Winner of the Anisfield-Wolf Book Award for Poetry Winner of the Nicolás Guillén Outstanding Book Award Finalist for the Griffin International Poetry Prize Long-listed for the National Book Award Long-listed for the PEN Open Book Award One of The Washington Posts Best Poetry Collections of 2015 One of NPRs Best Books of 2015 One of Flavorwires Best Poetry Books of 2015 "Who the hell's heaven is this?" Rowan Ricardo Phillips offers many answers, and none at all, in Heaven , the piercing and revelatory encore to his award-winning debut, The Ground . Swerving elegantly from humor to heartbreak, from Colorado to Florida, from Dante's Paradise to Homer's Iliad , from knowledge to ignorance to awe, Phillips turns his gaze upward and outward, probing and upending notions of the beyond. "Feeling, real feeling / with all its faulty / Architecture, is / Beyond a god's touch"but it does not elude Phillips. Meditating on feverish boyhood, on two paintings by Chuck Close, on Shakespeare's Measure for Measure , on a dead rooster by the side of the road in Ohio, on an elk grazing outside his window, his language remains eternally intoxicating, full of play, pathos, and surprise. "The end," he writes, "like / All I've ever told you, is uncertain." Or, elsewhere: "The only way then to know a truth / Is to squint in its direction and poke." Phillipswho received a 2013 Whiting Writers' Award as well as the PEN/Joyce Osterweil Awardmay not be certain, but as he squints and pokes in the direction of truth, his power of perception and elegance of expression create a place where beauty and truth come together and drift apart like a planet orbiting its star. The result is a book whose lush and wounding beauty will leave its mark on readers long after they've turned the last page.

Children of Time

Adrian Tchaikovsky

Who will inherit this new earth? The last remnants of the human race left a dying Earth, desperate to find a new home among the stars. Following in the footsteps of their ancestors they discover the greatest treasure of the past age—a world terraformed and prepared for human life. But all is not right in this new Eden. In the long years since the planet was abandoned, the work of its architects has born disastrous fruit. The planet is not waiting for them, pristine and unoccupied. New masters have turned it from a refuge into mankind's worst nightmare. Now two civilizations are on a collision course, both testing the boundaries of what they will do to survive. As the fate of humanity hangs in the balance, who are the true heirs of this new Earth?
