Bum Rush the Page
Bum Rush the Page is a groundbreaking collection, capturing the best new work from the poets who have brought fresh energy, life, and relevance to American poetry. “Here is a democratic orchestration of voices and visions, poets of all ages, ethnicities, and geographic locations coming together to create a dialogue and to jam–not slam. This is our mouth on paper, our hearts on our sleeves, our refusal to shut up and swallow our silence. These poems are tough, honest, astute, perceptive, lyrical, blunt, sad, funny, heartbreaking, and true. They shout, they curse, they whisper, and sing. But most of all, they tell it like it is.” –Tony Medina, from the Introduction
Fix
Paul and his companions must save Europe from the brink of catastrophe—the final installment in a “one-of-a-kind series” that reads like “if you put Breaking Bad and Reddit in a blender” (Barnes & Noble Sci-Fi Blog) America has long sent its best SMASH agents overseas to deal with the European crisis. As of today, they decided dismantling your operation was more important than containing the Bastogne Broach. Now, you’re dealing with the real professionals: Paul Tsabo: Bureaucromancer. Political activist. Loving father. His efforts to decriminalize magic have made him the government’s #1 enemy—and his fugitive existence has robbed his daughter of a normal life. Aliyah Tsabo-Da...
Rethinking Slave Rebellion in Cuba
Envisioning La Escalera--an underground rebel movement largely composed of Africans living on farms and plantations in rural western Cuba--in the larger context of the long emancipation struggle in Cuba, Aisha Finch demonstrates how organized slave resistance became critical to the unraveling not only of slavery but also of colonial systems of power during the nineteenth century. While the discovery of La Escalera unleashed a reign of terror by the Spanish colonial powers in which hundreds of enslaved people were tortured, tried, and executed, Finch revises historiographical conceptions of the movement as a fiction conveniently invented by the Spanish government in order to target anticoloni...
A LOST BOY TO A FOUND MAN
Desmond Edmond decided to present his talent for writing in a form rarely seen in poetry books. he presents an autobiographical storyline in A LOST BOY TO A FOUND MAN. With firm grabse of his talent he meticulously shows the reader his development of emotional stability and a belief in God that hitched a ride along the way. for this, any reader who loves books, especially ones of poetry, gets a rare read of his first poems and pieces of prose. Most writers, of any kind, can only share memories of what they wrote when first starting out. Uniquely, Desmond is able to spoon feed the reader with poems and pieces of prose that date back to 1996, such as STRIFE and 1997, such as AFRIKA/AMERICA. another poem titled JUST SOME WORDS gives visceral feelings when reading it, written in 2005. Viewing Desmond through this progressive lens like his poem YOU AND US, and then looking at poems such as NIKKI GIOVANNI, LION, MAROONS, SUNSHINE and surely to be a favorite THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM, the reader can actually witness the development of a writing style that is meant for the world to read. Rare indeed.

Winner of the Publishing Triangle's 2010 Thom Gunn Award for Gay Poetry and the 13th Annual Asian American Literary Award for Poetry. "I applaud Ronaldo Wilson's pathbreaking movement into what has never, never, in history, been said. About sexuality, in particular, these poems speak with incorrigible and raving clarity. And, always, they display intellectual curiosity, and an impatient, gorgeous readiness to make language new." Wayne Koestenbaum " A] warning to anyone tempted to believe that in objectification lies freedom. Livid inside an apocalyptic negative capability, these poems are constructed through their maker'...
