Amirah Al Wassif is an eye opener. Her poetry pulls no punches - a vision of a world turned on its head, through no fault of those who must reside there. These are the words of one who has experienced more than her age would indicate. Her engagement with her themes, her subjects, rolls an extremely personal take in a universal wrapper. These are poems that need to be shared. Readers will come away with greater appreciation for the beauty in our world and greater indignation at the outrages committed against it.

Al Wassif, Amirah

"A stirring exploration of trauma and healing ... The collection's greatest strength is the author's wrenching honesty; it takes courage to reveal the realities of psychic pain, and these poems are braver than most in that regard." - Kirkus Reviews
Adam Levon Brown's Break is not just a raw exploration of mental illness, the poetry brings an awareness to the reader of the suffering and vulnerability of themselves as well as the author, triggering a deep seated round of self reflection and introspection. An awakening to the reality of the world around us. Adam creates this with his incredibly moving gift of poetry at its soul bearing best.

Break: poems on mental illness

Go "in-country" with Corpsman Tienter. Dave's insightful observations and indelible wit bring Ten Tiny Tales out of the shadows of typical soldier poetry and into your living room. The mud, the blood, the overpowering green of Vietnam...
Ten Tiny Tales combines poetry and short story to immerse the reader in the corpsman experience - not your typical Vietnam tale. The corpsman had to rush to the frontline to help the fellow soldiers in harm's way, and with little to no feedback on how they were doing. Harrowing and uplifting simultaneously..

Tienter, David

Jonel Abellanosa's poetry pulls no punches. Previously published through a variety of ephemeral outlets, In The Donald's Time gathers at last Abellonosa's potent poetical observations in one place.

Words are a curious lot. Dog, scarf, sister, pint – all dead, static things. But put them in the service of a conjurer and they dance. Christina Quinn’s magic is her ability to choreograph simple everyday observation, to have us experience these things as more than a museum. Exploring the dirt and the light of family, relationships, life as lived, and spinning it all into a revelatory universal tango. The joy of a dog rocketing between conspiring sisters; the ability of a scarf to act as a time capsule or a pint as an anchor… Quinn’s deft weaving of memoir with poetry is a celebration of making up some steps on the way home.
