Some people keep journals - with daily entries being tallied everyday - while others write poetry and fiction short stories, as well as getting the occasional tattoo. All of these contain clues into their daily lives, emotional and physical journeys, and chronicles of their newest epiphanies, accomplishments, realizations, and milestones - small, medium, and large. Run on sentence much? This book, Michael DeBenedictis’ sixth self-published volume - a collection of poems and fiction short stories - does just that. It also contains pieces that reach out to others to tell of observations and stories that encompass experiences of the collective 'everyone else' and 'others', as well as snippets of daily life in his own small town though his eyes. There also exists a personal journal - sitting atop one of his bookcases - that isn’t necessarily written in every day, but will still not see the light of day, however.

  • Polishing the Silver
    Jennifer Chrystie
    ‘There’s a touch of both Dickinson and Larkin in Jennifer Chrystie’s mature exhumation of the tales and tropes of family. Figures who could so easily flit like phantoms in her well honed poetry are palpably enjoying an after-life in the poet’s ability to redeem through deep understanding. The collection arcs from, at one extreme, the parsimonies of the household, to the transce...

  • One Kiss
    Edward V Bonner
    The very title of Edward V. Bonner's first volume of poetry, One Kiss (Ingram, 2015), suggests some ways in which the poems inside balance the universal with the particular. Most of the poems examine the themes of beauty and risk, pleasure and danger, in the context of one of three kinds of relationships: to romantic partners, to the spiritual world, and to the world of nature....

    Volume 5 is a follow-up, in theme, to all of the four poetry and short story books that came before it.
