Voices of the CityVoices of the City is a collection of vibrant poems that take the pulse of the modern city in all its joy and despair, its yearning and celebration. Organized by the Institute on Ethnicity, Culture, and the Modern Experience at Rutgers University Newark, in conjunction with Hanging Loose Press, this anthology features work from some of the country’s best-known writers side by side with prize-winning poems by talented teenagers.
In the words of co-editor Rosamond S. King: “Think of each of these poems as a window onto an urban landscape. From some, you will see a panoramic view of city life, from others a distilled moment. Together, these poem-windows present dozens of perspectives on urban environments.”

Hardcover: ISBN 978-1-931236-34-8, $24., Swan of Tuonela
"In his third book of fiction, Wyatt, a musician turned writer, seems to be answering the question, what happened to the hippies? Or, what happened to the artisans who remained artists when hippie values got switched off? Wyatt’s protagonist James, also a musician turned writer, is revealed in a subtle layering of stylistic prose as Wyatt recalls post-hippie Philadelphia and conjures up complex characters, interweaving storylines, and dreamlike remembrances that would make surrealists and psychedelics alike smile with glee. James’s sexual and artistic adventures are rooted in the universal question, what does it means to be human, and in dissecting and celebrating the artist’s lifestyle. A delicately fashioned collection of short stories about the same key character, ala Raymond Carver, Stuart Dybek, or Billy Lombardo, Wyatt’s Swan of Tuonela is artful, insightful, and wonderfully atmospheric. ––Mark Eleveld, "Booklist"

Where X Marks the Spot
“In poems whose language is as clear and straightforward as that of Williams or Reznikoff, Bill Zavatsky turns the floodlight of honesty onto himself, transforming, by the very act of examination, his demons of anger, self-pity, loneliness, and regret. This is brave and mature work, capacious enough for both elegy and humor.”—Ron Padgett
