Summary

Not your typical zombie story... Beta readers who don't like zombies loved this book! Just because zombies can kill you doesn’t mean they’re always ruining people’s lives. They just exist, the same way that people do and the same way that everything else does. The zombies have been around for so long that most people have learned how to live without being affected by them. Most of the time. So when a young woman, traveling with a man she hardly knows, is bitten on the foot, she’s faced with a difficult decision: Let the infection run its course and become a zombie herself, or let him amputate. After losing her parents and not knowing how to trust someone new, putting her life in the hands of a stranger seems to be the toughest situation she will ever be faced with. Turns out that was the easy part.

I Have Something To Say

Ian Hutchinson

The potential readership of this book is wide and varied. The book is humorous in places and in others, almost spiritual. It is written for those who have lost a spouse or other loved one, for those with a mum or dad, son or daughter, or grandchild. It is for those who have been to sea and understand this awesome place. It is for those who have thought about their own mortality and those who grieve. It is also for those who have thought about the deeper aspects of life, death, and the universe. The poems are diverse, powerful, intense and, at times, sensitive and intimate. It is hoped also that some will make you laugh as well as cry; they will certainly make you think. In short, this book is for you.

Born in the USA - Exploring...

Mark Twain, Ambrose Bierce,...

Poetry. A form of words that seems so elegantly simple in one verse and so cleverly complex in another. Each poet has a particular style, an individual and unique way with words and yet each of us seems to recognise the path and destination of where the verses lead, even if sometimes the full comprehension may be a little beyond us.

Through the centuries every culture has produced verse to symbolize and to describe everything from everyday life, natural wonders, the human condition and even in its more hubristic moments, the crushing triumph of an enemy.

In the volumes of this series we take a look through the prism of individual regions of the United States through the centuries and decades.

The United States may be many things: the world’s policeman, a bully, a shameless purveyor of mass market culture but it also, in its better moments, a standard bearer for truth, transparency, equality and the more positive qualities of democracy.

Little wonder that’s its poets are rightly acknowledged as wonders of their art. Leading lights in the fight against slavery and for equality, even if the rest of the Nation is finding it problematic to catch up.

In this volume we have collected verse from poets born in the Mid-West. This huge and mythic landscape that stretches from Chicago and the Great Lakes to the deserts of Texas contains a wealth of poets that could summon theme and words to describe and reveal both nature and humanity in sprawling yet intimate detail. Among their number are Ella Wheeler Wilcox, Paul Laurence Dunbar, Vachel Lindsay, Alice Corbin and Ambrose Bierce, brilliant wordsmiths one and all.

Libre

Skye Jackson

A soaring collection of poems that deftly explores the familial, personal, and societal relationships of a young Black woman trying to make her way in a fraught world. 
  
Freedom reverberates in Skye Jackson’s breathtaking debut, Libre, with evocative poems that are heart-wrenching, haunting, sensual, and tender. This collection explores the experiences of a young Black woman in New Orleans as she navigates the pull of familial and romantic relationships, celebrating the joys of Blackness, art, and friendship. Libre also includes Jackson’s award-winning poem “can we touch your hair?” which was hand selected by former US Poet Laureate Billy Collins for inclusion in the Library of Congress Poetry 180 Project. 
  
An acolyte of Sade and Stevie Nicks, Jackson muses on microaggressions, interracial relationships, and the endless intricacies of Black women’s hair as she rails against loss, random violence, and the dark expectations that society often places upon people of color. She roams each room of the heart, open and unafraid of what she might find behind every door. Through it all, this debut shines as the poetry refracts and reflects like a mirror leaving nothing unseen.

Open Mouths

Sharan Hunjan

In Open Mouths Sharan Hunjan presents a vision of a world simultaneously familiar and strikingly strange. The quotidian, the domestic, the commonplace are interrogated and manipulated through the poet's eye for detail, linguistic sense of play and restless imaginative and philosophical impulses. The shortcomings of language, the gulf between words and meaning, between experience and description, the space between translation, between places, between generations—these are the problems with which Hunjan grapples. Full of seemingly quiet, yet startlingly profound thought, razor-sharp wordplay, raw emotion and dazzling image and phrase-making, Open Mouths marks the emergence of another stellar talent from the 4 BROWN GIRLS WHO WRITE stable.
