Myshkin's Blues
MYSHKIN'S BLUES is a physical and emotional travelogue that takes as its patron saint Dostoevsky's holy fool. Organized into a double album in the manner of Cream's "Wheels of Fire" or Jimi's "Electric Ladyland" or Guns n'Roses' "Use Your Illusion," the poems of Mark Fogarty's questing work walk through the valley between folly and wisdom, relying on the magic of the blues to transform painful experiences into joyful ones!
ALL THAT'S BEST OF DARK AND BRIGHT
It's March Madness, and the University of Monroe Metrics are heading for an early end to a good but not great season. Then they are inspired by a mentor who shows them how to see the poetry inside and outside of them. The Metrics use this new energy to begin a march toward the national championship game and a date with their greatest potential. Mark Fogarty's sweet, funny short novel will introduce you to a team of worldclass athletes: Pip Pippen, who may or may not be related to Scottie Pippen; Lady Dagger, a combination of elegance and personal poetry; Jams, who has dunked in practice but never in a game; Meta Mustapha, who finds this book a name; GG, who has Pip's back when opposing players headhunt her; the backups, a closeknit group known as the Beeline, and Silly, an injured player who travels with the team. You'll also meet their nemesis, the Constitution University Amendments and their star player, the Big Girl; the Diametrics, the Metrics' offbeat marching band; and their poetry coach Eduardo Jonas.

Went to See the Gypsy
Now there's a second edition of Went to See the Gypsy! Are you a Baby Boomer that still rocks? Or a fan of rock's golden era of any age? Do you remember the first vinyl record you bought? Do you still play your favorite songs two or three times in a row? Then you will enjoy Went To See the Gypsy! The title is from a Dylan song about Elvis, and it evokes the journey I've been on since the Beatles took America by storm in 1964. My friends and I were so taken by the Beatles that we made up a fake-Beatles band with tennis racket guitars and lipsynced the songs to the neighbors at a nickel a pop! And I've been following the rock gypsy caravans ever since, from the British Invasion bands on AM transistor radios, to the psychedelic revolution on FM radio, to punk rock on the left of the dial, to alternative music on CDs, and all of it over again on digital!
Sun Nets
SUN NETS, Mark Fogarty's new book of poetry from White Chickens Press, contains about two dozen short poems, some rhymed, some not, all evocative, all catching light to illuminate things and situations. His fourth poetry book follows closely the themes of the first three: truth versus lies, the dark matter of the universe, the webs of a basketball cover, Nathaniel Hawthorne, the Clutter family of Kansas, the doomed and talented Minnie Riperton, and the great grandson of poet Joyce Kilmer. Believe it or not, some sense is made of this wide and various universe!
ALL THAT'S BEST OF TRUE AND RIGHT
ALL THAT'S BEST OF TRUE AND LIGHT Nick Johnson is in a familiar situation. He's been asked to be the temporary coach of a University of Monroe Metrics team. Only this time, it is the Golden Metrics, one of the school's Division III teams. Nick must adjust to life in the minor leagues of collegiate WBB, but he finds an extraordinary spirit and cast of characters in these unforgettable Golden Metrics. In addition to the new team there are appearances by other characters from the earlier novels, most notably Julia, Lady Dagger, now nearing the end of her storied WNBA career. Add in the Statue of Liberty, the Hall of the Amendments, a haunted old hotel, the gym they call the Bill, and the familiar patter of sneakered feet on hardwood floors and you will be back in the funny, bittersweet world of the All That's Best series of March Madness novels.
Phantom Engineer
Rock and roll poetry! PHANTOM ENGINEER is the creative reaction to fifty years of listening to music, playing music, recording music. The natural joyousness of rock is big in these pages, plus the sadness of remembering those who died young. Jimi Hendrix, Jaco Pastorius, Whitney Houston, Amy Winehouse, Lisa Lopes, Syd Barrett, Nick Drake and Nicky Hopkins are all remembered for talent (or genius) that bloomed young and died young. Meanwhile, the Phantom Engineer pulls the strings and makes the blues and the zydeco appear!
All That's Best of Stand and Fight
The sixth installment of the "All That's Best" novels about women's basketball finds Nick Johnson asked to take over a failing girls WBB team as his wife, Dee, prepares to take her Monroe Metrics to Spokane for the ACAA tournament. On Nick's team, the Liberty, you will meet his rebellious daughter Bit, Candy, who has to overcome her hardscrabble life to get on the path to a college athletic scholarship, Weather, whose mother W.A. Nick has also coached and Dream, a non-playing player. Dead last in the league, they manage to rise to seventh, a dreary record that is salvaged when the league decides all teams will play in the league tournament. Meanwhile Dee, back from Spokane, gets to work preparing for this year's Metrics Hall of Fame installation, which doesn't go exactly as planned. Get ready to laugh and cry as you read this final installment of the ALL THAT'S BEST series!
Reservation "Capitalism"
Native American peoples suffer from health, educational, infrastructure, and social deficiencies of the sort that most Americans who live outside tribal lands are wholly unaware of and would not tolerate. Indians are the poorest people in the United States, and their reservations are appallingly poverty-stricken; not surprisingly, they suffer from the numerous social pathologies that invariably accompany such economic conditions. Historically, most tribal communities were prosperous, composed of healthy, vibrant societies sustained over hundreds and in some instances perhaps even thousands of years. By creating sustainable economic development on reservations, however, gradual long-term chan...
Rutherford Red Wheelbarrow 7
For the seventh time the Red Wheelbarrow Poets have packaged lightning in a bottle. Following the example of William Carlos Williams, the celebrated poet-doctor of Rutherford, NJ, these awesome poets and writers are turning the epic into the local fully realized. They are a closely knit community that has participated in the RWP writing workshop, now in its seventh year, or RWP readings at the Williams Center and GainVille Cafe, both in Rutherford. And they kick some ass too!
