What She Was Wearing
How long can you keep a dark secret before you become completely unraveled? In What She Was Wearing, Shawn Aveningo Sanders uses poetry, prose, and letters to tell her #MeToo story--one that has taken over 30 years to reveal. In this collection, Shawn shares her nightmare of being raped at a fraternity toga party, and examines the event from a variety of perspectives, including poems written from the viewpoint of her attackers; the toga she was wearing; homecoming years later; and even the moment she told her college-aged children. As Shawn's story unfolds, the reader will come to understand how significant the aftermath of rape can be. For decades, she was "triggered" in the most unexpected...
Not Very Quiet
Over the last five years, from the #Me Too Movement to same-sex marriage, from devastating bush fires to the global pandemic, the online poetry journal Not Very Quiet has dedicated itself to publishing women's voices from across the globe. Not Very Quiet: The anthology selects poetry that has given voice to the social conscience of the community, constructions of lesbian and queer, the challenges posed to the social construction of gender, as well as the complexities and possibilities of the human condition.
Songs of an Indomitable Spirit
Songs of an Indomitable Spirit is the follow-up to Carroll's 2019 chapbook, The Dichotomy Between Light & Dark. This beautiful, full-length collection is a testament to Carroll's enduring strength and tenacity, consisting of 31 pieces that explore the peaks and valleys of his life, leaving no topic deemed "taboo." Songs examines various social and personal relationships forged throughout Carroll's life, using a musical cadence and the rhythm of sound to deliver a powerful collection that explores themes, such as nostalgia, social injustice, strife, sexuality, love, faith and renewed hope. The common thread throughout is emotional intelligence. How much can one ultimately endure? How does one navigate the challenges of interpersonal relationships? And most importantly, how does one respond to life's staggering melodies? These are the Songs of an Indomitable Spirit.
Of Course I'm a Feminist!
"A small group of feminist poets, ranging in age from 15-73, explore what it means to be a woman in the 21st century. Paying homage to the women who paved the path toward freedom and equality, the poets in this collection share their voices as mothers, daughters, survivors, fighters, workers and leaders. These poems come from sometimes hidden, innate human truths. Each poem provides a means to which women can express their rage, frustration and grief, all the while finding the humor, joy and celebration in what unites us all."--Provided by publisher.
Bayna Bayna
Using the Arabic words bayna bayna as a nod to her Palestinian Arab heritage, Zeina Azzam's poetry reflects on the feeling of being in-between home and exile, childhood and adulthood, wholeness and loss, and living and dying. Her poems express a bicultural and bilingual view of the world which is at once enriching, bewildering, and beautiful.
Wait a Minute, I Have to Take Off My Bra
Wait a Minute, I Have to Take Off My Bra is an anthology celebrating the most female of body parts, the breasts. From light-hearted memories of the first buds of puberty to heart wrenching accounts of breast cancer, these stories and poems run the gamut of experiences and emotions. A portion of all profits will be donated to the Breast Cancer Society of Canada.
Falling Into the River
"How many close calls before we become ghosts?" wonders the author of this collection, where she reflects upon her experiences--emotional, relational and spiritual--during her partner's yearlong battle with a life-threatening illness. Threaded throughout these poems is the presence of the natural world--always a source of solace, but now more acutely and deeply felt. Early Praise: "This collection is a celebration of life and love--a testament to treasure." --Lin Nelson Benedek, When a Peacock Speaks to You in a Dream "Faced with a somber 'unexpected detour, ' Debbie Hall has forged poetry that is deeply attentive and hopeful." --Rebecca Patrascu, Before Noon "These are poems with spines. 'Words you can barely form / with your own mouth, / vocabulary that you must now / make your own.' Hall is gifted with a language that is rich in observation and conveys it with profound courage and tenderness." --Sam Roxas-Chua, Saying Your Name Three Times Underwater "Language formed from ache, perseverance and enlightenment." --Jeff Walt, Leave Smoke

The Screaming Silence
Silence can be as sweet as the most beautiful symphony. Or it can be a scream--so terrifying it will keep you up all night trying to get it out of your head. Loss has followed Lanser Howard his whole life, clinging to him like a wet coat. And during such times, it is the silence that always seems to speak the loudest. It screams truth, and anyone who has gone through deep, dark pain knows this. Too often, this screaming silence feels inescapable--like you can never turn it off--and can make you feel like you're losing your mind. You will do anything to block out the noise of The Screaming Silence. In his first full-length poetry collection, Lanser Howard examines loss, the most bare-bones of human emotion. He takes readers on a merciless journey through the depths of agony and grief--through The Screaming Silence--and then into the light of hope. Hope to have the courage to fight on.
Beauty of Cannabis
Beauty of Cannabis is a visual journey into the spectacular marijuana strains being grown in the 21st Century. Award-winning photographer Spurs Broken takes us as deep as the lens will allow by directing light into the valleys between the leaves and through fissures full of crystal trichomes to reveal the beautiful strands, strings, and balls of earthly delight. Readers will learn to direct light inside each bud so it can reflect off the crystals to reveal beautiful colors and will discover the rewards of alternating the depth of field by a few microns to find the deep-orange pistils and the saturated brilliance that manifests from the contrast when a shot is done just right. Cannabis connoisseurs will delight in intimate views of what they’re smoking, as Spurs’ signature style of macro-photography reveals the makeup of each plant’s personality and characteristics of the individual strains in all their glory.
