HOMELESS CHRONICLES from Abraham to Burning Man
by Gerard Sarnat
Gerard Sarnat’s epic poems burst across the page with the glee usually reserved for shooting stars. This is a playful balls-out poet unafraid to temper bold statements with enough humor and compassion to make us nostalgic for his ecstatic profound view of life. He sings to us through the voice of a universal poet. Sarnat’s written one hell of an exciting book!

The Lamb of Desire
by Olivia Ruiz Marrujo
translated by Joan Lindgren
Lamb of Desire (Cordero del deseo) is about love and Eros. It tells a story of desire, a pursuit of the body’s pleasure as well as a yearning to transcend the flesh. In that sense it is a collection of poems about a longing which figures as naturally in the hopes of women and men in late modernity . . .
