  "Looking Good, Mary" is something my parrot used to say to me and when I was feeling low it gave me a real lift. This book of poems started as a collection of memoirs that I wrote for my children. It is a mixture of things that happen in everyday life - funny and sometimes sad. I am still amused as I read these as every one of them is a true story from my life.

  Crossing Continents of Seasons -...

  Crossing Continents of Seasons is a luminous collection of poems tracing one soul's passage from confinement to freedom, from silence to belonging, from loss to love. Through vivid imagery and quiet honesty, Amer Malas explores the borders we inherit and the ones we create—the emotional geographies of exile, memory, and renewal. 
  These poems move through childhood's small boxes, the ache of displacement, and the slow awakening of the heart. Blending spiritual reflection and lyrical storytelling, the book invites readers to walk beside the author through landscapes of shadow and light, where grief softens into understanding and stillness becomes home. 
  For those standing between worlds or learning to begin again, Crossing Continents of Seasons is both a mirror and a lantern—an offering of presence, healing, and hope.

  When Can We Be Soft? - Poems of...

  Bobbie Isabel

  In this debut poetry collection, Bobbie Isabel explores the pressure women face to constantly be strong, and the exploitation they endure when the world will not let them be soft. Employing a combination of free verse and more traditional forms, Bobbie expresses the female perspective of strength and resilience through pain, trauma, and ultimately hope. Within poetic expression, she has found her voice, as the poem "Keeping Silent" says, that speaks for the little girl she was, that comforts her tormented adolescent self, and that fortifies the broken woman she has been with boundaries of empathy and compassion for who she was at each stage and what she lived, understanding that her tears were not silent but rather screams of injustice. 
  This collection of poetry comes from a place of pain; even the poems of hope grew from those ashes. Therefore, there will be subjects some will find difficult to read.

  Revolving Door

  Quietly reflective, the beautifully written poems in this slim volume offer a welcome respite from the noisy insistence of modern life. The language, now simple and direct, now rich in associations, double-meanings, and imagery, has its own natural rhythm and appeal regardless of subject and rhyme. Intriguing, absorbing, thought-provoking, the poems are innovative and fresh and the intensity of the verses in places will undoubtedly strike a chord with readers of all kinds - both established readers of poetry, those who read poetry now and again, and those 
  turning to poetry for the first time. Largely relating one person's take on how it is to be in the world, the poems address such aspects of life as time, being, loss, culture, and contingency. The collection is divided into three sections - non-rhyming poems, rhyming poems, and a 
  concluding section of lighter, more humorous verses, with each of two additional poems serving as foreword and afterword.
