For many of those who've lived there, the Upper Peninsula of Michigan can seem like a magical place because nature there feels so potent and, at times, full of mystery. After having grown up there, Raymond Luczak can certainly attest to its mythical powers. In Chlorophyll, he reimagines Lake Superior and its environs as well as his houseplants as a variety of imaginary and historical characters.

A Misguided Thought is a collection of poetry that shows the overall life experiences of a 21-year-old—from living a sheltered life writing about his hopes and dreams to struggling with mental disorders, heartache, and trying to find his way back to the light through faith itself. The words within these pages intend to bring solace and clarity in times of conviction, and Jaelyn has come to be one of this generation’s greatest poets.

Who's Going to Love the Dying Girl? by Bree Rolfe is a revolutionary debut poetry collection touching on society, loss, illness, and learning to grasp with things that cannot be changed. Rolfe executes verse with precision and fierceness.

We're set loose, untended, like beings from a menagerie of sorts, one day cooped up, the next fending for ourselves out in the oddness of the world doing for ourselves. This is the motif pursued in Gateless Menagerie. We intersect with the wild as well when out roaming, reacquainting with the animal kingdom and it with us. We are one in the same: gateless and viewed. How do the animals see us? How do we appear to them? Are we in harmony or only tolerating one another?

The Animal Within is filled with poems that want to swim together, focusing on animal and human nature. Dive in and listeners find a world where horses speak their minds, crawdaddies sing, and mermaids find love. Wolves howl "ahwoo at the full strawberry harvest moon in June", and birds do more than flap their wings, but rather create a voice for the oppressed. Humans step in, personas based off the author, and consider loss, depression, and love- inner-self mixed with creature habits—scratching down a lover's back or crying in a zoo.

El libro del Génesis habla de una escalera "apoyada en la tierra" cuyo "extremo toca el cielo" y de la cual suben y descienden los ángeles. Este subir de la tierra y bajar del cielo se le presenta al autor, tras la muerte repentina de su hijo, como una vía doble y simultánea para poder aliviar su dolor y acceder a la sabiduría. Paralelamente esta imagen le sugiere diferentes formas de pensar, una clara y sencilla, que poco a poco se va haciendo poesía, y otra, emocional, compleja e incierta, que se va convirtiendo en filosofía.

The John Milton Poetry Collection includes four of his most beloved works, sharing Milton's pioneering writing on everything from politics to religion. As you listen, be transported to the 17th century when political and religious tensions were high and war was imminent. Listen as Milton's works reveal his opinions on biblical themes, political division, and personal freedoms.

I have wondered at the many ways life turns me inside and out, every day of my life. I do my best to see life with depth and breath. A broader lens of what I see day to day. With practice and intent, I try to find the uncommon in everyday life. Simply living my daily experiences can in itself become a form of art. For the most part, this book has come together aroused by thoughts and feelings from my everyday life. Some are deeper, more insightful. Others are lighter and more playful. Some are haunting, with vivid memories that follow me through my life.

Poetry is about empathy, imagination, observation, and about internal and external truths. These works focus on a person's relationship with nature, others, and self, through depicting hope, love, memory, shame, immortality, acceptance, faith, happiness, confidence, passion, recognition, diversity, perseverance, forgiveness, vulnerability, and loneliness. Nevertheless, this poetry collection is like an assortment of gothic romances, because, despite a melodramatic imagination, love somehow finds a way to dominate and triumph all else.

In her devastatingly powerful debut collection, Cecilia Knapp examines the experience of motherlessness and its lasting impact, as well as the lessons passed between generations of women. These poems explore women's complicated relationship with their bodies, with sex, and with shame as she traverses the violence of romantic love, but also employs humour and mischief, a wry reclaiming of power.

Cineasta, tarólogo, psicomago, novelista, invitando a una mutación en lo más profundo del ser, explora los meandros del alma humana con 'humildad de perro', sin dictar pretenciosas sentencias de filólosofo o de maestro místico.

We take our memory for granted. Dementia will steal it in ways most of us could never imagine. Winter Solstice by Diana Howard burrows deep into the heart-rending poetic journey of a daughter trying to love and help her mother who is slowly losing her memory. Through poems and vignettes written over a period of 15 years, the listener will enter a world of denial, confusion, shame, fear, humor, sacrifice, patience, and love, finding solace and empathy with an experience many of us go through, yet struggle to find words to describe.

A Beautiful Void is an inspiring book of poems and short stories that came out of “nowhere” at a time of significant challenge around the world, during the outbreak of the pandemic COVID-19. It is a book that Babeeta hopes will inspire the listener to pause and reflect on what is truly important in life. The subtle nuances of her poems and short stories that span France, Japan, and India are powerful metaphors for positive human values and sensibility toward our environment.

I believe Jesus Christ is the way to any lasting relationship with God, with ourselves, with those we court in hopes of building a romance that leads to an everlasting Marriage after the "I do" of the wedding. But it all starts and ends with Jesus, to make Love Intertwined.

An Even Balance is an inspirational collection of poems and enlightening encounters, written from the heart, that I’ve had the joy of experiencing during my lifetime. This collection was motivated by my drive to find a balance that would birth a sense of wholeness and satisfaction for being alive.

When I was in the fourth grade, we had a map of Vietnam on our kitchen wall. When my mother received an airmail letter, she would walk to the map and move one of the stickpins to a new location to see if one of her brothers was in harm’s way in some new hot spot or battle. I spent a lot of time worrying about that map. I had five uncles in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War. This is a book about going off to war, a book about coming back home, and a book about those who are left behind. I dedicate this book to those voices, my family, and every voice calling out at times of war.

Set in rural southern Indiana in the '50s to '70s, these poems tell the story of a complex family dynamic. This debut collection blends Bible images, authentic dialogue, and powerful natural forces to relay the effects of family trauma and mental illness.

Far from being a poet of note or the wordsmith I wish to be, I’ve been flattered by others asking how I do it. Without the benefit of salient literary instruction, I’m urged to write, as providential inspiration may move while caring immensely about the outcome. I have learned that writing poems is cathartic and a wonderful laxative for the mind. Thus, to that question, I responded with the poem Take a Thought…Wholesome and Good to describe my way. That isn’t to say all poets follow the same creative pattern, and surely they don’t—I boast only of myself.

Life is many things and all the in-between. How big and wide will you live your life? Or will the fear of this day cause your experience to be narrowed, smaller? Starvation is not always about the stomach. It is all about the view.

The universe sends messages to us through its own unique language. It's up to us to listen and act on the secrets to living a fuller, more meaningful life while here on earth. We are all bestowed with our own free will, but how do we use it for the good of all, as well as ourselves? The answers lie within....
