Woody Guthrie, songwriter, poet and Oklahoma folk hero, was a champion of the disenfranchised, of minorities, of the working class, and an advocate for justice, using his music to speak out against injustice in all its forms. His love and understanding for the common man, for the blue-collar backbone of America, is a consistent theme throughout his canon. The Woody Guthrie Poets is a group dedicated to memorializing in poetry the history and culture of working people and perpetuating the ideals and goals of equality for the working class. They hope to raise world consciousness of the labor and political movements and to give commentary on the social and political environment in the 21st Century, as Woody Guthrie might see it. This is their 2023 anthology.

"Thought-provoking SF delivered in an intriguingly panoramic form."KIRKUS"[Doyle] touches upon the diversity of motivations people surrender to and the wonders and possibilities biomedical facilities could do. The story ends more eerie than it started, giving the whole a decidedly cinematic feel as it plumbs pressing questions about life and its value in the Anthropocene. Doyle has hit on something rare: an original approach to climate fiction."BOOKLIFE REVIEWS"...readers who enter Hibernaculum with the characters, who come to realize that its promises may be empty and hold consequences they never saw coming, will find the story gripping, revealing, and frightening.

Beneath it all lies a sinister truth that will leave you breathless and contemplating our own world long after you've finished the final, revealing chapter.

"Fear, Love & Longing" reveals a coming-of-age through the lens of relationships, heartbreak, and betrayal. The collection of poems and musings explores how we discover some of the most intimate pieces of ourselves through romantic relationships, forcing us to introspect, find our voices, and come back to ourselves after the brokenness. It examines recurring themes of the enmeshment and self-abandonment that often occur in romantic relationships. This piece highlights how these experiences are vehicles that catapult us into greater introspection, self-knowledge, and healing if we allow them. "Fear, Love & Longing" is a raw, honest, and sometimes snarky erotic lament that details this journey through stylized vignettes of private moments and relationships from the first ten years of the author's love life.

Death Egg is a collection of 60 poems about unemployment, love, jellyfish, despair, and apocalypses. Each poem is a bleak, dense rumination on contemporary American life, creating both powerful levity and despair with its exploration of the banal through dramatic, video game-like conceits, honing in on the uniquely modern insanity of knowing everything and nothing all at once. Cinematically tongue-in-cheek yet deeply earnest, unique yet relatable, this is the final egg: the death egg, fortress of loss and takeout receipts.

Holistic Health and Recovery is about an authentic relationship to self, integrating all our functionality. We tap into the mind and its emotions, along with its spirit, and the body, relating to social and economic topics. The author shares her foundations of growing up with a dysfunctional home life and how that wreaks havoc on her brain, body, and spirit. Her struggles were many and she did not understand how much they hindered her life. Like most in her situation, her attention and focus were nearly impossible through the trauma responses left in her body and mind, which would later dictate her life choices. She could not read a book that needed any attention, so her early years in school were insurmountable, and because of that, teachers viewed her as someone who just did not apply herself. Kathleen became a young bride and mother at 22. She always longed for a connection that seemed impossible to shake. Lost with a constant flow of negativity, confusion, and sadness, she lived in the shadow of life with feeling something was always wrong but had no idea what or how to change anything.Kathleen 's transformation has been a remarkable one in her determination to find a healing connection and self-worth. She has, with over 36 years in the process to date, and her lifeline is based on spiritual values she has learned and loved.

Her passion has been integrating the mind and spirit callings that were missed with old thinking habits of self-destruction and poor choices.Her passion has come through much healing and reflection and many collective generations of Wisdom who raised her in a spirit calling to turn on the lights will all the help and unconditional love they offered.
