From poet Courtney Peppernell comes the story of a very long winter, a month of dark and unforgiving Sundays, that will make you question your strength and the purpose of living.

Vincent Toro’s third collection of poetry is a work of Latinxfuturism that confronts the enigmatic and paradoxical relationship human beings have with technology. The poems are a tapestry of meditations on social media and surveillance culture, satires on science fiction and the space race, interrogations of artificial intelligence, cyborg economics, and biohacking, and tributes to women and queer and BIPOC people who have contributed and are contributing to human survival and progress in a technology obsessed world.

Through Ruby’s gentle words, discover how to harness the power of self-love to transform all aspects of your life.

Jack Kerouac’s archive is vast. Throughout his life he was constantly writing, and he meticulously saved and catalogued his material. The result is that beyond the work published in his lifetime there has been a rich stream of posthumous writing that is far from tapped. This collection of previously unpublished writing culled from the Kerouac archive, and as a companion to Paul Maher Jr.'s Becoming Kerouac, spans Kerouac’s adult life, from a journal written at age seventeen to autobiographical reflections a few years before his death.

Witty, candid, furious, and always compelling, Them! negotiates the fraught and fruitful space between the worlds of ‘online’ and the ‘outside’, and how they fuse and diverge in the imagination. Giles’ visual poetics create an unusually dynamic listening experience as she finds new ways ‘to sing, shout and strike in the cracks of what’s possible’. At a time when trans rights are to the fore in public discourse, Them! is a zestful poetic intervention from one of this generation’s most necessary poets.

An electrifying collection of poems that tells a universal tale of survival and revolution through the lens of Black femininity. Tara Stringfellow embraces complexity, grappling with the sometimes painful, sometimes wonderful way two conflicting things can be true at the same time. How it's possible to have a strong voice and also feel silenced. To be loyal to things and people that betray us. To burn as hot with rage as we do with love.

いまここの向こうの「その世」に目を凝らす詩人と，「この世」の地べたから世界を見つめるライターが，１年半にわたり詩と手紙を交わした．

It seems that you have come across my book of poems. These poems are inspired by every day life challenges. I became very sick with long covid, and the only thing that got me through was prayer, my family, and writing. I stopped talking to someone very close to me, and became very close to me, and it was very hard.

The world has opened again, which means you can now finally take that trip to Japan, the country you’ve wanted to visit for so long... But what if you get there and sound like a complete foreigner? What if you start speaking to a local but get tongue-tied finding the right words to say? Sounds like a nightmare, right? It doesn't have to be that way... Here's the deal: We created this Japanese-speaking crash course dedicated to making you conversational in 30 days or less – without spending months on a random language app that you'd mentally force yourself to use.

A personal poetic journal, which provides uplifting insight on what it is like to live as a single woman with an unknown silent journey of life's roadblocks and successes. It briefly polishes the discovery of triumphs through troubles. It establishes confidence among conflict and unforeseen circumstances. It also intrigues you to step outside your comfort zone to revitalize your life design, and contribute to others while remaining firm in your beliefs.

Rooted in the grit of urban Baltimore and the forests of rural Massachusetts, these poems remind us that life's tensions and polarities are energies we carry within ourselves. These are poems of witness and commentary, conversation and meditation. They offer moments of close looking, and of looking away; of loving, and of bungled attempts to be more loving. They call us to look long and hard and generously at our lives. Written with radiant honesty and fierce tenderness, they suggest a path of inner discovery where mystery awaits us in the ordinary.

Creativity is the mark of poetry as it sings our senses in appreciation and realizes another perspective to what surrounds us. Another poem, another realm of understanding. Poetry affords one to a taste of strength of suggestion that whets the palate very differently to the manner in which a fictional or non-fictional novel cannot achieve. Enjoy your journey through this book as your listening material companion.

In the beginning, the world is spoken into existence with one word: “Earth.” There are no inhabitants, and no sun—only the broad sky, silent sea, and sovereign Framer and Shaper. Then come the twin heroes Hunahpu and Xbalanque. Wielding blowguns, they begin a journey to hell and back, ready to confront the folly of false deities as well as death itself, in service to the world and to humanity. This is the story of the Mayan Popol Vuh, “the book of the woven mat,” one of the only epics indigenous to the Americas.

Step beyond the veil of the ordinary and into a realm where fairytales are not as they seem. 'The Grimoire of Forgotten Fairytales' beckons you into a world of eldritch lore and enigmatic verses. From twisted nursery rhymes to cryptic riddles, each minute is a key to a door yet unopened, a path yet untraveled. Will you heed the whispers of forgotten tales and unlock the secrets that lie within? Venture forth, if you dare, but remember: some doors, once opened, can never be closed.

Throughout the collection, each poem unveils a unique facet of the human experience, from the depths of self-doubt to the playful spirit of a domestic panther and the mesmerizing beauty of a teal sea. The verses intertwine to create a poetic tapestry that resonates with the intricacies of life, encouraging listeners to embrace their wild spirits and cherish the feral and free within the heart of their dwellings.
