Horkheimer's Critical Sociology of Religion

'What Sits Between My Veins' is a look into the most broken parts of Samantha Slupski, but it is also how she is mending those broken parts. Samantha has always struggled with feelings of abandonment and loneliness, and writing this book was a way to be okay with existing and holding all of that pain. Along with her own healing, she recognizes that we all have emotions that are real and valid. She hopes her book is a tool for people to recognize that they are in no way alone in this world, and that although existing can be hard, there is someone also going through that pain who is existing alongside them. She wants this book to be a reminder that no one is alone. And existing is okay and necessary.

Damian and Ezhno live across the country from each other and both work dead end night jobs. Every morning, they stare at the same rising sun and contemplate martyrdom for causes they haven't found yet. They almost – but not quite – want to switch places. Ezhno is from New York, but is stuck in Kansas City, and craves the chaos that mirrors sanity. Damian has never been able to escape New Jersey, but has his sights set on Kansas City and bills he can afford to pay . They are lost souls who have lost most of what they've ever loved – this has pushed Ezhno into lunacy. They want to find purity like they think they used to have. They want to find a home that feels like it. They want to find a way to make the past stop kneeing them in the groin. They probably won't find it, but they're looking. All that's for certain is that you've found them. It's very important to Damian that you remember his name.

I was standing
(You were there)
Then I fell down
there was no reason
to have fallen
except there was
a snap
I broke my leg
I was standing
then I fell
no one could fathom
how taking one step
could shatter me into pieces
(don't lose your head
it is ok if you die)
the doctor said I would break
bones the rest of my life
17 so far
I might never forgive
a broken promise
(my mother said: 
"You never did know
when to shut your mouth")
Like father
like daughter
my aunt told me
he killed himself
to spite me
My Father was both
David and Goliath

Don't Lose Your Head

Earthworms &amp; Stars was the first book in Spartan Press's POP Poetry Series, which put out one book of poetry EVERY month for 36 consecutive months by Kansas City locals and regional friends. Jeanette Powers was co-conspirator for the project as well as first release. Her feral poetry is sweet as the dried possum blood on your dogs face. She currently is the Acquisitions Editor for EMP.
Beautiful &amp; Abominable was the 4th book in the POP Poetry Series, and Ezhno's first taste of book-selling. As taste's often do, this quickly led to addiction, and EMP was created as a chapbook press stop-gap quasi-suboxone fidget-spinner for tales of duende. Ezhno's poetry is both poignant and patently offensive with a soft wood rotting and fermenting underbelly of love and loyalty. As Editor In Chief of EMP, Ezhno's dream is to live in a van that settles down by the side of a different river every night.
Jason Ryberg's Spartan Press births more books than an Irish Catholic family, and this is in no small part due to Jason's legendary virility. The love poems contained are but a few of thousands written between fanning him with palm fronds.

Iris Appelquist presents her fourth book of poems, a banner year. This is a small and incisive selection of new works which assay the experience of a modern woman through the lenses of mother and daughterhood. The poems are wry, ascerbic and full of the signature existentialist humor of the author.

A banner year.

These poems travel from the dark places the poets have been, to the love of some of the many people who've got them out of them. They dance across the spine of the book spanning a correspondence between the two poets. It reminds us all to put the pungent and sweet things in life where we can appreciate them, our mouths.
