  Notes from a Shipwreck, the third collection of poetry by Jessica Mookherjee, is a richly detailed and illuminating voyage of dislocation and longing. By turns evocative, unsettling, and full of 'small acts of magic', Mookherjee simultaneously finds the past, present, and future in the tempestuous, lyrical tides that flow through her poems.
  Here, seafaring lore and shanties interweave with wreckage and survival, drawn by strong currents of history – where migration, colonialism, pandemics and climate change shape the course we are on. The sea is a territory of grief and transformation, alluring and dangerous, where safe harbours and landfall are not always certain. Mookherjee's enchanting, salt-sharp poetry encompasses the many journeys embarked on – whether seeking refuge, escape, or into exile – and consider not only the deep blue sea and its myriad mythologies, but to understand 'what makes a land and person,' – the keen human instinct to seek belonging.

  Tom Stodulka has loved to write for many years, though as a child he found this form of expression was a struggle. As the years progressed, through high school and law school, Stodulka gained an appreciation of language and how it could be used a s a tool for making a difference. His confidence grew enough to write diaries of his life in the Navy and eventually in 1976, on board the HMAS Duchess , he wrote his first poem, The World and the Future, which features in his first publication, Strom Clouds and Silver Linings; My Journey. 
  In this, his fifth publication, Tom continues to reflect, share his creative output and positively impact those with his work. Life is Love contains seventy brand new poems along with thirty of his previous works that his dedicated readers have requested be featured as special favourites. Also you will find reflections from fellow authors and Tom’s publisher on their experience of sharing special creative moments with him. 
  People often ask me what inspires me to write. The answer is simple; I love capturing the moment of a changing world and value incredibly the impact my writing has on my readers, whether it is my wife, family and friends, or complete strangers across the globe. A big thank you to you all.

  This is a tribute to the work of Emily Dickinson and Sara Teasdale, two of the greatest representatives of -female- American literature. 
  It is a carefully crafted selection of 150 poems, all of them 8 lines in length, which are presented face-to-face in pairs -one per author- and with matching themes. In this way, the reader can compare and enjoy the magic of these poets. 
  Emily Dickinson (1830 - 1886) is, without a doubt, one of the most renowned representatives of American Classic Poetry. Her poems and unique writing style, although largely unknown before her passing, have had a remarkable influence on American literature. 
  Sara Teasdale (1884 – 1933), on the other hand, was favored with success and recognition for her writing, having won the first edition of the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry. Nevertheless, in more recent times she hasn’t enjoyed nearly as much recognition as Dickinson. 
  The 150 Poems in this collection are distributed in four themes:Of Love, Heartbreak and FaithOf Mother NatureOf Life and EmotionsOf Death 
  This is a wonderful gift for all poetry lovers, also available in paperback, hardcover, and e-book formats.

  Poetry. Asian & Asian American Studies. Winner of the 2021 Off the Grid Poetry Prize. In MORE AMERICAN, poet Sharon Hashimoto reconstructs a collective memory, conjuring the voices of grandparents, children, soldiers, and "those left to tell." In moving detail, these poems convey the realities of assimilation, service, and internment as experienced by Japanese Americans during, and in the decades following, the Second World War. In this stunning second collection, Hashimoto reckons with the limitations of language, and by extension, notions of citizenship. She deftly sounds the dissonances in the language of loyalty and allegiance.
