Dear Universe ... can you hear me? If Pierra Calasanz-Labrador’s debut poetry collection The Heartbreak Diaries was equivalent to an “ugly cry,” this second volume is an introspective journey, a quiet voice longing to be heard. Like stumbling upon an introvert's secret diary, these fifty poems chronicle fervent wishes, hidden fears, and everyday acts of bravery that may sound uncannily familiar. Whether you are searching for a soul mate, battling self-doubt, clearing out skeletons in your heart, or trying to chart your own course in an increasingly judgmental world, Dear Universe is an astute, empowering reminder that you are not alone. Featuring illustrations by Frances Alvarez.

It tells about metallurgy and tool making, metal finishes and corrosion, sources of information and supplies, charts and guidelines for many tasks.

Providing an inspiration for all blacksmiths are portfolios of the wrought iron work of Martin Rose and Samuel Yellin, two of America's premier metalworkers of the past. To further inspire and to show the new focus of blacksmithing in the metal arts, six contemporary metalworkers show a series of demonstration pieces of their iron work.

This is the first collection of Justine Camacho-Tajonera's poetry, spanning earlier published poems and poems from her blog, Claiming Alexandria, beautifully illustrated by Melissa dela Torre. "This first collection resonates in its deceptive mildness, where it is expansively lyrical but also intellectually grafted to mature commitments as it spans voids and barriers of cultures, broken affinities, and reckless children crossing back to take their due, even as fragile bridges burn." - D.M. Reyes "Justine Camacho-Tajonera explores landscapes of memory and longing with a clear and unwavering eye. Even as she writes of her travels in different parts of the world, her poetry remains deeply personal and engaging. Gift is a splendid first collection." - Jim Pascual Agustin
