Smells Like Rain
Written by Luce, Gregory
This is a collection is from a mature poet with a refined voice. Some of the work includes reminiscences of his youth in rural America. Luce also reflects on his Confederate ancestors, and how the values that motivated them have lost context in today's multicultural society. Another theme is how pioneering jazz musicians have provided him with inspiration. What ties together this bundle of topics is the poet's calm, lucid voice.
Sumud: Poems of the Palestinian Diaspora
Written by Paul Catafago
The son of a Palestinian immigrant, Catafago writes passionately of the generational trauma he bears--and how that trauma is magnified by Israel's horrific war against the people of Gaza. His words are lyrical, but simple and direct--meant to be spoken as much as read. The title of his book, SUMUD, comes from the Arabic word for steadfastness.
It Was in the Stars: A Sojourn in New Mexico
Written by Alan Abrams
In the spring of 1974, a troubled young man set out on a cobbled together BMW motorcycle, bound for Alaska. He stopped off to see an old girlfriend in Santa Fe, and remained in New Mexico for six years. These poems and stories were inspired by that sojourn. They include excerpts from Abrams' novel, The Journeys of Jack Isaksen.
The Teacher’s Mind Travels
Written by B.B.Reifner
Rief's book is a collection of poetry and stories grouped by themes--ranging from the author's youth, to his career as a junior and senior high school teacher, to his wife (and muse). His voice is raw and direct, no doubt formed by his domineering father, and by his experiences in combat during WWII. This book is about his search for redemption.
True Enough
Poems by Alan Abrams
So begins this chapbook, with an invocation by William Carlos Williams. Its poems ranges from Ovidian couplets to free verse, exploring love in its various forms, from eros, to the connections that tie families together. Abrams mourns the lovers he lost and the relationships he bungled: it was as though he had an uncanny knack for failure. But he cops to his bad choices, and bears this with humor, irony, and wit.
