SLAM POEMS FOR MY BATHROOM MIRROR…And Other Selected Works by Chris Courtney Martin

About SLAM POEMS FOR MY BATHROOM MIRROR…And Other Selected Works:

If THE BOOK OF I.P. was a ‘manifesto’ then SLAM POEMS FOR MY BATHROOM MIRROR serves as a disclosure. The hybrid collection lays bare the most vulnerable spiritual recesses underpinning the artist’s ongoing search for sense and empathy. Triggers and trauma track through much of this work, but these somber notes are part of a deeper and more nuanced chord– the cry of a cryptid being uncaged. {Paperback. 112 pages.}

(Un)Wholesome by Chelsea Bartell

About (Un)Wholesome:

Chelsea Bartell’s debut poetry collection, “(Un)Wholesome”, is her purest and most heart-wrenching testament to her belief that immense growth happens after your afflictions. Bartell vividly captures her growing pains in order to guide her readers through theirs. She speaks fiercely on the importance of a woman’s independence while, graphically, teaching her readers to demand the respect they deserve. To accept love that replenishes and nurtures and to discard those who aren’t willing to reach those lengths. She hums from a swollen heart as she recovers from a love she thought would be the last only to find there were more lies than truths, more manipulation than there was love. She hashes out her anger with her absent father by using letters she wrote but could never send. Bartell wrote this book with the intention to heal the wounds of the human condition. After reading from cover to cover, she hopes you too, will come into your fullest truth, despite the anxiety, lack of, anger, frustration, and confusion people believe hinders our growth.

Mortal Thoughts by Michael R. Lane

About Mortal Thoughts:

The idea for Mortal Thoughts — not in name but in body — began taking shape for me in November 2015. I—like so many others—wade in the erratic waters of intellect and mortality and all of the precious cognitive and ethereal lakes, rivers and streams that congregate between. I have been blessed to hone those temporal thoughts into poetry over the years, an extraordinary written art form that for whatever reason arises in me during my most mystifying times. Why does poetry so readily lend itself to the essence of transcendental deliberations, stoic cogitations and silly musings? The riposte is as simple as dreaming and as complex as mud. It does. For me, the answer begins and ends there, unveiling the journey as in the title, “Mortal Thoughts.”

What is Inspiration? by Alan Loren

what_is_inspirationAbout What is Inspiration?:

“What is Inspiration?” is a mini-anthology of poetry drawn from the pages of a writer’s workshop called MWW (My Word Wizard). This wonderful collection of poems will touch you in so many ways. You will journey with the authors as they share their deeply personal experiences on such subjects as love and happiness, tragedy and pain, the silly and the sublime. The workshop began as a lark, with Alan Loren offering a website of poetry covering myriad topics. The idea was to offer the community inspirational words that synched with their particular mood at any given time. As all endeavors, it took on a life of its own. More and more people began to contribute their own works, and MWW became more than just a source of sentient language. It grew into an outlet for writers to shed light on their craft. The quality of the writing ranges from those just testing the waters to fully accomplished poets. It is a true writers’ democracy in that everyone is encouraged to submit. And so began the project of compiling a representative anthology of works in the form of our first book, “What is Inspiration?” We hope you enjoy it as much as we did curing the output.
