Nature Speaks is a lyrical, soul-stirring poetry collection by A.K. Patrick, written in the voices of the Earth’s oldest storytellers—river, forest, moon, mountain, owl, and others. These are not poems about nature; they are poems from nature. Each verse serves as a whisper from the wild, an echo from stone, a reminder of what we’ve forgotten—and what still waits for us to remember. Told through allegory and grounded in deep emotional truth, these poems explore themes of rebirth, reverence, rage, and resilience.

Dead Souls, Gogol's epic poem in prose, is widely regarded as an exemplar of 19th-century Russian literature.

In Customs, Solmaz Sharif examines what it means to exist in the nowhere of the arrivals terminal, a continual series of checkpoints, officers, searches, and questionings that become a relentless experience of America. With resignation and austerity, these poems trace a pointed indoctrination to the customs of the nation-state and the English language, and the realities they impose upon the imagination, the paces they put us through.

In her electric fourth collection, Melissa Broder penetrates the itch of existence and explores numberless deaths: the annihilation of self, the bereavement of love, the destruction of fantasy, the transmutation, even, of our ideas of dying.

Last Sext confronts both eternal longing and the mystery of mortality, with language hot, primal, and dark.

Phil Kaye’s debut collection is a stunning tribute to growing up, and all of the challenges and celebrations of the passing of time, as jagged as it may be. Kaye takes the listener on a journey from a complex but iridescent childhood, drawing them into adolescence, and finally on to adulthood. There are first kisses, lost friendships, hair blowing in the wind while driving the vastness of an empty road, and the author in the middle, trying to make sense of it all. Date & Time is a welcoming story, which freezes the calendar and allows us all to live in our best moments.

A man prospecting for gold in the Sonoran desert, and a young boy riding his dirt bike, both witness a horrendous crime and become the target of an egotistical killer.

What does it mean to be a child of God? We are told in scripture that followers of Jesus Christ are a member of the royal priesthood. We are told that we have been adopted into God’s family. We are told that we are a joint heir with Jesus Christ. We are told that we are loved by God as he loves all of his family. Yet, we often, and even most often, are reluctant to fully accept our adoption. We accept our salvation. But we do not accept the intimate love of our Father in heaven.

Este no es un libro de esos que dejas olvidados en un rincón, sino uno al que vuelves cada vez que lo necesitas. Es de esos que logran derrumbarte, pero también hacerte brillar.

Valentía es un camino, tiene sus obstáculos, sus dolores y tristezas, pero también está lleno de esperanza, de fe.
