Books published by Omnidawn Publishing

Using Shakespeare's sonnets, this book shows how the involuntary expression of language is suffused with cultural intent, how much the rhythms of the past permeate the present - and how many lost friends, lovers, and opportunities can be heard in the music of the current moment.

This anthology focuses on New Wave Fabulist writers.

Our Animal hybridizes novel flaking into poetic forms like a gnat swarm, magnetic filings, or migratory flux. It's a fierce inquiry into Othering, tracking Kafka's life through his identification with animals, especially those hunted or outcast. We are entangled in biography as biology-paradisiacal transfiguration that leaves out no being.

In Zach Savich's new collection, intent seeing makes the present more present. The mysteries of grief and joy, of daily desire and loss, resonate fleetingly, a bell struck delicately, struck again. In these poems, language is a sense like any other and yet is everything that may be glimpsed and heard and briefly known.

A meditation on the body amidst a crisis of environment, "Middle Time" imagines the limits (or non-limits) of bodies at a time when our attachments and our ecologies are increasingly administered, exploited, and degraded.
