From the award-winning poet, dark comic microbursts of prose deliver a whole childhood, at the hands of an aspiring middle-class Jewish family whose hard-boiled American values and wit were the forge of a poet's coming-of-age.

THE RAMAYANAM, an itihasa of the highest order, is considered adi kavya, the first poem to have been composed. Written by Valm ki during Rama’s time, and ratified by him, this timeless epic has been treated with utmost care by all acaryas in their famed commentaries. Since the advent of human civilization, it has inspired many poets and dramatists across the subcontinent and has been transcreated in almost all Bharat ya languages. Multiple layers of philosophy and theology are an embellishment to this classic. Its influence on Bharat ya music, dance, sculpture and textiles is unfathomable.

I’ve never seen anyone at a public pool with a memorable enough body, good or bad, that I think about it ever again. If this line sounds familiar, it’s because you’ve heard it in the background of thousands of videos on social media—a humbling reminder from poet and radio personality Josie Balka that what’s important in our lives now isn’t necessarily what’s important to us in the long run. I Hope You Remember, Josie’s first book of poetry, includes this poem and over eighty others, some previously published and others never shared before.

In his haunting and fearless debut, Ocean Vuong walks a tightrope of historic and personal violences, creating an interrogation of the American body as a borderless space of both failure and triumph. At once vulnerable and redemptive, dreamlike and visceral, compassionate and unforgiving, these poems seek a myriad existence without forgetting the prerequisite of self-preservation in a world bent on extinguishing its othered voices. Vuong's poems show, through breath, cadence, and unrepentant enthrallment, that a gentle palm on a chest can calm the most necessary of hungers.

I think Christian poetry is similar to prayer in that it focuses on the Love of Him who is Faithful and True. If we can write so many poems about love, why not write poetry for the One who is Love Himself? Why not seek love from whom it can be found?

If you are looking for religious poems, poems for God or poems of faith, this book is for you. May it lead you to the One who loves you most!

Con una voz íntima y valiente, la autora nos recuerda que el amor verdadero sí existe… aunque, a veces, llegue sin aviso, sin promesas, sin ruidos.

In The Rose, award-winning poet Ariana Reines navigates the intersection of power and surrender. Drawing on the history of "romance" as the troubadours knew it and the titular flower's ancient allegories for sexuality and mystery, Reines plunges into feminine archetypes to explore masculine pain: "I have always liked helpless / & terrible men because they break my mind."

At times playful, at times heartbreaking, When One World Ends, Another Begins is a raw, honest look at how it feels to be alive. On the surface, these poems are an examination of what it is to be human. Underneath, they’re an exploration of body image, fear, faith, and the ways life runs in circles.

The Flame Will Always Burn is a collection of very raw, heartfelt poems written in free verse that chronicles one young woman’s traumatic disappointment in love. Given the range and detail in which the trauma is recounted, she might well stand for every woman in such a predicament. The poems are written at a white hot heat, employing no niceties or euphemisms. The honesty and anguish of extreme disillusionment are not papered over and the writer is true to her raging feelings, resorting to none of the more acceptable attractive phraseology that usually tempers such poems.
