New from Unknown Press, this full-length collection of poetry explores the childhood memories and nostalgic daydreams of a grade-school bookworm now grown up to face cancer, debt, solitude, and the fear that all the joys and hopes of a bygone youth are slipping out of reach."An unflinching collection that spins a web of reminiscence sweet with heartache and dusted with longing for a youth now passed." - Ally Malinenko, author of The Wanting Bone and This Is Sarah "A poignantly beautiful and bittersweet cycle of poems-vivid reflections of a grown man coming to terms with the hopes, dreams and experiences of childhood, his present circumstances and possible future outcomes. The poems are evocative meditations on the transitory and ephemeral nature of life and our inevitable mortality. Though often tinged with sadness, they serve as incantations that are, at their core, hopeful, celebratory and life affirming." - Michael Gillan Maxwell, author of The Part Time Shaman Handbook: An Introduction For Beginners"James H Duncan's We Are All Terminal But this Exit Is Mine may sound like a dour collection of verse of a young man on his way to a desperate end, but in fact, nothing is further from the truth. Duncan takes his experiences from brutal reminders of mortality and hems them up with his succinct, deceptively-simple (quite complex) view of life that leaves the reader glad they breathe vibrant air, feel radiant sun, and never take life for granted." - Clifford Brooks, Pulitzer nominee and author of The Draw of Broken Eyes and Whirling Metaphysics"In his new collection, Duncan comes full circle as a poet. Whether he's being the heathen of light, the heathen of sin, the heathen of love, or the heathen of life's simple miracles-Duncan lays a firm foundation to dribble his heart-and-bones poetry on the guts of your soul. This is a compelling collection of poems that'll be a welcome addition to any bookshelf." - Frank Reardon, author of Blood Music, Nirvana Haymaker, and The Broken Halo Blues

In this collection of searing stories, everyone is damaged, wrestling with their mistakes while carving a path toward redemption. A mother, suffering from dementia, dresses in bee keeper costumes, dresses as Marilyn Monroe and Cleopatra, while conveying the art of a well-lived life to her son and granddaughter. A different mother teaches her sons how to steal from their employer working undercover of the night. Lovers save each other from demise. Bored and angry teens shoot potatoes, then mice across a lake using a homemade launcher. A daughter competes for attention with her father's new, conniving girlfriend. Nothing is as it seems in these stories which strike both hard and tender, taking straight aim at the heart.

What is the weirdest thing that ever happened to you? In this anthology, writers answer this question without blinking. Think UFO's, ghosts, and psychic phenomena, for sure, but there are also tales involving celebrity encounters, unbelievable coincidences, monkey feces, and more. Some of these tales have never been told publicly. Others simply need to be told more often. This collection includes pieces by Erin Parker, Sean Beaudoin, Paula Bomer, Ben Loory, and more in an encouraging affirmation that life is far more strange and exciting than our text books would have us believe.

A full length collection of poetry by Darryl Price. Wide in scope, beautiful in execution, here is the work of an artist who is as comfortable with the ephemeral as he is with the gritty. These poems weave in and out of subject, touching on nature, mankind, the great unknown and the 'here in the hands'. A marvelous work by one of the top poets working in contemporary American poetry today.

A stunning collaboration from Meg Tuite (prose), David Tomaloff (poetry), and Keith Higginbotham (collages), who've blended their work together in a powerful display that is all of these things: crushing, mind altering, odd in the ways that shine. The pieces in GRACE NOTES search the hearts and consciousness/subconsciousness for any trace of what is unexplored in the human web, to lay it out, without apology.

A collection of prose poetry, exercises, lists and visual art that both lampoons and fully embraces self-help techniques. Michael Gillan Maxwell has found a balance between the absurd, the beautifully profound and the crushing. The Part Time Shaman Handbook, is just that, a handbook for the person who doesn't take themselves too seriously, but who also likes to dance naked in the dark, make music, commune with crows, cats, loons, coyotes, packs of wolves and other power animals, spirit guides, passing trains, cars on the distant highway, stars in the heavens, waves crashing on the shore, thunder and lightning and all of the above. The mix of Maxwell's original artwork with pieces of writing are moving, but also gut-busting at times. Perhaps even a few tears will be shed by the aspiring part- time shamans who fall under the spell of this wonderful book. There's nothing like it.

Brilliantly slippery pieces of flash fiction and longer form prose from the author of Addicts & Basements, and Rift (with Kathy Fish), among others. Robert Vaughan is unrivaled in his ability to suprise, stimulate and explore. A magician with a typewriter. He returns here with stories to hypnotize in the tunnel of love, beguile in the hall of wonders, spin you around on the tilt o' whirl.
