Like four of my previous books, these are collected tales of the Spirits. These stories are shared with me by the Spirits to be, in turn, shared with any and all. Other than being short stories, they have no framework, no rack upon which to hang a hat. They are inter-dimensional, timeless, real and unreal. They cross the boundaries of myth, religion, history, and space.Some may seem simplistic, others convoluted; all are recorded as given to me. All are for the reader’s entertainment. If more is gained ... and judging by many responses, this is the case ... then, I feel, that is why they were given to me and why said reader is reading them. I think, and I hope others agree, that they can be very funny.Again, as in the previous volumes, Raven and Coyote, more often than not, take the lead; however, there are some others, herein, lending their voice.In the back of the book, a baker’s dozen poems appear. I usually shy from mixing prose and poetry yet I noticed a number of the stores dealt with music and, in any event, I was led to include the poems.As in my previous books, save the first one, I have tried to illustrate the way with, what I think are, pertinent images.The world of these tales is miraculous, mysterious, wonderful, surprising, shocking, and some times confusing. It is a world that I have grown fond of and forget it may seem strange to the new reader. I suggest one just jumps in. All the stores from all the volumes stand on their own. If the reader enjoys this particular book, I recommend the others.Within, there is a story, a word, an image for everyone.

  • 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....

  • Tales of Reflection
    Doug Hodges
    Unlike my previous ten books, 'Tales of Reflection' is about myself, pure and simple. It travels from the 1950s through the present, chronicling my times, my events, and their relationship to the times and the events about me. It is a book no one else could write, full of pathos and full of humor, full of fear, and I hope, full of love. It is my life, spread out like a blanket ...

    This will be my third collection of poems. However, poetry flows throughout all my volumes. To me, ’poetry’ is a way of communication and it is diverse, overlapping prose, overlapping music ... sad to publishers and those who would put creativity in a niche, I feel life as a great woven tapestry of creation ... from a distance, maybe distinctions may be made; up close, all is a...

  • New Vistas
    Doug Hodges
    This is the author’s sixth book and fourth collection of short stories dealing with Raven, Coyote and Spirit animal friends. There are fewer stories and they are longer in this volume. Whereas, the earlier tales could be simplistic, fabalistic, even moralistic, these latter records seem to show more individual character, more plot. There appears to be a greater influence of the...
