This chapbook aims to be a sincere depiction of what it means to fall, with the good and the not so good, with poems being emblems for truths once lived, even if it's in imagination.

  • Exits

    by Stephen C. Pollock
    A recipient of the Rolfe Humphries Poetry Prize, Stephen C. Pollock’s debut collection nods to the literary tradition of years past while simultaneously speaking to the present moment. Multilayered and musical, the poems in Pollock’s “Exits” have drawn comparisons to the work of Eavan Boland and Seamus Heaney.

  • Family Treasons

    by JL Huffman
    FAMILY TREASONS is a treatise on the perils of abuse, whether physical, emotional, or sexual, at the hands of a parent, a spouse, or another relative, a one-time event, or an ongoing trial. These events are often publicly labeled as shameless, nameless, and blameless. While those who perpetrated such evils are not guileless, they certainly dealt with their own demons. This is not to exonerate them but as a recognition of the complex cycle of abuse.

  • On the Making of a Bitch & Other Siren Songs

    by Senai Asar
    Part of the story of the bitch is embedded in the story of the siren. Interpretations and definitions of what they both are generally stem from one root cause-- a male-dominated society’s attempt to malign women who do not follow societal mores designed to constrict female sexuality. Given this common source and origin, it is not difficult to imagine so-called bitches singing along with their mythical siren sisters of their shared experiences, their shared stories. In this poetry collection,... more
  • Crystal Reflection

    by Belinda LaForce
    Crystal Reflection represents the author’s passion for the expression of deep feelings, releasing thoughts that were previously kept unrevealed and silent through written words on a page. Each poem describes in some way how life can take a toll on our spirit and sanity, especially when we are not honest with ourselves and others about who we truly are as a person and smother our desires and dreams, not allowing ourselves to experience the life we are meant to have and feeling the freedom to achi... more

    by Anusha Akella
    About the book... Writing, for me has always been something extremely comforting and cathartic. Poetry is all about perception and perspective; And in this little collection, you might find some dark, some emotional and some possibly even heartening poetry.
