Excerpt from Weather and Season: New Poems The shape of last year's boughs, cankered or grown, And where that stump is, one that died in blossom; Forget the bill's curve under the aerial masts.

Inspired by traveling through northern India, The Kimnama is a blend of history, narrative, stunning imagery, and personal encounters. It's like the Indian combination of spices called a masala, of which there are myriad variations, weaving a complex and deeply satisfying whole. A multisectioned narrative of the speaker's travels through India...[with] lots of lyric repetition, beautiful images. Though the work has a balanced, meditative feel, there are glimmers of unexpected humor. -Sandra Beasley Unique and informative...Roberts provides the reader with clues of India's rich multifaceted culture...as well as its mystery and draw. From its temples to its smell of flowers, food and fires rising up in pujas... -Robert Giron, Gival Press

[Poems form] a tale of Jewish assimilation and its discontents: a sweeping exposition on Jewish American culture in all its bawdy, contradictory, inventive, glory. Exploring -- in his own family and in culture and politics at large -- how Jews have shed their minority status in the United States, poet Kevin Coval show us a people's transformation out of diaspora, landing on bothe sides of the color line--From back cover.

Everything Must Go is an illustrated collection of poems in the spirit of a graphic novel, a collaboration between poet Kevin Coval and illustrator Langston Allston. The book celebrates Chicago's Wicker Park in the late 1990's, Coval's home as a young artist, the ancestral neighborhood of his forebears, and a vibrant enclave populated by colorful characters. Allston's illustrations honor the neighborhood as it once was, before gentrification remade it. The book excavates and mourns that which has been lost in transition and serves as a template for understanding the process of displacement and reinvention currently reshaping American cities.

Coval's affinity for Chicago s crazy-quilt of ethnicities and races, the dreams of immigrants and seekers, infuse his poems with lamentation and exaltation as he celebrates uniqueness and commonality. Funny, sexy, and empathic, he riffs on the knot of family and the revelations kicked up by chance encounters, meditates on America's sorrows and beauty as he rides cross-country trains and a subway that rises from the shadows to the light on elevating tracks. Curious about everyone's story, Coval is an enemy of complacence and a believer in cross-pollination, and like the corner store he describes, his well-stocked poems contain beef jerky and sandalwood incense, that is, earth and spirit, body and soul.
