BLACK & WHITE

Este libro es una espiral de sentimientos sobre el amor no correspondido surgido de un encuentro casual, donde no se sabe si fue destino o pura coincidencia. Un amor que surgió a primera vista pero nunca llegó a ser recíproco, donde la complejidad de la amistad y el amor nos lleva a una fina línea que las separa. La angustia y la impotencia ante la situación nos lleva a un sin fin de tormento.

BETWEEN TWO GARDENS

A native of New Orleans, with deep roots in south and central Louisiana, Laura Quinn Guidry lived and worked as a healthcare administrator in Houston for years. Then tragedy changed her life and her amazing poems began. Grief and Gratitude are the ?two gardens? this poet moves between. These are poems of love, loss, recovery, lived life, and abundant nature.

AN ALTERNATE REALITY WHERE MELLO YELLO IS MORE POPULAR THAN MTN DEW

Christian Patterson (b. 1991, Auburn WA)   Multicolored clouds converging—pyrotechnic arrows slamming into the chest—an apology that no one hears—Christian Patterson has crafted a strange kind of light orb that feels totally, 100% extraterrestrial. His poems oscillate between ego and id and disembodied bedroom and Taco Bell, and the whole time, it’s like he’s not even paying attention. He could be blindfolded. What an honor to be alive with these poems. -Luis Neer, author of Extinction Patterson’s book comes from a world in which Berenstain Bears is spelled like Berenstein Bears and young people on drugs fear the sound of Beach House.  A map would depict an alternate version of pre-pangea in which Seattle and Seoul are nearly touching and there are 7-11s and Taco Bells on every block. In every parking lot, there is a blond girl experiencing a fresh sense loss.  -Shy Watson, author of Away Status
