"Sometimes, the only way to the future is through the present of someone else's past." Confused? So is Silvina Kestral when she agrees to clear out the house of an eccentric dead actress amidst the ruins of a medieval priory in the French Pyrenees. Speaking of confusion, who were the Daughters of Babylon, and what does a tall dark stranger in the attic have to do with Creation's mightiest secrets? To find out, you'd have to ask either a Mexican cane cutter with a party of witches and a sense of rhyme, or a 19-year-old, badly married queen named Eleanor of Aquitaine. Problem is, where to start? And once started, what if the task never, ever ends...

Following the fall of the modern world, the State of Eden is divided into two distinct classes that all adolescents must test into. Students with math and science aptitude enjoy a high quality of living and technology in the Palaces, but in the Camps, students with artistic and verbal abilities must scrounge to survive. Breaker 256, a policewoman who was born into poverty, had always followed the rules for the sake of her family. But when the unthinkable upends her world forever, she is faced with an irrevocable decision: take down the State, and face defeat, anarchy, and death, or stand idly by to watch the sufferings of all of that she cares for. Written in stark, unrhymed verse that reflects the desolate world of Eden, The Death of the Wave asks what is most important -is it the person who tells the tale or the fact that the story has been told at all? The Death of the Wave will delight aficionados of dystopian futures and literary science fiction.

Professor and best-selling poet Alain C. Dexter leaps to his death at Valletta Falls, moments after posting his final Facebook update, in the shape of a woman's breasts. Thousands of fans click Like and move on; only one, in a small Icelandic town, sees through the morbid wit and takes measures to save him. Meanwhile, Constable Elsie Kalahash of the Ontario Provincial Police just wants to go on holidays. But when you're a Cree medicine woman trained in the Backward-Facing Path, there are no days off. You've enjoyed the story, now read the glosas behind them... Alain C. Dexter plays the lead in Dead Edit Redo, a fictional (?) novella about his life and poetry. In Dead to Rights: A Circularity of Glosas, you can read the glosas that were created during Dead Edit Redo.

Ladies and gentlemen, step right up, don't be shy, and enter the rhyming gyre of glosas, forty-four line rock operas, poetic pas de deux. Dead to Rights: A Circularity of Glosas features eighteen dramatic mini-tales, introduced by quatrains and philosophies that include Poe, Milton, Epictetus and Dickens; spun to effervescence by the spirited Alain C. Dexter. "Glosas deliver like a compact short story, in stereo; they're a poetic high energy drink, a double shot espresso of verse. You can read one glosa and read it again several times to experience a kaleidoscope effect of something new with each reread. Or you can take in a whole wallop of them and begin to sense the underlying structure that gives the glosa its . . . well, glisten." - Alain C. Dexter Contributors of Crown Stanzas include John Milton Gavriel Navarro Herman Melville Friedrich Nietzsche Alfred, Lord Tennyson Charles Dickens Edgar Allan Poe John Donne Rumi
