Quan Barry—a poet and novelist whose previous works include Loose Strife and We Ride Upon Sticks—now publishes When I’m Gone, Look for Me in the East, her third novel. “It is excellent and immersive, a full-throated plunge into a very specific, fascinating world,” wrote Lit Hub. “Technically about twin brothers on a quest to find the reincarnation of a famous lama in Mongolia, it is really much more about Buddhism, love, and the metaphysics of being.”
Ocean Vuong—a poet and novelist whose previous works include Night Sky with Exit Wounds and On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous—now publishes Time is a Mother, his second book of poems. “It is a haunting, inconsolable, and at the same time playful, generous in spirit, tender, and inimitable book,” wrote Ilya Kaminsky. “The poet’s late mother is these pages’ muse and guardian spirit, as in poem after poem Vuong redefines our idea of what an elegy can do and what it is for.”
