The Night Season: Rooted in the tension between science and wonder, < em>The Night Season probes phenomena we are aware of but will never f ully grasp: the workings of the cosmos that we see only eons after their a ctual occurrence, deep time rendered through artifacts left by people befo re us, shifts and accretions that occur beneath the earth’s surface that w e sometimes feel but never truly witness. A crown of sonnets and several g hazals nestle among epistolary forms and free verse in this collection tha t gracefully intertwines research and prosody to explore the universe the way only a poet can.

Repa ir Attempts: The titular “repa ir attempts” describes the words and actions people use to heal broken con nections and de-escalate conflict. In his debut collection, Cameron Quan t ransforms this concept into a powerful lens for examining moral responsibi lity in contemporary America. Quan’s Repair Attempts navigates Asian Ameri can identity, American exceptionalism, patriarchal violence, grief, and th e nature of apologies.
