Soho
'But tonight I am super-charged, alive, looking into the eyes of / men . . .' In this intimate and vital debut, Richard Scott looks into the places not everyone sees or chooses to see. Against the backdrop of London's Soho, he creates an uncompromising portrait of love and shame, questioning our sense of the permissible and the perverse. Scott takes us back to our roots: childhood incidents, the violence our scars betray, forgotten forebears and histories. The hungers of sexual encounters are underscored by the risks that threaten when we give ourselves to or accept another. But the poems celebrate joy and tenderness, too, as in a sequence re-imagining the love poetry of Verlaine. The collection crescendos to the title-poem, 'Soho!', where a night stroll under the street lamps becomes a search for 'true lineage', a reclamation of stolen ancestors, hope for healing, and, above all, the finding of our truest selves.

We're Doomed!
Award-winning humor writer Scott Erickson turns his attention to the most humorous issue of our time: Humanity's impending self-destruction! Perhaps you've wondered whether there's a single root cause of our impending social-economic-environmental collapse. Guess what? There is! The common cause is: Humanity is at war against life. To examine this bold claim, Erickson spends a bit of time exploring the phenomenon of life. If we're at war with it, shouldn't we know what it is we're at war with? Also, it would probably be a good idea to know what life is, in case if we ever got the crazy idea to live in harmony with it or something like that.

All In
No longer an unassuming freshman, Harper Whitmore begins her sophomore year of high school as the well-known girlfriend of former varsity basketball star Scott Pierce. While the gossip and rumors from the previous year have continued, Harper finds herself much better equipped to handle them. The confidence and conceitedness that Scott so effortlessly displayed seem to rub off on Harper, but has his selfishness also? With Scott now a freshman in college, Harper finds herself much more alone as she faces the challenges of high school life. Forces both within and outside her control are acting in ways that could have life-changing implications, and how she chooses to face them will either push Harper and Scott closer together or drive them irrevocably apart. A story about love, life, tragedy, and forgiveness, All In takes the reader on a roller coaster ride of emotions. Following along with Harper on her journey is both exhilarating and infuriating, but it is a journey worth taking; her quest for love and happiness is universal, but it can feel all too personal.
