Love’s Wishbone by Robert Pfeiffer are the poems of a father, a husband, a human, at midlife – melancholy, nostalgic, tinged with regret, yet ultimately hopeful for the future.

This latest work of veteran poet Marian Kaplun Shapiro is titled Upbringing because it confronts and explores issues surrounding being a child and growing up. Many poems present a moment in time through the eyes of a child, showing the innocence and confusion of children maneuvering in an adult world.

Marriages and Other Dilemmas: Collected Stories and a Memoir by Kitty Beer was released April 15, 2022. This book balances 16 short stories with a 50 page memoir. With heroines of every age, the stories are dynamic, dark, sexy, and humorous, and the frank and open memoir adds insight to the experience. In the stories, she explores consequential events in the lives of ordinary people, revealing her love for life and the idiosyncrasies that make life profoundly interesting. Crisp writing and a jaunty tone take the reader on a journey to the outer edges of desire, love and revenge. In her memoir, Beer takes an honest and insightful look back on her life, filled with “mistakes, thrills, fears, bliss, and delusion,” overcoming the grief of misfortune with good nature and resoluteness. While Beer’s trio of thriller novels reflect on her passion for the environment, Marriages and Other Dilemmas skillfully reflects on her personal life and observations of the world around her.
