A GOOD WORKS PROJECT: All proceeds benefit the Malala Fund.On the one-year anniversary of 15-year-old Malala Yousafzai's shooting by the Taliban for speaking out for the right of girls to an education, FutureCycle Press published a poetry collection in her honor. Edited by poets Joseph Hutchison and Andrea L. Watson, men and women all over the world contributed work to this anthology as part of a global outpouring of support for Malala. FutureCycle Press donates all proceeds from sale of the paperback and Kindle editions to the Malala Fund. To help raise awareness of her cause, a PDF version is also available on the press website for free download and sharing.
Laurel S. Peterson's Daughter of Sky embraces the languages of flying and space exploration as metaphors to examine familial relationships and the questions of death and loss. Beginning with a father's death, the book then moves through the many mythologies we use to explain our brief tenure on Earth. Encompassing both the particular and the universal, this collection challenges us to look beyond-and face whatever is there.
In My Breath Floats Away from Me, Eric Lochridge takes an enigmatic approach to the workings of the world, keeping a circumspect distance in poems that gravitate toward the personal. The resulting tension reverberates with insights that challenge the unresponsive systems and institutions that hold us down. Whether side-eyeing religion, career, or reckless destruction of the environment, Lochridge shows sharp comedic chops that accentuate a wacky, earnest spirit. His portrayals of fathers, husbands, and workers revel in a deadpan absurdism that commingles the real and the surreal. Throughout, the poems remain vigilant, poised to discern when to accept, when to surrender, and when to fight in a falling, failing world.
