In STORIANA, a slender volume of just over one hundred pages, Penelope Weiss moves with the speed of light. She conveys a sense of New York life in a New York heartbeat. You will meet Egon and his sisters as well as Mr. K. and his kite. In whimsical stories set in New York City and in Vermont, you will encounter real and imagined animals such as a hanger-bird and a lion-bird and magical Dalmatians. The book opens with a story about the assassination of President Kennedy and ends with a story out of the Jewish shetl in Europe. All Weiss' stories are imbued with sunlight and the clairvoyance of children. The concluding tale, Velma and the Cossack, portrays a young girl, Velma, who looked right through the Cossack. Starlight, moonlight, sunlight all shine in this book, which takes a highly imaginative spin on life in the Big Apple, in Vermont, and other, sometimes imaginary, places. Open Storaina. You will fall in.-- Lynn Strongin

Kathryn Rantala presents five narratives in prose poetry that explore how the mind orders the universe, how we interpret past and present life experiences, especially relating to grief and loss, under the influence of art and architecture, music, natural history, other formal studies and pop culture--and vice versa.
A collection of poetry by Katrina K Guarascio, accompanied by the photography of Gina Marselle.
Here is a collection of poetic wonderment, musings on the ineffable universal experience of beauty as it is. Real, at times veiled by the uncertain consequence of letting go or giving in, yet always an experience on the lip of the chasm, preparing for wild success or the wailing dismay of failure. Guarascio's poems are filled with beautiful creatures, metaphoric animals crawling amongst the words, haunting the reader with their subtle, but necessary presence. In these poems are love, loss, resignation, breathlessness, intimacy and touch; the edge of the blade pressing against the plump flesh of the fruit or the slight swell of hipbone under a lover's hand.
Come in, enjoy a cup of coffee, and sit a spell with Harriet Murphy as she regales you with her tales of family, life, and love in the early 1900's in the former gold mining town of Old Pine near Lake Tahoe in Northern California.
When one woman creates we know this as spell casting. When one or more of these female titans get together with the intent to produce art we call this act of goddess: splitting cells. Lord help us all if they begin to shed clothes, vulnerabilities, secrets, traumas, and metaphors that bounce like agitated atoms. This is the naked truth shook loose from words and physical form. This is poet Katrina K Guarascio and photographer Shawna Cory when they decided to comingle and author a book. ~Jessica Helen Lopezauthor of Always Messing with Them Boys
