial landscape shaped by extractive industry and the swooping arcs of dusktime swallows, at moments basta summons the rustbelt's poetic forebears—but the glimpsed stories that underpin these poems are told in shimmering occlusion, much as an eclipse is illuminated by the sun's absence. the next field over sparkles in lyric time, "howl[s] back at the coyotes" in a stunning, inventive voice that is entirely basta's own. -Miriam Bird Greenberg, author of In the Volcano's Mouth Everything I ever hope for in a poem is right here! The mysteries of our world are even more mysterious in these nicole v basta poems, which is a true celebration of poetry, making room for the reader's imagination! As she writes, "and i know nobody is truth / until we decide on what whistle / to call out when we are lost" --- let's get lost together in this fantastic new book! -CAConrad, author of AMANDA PARADISE: Resurrect Extinct Vibration In the next field over, nicole v. basta writes, “i turn toward what is real / and ask myself if i care to know.” The poems in this stunning chapbook bridge the gap between memories of the mind and memories of the spirit. basta peels back the tangible world so that we may better understand how to heal the heart—a journey that is as brutal as it is hopeful: “i’d like to be a blank stone / among other blank stones.” - Eloisa Amezcua, author of Fighting Is Like a Wife https://www.nicolevbasta.com/home/books-5etdx monthly 0.5 2022-04-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6112f81a5be1890a27475793/21249a7b-e00e-4164-b6e0-2b47a45cf517/IMG_7152.JPG home - . https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6112f81a5be1890a27475793/1630337897851-8AAI2I6K6UVL9PXFC0GZ/IMG_3246.jpg home - . https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6112f81a5be1890a27475793/a0d5d11a-69f6-4f6a-8845-33c562927bc9/IMG_7155.JPG home - . https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6112f81a5be1890a27475793/9c032cc1-687e-4366-aa41-c10fecfb9b94/IMG_3240.jpg home - . https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6112f81a5be1890a27475793/1d74b8fb-d3b8-4684-ab90-e0fc7abc960f/IMG_7154.JPG home - . https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6112f81a5be1890a27475793/fb90c6f4-730f-4744-964f-4c0b219191b6/IMG_3244.jpg home - . https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6112f81a5be1890a27475793/9d3829ce-ea68-4d0c-a64d-c7cb927a75a1/IMG_7156.JPG home - . https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6112f81a5be1890a27475793/b7b89641-18dc-4b34-8fd2-63e007f4b10f/IMG_7151.JPG home - . https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6112f81a5be1890a27475793/c02c0b24-bf93-4fbc-9325-c57feb78efcd/IMG_7147.JPG home - .
