A man there claims to have killed his wife when she morphed into a sizeable octopoid creature and attacked him.

In her thought-provoking, intimate collection, her form of healing, poet Micaela Snow is urged (in solitude) to introspect about life and her unbalanced place in it. To reach equilibrium again, she must address all parts that form her being through the senses. She finds herself on three journeys, each cascading into one another. By exploring the surface of life through ideas of whimsical freedom, purity, and self-realization-dismantling the perception of taste from the lenses of desired platonic and romantic relationships, and uncovering themes of race, family, self-hatred, and fear-she realizes her instability and lack of belonging run deeper than expected, and restoration comes at a price. Her walls are down, and she is stripped bare through vivid language. These poems, like dots, connect slowly to reveal an indisputable visual of reality. We must slowly but surely piece together the poet's life, uncovering both the exquisite and the distorted-that's how we begin to heal.
We all have our Muses, or wish we did, who inspire us to take on creative ventures, get our imaginations perked up, motors humming. In Nine Breezes Blowing Johnny Flaherty has composed a focused collection of poems about nine Muses, partly memoir and partly maybe, all riding on their own breeze. Though his stories are contemporary, his Muses are modeled after those alluring Goddesses portrayed in Greek Mythology. Music, art, dance, poetry are inspired in these stories, often through enchantment. Johnny has previously published three full books of poetry and has recorded a spoken word CD titled Johnny Flaherty's Renderings: sideshow poetry. SPR has called him "a bold observer keeping his eyes peeled for the mystery and beauty of the world."

¡Entregada al hechizo, me arrodillo (hipnotizada y quieta) en el asombro del sentir-de esa tu huella! Y pregunto al camino: ¿En qué momento es apropiado acariciar ese eco maravilloso de tu huella? ¿Cómo encajar en su congruencia? ¿Cómo detener el paso para contemplar la historia abierta? ¡Y llego a la conclusión de que eres camino-pájaro -eres río! Eres semilla antigua y semilla nueva, ¡Y árbol sedentario...! -Rosa Flores"Este libro propone un imaginativo recorrido por los elementos naturales que la versada del maestro Artemio Posadas invoca en los sones de su disco El Viento que Murmura. Es un poético homenaje a la región huasteca del estado mexicano de San Luis Potosí, su música y su gente, e incluye páginas suntuosamente adornadas por la fotografía que lo acompaña".-Everardo RodríguezBibliotecario de Libros Únicos y Antiguos para la Universidad de Stanford"El libro sugiere sentir la imagen descrita en su poesía; palpar el suelo, la piedra y el horizonte; al leerlo ¡se escucha clarito el canto del ave por la mañana y se puede notar la veneración humilde de los rayitos de sol cuando al amanecer se asoman en silencio hacia la vida!" -Autora del libro"La poesía que contiene este libro nos dibuja y- a su vez- alaba parte de la gran riqueza de esta región milenaria. Leerlo es reencontrarse a la distancia, con la sencillez de sus gentes y de sus tradiciones". -Dr. Artemio Posadas

In this searing, heartfelt memoir, a Jewish woman embarks on an international journey to retrace her late father's escape from Nazi Germany, beautifully weaving past and present as she grapples with loss, intergenerational trauma, and hope for a more just future.Like the layers of earth that accumulate from generation to generation, the layers of a family's story, constantly impacted by the effects of erosion and destruction, build, break down, and build up again. Eventually all the layers intermingle. Bocholt, Germany, 1938: The son of textile and clothing store owners, Walter Stern was a young boy when Hitler came to power. As violence against Jews escalated, Walter's father began smuggling money into Holland, carefully hiding rolled up bills under his bicycle seat. When their shop is destroyed during Kristallnacht, the night of shattered glass, the family is forced to flee the country, narrowly avoiding capture while crossing into Holland. After his father and uncle are arrested-and later sent to their deaths at Auschwitz-Walter, with his mother and grandmother, find refuge in a cramped corner of a farmer's attic, where Walter listens to the BBC to break the monotony and paints to dull the fear. They are liberated after 909 days in the attic. Massachusetts, 2016: In the wake of a tumultuous election and the rise of antisemitic and racist hate crimes across the country, Irene Stern Frielich feels compelled to better understand her father's past. Armed with letters, documents, and her father's archival video testimony made in 1993, months before his passing, Irene painstakingly maps out her ancestors' route to safety. In 2018, accompanied by her husband and oldest son, she travels to Germany, a place to which her father swore he would never return. Over the course of three trips to Germany and Holland, Irene connects with the current owner of her family's clothing shop, shares tears with the grandson of the Dutch farmer who kept Walter safe, and fights for her family's story to be remembered. As she follows the exact path her family used when fleeing for survival, she reflects on how the past leaves an indelible mark on future generations. Thoughtfully researched and poignantly written, Shattered Stars, Healing Hearts is a love letter to generations lost, a testament to the importance of memory, and a powerful reminder that we can always find our way home in the most unexpected places.

In his third collection of poetry Elias Siqueiros has gone to great lengths to explore the various aspects of formalism while maintaining a modernistic language and view of the world. The poet has taking on traditional English meters and the use of rhyme while also engaging syllabic meters more common to Romance languages. All the while one feels the poet is loose with his new styles, moving in and out of presences like an actor on a stage. The use of science fiction tropes appear in this collection, most notably in the sequence of sonnets Dispatches From A Future Colony and the long poem The Replacements from which this collection takes its name. The result is a poetic language to give the twenty-first century a new poetic direction.
