Flower Power
Literary Nonfiction. Art. FLOWER POWER is a collaboration between AC Books and Foxy Production, NYC. It documents the poet Paul Maziar's studio visit with the artist Srijon Chowdhury during the COVID pandemic and the unforgettable connection that emerged from their conversation. The two connect about the power of symbols and the elusive nature of meaning in art, the fragility of life and the natural world. "Flowers, nature will always come back," Chowdhury says, "no matter what happens."
What It Is

Ceremony for the Choking Ghost
After losing her sister to heart failure, Karen Finneyfrock was unable to write poems for three years. Her voice came back, whispering at first, then screaming. Ceremony for the Choking Ghost contains the sound of that voice returning, bringing poems about grief and its effect on the body, the body politic, memory and, of course, poems about love. From the intensely personal, “How My Family Grieved,” to the political, “What Lot’s Wife Would Have Said (If She Wasn’t a Pillar of Salt),” Finneyfrock engages the reader with the chiseled images of a precise storyteller. Finneyfrock writes poetry with muscular verve and narrative push. The depth and breadth suggested in just a few poli...
City of Insomnia
City of Insomnia is a book about being lost and what you find when you’re lost. Poetry that explores the landscapes of California, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts, Infante transforms city streets, love, America’s fractured politics, and his father’s death, unearthing questions about love and loss for which there are no good answers, but near endless emotional terrain to explore.
Animal Ballistics
Sarah Morgan’s newest release of poetry, Animal Ballistics, is dark and charmingly bizarre. This book has a bone for every body - the regret hounds, the lake sympathizers, the lost who embrace their wilderness. Morgan explores the haunting and dream-like sensory of recalling, navigating the long corridors of loss, the four walls of self and the hilarity of the missing roof. Animal Ballistics digs at the root of survival, thoughtfully and comparatively holding it against the definition of “living.” Animal Ballistics destroys what proof you have about survival... Sarah Morgan’s words make one feel as if they should begin to live and love with an originality - a new species of the spirit. -Danny Sherrard “Cast Your Eyes Like Riverstones into the Exquisite Dark"
Pole Dancing to Gospel Hymns
Four-time Denver Grand Champion, Pushcart Prize nominee, and winner of the 2008 Women of the World Poetry Slam, Andrea Gibson’s dynamic and energetic first book, Pole Dancing to Gospel Hymns, challenges us to not only read, but to react. Hauntingly vivid, the poems march through a soldier's lingering psychological wounds, tackle the curious questions of school children on the meaning of "hate", and tangle with a lover's witty and vibrant description of longing. Gibson's poems deconstruct the current political climate through stunning imagery and careful crafting. With the same velocity, the poignant and vacillating love poems sweep the air out of the room. It’s word-induced hypoxia. Pole Dancing to Gospel Hymns whispers with a bold and unforgettable internal voice rich with the kind of questioning that inspires action.
Everything is Everything
In her fifth collection of poetry, Cristin O'Keefe Aptowicz polishes her obsessions until they gleam. Whether she is exhuming the bizarre ("Cryptozoology" and "A Short History of Unusual Fish"), exorcising her demons, ("Hog Butcher of Workshop Table" and "On Why I Shouldn't Read Books") or celebrating the uncelebrated oddballs of the world ("Little Heard True Stories of Benjamin Franklin" and "Crack Squirrels"), Aptowicz's poetry sings and singes. Everything is Everything illuminates the dark corners of the curiosity cabinet, shining the light on everything that is utterly strange, wonderfully absurd and 100% true.
Uncontrolled Experiments in Freedom
"Brian Ellis' poems make me want to set fire to my house and run out of the flaming door, through the streets, the fields, up the buildings and across the moon."--Anis Mojgani, author "...every turn and sudden stop is a satisfying lurch in the direction of growing up."-- Simone Beaubien, The Boston Poetry Slam His words shiver, babble, rant and constantly threaten to fall apart under the weight of their own gravity. Ellis' colorful voice is a strong addition to the Boston spoken word tradition. A second-hand microscope examining the fuzzy science of survival, Uncontrolled Experiments in Freedom is a manic and shimmering author at his creative zenith. Filled with tangentially familiar characters--family misremembered, or friends still to be met--all delivered with deft eloquence, frank eye for unlikely detail, and inescapable sense of punk nostalgia.
