    In pursuit of his brother, a man traverses the fantastical and grotesque landscape of Hell, pondering their now fractured relationship. 
    The poems in Dustin Pearson’s A Season in Hell with Rimbaud form an allegorical travelogue that chronicles two brothers’ mutual descent into hell. When the older brother runs off by himself, the younger brother begins roaming Hell’s different landscapes in search of him. As he searches, the younger brother ruminates on their now fractured relationship: what brought them here? Can they find each other? Will their bonds ever be repaired? 
    In the tradition of Virgil, Dante, Milton, Swift, Shelley, Joyce, Sarte, and especially Arthur Rimbaud, Pearson leads his speakers on a speculative, epistolary journey through the nether realm inspired by Christian beliefs and tradition. Drawing on the works of French Symbolists and the literary traditions of the American South, A Season in Hell with Rimbaud guides readers through an intimate rendering of one brother’s journey to find his lost and estranged brother, perhaps recovering a part of himself in the process.

    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.

    The language of Poetry is an art that most of us attempt at some point in our lives.  Although its commonplace exposure has been somewhat marginalised in today’s often fast-paced lives we all recognise good verse that can empathise with our thoughts or open us up to experience new things in new ways, to better understand and to enjoy the many strands of our lives. 
    But finding a starting point can be overwhelming, even off-putting, so in this series we offer up our Top 10 classic poets, who brim with talent and verse, on a range of subjects and themes that we can all enjoy. 
    The Irish are known the world over as friendly and engaging talkers with a word here and a few words there to each and every soul they meet.  Their poets dazzle with talent and verse that few other nations dare compete with.  What follows demonstrates why.

    A collection and selection of poetry by Ohio-based poet, blogger, and flash fiction author Cat Russell, author of the short story and flash fiction collection The Optimist's Journal of the End of Days. This audiobook is read by the author. 
    Cat Russell does it again! Her latest poetry collection, Kaleidoscope, swirls and sways through a landscape of fact and fiction, experience and fantasy, while also providing a keen lens into life and living. It whirls the reader into wonder while remaining grounded, insightful and inquisitive. Peer into this volume’s eyepiece and let it take you for a spin. 
    -John Burroughs, U. S. Beat Poet Laureate (2022-2023) and author of Rattle and Numb 
    * 
    …Today I discovered/what a group of butterflies is called./ Their name is Kaleidoscope,/” 
    begins the final nine-line stanza of Cat Russell’s “Kaleidoscope,” a poem sharing her book’s title. Its final three lines read, “…the everchanging pattern/ a perfect fusion of shifting compliments:/ the envy of artists, flowers, and clear-blue skies./” Russell’s delightfully accessible homage to butterflies is an ideal invitation into her poignant collection of 86 poems. They entice readers to savor every sip of them in a single sitting. 
    There is something for every palate: from the humor in “Cheapskate Midlife Crisis” and “F-Bombs,” to the understated predatory horror in “Servings,” to the anticipatory excitement of a thunderstorm in “Foretaste.” 
    Kaleidoscope showcases a writer whose talent is boundless! Cat Russell’s poetry is both beguiling and intellectually intoxicating. You’ll undoubtedly mark her collection a favorite. 
    -Sandra Feen, 
    State of Ohio Beat Poet Laureate (2022-2024) 
      *Original hardcover edition of Kaleidoscope published by Venetian Spider Press.
