"Picture a girl with scars that don’t show. She’s on a highway hitchhiking. She’s wearing a USC varsity sweater she got cheap at a thrift shop. She’s carrying a battered suitcase, not much inside. The girl has seen every kinda thing but she’s not broken. She will give you a chance, but don’t cross her. This is the protagonist I pictured when I read Wendy Rainey’s extraordinary new chapbook, Girl On The Highway. The poems will break your heart, then educate and inspire you. She will enchant you, too. Buy this book." ~ Suzanne O’Connell, author of What Luck

Poetry

Warning: Do not read SUDDENLY, ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE!!! at your desk while pretending to work, or worse, while eating or drinking, or you will choke on a chip and squirt coffee across the room through your nose, if you get off lucky. SUDDENLY, ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE!!! is the perfect gift for lit nerds who love the OED and the Urban Dictionary with equal sweaty fervor. SUDDENLY, ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE!!! is tender to word and flesh, every page is delicious. - Donna Hilbert, Gravity: New & Selected Poems

Suddenly, All Hell Broke Loose!!!

Making Up: Poems

Phillips, Shannon

A sip of wind invites you into the bright angles of its home, entertaining your senses at nearly every turn - of course, in the bedroom, but also in the kitchen and especially outside: strawberry tobacco, thick coffee, orange blossom water, all the meats you can imagine. Simões' style, eloquent and assertive, dances with and around the many women in this book, or perhaps the one woman in this book. Maybe she is the poet, maybe she is you. Whoever she is, what is clear is that she carries her home with her everywhere. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Nora Simões is a Community College English Instructor who earned her M.F.A. from California State University, Long Beach, and her poetry and book reviews have been featured in A Nation of Long Beach Poets, Askew, Pearl Literary Magazine, Chiron Review, VerdadVerdad, Rip Rap, and Sole Image.

Tamara Madison’s Along the Fault Line is a bildungsroman in poems, in which the mature writer honors the salty desert where the young writer began her literary life. Here is where her eye for landscape and ear for the music of daily life were born and groomed. Here is where she developed her voice, sharp as cactus, piquant as lemon, resplendent as bougainvillea: “I could see the train snake along / the valley floor, watch vultures / circling in the pale desert.” Madison is in love with the natural world and in love with language. This small and perfect book is testament to that love. ~ Donna Hilbert, author of Threnody
