Bukowski Boulevard
Although Smith's poems reflect Bukowski's raunch, she is never submerged by him. She blends humor with poignancy [and] go-go dances always to her own beat. --Robert Peters, Chiron Review.
Charles Bukowski Epic Glottis
A respectful, affectionate literary profile of novelist and poet Charles Bukowski (1920-1994). Awarding-winning writer Joan Jobe Smith -- a Pushcart Honoree -- shares up-close, personal recollections of her mentor and friend, Charles Bukowski. Charles Bukowski Epic Glottis also includes remembrances and comments from the women in Bukowski's life -- including Frances Dean Smith (francEyE), Ann Menebroker, Linda King, and Pamela Miller Wood (aka Cupcakes). "Joan Jobe Smith's book is a joy! A terrific, sweet, loving book--the interviews, everyone's reminiscences, the poems & Fred Voss's, the First Bukowski Festival--a moving, endearing Love Song, the kind of thing that happens at funerals when people stand and spontaneously tell stories filled with their love & memories. A book full of heart, Joan's own love for Bukowski's girlfriends, her own large spirit makes her the perfect hostess for this festival & whenever she speaks of herself it's with self-effacing & humorous humility. Her sweetness & goodness permeates the whole book. I'm moved on every page." STEVE KOWIT, author of The First Noble Truth(University of Tampa Press, 2007)

Charles Bukowski's Scarlet
Literary Nonfiction. Memoir. "It began as a whim"--an impulsive meeting between the iconic Charles Bukowski and his famed muse, Pamela "Cupcakes" Wood--that leads to a two-year relationship Wood chronicles in this memoir. Her story is refreshingly blunt as she details their often ridiculous, yet charming relationship. This is a Bukowski enthusiast's dream--an immersion into his life with the independent and spirited "Scarlet," the woman he wrote about in the book of the same name. She appears as "Tammie" in Bukowski's book Women. What was the powerful chemistry between Bukowski and the woman whose identity intrigued so many? Written with engaging wit, this is an insightful recollection of their life together. We see Buk as a gifted, flawed man, yet we appreciate him for his deeply sensitive and compassionate nature.
Lifting the Piano with One Hand
Gaia Holmes' work delves beneath the urban and everyday to reveal a strange and exotic other-life. Her second collection champions the point of view of the survivor, celebrating the indomitability of the poetic spirit, whilst measuring loss still felt against the new-found strength of starting afresh.
The Plague Dogs
Two dogs, Snitter and Rowf, escape from a research laboratory in the Lake District where it is wrongly supposed they have been purposely infected with a deadly virus and now pose a dangerous threat to the human population. As the authorities give chase, the two friends make their way through the hills and across the moors, along the way learning to survive on their wits and finding friendship and help from a fox they encounter. They dream of finding their original owners and a safe haven - but the hunt is on. A lyrical and engrossing tale, The Plague Dogs is a remarkable journey into the hearts and minds of two canine heroes.
