NEW from Two Sylvias Press:
The Cardiologist's Daughter is the debut poetry collection of poet and medical student, Natasha Kochicheril Moni.
Lovingly rendered and tenderly drawn, Natasha Kochicheril Moni's poems pulse with wonder and compassion as she examines the concerns of the heart.
~ Kim Barnes Author of In the Kingdom of Men
Natasha Moni is the poet who comes to us "from the clan of butterfly watchers.” I love her poems in this book, I suggest you open it to a poem such as "As in Dutch, As in You" or her sequence of the "Cardiologist's daughter" and you will find a voice which is able to find lyric in moments of each day, to find music in medicine, to find strange clarity in each of us. This is a beautiful debut.
~ Ilya Kaminsky, author of Dancing in Odessa
This doctor's daughter sings of the literal as well as the figurative heart, in poems that are haunting and elegiac. Moni’s love of the language of medicine and anatomy, as well as a deep respect for her Indian and Dutch family roots, are evident throughout these delightful poems. Though her life path may evolve differently than her Cardiologist father's, they both bend toward healing as art.
~ Peter Pereira, author of Saying the World
Natasha Moni writes with unflinching honesty and subtle surprise. The Cardiologist’s Daughter is both cryptic and conversational, self-deprecating and transcendent – a tender homage to her Indian and Dutch family roots and an intense reflection on the quest for personal identity.
~ Anjali Banerjee, author of Haunting Jasmine and Enchanting Lily

From Seattle Poet, Esther Altshul Helfgott
Listening to Mozart: Poems of Alzheimer's (eBook)
Following her moving memoir, "Dear Alzheimer's" about living with the gradual loss of her husband, Esther Altshul Helfgott's "Listening to Mozart" is a fitting and lovely companion collection that both takes the reader through her grieving and celebrates the husband she's lost. From the new widow's first angry bewilderment to her gradual coming to terms, she vividly conveys how alive the dead are after they've left us with their enormous absence. (Anne Pitkin)

From Award-Winning Poet Susan Rich ~
Cloud Pharmacy (eBook)
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.
