About portraits of red and gray: memoir poems:

Take an unforgettable journey from Cold War USSR to the Canadian wilderness, from the mountains of Tuscany to the beaches of Normandy, in this acclaimed collection of memoir poems.

“Stunning in execution without devolving into saccharine platitudes, look out especially for the titular ‘portraits of red and gray’ about the poet’s trip to Soviet Russia in 1983, the wry humor and heart of ‘into the heart of Temagami’, and the warmth of ‘Torta di Riso’.” – Excerpt from a review by author Jennifer deBie

Ending The War On My Body by Katherine McClintic

About Ending The War On My Body:

Ending the War on My Body is a decade-long poetic march through the minefield of body image, self-esteem, and the eventual path home to one’s own body. It traverses the life of the young feminine through visceral poems written from the trenches of disordered eating and body dysmorphia, the torturous chase for beauty and perfection, and the futile search for validation in romantic love. As the shots fired in youth begin to mend, peace between mind and body is negotiated. This collection of poems invites anyone who has scorned who they saw in the mirror to make peace with their body as it is now, and how it will age.

The Truth I Must Invent

The Truth I Must Invent is a collection of narrative and philosophical poems written in free-verse style. Employing a minimalistic approach and whimsical language, Francis DiClemente explores the themes of self, identity, loneliness, memory, existence, family, parenthood, disability, gratitude, and compassion.

The Truth I Must Invent examines the conflicting web of emotions all adults face and the truths that lie in between. This poetic collection peels away the layers of our individual and universal experiences, delving into our innermost thoughts with a voice that speaks to the collective.

The work suggests that even in our darkest moments, joy and contentment can be found through resilience and a willingness to hope. It also offers a powerful reminder that we all have the potential to create our version of reality —a truth we must invent.

Tourist by TAK Erzinger

About Tourist:

The poetry collection Tourist (Sea Crow Press 2023) encompasses a journey that unburdens the weight of past guilt and trauma. During this voyage spanning multiple cultures and stages in life, the importance of following one’s inner voice and embracing one’s own path is discovered. Revelations are made in the middle of the night, during a pandemic, in the heart of the forest, at the seaside and in food, snapshots of past and present. Through the wonder and surprise of nature the search for identity is explored, surrendering to what cannot be changed and confronting the mercurial temperament of relationships and how they are perceived, one poem at a time.

“SLAM POEMS FOR MY BATHROOM MIRROR…And Other Selected Works” by Chris Courtney Martin

About “SLAM POEMS FOR MY BATHROOM MIRROR…And Other Selected Works”:

If THE BOOK OF I.P. was a ‘manifesto’ then SLAM POEMS FOR MY BATHROOM MIRROR serves as a disclosure. The hybrid collection lays bare the most vulnerable spiritual recesses underpinning the artist’s ongoing search for sense and empathy. Triggers and trauma track through much of this work, but these somber notes are part of a deeper and more nuanced chord– the cry of a cryptid being uncaged. {Paperback. 112 pages.}

A collection of memories and wishes brought about by seeing and knowing some of the best and most beautiful avatars of melanin-rich magnificence to grace this earth.

Cherubims by Edward Clarke

About Cherubims:

“The poems in Cherubims explore the complex labyrinth of childhood – and parenting – in ways that are unflinchingly candid, delightfully entertaining, and unmistakably wise. The collection offers readers a sustained and thoughtful musing on life, one that gives voice to puzzlement alongside praise, to worries as well as wonder. Throughout this volume Edward Clarke’s writing weds reverence and wit, a rare accomplishment in contemporary poetry, and make no mistake about it: these are brilliantly crafted poems, quietly elegant in style, unobtrusively measured in form, and thoroughly delicious to read.”- Mark S. Burrows

Love Is a Mental Illness by Franco Cardiello

About Love Is a Mental Illness:

A mental health counselor dissects his own toxic relationships. Lyrical lines and raw honesty tell an emotional linear story of mental health, abuse, breakups, and death. Love has the ability to drive us crazy, but narrative poetry fosters self-reflection and self-growth. Cathartic writing infused with psychology will educate and resonate.

THE BOOK OF I.P. (Idle Poems) by Chris Courtney Martin

About THE BOOK OF I.P. (Idle Poems):

THE BOOK OF I.P. is described as “ironic in concept, sincere in content” as it deconstructs prescribed best-practices for getting ideas greenlit as a screenwriter, and what it means to possess a producible story. Each work in the collection represents an ode to story concepts Martin finds screen-worthy. Most of these concepts are wholly original, while a couple poems hint at some unorthodox reboots on the writer’s “wishlist.”

