Stay With Me, Wisconsin
Eleven sensual and modern-day short stories about love, loss, sex, devotion and desire. Set in the small lake towns and suburbs of the country's Midwestern heartland, the tales thread from one heart to another with extraordinary effectiveness and power. Lovers, partners, family members and friends-they push courageously toward love, and often win. Intimate and impeccably crafted, they invite us into the passionate world of one of the most important new voices on the American literary scene. JoAnneh Nagler, author of "Naked Marriage," wows her fans again with her first foray into short fiction, where they will beg her to stay.
The Very Edge
The Very Edge is an intense collection of urgent and inspiring poetry that brings together writers in English, Spanish, and French. It features New York poet, Anne Whitehouse, and Kansas Poet Laureate, Huascar Medina. Co-edited by Polly Alice McCann and Araceli Esparza, it celebrates thirty-six contemporary poets. Fly from the top of the Swiss Alps, across towns and prairies; from the waters of the Amazon to Manhattan rooftops and through a dry and arid land where you can come to the table, hear histories woven and find that frayed edges reveal true heart and spirit. With art direction by designer, Kēvin Callahan, this book features several artists including the work of textile designer and photographer, Samantha Malay, and incredible meditative portraits by award-winning artist, Mano Sotelo.
Blue City Poets
This chapbook edited by Polly Alice McCann was inspired by a painting for the 2018 Kansas City Charlie Parker Jazz Festival, edited by an artist, illustrated by a painter, designed by a portrait artist, and filled with the artful words of poets. Poets are often artists and vice versa. This collection weaves together a cross-section of voices that represent differing experiences from a region that crosses one river and two states and as "wide the river bend as you like." These poems certainly have rhythm, and they hold the blueness of the open sky and the soul of Kansas City music. Each poet's voice is a Kansas City voice, and each is true. The book is divided into sections by both a sense of emotion and a sense of place: love and loss and of course urban neighborhoods and sweet farmland. Kansas City is all that and more. Enjoy these poems and art of both heart and heartland.
Poems in Glass
POEMS IN GLASS is a uniquely original book. Part memoir, part revelation. "From the pulse of a small city park at dusk, one artist is forever changed." Hasna Sal's insistence that the "artist's role is to bring awareness" sounds simple until you walk the bed of shards, she crosses with the people in her community. From a local doctor and his family, to the invisible victims of trafficking, to the weary student in need of spiritual sustenance, Hasna explores both outer and inner sanctum; our personal deepest needs for spirit and light. These poems and essays art cast with an eye toward advocacy for the arts, for victims of trafficking, and the environment. Illustrated with her brilliantly cast glass sculpture, Hasna's lyrical verse harkens back to the form of Sufi poets, and the warmth of bygone days where color brings visceral emotion and therapeutic energy to the mind and body. Color is the elixir of life.
What's That Sound?
Over and above, an ABC book, "What's That Sound?" teaches the letters in the order of the most common sounds with strategic visual concepts and artfully hand-cut illustrations.
Stinkbomb and Ketchup-Face and the Pizza of Peril
There is something cheesy going on in the kingdom of Great Kerfuffle! The rascally BADgers have escaped from jail again and they made an amazing discovery--a pizza mine! They love eating it, of course, and selling it to make money to fund their villainous plots. But there's a big problem: the Loose Pebbles library is tipping over without all that pizza to hold it up. And if it tips any farther, the entire island of Great Kerfuffle will flip over into the ocean! So it's up to Stinkbomb and Ketchup-Face to save the day. But even with a shopping cart disguised as a horse, secret agent sunglasses, and an elephant who walks by at just the right moment, a surprise that's bigger and badder than ever throws them for a loop. Will the island of Great Kerfuffle be no more? We can't tell you, because that would spoil the story!
