Town of Secrets, Katarzyna Boczon-Dobbie
60 pp

In Town of Secrets, Katarzyna Boczon-Dobbie uses the
essential elements of poetry, like an Alchemist, in order
to forge a poetic gold that is as brilliant as it is durable.
She populates this town, as a metaphor for the soul, with
memories and experience, vision and breath. Each poem
contains a sacred stillness that coaxes the reader into a
deeply contemplative state. The simple imagery of the
poems creates something more than the sum of its parts
in its vividness and profundity.

Dear Tanya, The Letter Poems & Drawings of Josan
62 pp (includes 26 full color drawings)

Josan's poetry and art leaves us to ponder the distances
between perception and reality, between self and other,
lust and love. Bound by the weight of intellectual and
artistic pursuits, morality, and an ever-widening gap that
is marriage to a stranger, we brave the desolate territory
of thought to find meaning within the marrow of existence.

This title contains explicit sexual material and is therefore
not suitable for people under 18.

Ballet Madonnas, Poems by Lyn Lifshin 30 pp

Ballet Madonnas explores the sexuality behind the dance
- the real and imagined parts, together with the emotional
frustrations and physical pain of trying for some form of
artistic perfection make these poems relevant to anyone.
Lyn's pointed, sensual and well-balanced poems create
and define a metaphor for life that is universally
meaningful.
