In Honey, I’m Home, Nathan Graziano gives readers an unflinching look into the mercurial worlds of marriage, parenthood, and vice. With an intrepid poetic pen, Graziano introduces a motley cast of characters, including alcoholic neighbors and sages at the Home Depot. At times his poetry will sojourn into the surreal—sharing coffee with Depression and receiving visits from the ghosts of ex-girlfriends—but, mostly, Graziano’s bold, unostentatious verse digs its heels into reality and doesn’t turn from an often unsettling truth. From the birth of his first child through his first year of marriage, Graziano chronicles the human condition with a discerning poetic eye. Honest, compassionate, eclectic, and often funny, Honey, I’m Home is Nathan Graziano’s most accomplished collection of poetry to date.

So Much Is Burning introduces readers to the inner city of San Francisco, immersing them in the infamous Tenderloin neighborhood. Poignantly observing the beauty and despair that pervade the daily lives of its inhabitants, Taylor’s poetry delves into the elements that give the bars and streets lives of their own. What results are empathetic illustrations of the human condition that possess a strong sense of place and celebrate the spectrum of emotions that comprise our existence, all tied together by photographs that complement the poetry’s stark imagery.

Dream Big, Work Harder

Rebecca Schumejda

"You have to travel Rumble Strip with an empty satchel and an open heart to see into the specific depths of nature coinciding with man s often destructive symbols, but the reward is that you can see it all through a trained poet s eyes that show you how to step, how to breathe, and how to live without ever suffering what befalls us all in the end." --Paul B. Roth, editor & publisher, The Bitter Oleander Press

Rumble Strip

Jason Tandon

Poetry. Set against the changing seasons in suburban America, the poems of SWIMMING BACK chronicle a young woman's struggle to make sense of her world after the early loss of her father. In various guises and with striking clarity, Taylor Altman invites us to experience transcendence in the form of a broken clock, a long-forgotten photograph, or the melancholy of a summer afternoon. These poems, with their incredible range of human emotion, effectively transform grief into art.

"It is choked with worry & anger, panic & disgust, all in the most uncommon and beautiful ways." --J.A. Tyler

For All These Wretched, Beautiful, & Insignificant Things So Uselessly & Carelessly Destroyed...

Hosho McCreesh

Fiction. Reading Tim Horvath's novella CIRCULATION, one imagines what it might be like to go spelunking with Jorge Luis Borges or to shelve books with Scheherazade. In this swirling ode to maps, dreams, and the redemptive power of fiction, the stories proliferate vertiginously. At their emotional core is the quest of the main character, a humble librarian, to understand both his father and himself.

Poetry. With stark and honest imagery, these poems convey the beauty, wonder, and despair of urban life, bringing San Francisco and its denizens alive with compassionate and insightful portraits of the human condition. Taylor's poems are the songs of streets and bars and celebrate the manifold humanity of the city. "These are poems that feel just like San Francisco. They are of a beauty abandoned and rolling and screaming under the wheels of headlights in the Tenderloin night"--Mark Eitzel, American Music Club.
