A Lark Up The Nose Of Time, Wayne F. Burke's fourth full length book of poetry, extends from the poet's childhood to present circumstances with accessible and viscerally inclined poems, whimsical and serious by turns...Let the rhythmic language take you on a trip through a harsh poetically-rendered landscape, earthy as well as highly imaginative. "Not only the most original and authentic collection of poems I've read in years, it's one of the best books period. I loved every poem. Some are both as funny and as tragic as could ever be imagined. These poems come from a life-time of real experience in the REAL world, and straight from the heart. A masterpiece!" Howard Frank Mosher, author, A STRANGER IN THE KINGDOM, New England Book Award Winner. ..".paradoxical twists, wordplay, subtle associations and darkly funny atmosphere. (Burke) is an earthy pragmatist with a surreal inner life...an insomniac dreamer." Ada Fetters, Editor, The Commonline Journal. "The word genius is bandied about far too freely, and most geniuses are not recognized as such in their life time. With that being said I am not the least bit hesitant in claiming Burke's poetic genius and I hope it is recognized in his life-time." Matthew J. Hall, author, THE HUMAN CONDITION IS A TERMINAL ILLNESS..".staccato hard-hitting lines...Burke has a keen no bullshit eye and style that gets the job done...Like a first round TKO." Alan Catlin, MISFIT MAGAZINE

KNUCKLE SANDWICHES is a punch in the face to art, culture, and society. A smack in the mouth to propriety. Knuckle sandwiches of the literal kind as well as the more common, but no less painful, metaphorical kind, which life gives to everyone regardless of race, creed, class, or gender.

A wild and wondrous group of poems, BE KIND TO STRANGERS is the most recent collection of work by Carl Miller Daniels. Sweet, sexy, and alarming, with more than a hint of gentle absurdism, these poems cross the paths from sadness to joy, with a sense of awe and amazement that things in this world, are like they are.

Remote Life slices into the reader's mind like a paper cut, provoking thought, mild discomfort, and the unsettling thrill of a direct and immediate experience of reality. In this collection of poems, Edward Anki addresses the disconnectedness of modern urban existence in raw and unforgiving terms, offering an unfiltered take on everything from the struggles of dating to the stark actualities of aging and death.

Damon Ferrell Marbut devastates the notion of apology in poetry with a tender recklessness in Little Human Accidents, poems that examine a personal evolution of sexuality and identity while treating the unavoidable step towards adulthood like a punching bag, especially in his free flowing self reflexive poems like Mornings Like This and So What. "There is a kind of perfect combination of fragility and intensity in Damon Ferrell Marbut's poetry that sneaks up on you as it builds. Like a prize fighter who waits for the right moment to knock the breath out of you, Marbut's poems are part awe, part intimidation, and all heart. Brace yourself for this collection." Dr. Devon F. Ralston Miami University

BEWARE: Wayne F. Burke and his Words that Burn is not only poetry, its arson. A combustible collection of poetry that will fry anyone's imagination: jails, arrests, a bad childhood, and life in the raw. Words that Burn is a brutally honest evisceration of one man's experience of life on this planet written with verve and the unadorned yet eloquent language of where the poet came from.

I WALKED UP BEHIND GOD AND STUCK A SIGN ON HIS BACK. IT SAID "FREE WILL," OR "KICK ME." The government is taxing your dreams and moments are being captured and held against their will. Murphy's Law is suspended pending the outcome of a constitutional challenge; a best-selling author writes and publishes the same novel fifteen times without anyone catching on, and all of humanity is put into receivership over a missing cup of coffee. Andrew J. Simpson's debut anthology is a highly creative journey through the world of the surreally real. Savour the fantastical and the mundane, every nuance and notion that makes up The Big Picture.

YOU HAVE A DISEASE. YOUR BRAIN IS INFECTED. POISONED. CONTAMINATED. But don't worry. Ernie Lobe, a fifty-four year old baker, sociopath, and father of two is looking for the cure, which he thinks he may have found. The only problem is there's a slight side-effect...death. But don't worry about that either, because you can get paid to die.
