BLACK LIVES MATTER! Released during Black History Month, this collection, featuring three distinct voices in conversation, offers readers an experience of protest, engagement, and sympathy evoked by the Civil War yet set against the contemporary Black Lives Matter movement of 2020. Al Salehi is a Persian-American poet and entrepreneur whose parents immigrated from the Islamic Republic of Iran, and Ivy Schweitzer is a writer and scholar from a Brooklyn Jewish family. Salehi and Schweitzer use Emily Dickinson's incomparable poems written during the mid-nineteenth century as entry points for their own meditations on still-pressing issues of color, fairness, the police and courts, even the 45th president, and how together we can imagine a different, more equitable world. Though a cloud of darkness pervades Within Flesh, it also contains glimmers of hope and resilience through humor and satire-showing that poetry can transcend time and borders, sparking healing conversations across cultures and generations.

A Bizarre Burning of Bees is a collection by gifted poet A.J. Huffman of Kind of a Hurricane Press. She is a widely published and experimental poet. This collection is a psychological exploration, a refute of destiny-- a harbinger of confusion and misdeed. In A Bizarre Burning of Bees, the speaker "sees herself as two separate entities: the localized I, and the antagonistic She." This collection presents a look at the art of madness, the sweetness of letting go of one's sanity, and the world of imagination and dream.

Where most poetry collections focus on family sentimentality or cultural history, the poems in 'The Translator', composed with real and surreal imagery, address the social, spiritual, and melancholic conditions of humanity with an emphasis on staying aligned with the natural world.

This poetry collection will introduce your assumptions, denials and compliance to the tainted reality of "the City on the Hill." The poems in this collection reflect a "dirty blues" perspective of the contradiction that America has always been, is today, but doesn't have to continue to be. You will be shaken and moved. You will feel the gluttonous furnace of scorched earth democracy, and descend into the commotion, the atmosphere "We the People" swim in. But, despite the bad things that might happen, the bad things that most often happen, these stanzas of Blues-toned perseverance will rebuke any plummeting into self-pity, anger or hate; every heart and mind: once bowed head, cautious mouth and averted eyes, will aspire to an incorrigible aim to misbehave. Throughout freedomland blues, the author writes words in fire to wake the world ablaze: free verse illuminated by courage that empathizes with all the awful moments, launching a freight train warning that blazes from the heart, like a chambered bullet exploding inadvertently. now, runantellyomamaboutdat!!

All humans seek love. It is the basis of our existence, the song that makes life warm and meaningful. In spite of the daily anger and meanness with which we are encountered in today's heated political climate, an anthology that speaks of love is a strong protest and refusal to give in to the forces of division. We requested poems about love itself-- poems that reflect love's nature and it's differing forms. In this compilation of beautiful verses, we wish to portray hope and the common things we take for granted. Everyone needs love. We at Transcendent Zero Press hope these verses warm your heart and remind you why life is a passionate and beautiful thing.

In Prescription of Civilization, bestselling Korean poet Wansoo Kim explores the meaning of the Christian faith in the modern world. His work displays courage and faith. In the introduction, he tells the story of his painful illness and several suicide attempts to end his suffering. He finds hope in a local community church with the message of Jesus Christ. Kim then sees Christianity as the true hope for a lost humanity, a humanity drowning in its own confusion and fear. The book covers themes ranging from science, the role of art and culture in a happy life, and the political life of South and North Korea. This collection is an important document to testify to the healing powers of Jesus Christ and the hope of redemption through prayer and commitment to faith.

The day clocks spoke Russian, broken glass littered the streets accurately reflecting a shattered world and stocks were going up and down like heartbeats of a terminally ill patient. That day, I sat down to write a poem. On the other side of the poem, I saw my father jotting down another stanza. A rose was blooming on the tip of his pen.

Our primary mission is to bridge truth and relevant information gaps between the haves and the have-nots as we liberate people from ignorance of what is happening around them and beyond borders. We culled this mission from our belief that peace, harmony and prosperous cohabitation of humans can only exist when there is fair and transparent gathering and dissemination of relevant fact-checked information for all humans regardless of their socio-economic and cultural status and orientation.
