An Arrangement of Colors and Sense

by Jill Garroway

Blackout poetry is like sculpting: You begin with a page of text and carefully remove the unneeded words to reveal the poem within. It can be as simple as coloring over a page with a marker or, as in this book, it can be done using digital photography and art to complement and enhance the story. The themes range from relationships to mental health, feminism to activism, plus a dose of general whimsy.

The Ghosts of Us

by D Michael Hardy

In his second collection of poetry, D. Michael Hardy explores the idea of the past as ghosts we must learn to accept, as pieces of ourselves that both comfort and haunt us, from childhood memories and lost friends, to the places we once lived and the people we'll never see again. The Ghosts of Us is a haunting collection of poetry that reminds us of all the things we’ve left unsaid, undone, and unresolved. It is a stark reminder to cherish every moment, love more often, live without regrets, ... more

The Skywriter

by Ticic

This book is a very internationally minded collection and - for a poetry book - quite a narrative one. It deals with lived experiences and intimacies to do with locations as diverse as China, various parts of Europe and the United States, where the protagonist is a young woman who is originally Croatian. Thus, the different points of view overlap and evolve as the story quite literally pushes you forward.

Afterglow

by Michelle Marie Jacquot

Afterglow is a collection of poetry from a strange time. Starting in 2020 and ending somewhere between then and now, it's about figuring out what living really means.

It's learning to look for an afterglow in all things. To throw your hands up, surrender, and feel the sun coming.

Spirit

by James Murdock

Spirit dives deep into present beauty and brutality, enhancing the prism through which we perceive and value our experience. Murdock’s take is timeless; his poems are born when his heart catches his soul, exploring the warmth of friendship, joy of love, and shameful justification for cruelty and violence. The gamut lies within / sit down / open it / and bring your spirit along.
