Now Wilson has returned with an equally revelatory translation of Homer’s other great epic―the most revered war poem of all time.The Iliad roars with the clamor of arms, the bellowing boasts of victors, the fury and grief of loss, and the anguished cries of dying men. It sings, too, of the sublime magnitude of the world―the fierce beauty of nature and the gods’ grand schemes beyond the ken of mortals. In Wilson’s hands, this thrilling, magical, and often horrifying tale now gallops at a pace befitting its legendary battle scenes, in crisp but resonant language that evokes the poem’s deep pathos and reveals palpably real, even “complicated,” characters―both human and divine.The culmination of a decade of intense engagement with antiquity’s most surpassingly beautiful and emotionally complex poetry, Wilson’s Iliad now gives us a complete Homer for our generation. 5 maps Read more

Literary Titan 2025 Gold Book Award for Contemporary PoetryBookFest 2025 First Place Award for Poetry Collections & AnthologiesCanadian 2024 High Spirits Poetry Contest First Place Winner“An absolute must-read for Emily Dickinson fans and all other poetry lovers.” – Hannah Lindley, Reedsy Discovery“An approach to Death that will bring comfort on every page.” – James A. Tweedie, Poetry Judge, The Society of Classical Poets “Rather an odd quirk of Death, whom few would call a friend, That it persists as near as breath in loyalty without end.”What if Death wasn’t an ending, but a companion? Inspired by Emily Dickinson’s poem Because I could not stop for Death, Jackson reimagines Death as a soft-spoken guide, a quiet friend, and even a muse.In this mesmerizing collection, Death steps forward—not as something to fear, but as a presence offering grace, wisdom, and a strange kind of solace. Through rhythmic, lyrical verse, Jackson explores life’s impermanence, weaving together themes of faith, doubt, and the beauty of the unknown.Echoing Dickinson while speaking to the modern soul, this collection challenges the way we see Death—not as a shadow, but as an invitation to something deeper.

His writing draws on his experience at sea as a common sailor, exploration of literature and philosophy, and engagement in the contradictions of American society in a period of rapid change.

"This book is an overwhelming feast, a treasure, and more than enough proof that Sze is a major poet." —NPRNational Book Award winner Arthur Sze is a master poet, and The Glass Constellation is a triumph spanning five decades, including ten poetry collections and twenty-six new poems. Sze began his career writing compressed, lyrical poems influenced by classical Chinese poetry; he later made a leap into powerful polysemous sequences, honing a distinct stylistic signature that harnesses luminous particulars, and is sharply focused, emotionally resonant, and structurally complex. Fusing elements of Chinese, Japanese, Native American, and various Western experimental traditions—employing startling juxtapositions that are always on target, deeply informed by concern for our endangered planet and troubled species—Arthur Sze presents experience in all its multiplicities, in singular book after book. This collection is an invitation to immerse in a visionary body of work, mapping the evolution of one of our finest American poets. Read more
