Описание:

Erica Hoffmeister's Lived in Bars is an exquisite road trip across America's still-feral landscapes and people. The poems are a woman's experience in lostness and finding: brutal and benevolent, in crisis and of tremendous grit.

"There were certain things you lived with, and certain things you lived without." Perhaps this taut line best describes the push/pull and lived duality that Erica Hoffmeister writes about in Lived In Bars. There is an urgency to understand the past, home, and lives like that straddle the line of the academic and the tender of the bar, the patron and the daughter, the lover and the one who stands firmly and demands to be loved here, now, in this haze of smoke and with this traveling past. What I mean is Hoffmeister is standing at the edge of the poetic form, at the edge of past and future, at the red rocks in Utah and the wet trees by the ocean in Charleston, begging us to look closer at our seedy underbellies, our histories as they are, our drunken arms open on the road without denial, without shame, with sound and sense and the poetry in everything.

-- Tara Shea Burke, author of Animal Like Any Other
(Finishing Line Press, 2019)

McCabe Poetry Prize (2016), and has been nominated for Best of the Net.

Описание:

Castor is a renowned musician with the band Vigil & Thieves, and presents this hardcore look into life on the road, heavy drinking, and all the bedroom music one desires. These are poems of love and all its problems, the joy of makeup after the horror of breakup, the self abuse, loyalty and the big question of what does love look like. This is an unflinching look into a queer relationship, vulnerable and brave.

"With both the warmth of nostalgia and the urgency of lust, Bedroom Music is a refreshing new breed of poetry. Steph Castor's poems burst with an eager aesthetic energy. Here, the reader is invited into one poet's road trip through memory, into landscape, dogma and generational inheritance. The lyrical and often unpredictable narrative weaves through secret lusts, confessions and cinematic meditations. One part memoir and one part poetic discourse--Bedroom Music is rigorous yet fleeting, elusive while still candid. It's an experience to read, one which draws the reader in only to breaks their heart. Perhaps it is this breaking that is a central theme in the collection--the reminder that we must break before we mend."

Jason Preu's poem, To Grow a Hole the Size of Everything, is hand-written and illustrated in this full-color, completely unique book. Jeanette Powers' artworks are layered and complex dada explorations in form and feeling.

The orginal art was created as a stand alone, one of a kind art book on a hand-made, banana paper sketchbook and is reproduced here as close to its orginal form as possible.

Описание:

"Maiurro spills his mind onto the page with fervent energy, chasing after each notion through a series of rabbit holes as though it may never run its course. In his characteristic narrative prose style, he brings together a seemingly paradoxical combination of grim confessionalism and romantic idealism while inhabiting a surrealist world--a recognizable-yet-dreamlike corner booth of Denver, Colorado, where canaries swallow fire and poets swallow cities, where cities are moving, breathing characters comprised of the people who reside in them, and where people can make their blood stand still if they follow his directions...Through all of this abstraction, metacommentary, and philosophical curiosity, Maiurro remains a poet of the people, never straying into academic or literary pretense. Instead, he speaks onto the page like a punk-themed poetry night microphone for anyone willing to listen. All told, these poems make for an imaginative and readable collection by a storyteller who captivates readers whether they consider themselves fans of poetry or not."

Dianne Borsenik brings her second full-length book of poetry to Stubborn Mule, and we are beyond thrilled with this elegant book of poems. She is a modern master of form, with abecedarians, acrostics and more, you will struggle to find the form with her astonishing ability to put content first and form second. The book of "ragas" is divided into Sitar, Shehnai, Bansuri, and Tabla and creates a beautiful rhythm throughout.

Dianne Borsenik is active in the northern Ohio poetry scene, and travels to perform her work throughout the Midwest. Her poems have appeared in numerous journals and anthologies, including Rosebud, Slipstream, Chiron Review, Main Street Rag, Lilliput Review, Modern Haiku, The Magnetic Poetry(R) Book of Poetry (Workman Publishing, 1997), and A Rustling and Waking Within (OPA, 2017). Crisis Chronicles Press published her first full-length collection, Age of Aquarius, in 2016. Actor Jonathan Frid ("Barnabas Collins," Dark Shadows) used three of her poems in his one-man touring show Genesis of Evil, and Lit Youngstown printed her poem "Disco" on their tee shirts, which makes her feel like a rock star. Borsenik is editor/publisher at NightBallet Press, and lives in Elyria, Ohio. Find her on Facebook and at www.dianneborsenik.com.

Описание:

"Wide ranging,

thoughtful, intelligent,

at times elegiac, surreal, and

humorous, Chase Dimock's Sentinel

Species is a collection of poems that,

as its title suggests, watches over the

varied life forms on our planet, from

animals and plants to humans. At the

heart of Dimock's project is compassion

towards all beings, especially those on

the fringes of society and culture. In

excavating the stories of the under-

represented or the forgotten, Dimock

gives them voice and thus dignity.

This is a beautiful, at times painful,

but always inclusive, generous,

and tender book."

and associate professor

Описание:

Webb writes a potent and poignant poetic memoir of the loss of her partner to cancer from diagnosis to death and then the aftermath of those left behind. This genuine and intimate experience of grief is raw without dramatics, devastating while resilient, and manages to keep the sense of humor that shows our deepest humanity.

"Crying at Walls chronicles the passing of a life and a life changed by that passing. Grief is encapsulated in moments by time, although "chronoclock time isn't a good measure of life" and the grand spirit of Jessica Elise could never be fully expressed in a single day of elegy. The monodies written by Macey Webb "cobble together a whole religion/ called i love you & you are sacred" and after reading these poems I, too, am left a believer."
--Huascar Medina, Poet Laureate of Kansas
