Biting Thorns Off Roses

by Megan E. Hoffman

Biting Thorns Off Roses is a transmutation of deep pain.

Through poetry, Hoffman strives to not only remove, but to also intimately examine the masks we all wear to hide from the world—and perhaps most importantly, the ones we wear to hide from ourselves.

Next Time You Come Home

by Lisa Dordal

In NEXT TIME YOU COME HOME, Lisa Dordal distills one hundred eighty letters she received from her mother over a twelve-year period (1989-2001) into short, meditative entries that reflect upon motherhood, marriage, grief, the beauty of the natural world, same-sex relationships, and the passage of time.

When you feel like no one understands you, like you are the only one who can help you, like there must be something wrong in your brain, what do you do? You try your hardest to save yourself, but you fail every time, because you can't help it. You can't help feeling the way you do, you cannot avoid the pain or neglect yourself.
