'From crooked roads and cold nipples, to ice fishing and Easter Sunday, this formidable collection traverses the sacred and the profane with bawdy humor and unflinching honesty, finding beauty in calamity and pathos in pop culture. Sanguine and subversive - these poems are as cagey and wiley as a Tom Waits song - at once rowdy and restrained- because these are thirsty poems, restless, urgent poems and at the center of all the searching, is love and wonder - our two great gifts. Cautery makes us feel a little less alone in the world.'                                                  Steve Simoncic                                                  Musician & Writer 'Reading this work, I found myself having a visceral response in my body. Brossiet doesn’t flinch from the painful stuff when writing about his family and faith in all its ugliness and fracture. Cautery manages to transform suffering and survival into something rather luminous. Even in the hardest stories, beauty and meaning can be found.'                                            Rick Sullivan                                            American Abstract ArtistAaron Brossiet has poems published previously in The Mac Guffin, Sky Magazine, Mudfish Magazine, Passager and online at Redneck Review and Jet Fuel Review. He also won the 2010 Literary Life Bookstore poetry competition judged by Heather Sellers and was short listed in the 2012 Fish Short Memoir Prize judged by David Shields . He earned his M.F.A. in creative writing at the University of Texas El Paso.

  • 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....
