Sinopse

Winner of the Singapore Literature Prize (Poetry 2020) 
 
What do we expect of an author who is unapologetically female? What do we expect of consuming art in general? Should a work be easy, should a work be safe? 
 
Marylyn Tan’s debut volume, GAZE BACK, complicates ideas of femininity, queerness, and the occult. The feminine grotesque subverts the restrictions placed upon the feminine body to be attractive and its subjection to notions of the ideal. The occultic counterpoint to organised religion, then, becomes a way toward techniques of empowering the marginalised. 
 
GAZE BACK, ultimately, is an instruction book, a grimoire, a call to insurrection—to wrest power back from the social structures that serve to restrict, control and distribute it amongst those few privileged above the disenfranchised.

    "A Visit from St. Nicholas", routinely referred to as "The Night Before Christmas" and "Twas the Night Before Christmas" from its first line, is a poem first published anonymously under the title "Account of a Visit from St. Nicholas" in 1823. Authorship has been attributed to Clement Clarke Moore, who claimed authorship in 1837, but it has also been suggested that Henry Livingston Jr. may have written it. While the authorship may be questioned by some, the poem remains a favorite during the Christmas season and helps conjure up visions of sugarplums and secret gifts for children even to this day.

    Interracial families are more common than ever, yet their unique stories often remain untold. This transparent poetry collection offers a deeply personal glimpse into my journey—growing up in a predominantly single-race family, navigating the intricacies of interracial relationships, and raising biracial children. Through honest and unfiltered reflections, I delve into the joys, challenges, and struggles in building an interracial family, while also celebrating the love, cultural connection and sense of belonging that makes this journey meaningful. 
    What makes this audiobook truly special is the contribution of my daughter, Summer Renee Crowell, who courageously shares her perspective being a biracial child in a beautifully written chapter. There are a few collaborative poems woven throughout the collection adding even more depth and richness to this exploration of love and realities we experienced together. 
    Take a moment to step into our world. Listen, and discover our journey through diversity, resilience, and the beauty of growing together as one. 
    Look for all of Lisa Renee Hutchins books.

    "Into the rhubarb: headed off the road; to get into trouble; a brawl, argument, or squabble."In her fifth volume of poetry, Carla Coles once again brings us into her inimitable inner world. This time, along with her odes to the pleasures of coffee and cake and writing, she delves into the darker emotions of betrayal, endings, and coming through the fire with her sense of humour intact and her gift with words honed to a new level of insight."Whether the subject matter is painful, wonderful, chaotically confusing, or simply the inappropriating of her own kaleidoscopic inner culture, Carla's perfectly parsed insights are never anything less than a delight. And sometimes there's a sly lesson about how to be human in an inhuman world." ~ Bruce Barber,author of Jetsam: New and Collected Fictions******Carla dwells in the magical realm of Stratford, Ontario. She admits to being a little in love with her community. She is an award-winningmultidisciplinary artist, author, and entrepreneur. Her imaginary hobbies include ukulele enthusiast, time travel, and selfcare.This is her sixth book of poetry. Several of her books, much to Carla's surprise, were number one in Canadian poetry on Amazon for a brief time. Carla is a member of Stratford’s Art in the Park.Carla, by her own accounts, is not a believable character. She has an unnatural fondness for pudding and always carries acake fork with her in case of just such emergencies. Queries on whether she wants another coffee are always answered with anenthusiastic yes. Carla likes to think she is hilarious … Carla's friends have said they think it's endearing that she finds herselfhilarious.

    From Shade to Shine - New Poems

    This collection of poems begins in the growing darkness of November, stretches through Advent and the seasons leading to Easter and to Pentecost, and ends in the budding light of the Scottish Orkney Islands, where the canonical hours measure time over centuries and where God broods over an austere and beautiful landscape. The measurement of time passing and returning, year after year, in the rhythms of the seasons and of the liturgical year, create the pace and the song. But in the biblical voices of Magdalene, Mary, Abel, and Eve, and in the grim historical and political realities of war and suffering, one also hears lament and finds the poet' s clear-eyed gaze straight into life' s challenges. Memory is at work here, too, in personal reminiscences and in theological reflection. As one philosopher has said, " All truth is God' s truth."
    
    
    From Shade to Shine is published under Paraclete Press's Iron Pen imprint. In the book of Job, a suffering man pours out his anguish to his Maker. From the depths of his pain, he reveals a trust in God's goodness that is stronger than his despair, giving humanity some of the most beautiful and poetic verses of all time. Paraclete's Iron Pen imprint is inspired by this spirit of unvarnished honesty and tenacious hope.
