Poetry

Prose poems/flash fiction by Carlo Matos

Moonlit is a poetry compilation co-edited by Lisa Janssen and Claire McMahon. There are fourteen contributors to the collection.

"In this remarkable collection, Bonnie, Ilyse Tunick employs prose, poems, and photographs to celebrate the courage and achievements of "ordinary" women, who are, of course, extraordinary in their tenacity, their creativity, their sense of humor and their compassion for one another. Tunick knows what counts most in our lives, and she uses an exquisite eye for detail to remind us about what is valuable and universal in the female condition. This is a very funny, very wise, and very tender work of art, one that you will want to share with your friends and family, with your mother and with your best friend. In these pages, you will meet people you already know and love, and see them all with a fresh vision."

MAP OF THE HYDROGEN WORLD, Steve Halle's first collection of poems, shuns the divide between post-avant and Official Verse Culture poetics by embracing traditional forms while simultaneously developing new ways of working through poetry. From traditional lyric and narrative poems to formal experiments, Halle finds his own way through history, art, politics, faith and self. "Ginsbergian incantation, high modernist allusion, post-avant rhizome and the documentary collage--these are the weapons in Steve Halle's arsenal. Joyce, Eliot, Emerson, Whitman and Keats shoot through the static of text-messaging, global positioning systems, surveillance culture, and an urgent sense of the world's victims. Halle carries a humanistic heritage into an inhuman world. "--Robert Archambea
