Burning the Bacon

About Burning the Bacon:

In Burning the Bacon, L. Austen Johnson navigates through deeply personal terrain, laying waste to it and watching its flowers regrow in the four sections of the collection: “Gravity,” “In Memoriam,” “Entropy,” and “Parthenogenesis.” She explores topics such as chronic illness, love, heartbreak, memory, and growing up with a blend of accessible language and rich metaphor.

A Compilation of Echoes by Janice T

About A Compilation of Echoes by Janice T

Step back in time with this collection of rhyming verse, containing the first three books of the Echoes, Neo-Victorian Poetry series. Trained from a very early age by the tomes of Classical, Edwardian, and Victorian era poets, Janice T puts a 20th century spin on rhyming, metered poetry. Within the rigors of her restrictive, classical template, the challenge is to give the appearance of effortless composition. It is this challenge which has served to fuel, rather than stymie, her muse. You are invited to steep a lovely cup of tea, find a cozy niche, hope for a rainy day, and indulge in the resonant ambiance of A Compilation Of Echoes.

When Anxiety Met PTSD

About When Anxiety Met PTSD:

When two illnesses meet, we rarely expect the phenomenon of healing to be the result.
This is the story of two like-minded soulmates.
Of the two, my name is PTSD.

This multimedia narrative memoir in twenty-one poems and six songs written over twenty months in my private journal is the musical tale of how my healing came about, a crumb of who I am.

For every trapped rat in the rat race of this world, for every mind that seeks relief, every heart ridden with a burden or a seemingly inescapable condition – there is hope.

All proceeds from this book will be put into my campaign against child sexual abuse.

Tiny Footcrunch by David Wasserman

About Tiny Footcrunch by David Wasserman:

Tiny Footcrunch was born out of emotions and sharpened by society’s waning attention span. It delivers vast thoughts through tiny poems. Ten universal emotions. Sadness. Joy. Anger. Kindness. Fear. Love. Confusion. Humor. Curiosity. Hope. Ten petite poems carefully crafted and shepherded into each bloodline. This collection speaks to the era of texting tweeting twittering fast-paced visually digestible media we live in every day. Literature has changed. Long-form storytelling through print is falling out of favor while comments, posts and captions increasingly become the new narrative. These tiny poems bridge that divide. Savor suck snack stay on them – they are not meant to be devoured as if bite-size chocolates. Rather, bravely peel each poem back and reveal the many layers provided by each word, each line, each thought that pops into your head right at that pivotal moment when you have a raw wild running whipping racing through the forest visceral reaction to these . . . words on a page.

ball lightning
a single line
lingers in my mind

The Lost Art of Self

About The Lost Art of Self:

This collection hits on the feelings we have all had at some point or currently have.
That lack of connection to love, your faith, your job, your life and the world around you. That feeling when your lost in your own mind and you feel the need to question everything and anything that once made sense.
This book was written to help you reconnect in some way, even if it’s just to the words themselves that help you realize that other people have felt the same way.

“The Lost Art of Self, was written from a purely personal point of view in an attempt to convey a perceived lack of authenticity in the life he had been living, there is a substantial thread of the universal human experience woven into his poetic narrative. Who among us has not felt, at one time or another, a sense of being out of touch with self and exhausted from giving to a world that takes more and more without giving in return?” – ReadersFavorite.com 5*****

THE 1ST DIARY POEMS

About THE 1ST DIARY POEMS:

THE 1st diary POEMS is a celebration of heart meets love. It’s written to show you how deeper in love you can fall while keeping the same smile of old. It’s intended to reach that deepest part of your heart where love planted a seed that grows big, the same part where love grows your needs so it never stops giving.

My name is Prudee M. I was brought up in South Africa, but I live in my writings. What I found great about LOVE is that it’s the only unseen thing human beings are able to bring into existence. THE 1st diary POEMS is the revelation of this love and how it progresses from the unseen to endless possibilities of what you could ever imagine love to be.

Included in the book are the following:

Love is a reminder that you once wished for something good to happen.

Love is a blank picture that is never short of ink.

Love is the greatest gamble that’ll win you an even greater life.
…

My wish with THE 1st diary POEMS is to take you on my journey of love that began as a hopeful one. It’s a journey of butterflies in my stomach when their season hasn’t even begun, countless scintillating stars all around, that full moon that shines brighter at night than the sun ever could. It’s about any dream that matures enough until it brings reality into your arms.
