Where am I?Who am I?My vision's so blurred I can't see a thing. It's dark. I can tell. Even with my eyes closed, I can feel the oppressive weight of darkness. My throat's as dry as dust. My tongue feels like sandpaper. Tastes like sandpaper. There's a strong antiseptic odor in the air. Something's attached to my chest. Something's attached to my head. What's that blipping noise? My head is killing me. I feel weak, too weak to move. If this is death, the afterlife is not all it's cracked up to be. -- ComaFrom "Case 121" and "Silver Anniversary" to "Coma," "The Last Serious Man," and "Fogbound," Long Journey Home takes the reader on distinctive, eclectic, winding journeys through the astonishing complexities of devotion, relationships, longing, lust, and love with a dash of detective mysteries tossed in for additional spice.

Since the first death, humans have tried to understand it. We have sought answers to what is next. Are our loved ones gone forever? Or do they stand just on the other side of some flimsy, yet seemingly impenetrable membrane, waiting for the bravest of us to reach out?No one may ever truly know until they make the journey themselves, but that hasn't stopped us from telling each other stories, late at night, about the spirits and ghosts and demons who just might share our world, and of those who have been fortunate--or unfortunate--enough to make contact with them.MAKE YOUR PRESENCE KNOWN is an anthology for those who have ever pondered those questions, for those who seek to understand, and for those who enjoy those chilling stories of fiends and friends who speak to us from the other side.

In Dr. Paul Dunion's Family: In Search of Genuine Belonging, readers are taken on a journey to explore the many different ways that love can be derailed within a family dynamic. From the surface-level facade of the Looking Good Family to the emotionally Enmeshed and Estranged Families, Dunion provides insightful guidance on how to identify and break free from toxic patterns that may be holding us back.Through examining childhood roles and family expectations, readers are encouraged to step out of limiting beliefs and find their own path towards a healthy, whole love story. Dunion explores the concept of Enmeshment, where the family unit becomes the primary focus at the expense of individual interests, and the Estranged Family, where independence is valued above all else.But the real power of Family lies in its ability to guide readers towards a more complete understanding of love, one that cherishes both the self and others. With practical advice on how to navigate emotional intimacy and address relational breakdowns, Dunion's work is a profound invitation to find acceptance for where we come from while charting our own path towards individuation.Whether you come from a family that embraces or rejects individuality, Family: In Search of Genuine Belonging is an essential read for anyone looking to create a more authentic, fulfilling life. Dunion's insights and guidance offer a roadmap towards a whole love story that values both deep connections with others and a strong sense of self.

John Pietaro's latest collection might be referred to as "neo-modernist" in its reach-both backward and forward, with each phrase a full, radical grab. Innocent Postcards recalls the socio-political poison of the red scares, 1919 through the Cold War, as much as it celebrates visions, memories, emotions and the fight-back of the century. And still.Within you'll ponder black-and-white film and television, swoon to Spanish Civil War ballads, struggle through the evening news, groove to progressive jazz, cringe at the headlines and advertisements, and ride raucous punk and no wave. Also, marvel over seemingly mysterious documents on global spy sensations obtained through the FBI's open vault. The reports on rock stars and the Rowan and Martin Laugh-In show would be purely comical were the level of official ignorance not so repulsive.Oh, and the title? The "innocent postcards" overtly sent via airmail included cryptic messaging that might otherwise appear, well, innocent. You'll also find other tid-bits of the spy vs spy years tucked into these contents. Pay particular attention to the Bureau messages to and from the despotic J. Edgar Hoover.None of it should serve as comforting nostalgia."Innocent Postcards by John Pietaro lucidly and beautifully recalls the moods and realities of Cold War Culture and its impact upon us all today. If, as a recent New York Times critic wrote, American liberalism after the New Deal ran out of dreams and turned to the Cold War for a convenient enemy, we have all suffered immeasurably and may only now be emerging, we hope, from that long nightmare. Pietaro's poems offer a measure of recovery."-Paul Buhle, historian/author/editor, Encyclopedia of the American Left, Radical Hollywood, Blacklisted, Hiding in Plain Sight, Bohemians, SDS: A Graphic History, many more."Jazz is poetry is history is revolution is jazz. John Pietaro and I had a friend, Steve Dalachinsky, who hated the expression "jazz poet." Pietaro understands why. The pieces in this collection are not "jazz poems." They are jazz. They are poetry. They are part of the past and part of the future and we hope, part of the revolution."-Puma Perl, poet, writer, journalist, and frontwoman of Puma Perl & Friends. Her latest book is Birthdays Before and After."John Pietaro's collection Innocent Postcards is not a comforting nostalgia trip but a stark reminder of a turbulent past, inviting readers to reflect on the relentless pursuit of justice in the face of Cold War adversity. Written in language that is clear, precise and evocative, Pietaro explores the untold stories of bold writers, musicians, actors, dancers, and visual, film, and performance artists who risked their careers and lives for justice in a nation founded by and for a select few, proving that the past is present in all its poignant triumphs and defeats."-Richard Modiano, Director Emeritus Beyond Baroque Foundation and winner of the 2022 Joe Hill Prize for Labor Poetry

