A descent into the raw architecture of the human mind, where trauma is not described but embodied-where anxiety tightens like a vice, depression seals every exit, and survival is carved line by line without anesthesia. Written by E. T. Vale and edited by Amir Kapoor, this groundbreaking anthology explores the lived experience of mental illness through twenty-four unflinching, interconnected poems.

Poet Bonnie Weiss presents a collection of stories and poems filled with vivid memories, halfway between verse and prose. Her words are honest, sensitive, and profound but also sometimes humorous, sometimes deep.

Empathize with the pain but find beauty and joy, too, as you walk the poet’s path to truth and enlightenment.

The Shield of Heracles is an archaic Greek epic poem that was attributed to Hesiod during antiquity. The subject of the poem is the expedition of Heracles and Iolaus against Cycnus, the son of Ares, who challenged Heracles to combat as Heracles was passing through Thessaly. It has been suggested that this epic may reflect anti-Thessalian feeling after the First Sacred War (595–585 BCE): in the epic, a Thessalian hero interfering with the Phocian sanctuary is killed by a Boeotian hero (Heracles), whose mortal father Amphitryon had for allies Locrians and Phocians.
