Blues and Beyond is Gerald Braude's first book of poems but will not be his last. A professional classical/jazz guitarist and short story author, Gerald's approach to poetry is both new and familiar. Sentences is Terry Persun's latest poetry collection and shows a different side to his work. These very stylized poems are unique in their structure and approach. They often read like disconnected images, but there is a focus to each poem that is larger than the sum of its lines.
