Dancing with the
One-Armed Man
Alison Pelegrin 1999
"Alison Pelegrin's debut chapbook is as much a celebration of place—New Orleans and environs—as the vivid voices of its people. Like a full-bodied wine, it offers subtlety, satisfaction, and a dizzying delight." —Enid Shomer
Longing Fervently for Revolution
Renny Christopher 1998
"Renny Christopher's poems allow working-class people to feel visible and respected in a genre that usually ignores or objectifies them."

The Nietzche Itinerary
Matt Buys 1996

Hubba Hubba
Katharine Harer 1995
"A mixing of memory and desire, sexuality and mortality that catches us unawares and touches us deeply. There's a magical tenderness, a sly wit, a bebop jauntiness to every poem in this marvelous book." —onthebus
The Insomniacs
David Chorlton 1994
"This is poetry wondrously intelligent and spectacularly descriptive, drenched with color." —Dusty Dog
Shock Treatment
Kurt Nimmo 1993
A testament to the decaying American dream. Seething with the hopelessness and bitterness of a marginal existence one paycheck away from poverty. Nimmo has been nominated for three Pushcart Prizes for his fiction.
I Would Steal Horses
Sherman Alexie 1992
Hope and survival amid the brutal despair and anonymity of contemporary Native American life. The very first poetry chapbook by Sherman Alexie, whom Adrian Lewis called "the brightest star in the younger constellation of American Indian poets."
The Color of Poison
Serena Fusek 1991
"Raw poetry concentrating on the dance of people dealing with people and the masks that they wear. Fusek is great at drawing out personal images of some of the more camouflaged people in the world." —Factsheet Five
The Trial of Mary McCormick
Robert Cooperman 1990
A powerful sequence of poems which chronicle the life of a young girl caught up in a passion play of lost faith, temptation, and betrayal.
The Fatboy with No Imagination
From Down the Block
Richard Amidon 1989

A Constituency of Dunces
Gerald Locklin 1988
Locklin's debut publication for Slipstream and Winner of our very first poetry chapbook competition. A witty and wry collection of poems from which Locklin drew heavily when performing live.
