  THE MALEVOLENT VOLUME EXPLORES THE MYTHS AND TRANSFORMATIONS OF BLACK BEING, ON A CONTINUUM BETWEEN THE MONSTROUS AND THE SUBLIME. 
    
  Subverting celebrated classics of poetry and mythology and examining horrors from contemporary film and cultural fact, National Book Award winner Justin Phillip Reed engages darkness as an aesthetic to conjure the revenant animus that lurks beneath the exploited civilities of marginalized people. In these poems, Reed finds agency in the other-than-human identities assigned to those assaulted by savageries of the state. In doing so, he summons a retaliatory, counter-violent Black spirit to revolt and to inhabit the revolting. 
    
  “Reed blends intersectional politics and bodily hunger in precise, thorny language.”—New York Times

  Experience the raw and unfiltered journey of Imé Corkery as she fearlessly confronts the harsh realities of a rare and agonizing chronic illness in her breathtaking debut collection, Persephone's Pancreas. In this remarkable memoir of creative nonfiction, Imé takes you on an unforgettable odyssey that traverses the chasm between illness and earthly delights. From Netflix binges to the warmth of oxytocin, and from the intimacy of hospital date nights to the touch of the divine, this is a story that will capture your heart and soul. Imé Corkery's brave narrative not only explores the trials and tribulations of living with Sphincter of Oddi Dysfunction (SOD), a rare and excruciating chronic illness, but also delves deep into the essence of love, both human and mythological. As you embark on this medical journey alongside our resilient heroine, you'll witness the escalating trials, the strengthening of drugs, and the profound descent into a world of myth. Persephone's Pancreas is a profound exploration of love, pain, and the intricate dance between the two. If you've ever experienced the rawness of human emotions, this poetic masterpiece is a must-read, offering solace and inspiration to all who seek the light in the darkest of times. 
  Harrowing, sharp-witted, tender, raw and necessary, this is an indelible account from a poet with the sheer nerve to keep testifying, even when ‘pain is at its zenith.’ Persephone’s Pancreas is a collection from a writer who deserves the title heroine. - Tracey Slaughter  
  Persephone's Pancreas draws us skin to skin with chronic pain...sensory detail, myth and the everyday, to find the things needed to survive the liminal and lost zones of a long ‘sick girl summer.’- Aimee-Jane Anderson-O’Connor

  This poetry book is for those who are going through major life changes and challenges.

  And come into birth 
  To help recreate 
  Life on Earth 
  Show the people

  By breaking the ties 
  To their mortal tethers 
  You will come to know 
  What is really true 
  When you can see the light 
  That lies within you 
  This channeled poetry book was inspired by the loss of my dad, facing death, and moving through the fires of transformation. 
  If it’s time to step into who you came here to be, allow Shiva The Fire Of Transformation to activate your sacred fire!
