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.
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.
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 the same strategic visual concepts used by literacy specialists in the field. Using artfully hand-cut illustrations, author-illustrator LeAnne Bauman Litka playfully engages young readers inviting fingers to touch and track from top to bottom and left to right. Uniquely helpful to differing learning styles, this book includes smart visual cues to help readers discover beginning, middle, and end sounds. ? It cleverly illustrates the idea that some letters represent more than one sound. Simple, neat, this book provides beautiful time-tested objects and characters that become easily recognizable silhouettes so students will connect sounds from everyday spoken words to their partner consonants and vowels. Alone or with guidance, children will enjoy interacting in a fun and engaging new experience as they are rewarded by the increased self-confidence from a foundational understanding of their new letter friends.
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.
Detroit's Lost Poletown: The Little Neighborhood That Touched a Nation
Poletown was a once vibrant, ethnically diverse neighborhood in Detroit. In its prime, it had a store on every corner. Its theaters, restaurants and schools thrived, and its churches catered to a multiplicity of denominations. In 1981, General Motors announced plans for a new plant in Detroit and pointed to the 465 acres of Poletown. Using the law of eminent domain with a quick-take clause, the city planned to relocate 4,200 residents within ten months and raze the neighborhood. With unprecedented defiance, the residents fought back in vain. In 2004, the Michigan Supreme Court ruled that the eminent domain law applied to Poletown was unconstitutional--a ruling that came two decades too late.

The Eden of Perhaps
Agnes Vojta grew up in Germany, spent a few years in California, Oregon, and England, and now lives in Rolla, Missouri where she teaches physics at Missouri S&T. Her first poetry collection Porous Land was published in 2019 by Spartan Press. "The Eden of Perhaps is equal parts vulnerable and fierce with a subtle touch of humor, a deep twist of desire, and twin scoops of heartache and hope. A moving collection of poems for women on the edge of breaking open, standing on the ledge of possibility, their hearts in their hands." --Molly Remer, Brigid's Grove "John Gardner once said that there are only two basic plots: a stranger comes to town and a person goes on a trip. In her strong new collect...
