From the details of hikes in the mountains, conversations with children, observations in the college classroom or the church sanctuary, and forays into family history, Paul Willis weaves poems that "[push you] beyond the mundane to an unusual angle of vision." (Jill Peláez Baumgaertner, Christian Century). Several of the poems in Rosing from the Dead, Willis's second full-length collection, have appeared in publications such as Appalachia, Bark, Books &amp; Culture, Christian Century, Cider Press Review, Clackamas Literary Review, Interdisciplinary Studies in Literature and Environment, Mars Hill Review and Ruminate.

All in a Garden Green

Thirteen-year-old Erica Pickins does not want to play the piano--and she definitely does not want to go to England. But her father must take family and students for a fall semester abroad, and her mother insists she still practice, every day. In England, their new home becomes Hengrave Hall, a sixteenth-century manor house presided over by a group of nuns. While exploring with her new friend Pedro, Erica walks through a chamber door...into the Year of Our Lord 1578. There she is startled to find a music master in doublet and hose impatiently waiting for her. He mistakes her for Margaret, the elder daughter of the house, who is late for a lesson on the virginal--a forerunner of the piano.It seems that in a matter of days Queen Elizabeth will arrive on a formal visit, and the girl is to play for her as part of the planned entertainments. Erica has no choice but to play along and pretend that she is Margaret. With a little help from her brainy friend Pedro, and after making a few whopping social blunders in welcoming the Queen of England, Erica manages to pull off her final performance--but not before the real Margaret reappears at exactly the wrong moment....

In this thrilling new anthology, Willis has assembled some of the most talented erotica writers currently publishing, writers who understand the nuance of language as well as the importance of a hard cock. From the watchful eyes (and sticky keyboards) of M. Christian, Greg Herren, Michael Huxley, Felice Picano, Ian Philips, Simon Sheppard, Kyle Stone, Greg Wharton, and many other voyeurs come these tales that will make the reader think while taking them to heights of sensory imagination never thought possible-into the world of the voyeur and the men who like to be watched. A View to a Thrill blows the lid off the dual taboo of exhibitionism and voyeurism, exposing everyone's dark little secret.
