HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED ABOUT THE ORIGINS OF LIFE? Some have, but most have accepted that somehow what we see emerged from a cosmic accident or explosion, and then organisms evolved into the universe we have today. However, author Harry Palmquist doesn't accept that assumption because it's not based on the facts.

In Success in Babylon: How to Thrive in a Hostile Spiritual World, John Stanko points out what made Daniel su...

Liam McIleveny, he is no saint, and through his unholy prayers we eavesdrop on the inner thoughts of an imperfect, middle-aged, human creature as Liam contemplates the big things: hope and heaven, sex and suffering, the value of our short time on earth, the origin of prayer, the power of prayer, what prayer-it actually is, peaches, kisses, authenticity, contradiction, grilled cheese sandwiches, orgasmic delight, and how and where a connection ...

Finlay's poems are the works of a person who has traveled the world in search of himself and his place in it. He is a Midwestern poet in the sense that his poems hide narratives that seek honesty above all else, and he is not a Midwestern poet in the sense that he doesn't apologize for the truth when it is found. Mammoths draws from his experiences and from a wide survey of human history to make us look at someone who isn't quite at home yet, ...

In the city of Laquan McDonald and in the season when some white Americans are beginning to learn that black lives matter, it would be absurd to set myself up as an apologist for the white gaze.

Weaver's collection acts a prolonged meditation on death and the ever-present role it has on living. In these pieces the living play among the dead, reveling in death at times, and perhaps most importantly they search for understanding and meaning in spite of it. From a profoundly personal vantage point of the ways one might come to deal with the presence of death, Weaver explores the sacred and the profane from the viewpoint of those left beh...

In Mark Luebbers debut poetry collection, he frames his discussion with the condition of "flat light." A condition that makes it more difficult to see surfaces and details in contrast, distorts distances, and reduces color values. In order to see well in flat light, one must learn to see "without eyes." And in these poems Luebbers uses this more encompassing poetic vision to reconsider boundaries between wildlife and humanity, the depth of art...

From the depths of a subway platform to the heights of the water towers dotting the skyline, New York City Haiku presents the city that never sleeps in all its states of unrest. The winter clank of pipes in old buildings, the rush of emotions in racing to catch an escaping train, the absurdity of a businessman skateboarding his dry cleaning home, or getting caught in a summertime downpour: this is New York. There is nothing quite like it, and ...
