In celebration of National Poetry Month, three poets present their newest collections. Jim Moore's first career retrospective, Underground (Graywolf), shows a poet whittling down experience to its essential confrontation with one's own limitations. Lisa Fishman's 24 Pages and Other Poems (Wave) is centered on bodies and where they are in relation to each other. In Mouthful of Forevers (Andrews McMeel), Clementine von Radics writes of love, loss, and the uncertainties and beauties of life.

I Loved You More (Hawthorne Books), Tom Spanbauer's first novel in seven years, is a rich, expansive tale of love, sex, and heartbreak about the life of a striving, emotionally wounded writer. Spanbauer's novel is set against a world of struggling artists, the underground sex scene of New York in the 1980s, the drab, confining Idaho of its main character's youth, and many places in between.

Miss Daphne Dale isn't looking for love, but when she reads an advertisement looking for a "sensible lady," she can't resist.

Which one will capture her heart? Elizabeth Boyle's And the Miss Ran Away with the Rake (Avon) is a lively and clever romance filled with sensuality, passion, and wit.

The End of San Francisco (City Lights) breaks apart the conventions of memoir to reveal the passions and perils of a life that refuses to conform to the rules of straight or gay normalcy. A budding queer activist escapes to San Francisco, in search of a world more politically charged, sexually saturated, and ethically consistent — this is the person who evolves into Mattilda Bernstein Sycamore, infamous radical queer troublemaker, organizer, agitator, community builder, and anti-assimilationist commentator. Part memoir, part social history, and part elegy, The End of San Francisco explores and explodes the dream of a radical queer community and the mythical city that was supposed to nurture it.
