"A poetry collection that is both visceral and vulnerable, Blast Radius tackles the complexity of serving in the military and questions whether anyone can return "... home / safe and sound." Douglas E. Self employs psychological twists and raw physicality to shed light on the battleelds we carry within. A surprise at every turn, these musical lines will knock the wind out of you, in the way only a skilled poet can." -Tina Parker, author of Lock Her Up

"In Places of Permanent Shade, J. Kates tackles the big themes along with some smaller ones, but whether he is writing about chopping wood or the end of the world, he brings to his poetry a restless intelligence, subtle humour and a keen sense of observation, both of the inner and the outer life. His tone and use of imagery are remarkable and varied, the voice both colloquial and elegant. And often, lurking just around the corner, is a sharp wit that will jump out and bite you on the arse before you know it." -Peter Robinson, author of Not Dark Yet

"This new collection of short stories presents the first opportunity for the English-speaking reader to experience the unique storytelling voice of the accomplished Bulgarian author, screen writer and filmmaker Ludmil Todorov"--

"Mark Lee Webb''s It''s Not Easy Being A Moth harnesses the verve of a bildungsroman while culling together the fragmentary memory of a West Coast childhood in the early-Seventies. Blended with vivid snapshots of adulthood, all is spread out and observed like a collection of shells gathered from a day at the beach. Some of these moments are blurred with longing and fractured with anxieties. Others are present and wholly iridescent." -Jon Pineda

"We all wear masks. There are people with whom we can take our masks off and speak from the heart. Professor Walker is an expert in masks, or personas. And he well knows that sometimes masks let us speak deep truths about the world. He also knows masks sometimes protect us, sometimes keep us from ourselves, and sometimes cause us pain. Paul Dunbar, in "We Wear the Mask," asks of the world and of poetry, "Why should the world be over-wise, / In counting all our tears and sighs?" Yet, it seems that now, as then, the world pays too little attention to the tears and sighs about which Dunbar sings. We are so grateful that Walker has taken the time to sit with death and pain and heartbreak, to sit and tune his voice to sing these elegies, so that we can gather around him to sing through our tears with head held high. " -Jeremy Paden

"The poems in this rich collection are both spare and candid, chronicling the demise of a marriage, even as it nearly coincides with a father's blooming love for his young daughter. One love is lost, but a wholly different love arrives. At times the contrast is inexplicable and the speaking voice in these poems doesn't quite know to whom the poems should be addressed- the ex-wife, the young daughter, himself, the ether. That is a perspective I find so arresting in this book, a crossroads of grief that has no bottom and love that has no end, weighted with the plain responsibility of somehow going forward"--
