Poetry. In IOWA, Travis Nichols turns the bleak cultural void of Midwestern adolescence into a sequence of stunning prose vignettes. Here, a coming-of-age consciousness articulates the knotty uncertainties of personal, social and familial anxieties in sentences as equally complex as the feelings they house: The memories true or not against him seem to be turning to steam, as I turned, all the while thinking of chewing out alone through the ghostly meats. With youthful perplexity and zeal, a humorous and caustic violence of reflection drives this meditative, unclassifiable book. The scary truth is that the foreignness of private teenage cant was always asking the right questions. Now, we just have to listen: Is this the right one thing you haunt? Looking at this one house year after year? Yes. It must be. Not to let you move on. That was the way out.

Just what kind of monkey business has befallen Mr. Hound's shop? Luckily, our team of plucky detectives has been chomping at the bit to take on their first case. When Mr. Hound hires them to investigate, they hoof it to his shop. And once they get sleuthing, wild horses couldn't drag them away from the scent of a clue. But is it all just a dog and pony show to distract them from the truth? Idioms are everywhere in this hilarious first case of the Gumshoe Zoo detective agency. This introduction to graphic novels will delight early readers with a zany wordplay whodunnit as the detectives manage to keep a straight face, collar some suspects, and solve a mystery, all while avoiding beating a dead-never mind.

This maze book is a thrilling hands-on fantasy adventure. In this unique hybrid of text- and maze-based storytelling, readers are immersed in a quest. They must capture the missing pieces of a famous sword by solving mazes, collecting gems, keys, and more—while also dodging mysterious monks, escaping hoards of giant bees and foul creatures, and exploring epic landscapes. Irresistibly analog, Maze Quest provides hours of screen-free fun.

Travis Nichols is a young poet and novelist who invites readers into a world of relationships gone strange. In his poems, everyday human behaviors become fraught with extraordinary significance. It's a delicate balance of orchestration and improvisation--both dizzying and oddly comforting. The poems, thick with vibrant language and semantic play, hint at a Rimbaudian derangement of the senses while being hyper-alert and completely alive.All my life I've felt destinednot for the greatness of my heroesbut the goodness of their followers.I knew, even when I found a pieceof tooth in my Sausage McMuffin, I would surmount the povertyand dullness of my youth.I knew neither my poverty nor my youthwould be significant enoughto attract attention, only simple enoughto graft onto the great biographies.Even when I felt uncommon and angry enoughto steal balloons from the drug storeand spit red paintballs through a peashooterat people making out in the park I knewI was no Billy the Kid . . .Travis Nichols is an editor at the Poetry Foundation. He is the author of Iowa, a collection of poems, and Off We Go Into the Wild Blue Yonder (Coffee House Press), a novel. He edits the online magazine Weird Deer and regularly contributes to The Believer, Paste, and The Stranger. He lives in Chicago.

Praise for Travis Nichols: "A rewarding experience. [Nichols'] sentences repeat and sit inside each other as a sort of Greek chorus that resonates throughout the book."--Chicago Sun-Times "Nichols pulls the readers in ...with breathtaking immediacy...Off We Go into the Wild Blue Yonder is both original and haunting."--Star Tribune (Minneapolis) Charli and Nico's wedding blog has an uninvited guest: a commenter convinced the bride is being romanced by the brother of the groom. To save her from a terrible mistake he adopts multiple identities on multiple message boards, sharing his fears for Charli, his outrage at being thwarted, and the romance, years ago in his analog past, that first attracted his meddlesome care. Cranky, hilarious, and incisive, The More You Ignore Me takes on Internet etiquette, the distortions of voyeurism, and the incessant, expansive flow of words that may not be able to staunch loneliness, but holds out the hope of talking it to death. Travis Nichols was born in Ames, Iowa. He attended the University of Georgia and the University of Massachusetts, where he earned an MFA in poetry. He is the author of the novel Off We Go into the Wild Blue Yonder (Coffee House Press) and two collections of poetry, Iowa (Letter Machine Editions) and See Me Improving (Copper Canyon Press). From 2008 to 2012 he was associate editor of the Poetry Foundation's website and editor of its blog, Harriet. He now works at Greenpeace in Washington, DC.
