Dear Alzheimer's: A Caregiver's Diary & Poems (eBook Edition)
Esther Altshul Helfgott
In Kelli Russell Agodon’s third collection of poems, Hourglass Museum, the yearning to create is what moves us forward. Through car rides with Andy Warhol, temporary tattoos of Frida Kahlo, and long dinners with Joseph Cornell, we walk hand-in-hand through a paper museum where what inspires intersects with our regular lives.
Hourglass Museum offers a dazzling selection of poems inspired by artwork and artists that explores personal relationships and the struggle (emotionally, financially, and spiritually) of living a creative life. Agodon understands the importance of how art influences our lives and how we balance delicately realizing that we only have so much time to live and create. Hourglass Museum is a meditation in beauty, tenderness, and knowledge reaching far beyond most poetry that’s being written today.

She Returns to the Floating World (Second Edition)
by Jeannine Hall Gailey
She Returns to the Floating World (Second Edition) (Print)
She Returns from the Floating World (eBooks)
Two Sylvias Press is thrilled to announce the re-release of the print edition of
She Returns to the Floating World complete with new beautiful artwork from Michaela Eaves.
SHE RETURNS TO THE FLOATING WORLD (Second Edition) is a book about transformation that examines two recurring motifs in Japanese folk tales and popular culture: "the woman who disappears" and the "older sister/savior." Many of the poems are persona poems spoken by characters from animé and manga, mythology, and fairy tales, like the story of the kitsune, or fox-woman, whose relationships are followed throughout the book. Gailey's abiding interest in female heroes and tales of transformation, love, and loss bristles to life with a cast of characters including wives who become foxes, sisters who become birds, and robots with souls. "I deeply admire the skill with which Jeannine Hall Gailey weaves myth and folklore into poems illuminating the realities of modern life. Gailey is, quite simply, one of my favorite American poets; and She Returns to the Floating World is her best collection yet." --Terri Windling, writer, editor, and artist ("The Year's Best Fantasy and Horror" series, "The Armless Maiden," "The Endicott Studio")
120 pages, $12. Now available on Amazon.com

From Award-Winning Poet Susan Rich ~
Cloud Pharmacy (eBook)
Cloud Pharmacy (eBook) by Susan Rich
Cloud Pharmacy is a book of lyric fire. In our epoch of quick and shallow literary conversation it is rare to come across such level of attentiveness as one finds in this book. The poems in Susan Rich’s fourth collection look skyward investigating what it means to fully embrace a life where time is on the run. A dual emergency strikes at the heart of this collection --- a wildfire rages across the poet’s temporary landscape of southern Spain -- and a heart must reexamine the language of love. Investigations of art, travel, and desire in all its complications circle through the poems. In the The Dark Room sequence, Rich highlights the work of 19th century photographer, Hannah Maynard, who through her proto surreal images documented a journey into the psyche. We do not know what our futures hold, but with Rich’s words we can move forward more optimistically.
