The Other Woman - A Memoir in...
Rosebud Alford Turner
The book chronicles, in poetic form, the life of a woman who in three distinct and significant life events feels she is “the other woman” to her husband, to her child, and even to herself rather than the woman who is “good enough” just as she is. Not until she loses her eyesight does she finally allow herself to stop putting herself aside and be who she always has been…a strong, insightful, creative, resilient, faith driven, funny, and fun-loving woman; a Resurrected Woman! Additionally, this beautifully written and beautifully designed memoir allows the reader to find connections in some of the poems through Personal Reflection opportunities if desired. Rosebud spent all of her younger years, from birth to undergraduate school in Florida. Since then she has resided in Charlotte, North Carolina where she and her husband raised three children and established enriching careers.Due to diabetic issues in her mid-50’s, Rosebud permanently lost her sight, but did not lose her will and determination to continue her zest for living. Rosebud has said many times, “God has given me several talents and gifts, and blindness will not restrict me from using them.” As proof of this belief, Rosebud Turner wrote her first and second children’s books “Through Talen’s Eyes” as well as her memoir “The Other Woman” after sight loss.

Amoja Sumler
"In Fables, Foibles, & Other 'Merican Sins, Amoja Sumler displays, with educated, experiential enlightenment and powerfully poignant precision, his calling as Southern 'street' scholar. Colorfully referencing both his own personal experiences as well as those of folks he knows/ knew, along with an arsenal of language and historical and political knowledge, he draws the reader in to his bold and unmasking commentary on a Black American experience in a way that if you know, you know, and if you don't, you will definitely be more than curious to explore."--Sha'Condria Sibley, author of My Name Is Pronounced Holy and two-time National Poetry Slam champion

Get Well Soon - Poems
Jamie Sharpe
In the spring of 2020, Jamie Sharpe was in New Brunswick, purportedly studying the famed Magnetic Hill outside Moncton. A dog-walker discovered Sharpe in a ditch, disrobed except for his backpack containing a manuscript … With his fifth collection, Get Well Soon, Sharpe reaffirms “he is utter master of his language. Whether [Sharpe’s] poems are the result of long lucubration or the inspiration of the moment, they bear no mark of effort, and it is not without admiration, nor even without astonishment, that one is carried along — by the noble, unswerving amble of those gorgeous stanzas, proud white hackneys harnessed in gold — into the glory of the evenings. Rich and subtle, [Jamie Sharpe]’s poetry is never merely lyrical; it always encloses an idea within the garland of its metaphors, and however vague or general that idea may be, it serves to strengthen the necklace; the pearls are secured by a thread that, though sometimes invisible, is ever sure.”
