vermillionAbout Vermilion by Julian Caesar

MY-1ST-BOOK-COVERAbout Universal Colloquies Inside of Me by Veronica Thornton

This is a humanizing book of poetry that covers just about anything. These poems inspire you to get out there and do something great, make you think about the things you can probably relate with but were not able to describe properly before, and force you to contemplate upon the deep thoughts written in the form of mesmerizing poetry.
The ideas are very mature and philosophical. There is stuff about change and evolution, and then there are poems about accepting yourself and self love. The poems are delightfully balanced and for those who need to hear the right thing at the right time, they are sure to be of great comfort.

FEATURED BOOK: Human Crutches by Damon Marbut

By

Human_Crutches_by_Damon_Ferrell_MarbutGenre: Narrative Poetry

Life in the French Quarter of New Orleans is bar life, the quintessential stage setting for unfolding dramas, dark truths and chaos borne of excess. In Human Crutches, Damon Ferrell Marbut tells this story with remarkable generosity and skill, providing an inside study of local lifestyle in a great American city. Often humorous and sometimes vulgar, the poems are piercing, honest and layered with urban Southern affect as endearing as it is frightful.

Not since Eugene O’Neill have we met so many lost, disillusioned and downright funny souls in one single saloon. Damon Ferrell Marbut’s Human Crutches is a veritable village of monologists certain to move you, piss you off, and leave you in laughter or sadness. ~Felice Picano
