Report copyright infringementby Delilah McCrea (Author)The Book of Flowers uses ecopoetic and surrealist imagery - as well as formal experimentation - to process grief in its many forms. McCrea explores the pain caused by losing a loved one, living on a dying Earth, and the violence queer and other marginalized bodies face through sharp imagery and cutting lines. Even as she does so, McCrea's work always strains towards a light that can be found in liminality - in the dimension of experience ...

Report copyright infringementby Robert Perry (Author)As the ultimate ars poetica, this collection of poems extends Vermeer's artist-in-his-studio allegory of the art of painting to the art of poetry. As a practicing artist and designer who is a student of art history, the poet, simply put, paints with words in his poetry. The approach and result are most often visual. It's no surprise that the book also contains several Ekphrastic poems that hold a work of art or the like as the subject or pr...

From the inner workings of 4-H clubs raising prize-winning nuns to the trials and tribulations of dating (and breaking up with) D...
