Ahmad Al-Khatat, a poet whose writing is influenced by the tragedies of war, passionately searches for normalcy amid the chaos in a country riddled with the atrocities born from the conflicts of warfare. Ahmad desperately holds on to his faith in humanity and the hope found in love as when he writes in One Woman "Her touches relieve my aches for the moments." It is here, in his belief in love, where the shattered shreds of the soul can be reborn to life that Ahmad's poetry takes us from the darkness of death to the light of life. -- Patricia Ann Mayorga, Editor-in-Chief, Poets' Espresso Review

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.

This silken haired, kohl-eyed gazelle that haunts these pages. Where has she risen from? A dark fire of lost desire smoldering in half-remembered dreams, she laughs as light as star dust reflected in moonlight. Lithesome and lean, she dances just beyond my grasp.Kris Haggblom, author of Broken Time Machine, returns with a beguiling poem of desire and loss. The Black Rose recounts a quest for a [perhaps imagined] lost love - a dream dancing at the edge of perception; a lyric quest for closure, searching for the roots of desire in a desert of lost memories.

Nigerian poet Ngozi Olivia Osuoha turns her lyrical eye upon a world too often swept under the radar. This book is dedicated to the victims of slavery and human trafficking.

Matthew Gregory Lewis (1775-1818) published The Monk: A Romance to great sensation and scandal in 1796 - before he was 21 - made even more so when it was revealed that the author was a member of Parliament.

Poetic Justice Books Classics presents Lewis' original 1796 text of The Monk, as published before the various revisions made by Lewis and his publishers in attempts to avoid charges of blasphemy. The 1797 review of the book by Samuel Taylor Coleridge from the prestigious Critical Review is included as a bonus.