Metamorphic Door is a shapeshifting landscape. To read this collection is to tour the meat cave, the hadal zone, the summer air strung with mayflies. These are poems of noticing, full of insects, birds, and rocks; but also of viral videos, message-bearing geese, and the rat galactic. Supinka writes with a lantern curiosity, casting light everywhere her poetic gaze goes and these beams are further illuminated by illustrations which accompany the poems, as well as the combination of the two: poetry comics, which are featured throughout the book. Step through the eponymous door, roam its organic trappings, and feel your ecological and temporal attention transformed.

from the author: The book is putting my current life in perspective beginning with Covid/Trump/Ukraine war times, looking back through relationships in my life, then forward in metaphysical/philosophical ways to my inevitable end, a sort of dance with death. Full Moon Midnight means it's late and time is running out but there's still light and an awesome beauty in the cycle of life."There is a rare delicacy, a fragility, a soft tenderness in the poemsof Belinda Subraman's FULL MOON MIDNIGHT that is seldomseen in a book of verse. Each poem is a translucent pale yellowpetal on a Texas rainbow cactus flower. But don't be fooled. Belinda Subraman's poems are also lightning and thunder, a storm of words filled with suffering, ecstasy, and release. FULL MOON MIDNIGHT faces the brutal and the mundane and transmutes all the pain into a new book of revelation. FULL MOON MIDNIGHT is an unanticipated but so welcome master work from the brilliant Belinda Subraman."-Ron Whitehead, U.S. National Lifetime Beat Poet Laureate"In this new collection of poems, you can sense how Belinda has evolved and conquered an even more powerful expression. At times her poems are like paintings or photos. Other poems give life to her skills of playing with words, playing with rhythm and rhymes in a skillful manner, yet constantly with something urgent to tell the reader. Some poems are timeless while others delve into the present with its dark and foreboding clouds of war and massmurder. Others are very personal and intense where time and decay have their say. Her poems can be about being alone in the woods as a small child or about a bitter mother being hard on her. But there is no bitterness here, the joy of nature shines through. Although death, as it should, plays its part."-Bengt O Björklund, Swedish Lifetime Beat Poet Laureate"Reading FULL MOON MIDNIGHT by Belinda Subraman is like going on a vast, exciting journey through everything, each topic fully explored by an observant, discerning poet seeking deeper awareness, deeper consciousness, better answers. No subject is left out in this wide-ranging collection. We find insomnia, writer's block, war, mass shooters, activism, abusive mothers, false religion, the earth, meditation, zen, science, death, loss, eternity. Subraman is activist, lover, daughter, wife, historian, aesthetic observer/philosopher. Each poem is a pearl, finely created as in this excerpt from one of my many favorites, Infinite Mollusk: "A chambered nautilus/breathing water/exhibits mastery of life/tentacles sensing/fingers in the waves/pointing nowhere//everywhere//the inclusive mind/is love in action//the mind creates the abyss/the heart crosses it." And again in The Answer: " I see it now in everything I do -/A hazy hint of enlightenment -/In my handwriting, my painting,/The fizzy vibrations -/Atoms dancing infinitely/In the all encompassing unnameable bliss." I am so impressed with this beautiful work by a poet dedicated to words, knowledge, deep understanding. This is the kind of book that makes me realize how much I love poetry. I found myself reading each poem again and again, hoping that, with the poet, I would find some answers. What better experience from a book of poems?" -Susan Ward Mickelberry, author of And Blackberries Grew Wild
