The Sky's the Limit is George Hole's second book of poems, after Buffalo Dust, published by Buffalo Arts Publishing in 2017. Hole's poetry publications include poems in Cimmaron Review, Rapport, Stone Drum, Earth's Daughters, and Sugar Mule, as well as several in the Buffalo News.
Don Scheller's poetry is an expression of the existential ambiguity he finds all around him.
Sylvia Coles lives with her architect husband in Buffalo, New York. Her memoir bears fascinating witness to a lifelong pursuit of her own identity and successes. This book chronicles her travels to such exotic places as Papua New Guinea and Machu Picchu, and across North America and Europe, from the 1950's until the present. Addtional fulfillment is found in the author's more recent pursuits in the photographic arts.
Don Scheller is a poet, teacher, and visual artist, who makes his home in Buffalo, NY. The images and poems included in this volume were created independently of each other, over the course of 40 years. Scheller's sometimes dark, always thought-provoking, black & white photographs visually reinforce the introspective message in each of his poems, including his long forms and his "almost Haiku" short pieces. His deep sensitivity and wry humor are apparent throughout. The book contains 99 photographs. The material is presented with alternating image and poem, in seven chapters: 1. "Along the Way" portrays a vivid picture of the artist's youthful memories and lessons learned. 2. "Faithful Delusion" reflects Scheller's deep, somewhat cynical, grasp of how people fool themselves with unadulterated trust in authority. 3. "Critically Creating" delivers some delightful insights on the creative process and experience. 4. "Relating...Sometimes Loving" is at once a reflection of the artist's empathic observations of relationships, including, perhaps, a look into Scheller's own heart. 5. In "Memories & Loss Thereof" Scheller displays a sensitivity and affection for those close to him, especially his mother, who suffered from Alzheimer's. 6. "Caffeinated Views". Scheller spends his quiet time at coffee shops, observing, thinking, and writing. 7. "Short Pieces (...almost Haiku)". In recent years, the artist has shown a preference for the short verse. He favors the Japanese Haiku form, but willfully deviates from strict adherence to the standard Haiku. Don Scheller's work will make you think, smile, and cry. Len Kagelmacher, Editor Buffalo Arts Publishing

Norine Spurling's poems reflect a lifetime of attention to experience, to feeling, to thought, which she shapes into words. Her luscious images are color drenched: "milk stained sky", "carmine wash", "bird calls/ a turquoise song", "fading sunset's garnet cast". She uses myth, travel, people to probe for their meanings. Her poems of loss break the heart, though she is unafraid to collect those who passed in the honest assessment of all they meant to her. She surprises the reader with poems that startle and make new. We can understand the "vinegar bones of yesterday" though no one has quite said it like that before. In these poems she carefully elucidates the stages of a woman's life and carefully reflects on all she has known. This beautiful book will call us again and again to enjoy not only the visual imagery but also the sounds of place, time, and memory. - Linda Drajem, Professor of English, SUNY College at Buffalo
The World Imagined is a coming of age tale for all adults who never forgot the fragile brilliance and lurking terrors of being a child. As a girl keenly aware of her difference, yet lacking access to the history that would place her, Judith Slater moves through illnesses and frailties, finding herself a brave Diana, guardian of the forests, and later, a woman with the strength to seek the very past that eluded her. Throughout this tender, utterly authentic book, we see astute portraits of childhood hyper-vigilance, as well as a soul's fierce joy. Slater writes with the subtle care of a poet, in language that is acutely sensitive and lyrically moving. She not only "discovers a self in the world" (and a profound self it is) but imagines one into being. --Lia Purpura

A sequel to Joan Fitzgerald's first crime novel, The Arms of Death, this book is also set in Western New York, where it does indeed get mighty cold. Follow detective Dennis Milvern, as he solves another mysterious death.
A collection of 69 poems, this is Carol Townsend's second published book of poetry (after her chapbook, A Cinder in My Knee, published in 2016 by Buffalo Arts Publishing).Just as the color temperature of shadows changes according to latitude, time of day or year, so too the poems of Townsend's second full-length collection mirror life's experiences. She invites us to share these ephemeral traces-quirky, sexy, tragic and darkly humorous in turn, which are often filtered through the lens of nature.
