  A Bigfoot Bestiary and Other Wonders is a compendium of natural and unnatural astonishment, anatomizing all those big, hairy monsters that haunt the human condition. Follow their footprints through these pages, and Martin Achatz may just make you a believer in the greatest mystery of all: Love with a capital "L". 
  "Martin Achatz knows what it is to be big and hairy and to express the animal inside us. To paraphrase the Zen koan, live as if you were already Bigfoot. If Iowa Poet Laureate Marvin Bell has his Dead Man poems, Michigan's Achatz has rendered poetical the great ape of the Northwoods, and he eloquently and determinedly immerses us in the dream, meanwhile paying homage to Robert Frost, Pablo Neruda, Wallace Stevens, Flannery O'Connor, and all the other wonderful monsters." --Bonnie Jo Campbell, author of The Waters and American Salvage 
  "Martin Achatz reimagines the legendary Bigfoot in his newest book, a funny and moving collection of poems that is playfully serious. Achatz melds cryptozoologic wonder with the heartrending stuff of the everyday world ... a fierce Sasquatch howl that illuminates and reveals the fragile state of our collective humanity." --W. Todd Kaneko, author of This Is How the Bone Sings 
  "I believe Martin Achatz intended these pages to impart joy (and other wonders) to those who read with an open paintbox at the ready, its colors so pure they demand that monster landscapes be captured and dimensioned within the nether worlds of dreams and the genius of second readings. A 5-star book without doubt." -- Sue Harrison, international bestselling author of The Midwife's Touch 
  Author of The Mysteries of the Rosary and a former U.P. Poet Laureate, Martin Achatz lives in Ishpeming, Michigan with his family. In his spare time, he chases comets and Bigfoot.

  Written under the pseudonym "Carolus", Lyrics & Lines is a book of poems written, probably circa 1890 - 1900, as a gift to one he had loved and lost.Love, Humour,  Moralisation and the Macabre all come together in a most readable and enjoyable manner. Who he was, when and exactly where he lived and his age at the time he wrote this book  are unknown. That he was a modest man can be gleaned from his description of himself as "...a poetaster". Beautifully written; these poems should not only appeal to lovers of poetry but to those who would never normally consider reading verse.

  Caleb Leow's The Hoarders was a winner of the 2023 New Poets' Prize.
  'The Hoarders resounds with a subtle and unsettling music which creates its own complex, multilingual logic, even as Leow brings an attentive eye and an inquisitive wit to bear on a wide range of themes both personal and political. These are vivid and evocative poems which bear re-reading, and Leow is clearly a talent to watch.' - Mary Jean Chan

  'What happened then, some would say, was almost magic.'
  Disregarded and disobedient, ten-year-old Mary Lennox is sent from India to Yorkshire, and put into the care of an uncle she has never met.
  At Misselthwaite Manor, a brokenhearted house full of secrets and strange noises, Mary discovers a garden as lost and neglected as she is. If she can learn to make friends with robins, grumpy gardeners and a boy who speaks to animals, Mary might be able to bring more than just the garden back to life…
  The Secret Garden, Frances Hodgson Burnett's tale about the magic of nature and the nature of magic, has been a beloved and quietly radical classic of children's literature since its publication in 1911. Holly Robinson and Anna Himali Howard's thrillingly adventurous adaptation was first performed at Regent's Park Open Air Theatre, London, in 2024.
