  • av Kenneth Johnson
    149,-

    Kenneth Johnson's Molten Muse crackles with the electricity of nostalgia. In each poem you find yourself in places forgotten: seeing the ocean for the first time, under the gaze of your first crush, lounging in cool grass to look up at stars or clouds while identifying shapes, the pounding of your heart as your race through the sprinkler in your front yard, bathing suit plastered to skin. You find yourself wanting things: the smell of coffee in your childhood kitchen, the taste of your mom's pancakes, that very particular sense of time standing still. I'm warning you now, this is what will happen when you open Johnson's collection, you'll become feverish, begin desiring things you'd long forgotten.-Shilo Niziolek is the author of Fever and atrophy

  • av Eric Fisher Stone
    185,-

    Eric Fisher Stone's art encompasses the universe. Bullfrogs and bluebonnets, monks and mountains, guitars and galaxies-even parking lot grackles, Cro-Magnons, and Socrates. It's poetry as philosophy, philosophy as poetry, created by someone who has long dedicated his life to bringing you a Nature-imbued vision of a better world. Bear Lexicon is a Romanticism for today, a guidebook you can read to share in the sublime.- Douglas Lucas, writer/journalist

  • av Christopher Hopkins
    149,-

    The silver of spent time' - Hopkins writes in "Fractal Field," one of many haunting, and richly lyrical poems from The Rhyming Sky. The line epitomises where the beauty of this collections lies - in its dazzling depiction of moments witnessing the largesse of nature - moments in which the 'wide bone blue' of the sky transfixes, as does the peat-black wing of the geese, the flight of the 'cloud king' Gull, the bell stars which 'fall and shatter, like constellations of obsidian'. Such is the power of this poet's startling use of language, mastery of cadence and sound, that we are reminded of another Welsh poet, one who similarly cherished the sonic power of poetry, its ability to manifest nature upon the page in a vivid, tangible way. Dylan Thomas would, I am sure, be impressed by Hopkins' transcendent poems and their lush, and incantatory music. ~Anna Saunders, Poet & Founding Director Cheltenham Poetry Festival.

  • av Jennifer Maloney
    159,-

    Evidence of Fire takes us on an unflinching journey through the narrator's experiences as an addict using drugs, alcohol, and sex to cope with her depression and anxiety. She is uncompromising in her discussion of abuse, suicide, the bleak landscape of living and aging in poverty and illness in America, and the ameliorating effect of substances and behaviors that take her, if only for a moment, out of the darkness of that existence. She does not shy away from the consequences of that behavior, though-this book takes place in the space between self-awareness and denial and refuses to look away from either.

  • av Matt Duggan
    149,-

    "Matt Duggan is a rare breed in a poet. Productive and reflective, his work is both contemplative and accessible in the best possible sense, and gives us a glimpse into a world that is nourishing and refreshing. These poems firmly rooted in the tradition of traveller poets, offer the excitement of arrival, the enjoyment of being located and the estrangement of leaving. As Duggan notes in 'Slipping Away from the Radar' we often see the solitary shoreline, away from the mundaneness of modern life. In this startling new collection, Duggan takes us along on a journey through the spectrum of emotions that each we, as readers have come to expect in this poet's work." ~Andrew Taylor, Author of Radio Mast Horizon and March (Shearsman Books), Editor at erbacce-press, M-58 and erbacce, Senior lecturer in English and Creative Writing, Nottingham Trent University

  • av Judy McGinn
    279,-

    With an authentic style and three-dimensional characters that brings to mind Barbara Kingsolver and Jacqueline Mitchard, Judy McGinn's debut short story collection Rising Up on Ordinary Days ushers us into the intimate world of family dynamics and childhood. Complicated relationships between parents, children, siblings and schoolmates, at times touched by magic, at others ominous, enchant us. We climb a tree with a young girl in lace ankle socks. We swim with a tired mother whose son is soon to leave home. We smell, taste fresh biscuits, hear the thunder of wild ponies, and most of all we feel the love. With personalities as varied as that of an eccentric neighborhood hoarder to an older brother confined to a 1960s mental hospital this gem of a collection is filled with love -and the sometimes-transformative power of heart break- in all its many forms and keeps you turning the pages. McGinn's talent for helping us see the world from a child's intense point of view amazes and delights. This book is sure to leave you wanting more. ~Rachael Ikins, poet, author of Just Two Girls and The Woman with Three Elbows

  • av Carol Lynn Stevenson Grellas
    185,-

    A poet of the personal, Carol Lynn Stevenson Grellas' book In the Making of Goodbyes takes us to the land of the heart, a transformative journey where in looking at the difficult turns of events in a life, we are tutored in humility, grace, and tenderness...Her imagery and emotion uplift and fortify. There's a flow to these poems and once in the current, you submit willingly, her voice so intimate that it feels as if she is speaking to you and only you: "Even now as you visit me in dreams,/ I stroke the outline of an unseen being/ and hear the hymns of angels." To Grellas, relationship is everything-to nature, loved ones, the self. Her poems acknowledge our vulnerability as humans yet demand that we own up to the strength we have to embrace whatever life brings us. ~Wendy Patrice Williams, author of In Chaparral, Life on the Georgetown Divide, California

  • av Nicholas Skaldetvind
    185,-

    "Nicholas Skaldetvind weaves through his verse a voice that is immediately and delightfully contemporary at the same time threads allusions to the dead poets he admires, tucked into his poems as in an urban bird''s nest. Longing for Romantic heights, his speaker''s voice is both richly mellifluous and mundanely self-deprecating-less D.H. Lawrence and more Prufrock-balancing between poignancy and humor. Some images are fresh, liquid lucidity, while at other times Skaldetvind seems to recognize that the modern poet is inevitably a tourist among the great artifacts of the language. This is a vital and worthy volume." Paul Schreiber, Poetry Editor, Two Thirds North
