"You're now here in Dean Crawford's world. Forget your troubles, settle back in your Tom Robbins La-Z-Boy for a delightful tramp through the little Kansas cowpoke town of "You're Now Here." I can't think of a better way to spend an afternoon than with Calvin Cheeseburgers, Katie McGhee, (the villain) Ike Drogue, and the other characters who inhabit the town, including two ghosts-on-call-when-needed. Stick around for the inadvertent invention of the cheeseburger. It's a Blast." -Jim Lally, author of Stick Tight Man

"Jett's unique storytelling seamlessly blends monologue, poetry, and even recipes to create a strong voice that speaks straight to the hearts of readers. Each entry in Girl stands alone, but together as a whole they tell the powerful story of Girl as she navigates themes of identity, self-worth, trauma, family, and survival. Not a single word is wasted in this haunting book, and what is left unsaid becomes equally as powerful as the words printed on the page. Jett has created a cast of characters and a world that remain vivid long after the last page is read. Readers will want to pick up Girl again and again to read in its entirety, or to open to a random page and savor the poetic writing of this finely-crafted story."-Marcia Thornton Jones, author/co-author of over 135 books for kids

Udder Uproar is Cathy Perkins's debut collection of humorous poems. Courageous, crude at times but always unapologetic, the poems in this book surprise and entertain the reader with their mixture of frankness and vulnerability.

"True to his title there are many fathers (along with a few prominent women) celebrated here, foremost his own father Joe Howard "Buzz" Taylor, as well as ancestors like Reuben Taylor, first of his Kentucky line, surrogate fathers including his Uncle Louis and best friend David Orr, and his son, now a father himself, continuing the generational saga. But recalling that the child is father of the man, the chief reason to welcome this book is for the insights it affords into Taylor's early life story, including nostalgic accounts of his childhood in and around Louisville, Kentucky, vivid portraits of the people who shaped his development, and his reckoning with the fraught history of the Civil War and his legacy as a southerner. Taylor says this may be as close to an autobiography as he is apt to write, which is all the more reason to cherish these sketches from the life of a true Kentucky literary treasure."-Larry W. Moore, publisher, Broadstone Books

"In his new book of poems, Love House, Frank X Walker invites his readers in and speaks to them with consummate grace and intimacy about the things that matter most: loving, parenting, aging, living, dying, as well as basketball, birds, gardens, and golf. Walker, who is well known for giving voice to historical characters and bringing their stories to life, uses his insight, imagination, and hard-earned wisdom to write about himself and his family, including secrets, fears, and the unsolved mysteries that underlie daily living. Love House is "made of air, poems, books, and art" and real loving people brought to the page by one of today's finest and most prolific poets." - Greg Pape, author of A Field of First Things

"In Andrew Merton's view of poetry, brevity is the soul of wisdom. His poems are compact. He likes plenty of white space around some image or pithy utterance ... Merton is like some elderly neighbor, someone we pass on the street for years without a second look, someone who-when we finally exchange a few sentences-seems to be thinking and worrying about many of the same things we have, someone we would like to spend more time with from now on." -Charles Simic

"Boney-Fingered Reach for God is a remarkable debut, a testament to Mark Brown's striking imagination, energetic vocabulary, and devotion to intense love relationships. This three-part work is fueled as well by the poet's appreciation for the bizarre in historical situations, culminating in poems that literally radiate around the life of Marie Curie. Brown's vulnerable investigations of love and his wacky narratives are made all the more vibrant by the poet's metaphorical skill. It is bittersweet that the gracefully sequenced Boney-Fingered Reach for God is also Mark Brown's posthumous signature, the life of a poet cut short." -Molly Peacock, author of A Friend Sails in on a Poem

Second Skin by Katerina Stoykova discusses the horrors of growing up in domestic violence, and focuses on some of the long-term effects of such upbringings. This poetry collection features three main characters-a mother, a father and a child. The story of the family is told from the child's perspective. Initially published in Bulgarian by ICU Publishing, Second Skin received wide acclaim and attention, including a 2018 Creative Europe grant by the European Commission for the book to be translated and published in English. Upon publication in Europe and launch in London, ICU Publishing and Accents Publishing partnered for the distribution of the book in the USA. "Second Skin by Katerina Stoykova is a brief, but more than sufficient book. It is more than sufficient to expose the issue of domestic violence, and along with one child's fear-the fear of every child forced to love an abusive parent. The second skin you wear to hide what happens at home; second skin that cannot contain you. A book about the guilt due to the inability to forgive, about hatred towards the one who has moved on and forgotten. A book about the children cowering in the corners of their own powerlessness, who thirty years later continue hearing the screams from the other room. Difficult, true, and exceptionally important."-Natalia Deleva"'Welcome, Horror'-the title of the first poem. Rarely do we see such uncompromising poetry collections. This one is uncompromising on three levels: first, it is radical in its social message as an incriminating document of violence against women, of domestic violence and any cruel mistreatment, a cry for awareness and urgent political change; second, it is uncompromising with the poetic power of language and vivid metaphors; and third, with the carefully thought-out, long-matured and conceptually-arranged body of the book, which boldly mixes forms of prose poetry, conventional poems, fragments."-Petja Heinrich
