In Neon Cathedral, 47 poems wrestle with faith, doubt, mental health, and relationships. By turns formal and informal, reverent and flippant, the book explores what it means to be a believer within a reality that constantly eludes our attempt to understand it. Meet a man who studies crop circles in an attempt to find order in the universe. Meet a woman whose cooking prowess connects her to God. Experience the heady thrill of first love and the self-dissolving shock of psychosis as you examine your own relationship with the reality you think you know.

Love is the aim and the motivation of my life. And I have not seen anything more beautiful than love and I have not asked anything more than love.It is love that creates ripples in my spirit and makes my heart boil. It brings out my hidden talents and drives me away from selfishness and egoism. I feel another world and disappear in the world of existence. I find a tender feeling, a sensitive heart and a beautiful sight. The gentle shaking of a leafe, light of a distant star, a tiny ant, gentle breeze of dawn, sea wave, sunset; all these steal my feelings and soul and take me away from this world to another world...these are all manifestations of love.It is because of love that I am sacrifices, it is because of love that I look at the world with indifferences and find other dimensions. It is because of love that I see the world as beautiful and I worship beauty. It is because of love that I feel God and I worship Him and I offer my life and existence to Him.

In her thought-provoking, intimate collection, her form of healing, poet Micaela Snow is urged (in solitude) to introspect about life and her unbalanced place in it. To reach equilibrium again, she must address all parts that form her being through the senses. She finds herself on three journeys, each cascading into one another. By exploring the surface of life through ideas of whimsical freedom, purity, and self-realization-dismantling the perception of taste from the lenses of desired platonic and romantic relationships, and uncovering themes of race, family, self-hatred, and fear-she realizes her instability and lack of belonging run deeper than expected, and restoration comes at a price. Her walls are down, and she is stripped bare through vivid language. These poems, like dots, connect slowly to reveal an indisputable visual of reality. We must slowly but surely piece together the poet's life, uncovering both the exquisite and the distorted-that's how we begin to heal.

We all have our Muses, or wish we did, who inspire us to take on creative ventures, get our imaginations perked up, motors humming. In Nine Breezes Blowing Johnny Flaherty has composed a focused collection of poems about nine Muses, partly memoir and partly maybe, all riding on their own breeze. Though his stories are contemporary, his Muses are modeled after those alluring Goddesses portrayed in Greek Mythology. Music, art, dance, poetry are inspired in these stories, often through enchantment. Johnny has previously published three full books of poetry and has recorded a spoken word CD titled Johnny Flaherty's Renderings: sideshow poetry. SPR has called him "a bold observer keeping his eyes peeled for the mystery and beauty of the world."

¡Entregada al hechizo, me arrodillo (hipnotizada y quieta) en el asombro del sentir-de esa tu huella! Y pregunto al camino: ¿En qué momento es apropiado acariciar ese eco maravilloso de tu huella? ¿Cómo encajar en su congruencia? ¿Cómo detener el paso para contemplar la historia abierta? ¡Y llego a la conclusión de que eres camino-pájaro -eres río! Eres semilla antigua y semilla nueva, ¡Y árbol sedentario...! -Rosa Flores"Este libro propone un imaginativo recorrido por los elementos naturales que la versada del maestro Artemio Posadas invoca en los sones de su disco El Viento que Murmura. Es un poético homenaje a la región huasteca del estado mexicano de San Luis Potosí, su música y su gente, e incluye páginas suntuosamente adornadas por la fotografía que lo acompaña".-Everardo RodríguezBibliotecario de Libros Únicos y Antiguos para la Universidad de Stanford"El libro sugiere sentir la imagen descrita en su poesía; palpar el suelo, la piedra y el horizonte; al leerlo ¡se escucha clarito el canto del ave por la mañana y se puede notar la veneración humilde de los rayitos de sol cuando al amanecer se asoman en silencio hacia la vida!" -Autora del libro"La poesía que contiene este libro nos dibuja y- a su vez- alaba parte de la gran riqueza de esta región milenaria. Leerlo es reencontrarse a la distancia, con la sencillez de sus gentes y de sus tradiciones". -Dr. Artemio Posadas

Eventually all the layers intermingle. Bocholt, Germany, 1938: The son of textile and clothing store owners, Walter Stern was a young boy when Hitler came to power. As violence against Jews escalated, Walter's father began smuggling money into Holland, carefully hiding rolled up bills under his bicycle seat.

After his father and uncle are arrested-and later sent to their deaths at Auschwitz-Walter, with his mother and grandmother, find refuge in a cramped corner of a farmer's attic, where Walter listens to the BBC to break the monotony and paints to dull the fear. They are liberated after 909 days in the attic.
