A Passionate Engagement
Ken Harvey has recently completed a memoir ("A Passionate Engagement") about the same-sex battle in the United States that The Boston Sunday Globe hailed as "MOVING" and "POWERFUL." His collection of stories, "If You Were With Me Everything Would Be All Right," was the winner of the "Violet Quill Award" for best new gay fiction. It was also listed as "a book if note" by the Lambda Literary Review and was a #3 bestseller on the insideout.com book club. The book has been translated into Italian. Ken lives in Boston and Toronto.
Home & Away
In these poems, Miller drafts people, characters, images and events out of their familiar locations and contexts and weaves them into new situations, creating unexpected connections, original experiences. This new town is the locale of Miller's vital imagination.
A Taste
Poetry. This unusual and varied collection of poems shows the poet's artistry in several forms—lyrical, comical, contemplative, inquisitive, erotic, aphoristic, cynical, playful, negative, affirmative. A reader will be constantly awakened to a new way of expressing a mood or an idea. Throughout these separate journeys, however, one thing will stand out over and over: This is a highly imaginative and extremely intelligent poet. The poems match manner to matter. Life, up against the wall.

For My Father
Did I pluck my images from your skin? Is it your moon I write about, your voice that pours through my tongue that seeps into my skin like soil following the seam in a stone? Part memoir, part ghost story, For My Father by Amira Thoron, examines the territory of grief and memory, its mysteries and silences. Through poems that are at times lyrical and at times spare, she explores what it means to be haunted by what you cannot remember or never knew.

Beautiful Passing Lives
Poetry. Ed Harkness is very good at shining the poet's light on natural details and puts this to good use in poems that go outside his more familiar environs, such as looking at the English Channel: "The Channel looks benign,/a road of hammered silver. Unglamorous,/windswept, this beach is no Riviera./Here you feel the slap of the beyond." And, looking even farther: "the Dog Star, lifting its drowsy head,//guarding the dog house of heaven/with its one yellow eye." Harkness extends his range when addressing social issues: "but the horde of you—the majority—/have gone remote control,/ignorant of our sacrifices..." Ed Harkness does not squint when he looks at the world and we are rewarded with a full and multi-leveled world in these poems.
Time is the Fire
Time Is The Fire recounts a day in the existence of Leopold Bloom O Boyle, chronophobe, travel writer, would-be novelist, and husband of the Reverend Annabel Chance. The day is September 8, 1992, and the place is Harvard Square and environs. Like his namesake, Leo dips into and out of a stream of consciousness as he considers and reconsiders the most important decision of his life.
Dark Square
A riveting collection of poems ranging from the very personal and sexual to the broader lyric poem. Marcus demonstrates the versatility that has put some of these poems in such diverse publications as Poetry, Alimentum, Harvard Review, and Ploughshares.
Return to a Place Like Seeing
This remarkable debut collection should put poet John Palmer among the most intelligent and deeply moving poets of the time. He writes of nature and of place in a powerful voice rarely experienced. Don't open this book looking for easy, facile poems. But do open it, and read and reread it, if you are ready for a powerful and haunting experience.
