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.

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

I have also shared some of my artwork in this book-I don't claim to be a great artist, but art has been my beacon of hope in trying times. It is what I fall ... more

Restless for Words: Poems

by DeWitt Henry

Former Shakespeare teacher, novelist, memoirist, and founding editor of Ploughshares, DeWitt Henry in his first full collection of poems goes in varied and unexpected directions, from "mapping the heart" to meditating on the DNA of everyday words such as "candidate." He delights in quick-witted, gymnastic free association, contrary directions of thought and argument, and freely negotiates between the colloquial and literary, the personal and the cultural, and mixes moral searching with a benign,... more

Holy Sparks

A collection of poetry with an ecotheological spin, the poems in Holy Sparks are grounded in a belief in the kinship between the cosmos and its Creator. Biophilic imagery is used throughout the poems to suggest that reverence for the earth is a natural consequence of reverence for God. The language of poetry is used to interconnect the human, natural and sacred, and to express humanity’s moral and ethical responsibility to our nonhuman kin. These poems question what it means for humans to live ... more
