There are hidden parallels that make the readers more curious about enlightenment. Different kinds of symbols are used to create a new understanding of identity evolution, mixed darkness and sweetness of the soul's journey, and concepts of the interdimensional worlds.

  • Gusher

    by Christopher Soden

    An exploration of the life of a queer American male, born in the Bible Belt (Texas) in 1958, from childhood to adulthood, examined in meticulous, authentic, vivid poetry.

  • Telling Signs

    by Marvin J Lurie
    The poems in Telling Signs tell compelling stories with a long perspective: historical, Biblical, archaeological even to an "unimaginable future when time has swallowed us too." Evoked voices enact the randomness and unfairness of war in stories told by soldiers of the Hebrew Bible and those of both Union and Confederate soldiers of the American Civil War. The poet's intense personal engagement with the natural world begin as a child lulled to sleep by roaring waves and extends... more

  • A Year in Words

    by Steven Kemp
    The year is 2007 and my mind is full of poems and a need to write. These poems I wrote are a diary of emotions reflecting the day that they were written. They are an eclectic journey through my year. They reflect an emotional journey whose intent is to diarise in rhyme the moment they were written. Oft the poems are whimsical, sometimes philosophical, and other times musing. The poems were written without edits, the poems in this compendium are of the moment, no revisions were ever considered. T... more

  • I Am Both Woman and Child, Both Tame and Wild

    by Maggie Maze
    This book collectively presents an array of topics from my life experiences as a girl growing up in the Midwest to becoming a mature older woman in the age of social media. As both illustrator and writer I enjoy presenting an image with a brief story or verse. Many years ago my parents asked me to design a Christmas card. This is where it all started. Hand-made Christmas cards expanded into other modern American holidays, such as Halloween. Halloween is a favorite of mine as it offers up so muc... more

  • Corvix

    Corvix is the definitive collection of Valentin Per Lind’s poetry, written between 1985 and 2022, complete with the original author’s notes that explore the central themes of the poems and the inspiration behind them. The book, then, differs from a conventional volume of poetry and assumes the form of a series of poems and essays which range from the Romantic tradition to gritty social realism. Adopting an experimental approach to rhyme and meter, and frequently mixing prose and poetic styles, ... more

  • Uncle Jay Has a Booboo: A Heartwarming Tale of Love, Kindness, Empathy, and Resilience: Rhyming Stories and Picture Books for Ki

    by Sabine Ruh House
    This book helps us understand schizophrenia from a child’s perspective. It was created to act as a tool for open communication between kids and family members suffering from the disease. Parental mental illness has been found to have an impact on offspring in their emotional, social, and behavioral aspects of life. They can have poor self-esteem or struggle to adjust socially. However, "resilience is not an inborn quality, rather, it is forged through many adversities that challenge them.' (... more

  • Sunset Blvd.

    by Living Artistry
    My vision going into compiling Sunset Blvd. was centered around the vivid, often all-too-surreal experiences in our youth that we hold closest to ourselves. I broke Sunset Blvd. down into three, cohesive parts: Creation, Obsession, and Transformation. Each chapter has visual design elements that are tailored to their individual theme, with Sunset Blvd. overall designed to slowly approach the understanding & learning that comes with healing, becoming whole again, and finding which parts of your... more

  • In the Cosmic Fugue

    by Jocelyn Heath
    In the Cosmic Fugue takes its title from Carl Sagan's Cosmos: while we on Earth believe in our own importance, we are but one voice in the cacophony of the universe. My collection likewise takes its spirit from Cosmos, as it is an attempt to make sense of both suburban adolescence and the chaos of emerging queer identity. Journeying from earth to space and back, the speaker must separate herself from expectation and discover how to live as her true self. Through science and human connection, she... more

    by John Hamley

  • Myth Takes

    by A Gee
    Whether you carry around an encyclopedic knowledge of the Iliad and the Odyssey or think your Ajaxes belong in the cabinet under the sink, you'll enjoy the sonic feast within these pages, which reexamine the Greek myths with purposeful typos, a nod to modern sensibilities and literate, joyful wordplay.

  • Golphino

    by Michelle Blower
    This is a poem yet a story. There are perfect skies, sandy beaches, the hue and cry of tourists, hustlers and sea-birds. There is an abandoned hotel where you can check in and check out whenever you want. This is a story of being missing. Of surviving. Of seeking the missing piece. The missing peace....And like the ocean, there is an undercurrent, often hidden, yet a strong force. Sometimes this energy can pull you under. It is easy to disappear.

  • As I Lay Dreaming: Poems and Micro Tales of Reveries, Memories and Dreams

    by Pamela Brothers Denyes
    DREAMS--The worlds we dream can be more fascinating than the world in which we live. How are such technicolor adventures created within a sleeping person's mind? Let's explore together.

  • The Right Mistakes: Poems On Imperfection and Renewal

    by Pamela Brothers Denyes
    I am that odd bird who enjoys reading history, even biographies. In reading about President Thomas Jefferson and his friend, Benjamin Franklin, I found that both men kept personal journals, as did many men and women of their era, which outlined their efforts to continue their personal growth in ways they felt important to an enlightened and developed adult’s life. Reviewing these lists of positive personal traits and habits, I found myself wondering which of them I might find still relevant. ... more

  • The Widow's Lovers

    by Pamela Brothers Denyes
