Only for a Moment
by Tabitha VohnPoetry is an act of survival. A cry to everyone and no one. Intensely personal, shamelessly honest, and oftentimes an admission of inner ugliness, Only for a Moment chronicles nineteen years of the author’s life. It explores ideas of transience, transition, and redemption through the battlegrounds of metamorphosis from young girl to woman. Each poem presents a snapshot; a puzzle piece of what ultimately becomes a collective consciousness. A road map to trace back through the labyrinth of people ... more

God & Other Poems
by Maryrose CarrollGod & Other Poems offers the very last, riveting poems of poet, publisher, anti-censorship-warrior, Paul Carroll. Undaunted by the knowledge that he would die in just weeks, he forged on, continuously writing, until semi-consciousness seized control. He jokes about having a date with God, laments that he is “tired of being a man.” He displays his endless imagination and brio in questions as “Have you ever looked closely at a horse’s vagina?” This is the same man who born into wealth, went t... more

Love Drink Fight Hate: Four Cantos at Serenissimo's Behest
by Yankee Alighieri"From how many elements," asks the immortal Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (aka Serenissimo), "Should a proper song be nourished"? Four to be precise: love, drink, fight, hate. And so for every element Yankee Alighieri has seen fit to provide us with an entire canto, the culmination of which is a paean to Western Civilization in general and English-speaking civilization in particular -- with America at the helm. Epic in scale and content Love Drink Fight Hate will carry you from the windy plains ... more -

The Gettysburg Undress
by Rick LupertRick Lupert's The Gettysburg Undress is a delightful romp through the museums and tourist attractions of the mid-Atlantic States. I found it more believable than Steinbeck's Travels with Charlie. His wife, Addie, is a more interesting personality by far than a poodle. His observations are written in a minimalist style which is a cross between Basho and Brautigan. Each poem is a tiny masterpiece. Some poems, like "Animal Hospital," strike a ghostly chord. His humor is inclusive, making the reader... more
