  Don't Forget to Flush is John Eaton's second collection of humorous verse. It is an eclectic collection of poems that will make you laugh, ponder, and perhaps rethink your worldview - all from the comfort of the "small room".   
   
  Eaton sees the world through a unique lens. His work spans topics far and wide: the quirks of human nature, the wonders of the natural world, the nuances of politics, and the intricacies of relationships. You'll enjoy his mischievous pen as he skewers pretension, roots for the underdog, and manages to take on current events with a wink and a nod.  
   
  This latest collection includes 116 amusing and creative poems.  Examples include:  
   
  Billly and Benny (the Flowerpot Men-ny), a tribute to terracotta friends; 
   
  Jackboot and Jillboot - lighthearted odes to his-and-hers' footwear; 
   
  The collection also tackles national news with cheeky humour.  
   
  "Barnard Castle is the place to be, 
  A pleasant journey for my family 
  Where I can quarantine flexibly 
  To test my eyesight specifically." 
  (continued).' 
   
  And things that are neither here or there ... 
   
  "I went to a rendezvous to see Ron Devue. 
  I thought I had deja vu but jamais vu."

  Heavy Is the Head

  Sumaya Enyegue

  "Where does all the grief go when it's not tugging at your wrist?" Enyegue's debut collection is an ode to girlhood, to Blackness, to generational trauma, sexual assault, and mental health. 
   
  This collection does not aim to heal anyone who reads it, but instead help them confront their own healing. Rather than sugar-coated bullets that enter you lightly, these poems are designed to hurt.  
   
  They are for the girls with difficult names, the boys with softness at their core, and the people with neither. They are meant for the people who are Black, and the people who are not—because we are all tethered together by the heaviness of the human experience.

  Travel in time - a life story in...

  Written to make you smile, dream, cry, and shudder by the magic of love.  
  Travel in Time, A Life Story in Poems is for you, as a reader, an experience of a new world; a world where fantasy and reality have created distinct imageries and memorable moments. It is the story of a young girl and her profound and painful love, the story of her loneliness, of her travels across the world. The magic of her discoveries is captivating. It is the voice of justice and injustice that she will encounter in the beginning of her travels; it is the harshness of life where she will grow and mature. There are distinct and profound moments in the process of growing, such as the challenges of immigration, the consolation she will find in nature or by wandering with her mind across the universe. Until one day, when she will understand that life could be everything: an adventure, a dream, an illusion or endless love. Although her story is apart, the search for an unreachable love is popular and resonates with the destiny of many women around the world.  
  There is also the spirit of various cultures that flickers through the verses. The vivid imageries of Transylvania, the almost audible song of a lonely shepherd or the howling wolves in the moonlight may shutter and delight the reader’s spirit. Or, there might be the imageries from native Australia that may stir and reinvigorate your emotions. The combination of diverse cultures, of real events wrapped into a poetical form, may contribute, among other aspects, to the distinct spirit of the story.  
  Feasibly, during the journey you might also giggle or shudder by seeing the ghost of your own love story.

  After Amen - 50 Days of Poetry...

  Tyler Staton

  Read by the author and Yinka Dawson. 
  Explore the remarkable reality of God’s beauty 
  Teach me again the stillness from which movement finds its meaning, 
  The stillness from which movement is beauty, 
  The stillness that rouses the slumbering imagination. 
  —from “Be Still” 
  After his shocking advanced-stage cancer diagnosis, pastor and author Tyler Staton found himself cast into a wilderness of emotion. Amid the struggle he found strength in the familiar solaces of prayer, soli­tude, and Scripture, but also through an unexpected source: writing carefully crafted poetry as a practice of prayer, like the biblical psalm­ists. Even after Tyler went into remission, this practice awakened in him a new appreciation for how God uses beauty and the ordinary to draw us to himself. 
  After Amen refocuses our attention on the role of wonder in the Christian life, presenting 50 devotional entries that feature biblical reflection, heartfelt prayer, and original poetry from Tyler. Through focusing on Jesus’s seven signs in the gospel of John, Tyler shows how all of life is an invitation to be formed into the image of Jesus. This exceptional book is a provocative and beautiful exploration of the way prayer reshapes us long after “amen.”
