    Dear Universe … can you hear me? 
 
If Pierra Calasanz-Labrador’s debut poetry collection The Heartbreak Diaries was equivalent to an “ugly cry,” this second volume is an introspective journey, a quiet voice longing to be heard. Like stumbling upon an introvert’s secret diary, these fifty poems chronicle fervent wishes, hidden fears, and everyday acts of bravery that may sound uncannily familiar. 
Whether you are searching for a soul mate, battling self-doubt, clearing out skeletons in your heart, or trying to chart your own course in an increasingly judgmental world, Dear Universe is an astute, empowering reminder that you are not alone.

    A lyrical wilderness of power, wealth, leisure and desire, the poems of Country Club freewheel across state lines with panache and flagrant feeling. In this bold debut from Andy McGuire, all passions – even unpleasant ones – stare down the barrel of a world in which freedom is the fifty-first state, and love is the eleventh province.

 
The manatee wades out of the water and roars at the sightseersThat one of them owes him a drink.From the beach below the boardwalk, cock-a-doodle-do!What about a Christmas bowlcut over by the mangrove manatees!Because in Florida there are FloridiansAnd they are born Floridians at large.Every motionCan’t stop its own ocean.The oceans' motions make mistakes.Some of the dying are unspeakableIn their thinness, poorly disguised meat mannequins.The mosquitoes are so bigThey bleed you like a pig.Being eaten alive is an acquired taste.
