  Psalms and Odes of Solomon

  One of the Pseudepigrapha, the Psalms of Solomon is a group of eighteen psalms (religious songs or poems) that are not part of any scriptural canon (they are, however, found in copies of the Peshitta). The Psalms of Solomon were referenced in Early Christian writings, but lost to modern scholars until a Greek manuscript was rediscovered in the 17th century. Politically, the Psalms of Solomon are anti-Maccabee, and some psalms in the collection show a clear awareness of the Roman conquest of Jerusalem under Pompey in 63 BCE, metaphorically treating him as a dragon who had been sent by God to punish the Maccabees.The Odes of Solomon is a collection of 42 odes attributed to Solomon. Various scholars have dated the composition of these religious poems to anywhere in the range of the first three centuries AD. The original language of the Odes is thought to have been either Greek or Syriac, and to be generally Christian in background. (Summary by Wikipedia)

  The Other Side of Nowhere

  The Other Side of Nowhere is a radical, psychedelic journal of the end- times, whose poems portray a world of intransigence, a world where the safety of words like place or home have started to unravel. This pamphlet finds the author of The Promised Land: Poems from Itinerant Life (Penguin, 2017) exploring the American West, from forgotten gold rush towns in Arizona to the lives of historical figures from the Golden State's xenophobic history, allowing Naffis-Sahely to turn his wry worldly gaze on some of our era's most pressing subjects.
