Praise for "FUEGO"

"Fuego" full of fire, of the passionate intensity of creation in the face of great odds the intensity of difficult pregnancies and childbirth and all-consuming motherhood, of the immigrant student who struggles to write his first sentences in English, the child who falls from her bike and gets up again and again, the long-distance swimmer trying to swim to Antarctica, all of them stand-ins, I think, for the artist who struggles to make something meaningful from language in the midst of life, which is to say in the midst of death. This Leslie Contreras Schwartz has...

When the cutie-pie was opened, the birds began to sing, and what they sang was glittery and savage and fearless and dangerous--be careful with this book.

--Catherine Wagner, author of Nervous Device

The fanged fairy of Emily Corwin's forest-mud-stained collection asserts and sings with short rhymes and glitter-spells, and just as you've followed her into the deepest and darkest part of the woods, terrified, you're asked to run away together / and promise to never / do this heart-skipping thing / with anyone else.

Sonnets from My Soul is a collection of inspirational poems by Michelle Taylor-Jones, who has been writing in secret for decades.

In this first edition, titled At Peace, Michelle shares some of her favorite sonnets on the subjects of courage, love, purpose, and faith, with the hope that readers will find enjoyment and healing in her reflections as she has over the years.

In The Borrowed World, Emily Leithauser transforms keenly felt experience and bittersweet memories into poems of impressive craftsmanship. She deftly muses on the dichotomies of, among other things, childhood and growing up, the headiness of love gained and the pangs of love lost, the joys of the nuclear family and the trials when it gets broken up.
