The press is donating 6 titles as an e-book bundle:
Farthings by Daniel Lusk Master
“In Daniel Lusk’s Farthings, you’ll find witticisms, puns, mini-satires, jokes, delightful re-definitions. But behind all of it is Daniel’s unmitigated love of the natural world.”
— John Surowiecki, Author of The Place of the Solitaires: Poems from Titles by Wallace Stevens
Master Pieces by Ron Scully
“After having dived into master pieces, one cannot unsee how not only haiku can be a way of living, but chess too. What an exciting pairing! Ron Scully takes us along on a journey through a magnifying glass, sharpening the characters and ties of pieces, their tractive forces, and draws on 64 squares and beyond. Move for move. Picture a game of chess, bent heads, and as the pieces move, so does life, and the players as well. Thought-provoking poems from the well-trained eye of a dedicated observer.”
— Kati Mohr, Poet & Artist
Newtness by Rahana K Ismail
“What strikes me about these poems is the directness and sustained intimacy of their address to a fictional character – a reminder of how literary community can be no less real for being imaginary. These poems also ask questions that linger: questions about ‘how we came to this’, how we ‘cover up the skinness of our being’, and above all, ‘What now?’ I am curious to see the questions to which Rahana’s poetry leads her in the years ahead.”
— Arundhathi Subramaniam
Plato Is Better at Metaphor than I Am by E. M. Sherwood Foster
“A beautifully written collection from a talented writer who knows how to invoke stunning imagery with just the right word. Moving easily between subjects as common as water and as abstract as aliens, E. M. Sherwood Foster creates beautiful vignettes of everything from the everyday beauty of the earth, to the vast cosmos of space with the kind of elevated prose that is sure to please any poetry fan.”
— K. M. Allan, Author of The Blackbirch Series
Raised in the World of Everyday Poets by Darlene O'Dell
“In their very authenticity, Darlene O’Dell’s haiku and haibun both capture and transcend the personal. Vivid snippets of family folklore—forklift and coffee cup miracles—help us recall our own. The fine texture of her memories—constricting patent leather shoes, scratchy lawn chairs—elicit similar (or the same!) sensations in others. But the unifying thread here is poetry, a lifeline from parent to child to adult—one that may not save us from life’s adversities, but just might sustain us.”
— Scott Mason
the sound of healing by Chidambar Navalgund
“In his first collection of twenty micro (and nano) poems, Chidambar Navalgund captures moments from his life, his breath pausing at each juncture to process loss, helplessness, acceptance, and perhaps, making sense of existence itself. The words exude a depth of knowledge of his traditions and yet, he goes beyond, to rely on his inner strength as he traverses the bumpy road to healing. In the final analysis, what is important? As the poet writes: ‘between response & stimuli being human’.”
- Geethanjali Rajan, Haiku Editor of cattails
