New Release: The Inexhaustible Before by Robert Pfieffer

New Release: The Inexhaustible Before by Robert Pfieffer

Bob Pfieffer’s second poetry collection dares us to be “good to one another,” to be “serious about experience,” and “to enjoy / the smallest fragments of life.” It’s a book about fatherhood, citizenship, and—first and foremost—love.
James Davis May, author of Unquiet Things

Unquestionably the poems of this book express empathy at every turn: for past girlfriends, polar bears, animals struck by cars, tsunami victims, a mother diagnosed with cancer, a girlfriend become wife, a baby daughter…Underpinning the voice of this emotionally rich book is a belief in our shared humanity and the ultimate hope for redemption through love.
Beth Gylys, author of Sky Blue Enough to Drink

New Release: Body Work by Stephanie Cohen

Opening a copy of Body Work is like lifting the lid of a jewelry box to discover each gemstone carefully carved, polished, and sparkling. These poems resonate with intelligence, authenticity, delicious irony, concise and biting images, and deep empathy. The work in this insightful and unforgettable collection rank as Stephanie K. Cohen’s finest. And there’s not a faux jewel among them.

New Release: Reflections- New and Selected Poems by Ute Carson

New Release: Reflections- New and Selected Poems by Ute Carson

Ute Carson’s first volume of poetry, Just A Few Feathers was published by PlainView Press in 2011. She also published a novella, Save the Last Kiss, with Plain View Press in 2016.

What a remarkable, sweeping collection from writer Ute Carson! This inspired arrangement of poetry, conveys the richness and poignancy of every life stage. Drawing from remarkable experience and striking particulars, she ultimately conveys the light of gratitude–“the clearing you spy / beyond a forest thicket.” The poems are love songs to family and life itself, cyclical loss answered always by powerful renewal.
Judith Austin Mills, author of Accidental Joy, a Streak of Poetry and the Texas Revolution Trilogy
