New Books by NER Authors

Winter 2022-2023

February 22, 2023

Looking to curl up and get cozy with a good book? You’re in luck! This winter, we’ve collected nine new books from NER contributors, including four novels, four poetry collections, and a short story collection. Don’t forget to shop these titles on our Bookshop.org page.

Pegasus Press recently published Henriette Lazaridis’s Terra Nova. Lazaridis’s other work has appeared in Elle, The New York Times, The Millions, and Pangyrus. She founded The Drum, a literary magazine, and is a graduate of Middlebury College. Her short story “Chess Lessons” appeared in NER 27.3.

This winter, we’re returning to Sara Eliza Johnson’s Vapor, published last year from Milkweed Books. This poetry collection explores the urgency of human emotion through a glacial landscape. Johnson, a National Poetry Series winner, is the author of Bone Map. Her poem “Migration” appeared in NER 40.2.

Out now from Elixir Press is Kirk Wilson’s short story collection Out of Season, the winner of the 2021 Elixir Press Fiction Award. Among other awards, Wilson has received two Pushcart nominations and an NEA fellowship. “Banquo’s Ghost,” a short story from the collection, was originally published in NER 41.3.

Hot off the press from Tin House Books is Gabrielle Bates’s arresting debut poetry collection, Judas Goat. Vulture‘s review of the collection describes Bates as “a wise, tender witness to the parts of ourselves we rarely expose.” Her poem “Anniversary” appeared in issue 38.2.

It’s the End of the World, My Love by Alla Gorbunova, translated from the Russian by Elina Alter, released on February 7th from Deep Vellum. Meduza called the novel “one of the main—if not the main—book of this year.” Gorbunova and Alter previously collaborated on “Biomass,” which appeared in NER 39.2.

Sarah Audsley’s debut poetry collection, Landlock X, dropped earlier this month from Texas A&M University Press. Audsley’s work has appeared in The Cortland Review, Four Way Review, The Massachusetts Review, Tupelo Quarterly, and Pleiades. Her poem “Field Dress Portal” appeared in NER 41.4. She speaks about the poem in the NER Digital piece “Writer’s Notebook – Field Dress Portal.”

Viking Books has just released Rebecca Makkai’s new novel, I Have Some Questions for You. Makkai is the author of Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award finalist The Great Believers. TIME, NPR, USA Today, Elle, and others named “I Have Some Questions for You” as a Most Anticipated Book of 2023. Makkai’s short story “The Briefcase” was published in NER 29.2.

Melinda Moustakis’s Homestead will be out on February 28th from Flatiron Books. Moustakis is a Flannery O’Connor Award and O. Henry Prize winner, and was a National Book Foundation 5 Under 35 Selection. Her work has been published in American Short Fiction, The Kenyon Review, and elsewhere. Homestead is her debut novel. Moustakis’s short story “What You Can Endure” was featured in NER 32.1.

Collected Poems, the definitive collection of Ellen Bryant Voigt‘s five-decade career, is out now from W. W. Norton. Voigt has been described as “a quintessential American elegist” by the Kenyon Review and “one of the most significant poets writing today” by the Los Angeles Review of Books. Her work has appeared in multiple volumes of NER, most recently in issue 39.3.

We are always excited to celebrate our NER authors. Here are our most recent reasons to applaud them:

The selection committee said of Johnson’s work: “There’s a sinuous, shape-shifting quality to this work that makes her poetic explorations of sex and selfhood all the more resonant.” Johnson’s poetry appeared in NER 34.3-4.

 

 

Anne Raeff was honored as a 2015 recipient of the Flannery Screen Shot 2015-10-06 at 11.23.42 AM

Her nonfiction work also appeared in NER 33.3 and NER Digital.

 

 

Screen Shot 2015-10-06 at 11.07.12 AMNER author Ellen Bryant Voigt has been awarded the distinct honor of a 2015 MacArthur Genius Grant.

Recent Poetry Collections by NER Authors

November 25, 2013

We are pleased to announce four new collections from poets previously featured in NER.

9780547928289Charles Simic’s new collection, New and Selected Poems 1962-2012 has been published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. Simic’s poetry was featured in NER 24.4 and his translations of Novica Tadic appeared in NER 29.1.

From Los Angeles Times: “It takes just one glimpse of Charles Simic’s work to establish that he is a master, ruler of his own eccentric kingdom of jittery syntax and signature insight.”

New and Selected Poems 1962-2012 is available from Powell’s Books and independent booksellers.

headwaters.inddHeadwaters, a new collection of poetry from Ellen Bryant Voigt, has been published by W.W. Norton & Company. Voigt’s poetry appeared in NER 25.3.

From Publishers Weekly: “Voigt’s…eighth collection of poetry is defined by a liquid precision.” 

From Library Journal: “A highly recommended book by an important poet.”

Headwaters is available from Norton and independent booksellers.

9780393239157_custom-b74df594bf7ff45a6d55ca31a0d9bb20f477975c-s6-c30A. Van Jordan’s new poetry collection, The Cineaste, has been published by W.W. Norton & Company. Van Jordan’s work appeared in NER 28.1 and 32.4.

From Publisher’s Weekly: “Drawn from his experience as a moviegoer, these poems prove anything but safe—each film is its own playground of dangers, of ‘strangers who mistake me for someone/ they owe.'”

The Cineaste is available from Powell’s Books and independent booksellers.

trace-webTrace, a new collection of poetry from Eric Pankey has recently been published by Milkweed Editions. Pankey has been featured in NER numerous times, most frequently in NER 34.1.

From Chase Twichell, author of Where the Answers Should Have Been: “In this age of both religious extremism and cynical atheism, Eric Pankey’s poems gleam with authenticity.”

Trace is available from Milkweed Editions and other booksellers.