Sew Me Wide-Eyed to the Fabric of Your Tongue by Dennis Collins Johnson

About Sew Me Wide-Eyed to the Fabric of Your Tongue:

Sew Me Wide-Eyed to the Fabric of Your Tongue offers an ironically personal perspective on living, loving, and sorrow, intersprinkled with dynamic imagery, emotion-infused wordplay, pertinent themes, a panoply of styles, and a number of inobvious but purposeful techniques, such as epanalepsis, that many readers may never even notice.

For over 50 years, performing artist and self-expression advisor Dennis Collins Johnson has written love poetry and other joys, including plays, full-length screenplays, one acts, scenarios, scenes, short stories, short films, comedy, songs, comic songs, teleplays, and commercials. He has performed much of his own writings, and has directed many others in performance.

Mr. Johnson has been a long time student of human nature, self-expression, and, as his next poetry book is titled, the rascality of random.

He hopes that you will keep this book, a life’s work, nearby and find it to be entertaining, sagacious, and helpful as you make your way through a bruising world.

canvas: poems by James Morehead

About canvas: poems:

“James Morehead’s canvas opens itself to the poetry of everyday life, where stanzas are etched in sand, and poems end in sunset. Combining micro-narratives of Boston bullies cornering a young boy, with minute descriptions of time in quarantine, it draws us into moving tableaus of tenacious attention to what went down, what might come up, and where we might find ourselves. These are poems to be savored, re-read, kept handy for those times when only poetry will do.”
‒ W. J. T. MITCHELL, Senior Editor of Critical Inquiry and Gaylord Donnelley Distinguished Service Professor English and Art History, University of Chicago

Schematics and Assemblies of the Cosmic Heart by Gary Gautier

About Schematics and Assemblies of the Cosmic Heart:

“Schematics and Assemblies of the Cosmic Heart is poetry of collisions and connections.” A cosmic landscape with its own laws of physics, bending with the impact and force of human passion and imagination. The poems are at once personal and archetypal, full of human feeling and emotion, rich in the joy and sadness of human connection, but all the while connecting to something abstract and eternal. The focus may settle on a brittle image, domestic or mythical, or on a transitory feeling that unexpectedly opens into a transcendental vista and then, perhaps, closes again. Each poem is tightly sculpted and easily read, but in a way that keeps readers reaching, connecting the dots in their own cosmic lives.

The Cry Of Our Children by Ruth Garnes

About The Cry Of Our Children:

“The Cry of Our Children”, is a collection of poems crafted as I battled and faced desperate trials. I refused to accept illness, abandonment, indifference or grief as the writer of my destiny; instead I channeled every horrifying event and crafted beautiful poems and lyrics. They’re not only of my own struggles, but of universal subjects like love, hope and triumph. Some poems are of the struggles that I have seen and are of other people; pain inflicted at times by others, people degrading and misusing people. I recognized that huge change could result from healthy involvements. In the depths of my own despair, I have learned to see other people’s pain and my own, more potently. I have written them as poems in a manner that will give my readers a glimpse of the myriad of experiences of my life.

Inkling Whispers by Francine Fallara

About Inkling Whispers:

Inkling Whispers is a collection of poems inspired by my numerous photo-walk escapades comforting my explorer’s soul. Expressing the beauty of a broken soul’s blossoming journey.

Through ‘Inkling Whispers’, I wanted to express, for my last four years, my personal growth, as illustrated through four major chapters of my life named after a compass’ cardinals. These chapters are defined counterclockwise through each cardinal:

From the North (eNd Me) where I wanted to escape the north pole of my life. Yesterday had to be locked up in the past once and for all.

To the West (Waft Me) where I drifted while healing my broken wings. Our empty sad hearts, breaking away from the heaviness of the past, yesterday is not necessarily good for today, learning to adapt from day to day.

To the South (Save Me) where I learned to press play and strut. Hanging to solidify your new anchors, standing strong, upright towards a soothing future.

To the East (nEw Me) where I dared to spread my wings rising to hopeful new beginnings. Burying your darkness, radiating your shooting stars, outgrowing your shadow.

‘Inkling Whispers’ reflects my inner growth, and how I dared to spread my wings to reveal my beautiful colorful soul to the world.
