Stop cutting yourself short: You must wear your crown at all times. If you were waiting on someone to give it to you, Dear Woman is here to inform you that you can give it to yourself. Every woman is a queen, especially you. Put your crown on and get ready to rule.

Take a journey: No one has just one page in their life story. That\'s why Dear Woman has everything--quotes, letters, short stories, and poems to educate, motivate, encourage, and provide a little tough love. This open letter is just as multi-faceted and inspirational as you are.

Want the best for yourself: Michael E. Read wrote this book because he wants nothing more than for you to be the best woman possible, regardless of circumstance.

No, this inspirational open letter, full of poetry and wisdom, is life advice just for you.

Do it for you: You are an amazing woman. Deep down, you know that. Dear Woman isn\'t here to tell you that you need to improve. Rather, it\'s here to tell you that you can be your true self--for yourself. This is the life advice you need, because you deserve to thrive for no other reason than the fact that you are a woman.

Dear Woman was written in hopes of shedding a little light and love. Let it add some brightness to your life. After reading this book, you will:

• Love yourself whole-heartedly
• Know that you deserve the best
• Be confident regardless of what life throws at you

In Eye of the Beholder, the author takes us on a journey from the rural life of horse-drawn carriages to a technological age of jet planes and rockets to the moon. Ephraim J. Stockwell wrote his first poem in his teens when he left home. He left home, but his heart remained there with his family, friends, and neighbors. He has written poetry over the years that is simple, touching, and unique. Love of life, love of home, and love of country has influenced much of it. The author is a World War II veteran. After college, having majored in Physics, opportunities in his career led to an important role in putting a man on the moon at NASA Headquarters in Washington, D.C.

If you want a better understanding of what happened in the wake of George Floyd's unnecessary death, take a look at Deborah Turner's unflinching debut collection of poems, Sweating It Out.

In Sweating, Turner shows us the work behind discovering and breaking the rules of engagement, whether in community, family, love, or sports. Each poem, at face value, plays in a different arena--basketball, softball, tennis. Yet collectively, they stand as evidence revealing how the strength needed for real life has its roots in play. Hallowed traditions like call and response ("Double Dutch") and the blues ("Coming Down") score throughout Sweating. The mid-way poem, "Time Out," offers a thought-provoking break. But in the end, the triumphant "When I Rise" gives hope to anyone still struggling and a testament to those whose early struggles to cultivate change ("Juneteenth") make it possible to keep playing.

Early praise for this original and fresh collection of sports poetry describes Turner's work as a model and mentor text, and true to form you can find her own reading and discussion guide and more about her and her works at www.deborahturner.online.

Poetry readers are alert for ways to make the complex and distressing accessible and understandable. 2020 is awash with questions, uncertainty, and change. Let Sweating It Out help you work through your questions.

Motive & Opportunity is principally located in Los Angeles, where the poet has lived and worked since 1968. The five pieces collected here are various attempts at poetic language trying to settle in this metropolitan sprawl of contradictions. Or as Carey McWilliams called it in his seminal Southern California: an Island on the Land, "very much a city that refuses to know itself." From 'Driving Platitudes' and 'The Grid, ' both written while driving across the seemingly endless metropolis, to the most recent 'Motive & Opportunity, ' a detective poem, this book moves around Vangelisti's almost native city, leaving a trail of affections and casual encounters.

Black Girl Flesh is a collection of poems, quotes, and micro-essays written by Maud Alcorn. This work was written as a reminder, response, and out of necessity. A reminder that as she is, she is enough. A response to those who try to use her magic against her. Necessary work that archives her continuous healing. Though written from her own perspective, she hopes that people, most importantly Black girls, can still see themselves and feel affirmed by each piece. Though light-filled, there are still parts that appear as dark. Know that these pieces were written at a time after she found her own light, so they still can light up pathways back home. Maud knows that many Black girls, just like her, have gone through periods where they lost everything, internally and externally. It is not easy to be, especially boldly and unapologetically, a Black girl, so she wrote something that holds us in ways we need, but often don't get. She hopes this work reminds us that even if we have nothing but our bodies, our magic, and our flesh, that we will always be more than enough.

In The Calculus of Imaginaries, Gerard Grealish explores in poetry not only the elusive and transitory aspects of the physical world, but also our misperceptions of what "reality" is and the ramifications of discovering that it is otherwise, and largely unknowable. Within the uncertainties of such inner and outer worlds there emerges alternately from time to time a litany of anger, frustration, sorrow, guilt, pain, tragedy, and death, but also love and beauty. Addressing El Niño, the climate phenomenon, as if it were indeed a child, Grealish asks in the poem "El Niño 1997," "Whose child are you anyway?" and receives in Spanish the answer "I don't know! I don't know!" finding the child's words and inflections paradoxically beautiful. Such paradoxes abound as Grealish takes the reader in five sections through the "Imaginary Roots" of things and people, their existence as "Infinitesimals," "The Transfer Principle" that often reshapes them, the "Impossible Conditions" they are confronted with, and the "Transcendent Curves" that take them to another place. Grealish's poetry in this volume metaphorically reenacts Webster's definition of the book's abstractly mathematical title, to wit: "a method of investigating the nature of imaginary quantities required to fulfill apparently impossible conditions, using √-1 [the square root of negative one] as a unit."

Ingram probably means "Ing's ram"-Ing who was the euhemeristic man-deity of early Europeans and for whom English was given its name--the ram our well known head-butting friend. These poems are sacrificial like her last name: filled with a divine light, and blood.

Robin Wyatt Dunn, author of Black Heart Uprising

Laura Ingram's Mirabilis moves quietly and fiercely into the age of painful transitions from adolescence to young womanhood. Childhood is reminisced, the hard indignities of body expectations, boys snapping young women's bras, friends committing suicide too young, reflections in store windows of an early and young body with pools of clothing falling around a young girl because of her eating disorder. Yet there is an equally strong determination to survive, the act of Ingram's language itself seeking to rise above self-destruction. In the quietness of these poems is the love and honesty of self-recognition, a portrayal of pain yet the resistance of a survivor.

Josh Barkan, author of Mexico: Stories

Ingram's work hits close to home, bringing to life realities that some may deem to harsh to acknowledge with a grace and eloquence far beyond her years. What she has created here with Mirabilis is incredible, heart-wrenching in the best way, a piece of her soul bared to the world, and those who read this will find a sort of brutal honesty in her words, reminding us in a timeless manner to look past the surface. Despite the fact that I cried more than once while reading this, I still hold firm the belief that it was for the best, as it invoked emotions that I usually do not care to admit having.

Inexhaustible Offering brings luminous joy and reflection to those who have walked the paths of Lincoln Park. The poems provide illumination as well for those who have never watched the waves of Lake Michigan nor seen the shimmering skyscrapers of Chicago.

In her quietly moving poems, Carolyn Kelley Williams celebrates nuances of Lake Michigan with insight and gratitude. Her poems remind us to bless our home with song. To look, and look again, and give ourselves over to the mystery of familiar nature. Each offering arises from the lake and from the poet in a lyric dance, with readers the lucky recipients.

The author's love affair with nature and beauty pour from every finely crafted line. Her senses drink in each detail, sharing what the natural world is straining to tell us if we would but open to listen.

This outpouring of prayer-poems comes to us in a dark time, medicine for what ails us.

This book, from a seasoned poet, stirs deep, nourishes us. Turn the pages. Take your time. Don't miss this experience.

A journey through the seasons is exquisitely revealed in this lovely confluence of poetry and paintings.
