A Dream of Isis
by Carole Barley

Published in respected e and print magazines such as New York's 'Skyline Magazine' 'Stirring', 'Suero' and 'The Critical Poet', Carole's poetry has been described as 'lush and often very sensual, with a style and grace that leaves a richness, like a fine, full flavour on the tongue of the mind'. A Dream of Isis is a voyage to many places, both physical and spiritual; taking inspiration from her native Yorkshire to far flung shores revisited in dream and memory.

May Dazed
by Cinquain Poets

This cinquain sequence of two hundred and twelve poems, May Dazed, was written during May 2005 as a collaborative work by fourteen poets of the CinquainPoets online writing group. The sequence, in which each cinquain begins with the last line of the preceding cinquain, goes through several discernible movements as it proceeds. The final cinquain ends with a line identical to the first line of the sequence. May Dazed is an extraordinary work in this great American poetic form. CinquainPoets brings together poets interested in the American Cinquain form, as developed by the Imagist poet, Adelaide Crapsey. CinquainPoets online writing group: Andrea Da Costa, Cindy Tebo, Cris Staubach, Denis M. Garrison, Deborah P. Kolodji, Gary Blankenship, Hortensia Anderson, John Daleiden, Karina Klesko, Kate Steere, Linda M. Papanicolaou, Michael L. Evans, Sprite, and Toni J. Layton.

Learning To Talk Again
by Jim Doss

Learning to Talk Again by Jim Doss touches upon the poet's memories of growing up in Central Virginia as well as time spent in Maryland and Arizona. The poetry in this book is rich, lyrical and full-bodied, covering themes of family, place, love and war with many poems of tribute contained between its pages...... "A powerful, multi-layered, richly lived and beautifully imagined book of poems--as good as any first book of poems I've read and far better than most. I will continue to reread it many times in eager anticipation of other work yet to come." Sandford Lyne

Hidden River
by Denis Garrison

Denis Garrison would easily be recognized for the outdoorsman that he is by his haiku. Words and phrases such as: “hidden river, plowed field, leafing orchards, hunger moon, old tin cup, rabbit spoor, river stones, bridle paths, spring-fed creek, woodpecker’s vibrato, fragrant hay bales, sparrow tracks in fresh snow, field of ripe pumpkins, scorched dirt, cowpies, frog song and fireflies, woodcutter’s cabin” and so forth, appear throughout his book. Denis skillfully gives readers a strong but pleasant taste of nature in this fine presentation via the many outstanding haiku found around every bend of his “Hidden River.” —an’ya, Editor of TSA Ribbons and moonset journal

A Chaos of Angels
edited by Lois P. Jones (Emusing) and Alice Pero

"There is No Gene for the Human Spirit." (Gattaca 1997). In a culture where biochemistry has become its own religion, spirituality is quietly being replaced by serotonin manipulation. Doctors, housewives, professors, write candid poems about life on and off meds. Works are contrasted with poems of the spirit--brilliant pronouncements of the deeper powers within. We hope this book will help raise awareness about the true nature of man and the importance of the spirit as a source of healing.

Death settled well
by S. Thomas Summers

“Summers' use of language is imaginative and his metaphors often powerful. Critics have called him a poet with range, focus, and brutal honesty. Poetry editors must agree with that assessment because his work has appeared in many journals. Summers writes of death and loss. That he does it with humor and clear-eyed compassion is a tribute to his skill as poet. This chapbook is exceptional and highly recommended." - Laurel Johnson, Midwest Book Review
