About the darkest of times, the darkest of thoughts by Megan Diedericks
gray, empty
but i let the words grow
and my heart, i let show
but with separation came
the anxiety, the pain, the journey
within confinement.
i wasn’t ever my own
and my many faces had me so alone,
i thought i might drown.
it started before i even knew what puberty meant:
at twelve, i wrote my first lines.
now, at twenty, i want you to read my warning signs.

Bette A. Stevens’s imagery draws the reader into her world of wonder and delight. My Maine takes readers on a poetic journey through Maine’s four seasons. Whether you’re a native Mainer or from away, Stevens’s short story poems and photographs will resonate.

In addition to its poems and photographs, My Maine includes state symbols and interesting facts about The Pine Tree State.

About Sweet and Sour
What is love anyway?
All the poems in this collection are to do with love and relationships. As the title implies, some of them are positive in tone, while others are quite bitter. The poems are split into three sections:
– Single
– Taken
– Single Again
The pieces in the first section discuss being single and longing for a relationship. The second section looks at relationships and how they can be fulfilling but also problematic. The final one focuses on finding yourself single again after a break-up and not having the best outlook on life.
About Wine Not?
A night out getting drunk…
A collection of 15 poems all about alcohol. The poems tell the story of a drunken night out and the morning after.
The main character likens alcohol to rocket fuel and talks about how getting drunk is similar to flying off into space. He has fun getting wild, chatting to new people and dancing. His speech may get slurred, but his writing doesn’t. Once the night is over, it’s time to recover while contemplating the effects of drinking alcohol.
About Screaming In Autopilot
How do you forgive someone who has wronged you so terribly, yet feels they did nothing wrong? In my book, Screaming In Autopilot, I take the reader along with me on my life-long journey to answer this question. Beginning with childhood abuse and trauma that gradually spills over into an adulthood mired in depression, alcoholism, and dysfunction, the prose and poetry will both astonish and touch the readers’ hearts. Although there is great pain and tragedy throughout the book, I want to reassure the reader that healing is possible through laughter and the passage of time, and there is freedom in letting go of anger. I am extending a hand of hope for all victims of abuse.

About Drop of Atom poems by Joey Salomone
“Drop of Atom”, Salomone’s second book of poetry, is a poetic journey brimming with messages of love, mental health, and dwindling hope during the notorious covid-19 pandemic—all peppered with wit. Through writing that is stylistically diverse and bursting with raw poignancy, a highly relatable narrative is revealed. Within its pages, dire realities are also unveiled—albeit necessary ones. Experimental in its approach and cunning in its execution, it is evident that imposed limits are nonexistent along this literary path. “Drop of Atom” is at the intersection of the metaphysical and the tangible. You will be sure to run into the fantastical (ogres and pharaohs), the earthly (sunflowers and snowfall), and everything in between.

BEING BLACK IS TRAUMATIC ENOUGH by NEEKO COLOGNE
BEING BLACK IS TRAUMATIC ENOUGH!!!, “Walk A Painful Mile In Our Agony Shoes” Is a visual and word walk through years of black joy and pain, love and hate, struggle and progress. It’s an untraditional new style of poetry. That I call “Poe-liloquies”. Its the mixing of free verse and soliloquies. The books theme is based on being black in a America. Each poem will put you in the shoes of blackness as we walk, march and run through this pernicious society. Over 40 poems and pictures depicting black love, black unity, black creativity, black self-hate, black struggle and progress, discrimination and mental Illness and other more personal poems. This book was very emotional to write because each poem is tied to the emotions I felt before, during and after the Black Live Matter protest. It moved my spirit reading Alex Haley “ROOTS” and watching it on TV. I felt some type of way reading about how Emmet Till was killed. I got emotional seeing Rodney King get beat on TV. I felt some type of way seeing Trayvon Martin’s murderer get acquitted. I felt hurt and numbness seeing George Floyd struggle to breath underneath the knee of evil. All of those emotions I gathered and formed this book. The poems in this book will make you think, make you feel and make you imagine what could be. “MAGNIFICENT YOU”, I’m acknowledging and appreciating black women. “BLACK MAN, BLACK MAN”, is an acknowledgement of black men’s worth, the need to unite and the need to stop killing one another. HOW MUCH IS YOUR BLACKNESS WORTH”?, Will walk you through the delusional view of slavery being a necessary evil. The death, brutality and agony black people were forced to endure to secure white society extreme wealth. “RIP PIECES”, shed some light on the fact that some people are just mean and evil. People will hurt you sometimes mistakenly and other times intentional. “WHITE TEARS”, will give you my perception of hateful people who use their privilege as a vice to hurt, harm and destroy blackness. “I’M NOTCHA”, was inspired by James Baldwin unfinished book “I’m Not Your Negro.” It will take you through the history of hateful and racist words used to traumatize and degrade blackness. “DEPRESSION”, here I write about what depression looks like from my point of view. “I HOPE”, was inspired after listening to Dr. Martin Luther King’s “I Have A Dream” speech. It allowed me to think positive despite the evil that’s attacking blackness from all directions. “My MOMMA” is a dedication to my momma who was a beautiful black single mother of seven black kids from the southside of Chicago. “ONE DAY”, will take you on a journey of what life could be like for black people if these certain things were to happen. Writing these poems is what helped me cope with the emotional rollercoaster I was living everyday, I hope my words will help someone get through another day. God bless.
