Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What can I tell you about this book that would entice you to spend twenty one dollars on an art, poetry, and word book? Probably nothing. Other than the fact that Randomly Accessed Poetics, Heart Splatters Into Significance, is an elegantly designed book. I know what you're thinking, "what book is worth twenty one dollars?" If you really want to get this book, but don't want to part with the Twenty one dollars, go to the Kindle store and get if for three. Of course, the paper version is far more beautiful and you do not need an electronic device to view it on. Here is what you are purchasing, should you decide to part with your twenty one dollars, in between these pages there are thirty five contributors from all over the world. Most of them are from the United States. And sixteen are from Washington State. Greg Brisendine is performance poet who makes his living in theater; he has two poems in this book. Larry Crist has been published prolifically in little magazines and big ones too, like Rattle. Duane Kirby Jensen is a poet painter from Everett. He curates a spoken word venue at Cafe Zippy's on Wetmore Avenue. Brandon Pitts has written plays, novels, and countless poems. For Chris Jarmick, poetry is everything, he is author of a book titled "Ignition: Poem Starters, Septolets, Statements & Double Dog Dares." Jeannine Hall Gailey was appointed to position of Poet Laureate of Redmond, Washington in 2012. Carla Blaschka, is a Seattle lifer who, draws inspiration for her short stories from The Stranger and from Capitol Hill. There are many more exciting writers between these pages waiting to be read. People who are just as much in love with writing as I am. People who organize the randomness of our world into words and images. Me, I am just a country boy who lives in Oregon and works in a casino. And maybe that is why you should buy this book. To see how a nobody country guy can organize the words of others into a beautiful bouquet. * * * The fourth issue of Randomly Accessed Poetics features work from B.Z. Niditch (NY), Duane Kirby Jensen (Everett, WA), Larry Crist (Seattle, WA), and Carla Blaschka (Seattle, WA).

Book excerpt: Not Aloud presents some 30 plus years of Christopher J. Jarmick's marvelous poetry. Jarmick's thematic territory is expansive-- family, relationships, the art of writing, philosophy, his patented poem starters, and much, much more. His language is musical, approachable, and memorable. His refreshing turns of phrases stand clichEs on their heads: "The clouds/are not metaphors at all./ They hide the sky, /they get fat, /sometimes they burst, /but not with tears, /Mr. Tambourine Man, /just with rain." Full of humor, acute observation, and deep emotion, Not Aloud is a collection you'll want to return to again and again. --Lana Hechtman Ayers, author of A New Red, editor MoonPath Press.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Halina Rudowski is on the run. When the Polish ghetto where she lives is evacuated, she narrowly escapes, but her mother is not as lucky. Along with her friend Batya, Halina makes her way to a secret encampment in the woods where Jews survive by living underground. As the group struggles for food, handles infighting, and attempts to protect themselves from the advancing Germans, Halina must face the reality of life without her mother. Based on historical events, this gripping tale sheds light on a little-known aspect of the Holocaust: the underground forest encampments that saved several thousand Jews from the Nazis. In telling the story of one girl's survival, Escaping into the Night marks the arrival of a remarkable new voice in fiction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The poems in Plume are nuclear-age songs of innocence and experience set in the "empty" desert West. Award-winning poet Kathleen Flenniken grew up in Richland, Washington, at the height of the Cold War, next door to the Hanford Nuclear Reservation, where "every father I knew disappeared to fuel the bomb," and worked at Hanford herself as a civil engineer and hydrologist. By the late 1980s, declassified documents revealed decades of environmental contamination and deception at the plutonium production facility, contradicting a lifetime of official assurances to workers and their families that their community was and always had been safe. At the same time, her childhood friend Carolyn's own father was dying of radiation-induced illness: "blood cells began to err one moment efficient the next / a few gone wrong stunned by exposure to radiation / as [he] milled uranium into slugs or swabbed down / train cars or reported to B Reactor for a quick run-in / run-out." Plume, written twenty years later, traces this American betrayal and explores the human capacity to hold truth at bay when it threatens one's fundamental identity. Flenniken observes her own resistance to facts: "one box contains my childhood / the other contains his death / if one is true / how can the other be true?" The book's personal story and its historical one converge with enriching interplay and wide technical variety, introducing characters that range from Carolyn and her father to Italian physicist Enrico Fermi and Manhattan Project health physicist Herbert Parker. As a child of "Atomic City," Kathleen Flenniken brings to this tragedy the knowing perspective of an insider coupled with the art of a precise, unflinching, gifted poet.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Somebody has to tell the truth sometime, whatever that truth may be. In this, her debut full collection, Mariahadessa Ekere Tallie offers up a body of work that bears its scars proudly, firm in the knowledge that each is evidence of a wound survived. These are songs of life in all its violent difficulty and beauty; songs of fury, songs of love. 'Karma's Footsteps' brims with things that must be said and turns the volume up, loud, giving silence its last rites. "Ekere Tallie's new work 'Karma's Footsteps' is as fierce with fight songs as it is with love songs. Searing with truths from the modern day world she is unafraid of the twelve foot waves that such honesties always manifest. A poet who "refuses to tiptoe" she enters and exits the page sometimes with short concise imagery, sometimes in the arms of delicate memoir. Her words pull the forgotten among us back into the lightning of our eyes." -Nikky Finney

Book excerpt: "These (are) letters of wisdom, compassion, and understanding deeply rooted in the day to day practice of "walking the walk"... the book made me feel as though I'd just heard Amiri Baraka or Sonia Sanchez "blow" a new sound/solo on their Soul-instruments, and regretted that I hadn't done so. Tallie's knowledge, experience and deep insight caused me to wish that as a young, '60s poet, I'd had the good fortune to receive such a spiritual and literary gift. Yes, our elders spoke to us, but few, if any, wrote to our Generation with such compassionate understanding." -Askia M. Touré, Poet, Activist, Djali, Co-founder of the Black Arts Movement this is the third release from Grand Concourse Press, for more info www.GrandConcoursePress.com

Latino/Latina Studies. "In Sheila Maldonado's work, it's as if the great voices of Latin American poetry are speaking through a contemporary American woman and remixed to the beat of her own particular urban swagger and wit. It's a song that can contain pop culture, social satire, linguistic hi-jinx, and a funky sense of form. Read this powerful and often hilarious book as a source of self-help to get you through the city's frustrations. It will leave you refreshed, restored, and ready to 'tear out a heart / if you have to.'"—Elaine Equi "If you're ever lost in the beguiling and fractured translation of being Latin@ in America, Sheila Maldonado's ONE-BEDROOM SOLO is just the book you need. These poems bring you into a conversation that is drop-dead funny and cunningly tragic. Maldonado draws a self-portrait in an active mirr∨ an x-ray of love, despair, homeland, and good ole' signifyin'. ONE-BEDROOM SOLO is a memorable first collection."—Willie Perdomo

Lashley pulls no punches in this collection, which showcases his signature, rhythmic eloquence and acuity more than ever. His narrative threads expose hidden intimacies amid trauma and ambivalence in the face of institutionalized racism. Readers will leave this book asking, how do we build and honor a city's legacy, and what part did we take in that journey?

"The poems in THE SLOW ART are boiled down to unflinching essentials. Golden refuses to hide behind the easy fires and maximal adornment of so much contemporary poetry, giving us a rough-edged vision that drifts out into a world of machinery, work, and family. The art here is that the poems drift inward, too--to the landscape of the self where time, language, and experience become a tangle of the brutal, the mysterious, the essential, and the celebrated. And I celebrate this book whose heart contains the world and those who work it 'for her, for him, for them, for me, for you.'"--Michael McGriff
