Uncharted Territory Indeed! - Looking into a poem by Hideko Sueoka is like looking into a kaleidoscope-an auditory kaleidoscope, with your eardoing the 'looking.' A unique configuration emerges each time as you move from poem to poem to poem. The ear is startled by utterly unpredictable sound bytes. Multi-colored patterns you've never heard before emerge and swarm the ear, and you realize that you're hearing these mesmerizing patterns for the turns, scrubbed, refreshed, delighted. William I. Elliott, translator & poet

Untouched Landscape

Sueoka, Hideko

The poetic imagery in this gem of a collection God Box by Mark Fleckenstein is exemplified in the poem "Flight" where the poet likens falling leaves to "autumnal blood-stars" rooting again. Each brief image-packed poem is like pulling a postcard from a box filled with them, some small thing to marvel over and feel about each one. Throughout the book God is the thread that binds life together.

"Julia Gibson's debut collection takes us inside the mind of a poet without borders. For her, "ordinary flutters of existence" are portals to the greater universe, as well as the worlds inside another. Slipping in some subtle rhymes, sometimes echoing Hopkins, other times hearing Mary Oliver's open heart, she weaves her own music eloquently." John Oughton, author of Time Slip and Mata Hari's Last Words

The Cigar Box Poems

"The poems in Sarah Etlinger's Little Human Things scour heaven and earth for the redeemed and the unredeemable, the ordained and the unlikely, the present and the vanishing. They balance on a knife-edge between eros and grief, as they ask the important questions of human existence--"What do we call / the things we can't have / but our bodies know...the gathering of sighs / or the kinetic hopes of fingers..." Through letters, elegies, memories, and direct addresses to the beloved, Etlinger plumbs the depths of both the sacral and the carnal, and offers intimate details of the domestic milieu--and in her hands it is a freshly invented landscape. Little Human Things is a big-hearted, keen-souled book from a promising poet." Mark Wagenaar, Author of Southern Tongues Leave Us Shining and winner of the 2018 Frontier Poetry Prize
