Book Description
Dominique Renda and Blake Horsleys Midnight Daydreams invites the reader on a journey through breathtaking and heartfelt landscapes of lives both recognizable and unforeseen. The authors candid poetic portraits offer compelling characters, and represent a deep slice of life, crystallizing moments, realizations, and dreams lost and found. Witty, heartbreaking, and inspiring, these poems affirm our humanity and rouse our spirit. Tales of a mothers feelings for her children, undying and impossible to suppress, a sons independent voice, a spry womans inquisitive perspective on time, an exhausted mans effort to reclaim it, veterans of war and adjustments, explorations of values and redemption, and the insight and passion of a creative life. Dominique Renda and Blake Horsley engage the reader in a conscious exploration of characters and poetic stories that bring us home. Transportive poetry. A moving collection. Truth and wonder artistically expressed in each characters authentic voice. Neal Menschel, Poet, Photojournalist A certain shared perspective. Is this commonality based in blood, in experience, in poetic sensibility? I find pondering these links and shadows enrich the overall effect of the work: each poem revealing both something about the subject as an individual and often as a part of a family, unique, yet related.

Book Description
Nestor Hyatt resides in LeFey, Louisiana, in a strange mansion she inherited from her dad. It is rich with strange history, where a wicked man named Marcio Demoni practiced a form of magic called Palo Mayombe, the darker side of Santeria. Sleepless nights torment Nestor, and she begins to wander the streets of LeFey. Then she discovers Midnight Town, a murky suburb of LeFey, a forgotten mill town just over an ancient covered bridge—a place of phantoms and an eccentric visionary. Despite cryptic warnings, she continues her journey through shadowy streets and discovers an offbeat tattoo parlor, owned by a man named Nicholas, someone she met on a train ride from New York City and back to LeFey. They develop a forbidden relationship, and Nicholas lures her deeper into his world of strange art and intoxicating desire. Eventually, she tries to breaks free of the madness. Will she succeed, or will she reside in the darkness of Midnight Town forever?

Book Description
Carol Shields, best known for her fiction writing, received both the Pulitzer Prize and the Governor General’s Award for Fiction for her novel The Stone Diaries. But she also wrote hundreds of poems over the span of her career. The Collected Poetry of Carol Shields includes three previously published collections and over eighty unpublished poems, ranging from the early 1970s to Shields’s death in 2003. In a detailed introduction and commentary, Nora Foster Stovel contextualizes these poems against the background of Shields’s life and oeuvre and the traditions of twentieth-century poetry. She demonstrates how poetry influenced and informed Shields’s novels; many of the poems, which constitute miniature narratives, illuminate Shields’s fiction and serve as the testing ground for metaphors she later employed in her prose works. Stovel delineates Shields’s career-long interest in character and setting, gender and class, self and other, actuality and numinousness, as well as revealing her subversive feminism, which became explicit in Reta Winter’s angry (unsent) letters in Unless and in the stories of poet Mary Swann and Daisy Goodwill in Swann and The Stone Diaries. The first complete collection of her poetry, this volume is essential for all readers of Carol Shields. Stovel’s detailed annotations, based on research in the Carol Shields fonds at Library and Archives Canada, reveal the poems in all their depth and resonance, and the dignity and consequence they afford to ordinary people.

Book Description
If all my thoughts can be captured, then I will be a photographer, if all that I see in this world is as straight forward, then I will live a simple life, if I understand all that I heard and all the thoughts coming in and out of my head, then I won't be a poet. This is a collection of poems that most people can relate to about everyday life events - love, life, death, animals, family amongst others. These poems are as fictional and factual, and hence complex, a glimpse into my life and yours.
