by Tiffany Troy

Is it wrong to “want life to matter” amid a wasteland of toxic positivity, double whoppers, trains, and “fathers beyond reproof”? If work inv... more

ENDfinity

by hydrus Author

Everyone deserves love, understanding, to be heard, and, above all, hope.

I hope that by reading this book, you can find some direction, motivation, or... more

Journey Bread: New & Selected Poems

by Ruth Thompson

From the publisher: The title of this collection suggests sustenance, and the poetry within certainly supplies that; but it is more an account of the journey itself, the journey of an accomplished poet back through her life’s work.

Icons

by Jonathan Reeve Price

Computer icons carry culture, history, and code. As buttons, they awaken functions deep inside the system. As images, they evoke old technology, memes, and mysteries. And, as artwork bearing their own titles, they come loaded with implications, overtones, and attitude. In this light-hearted study, Jonathan Reeve Price explores the complex powers of 100 icons. Price created the first style guide for Apple's writers and designers, and here recalls the invention of computer icons, when the... more
