My Eclipsed Star
by Colleen Griffith
In My Eclipsed Star, poet Colleen Griffith invites readers on the intimate and intense journey of trying to grow her family. Griffith takes the reader's hand through the landscapes of the longing, daydreaming, and heartbreak many families go through to have a baby with fertility treatments. With a voice that both screams at and begs the gods, she captures the essence of a tumultuous journey through grief and false acceptance to healing and hope that her family will find their would-be baby, their little star.
From passionate poetic prose to biting verses, each poem in this collection takes the reader out of a dark depression into the light. Griffith's evocative imagery creates a tapestry of raw emotions on her family's journey that will linger in the reader's mind long after the last page is turned.
Title Goes Here:
Adventures in Foolishness
by Dewy
Have you been craving something... aberrant?
Title Goes Here is a foolish adventure via a collection of curious stories and unusual styles. Through your journey, you will follow a fool's path to exile, hear from presidential candidate Sally McBride, and even learn how to be invisible.
First on your itinerary is a section of existential poetry that includes a sobering look at the true cost of watches and war. Next are five short stories that range from mildly funny to so abjectly bleak they warrant a trigger warning. Lastly, you are walked through original spells that provide an eclectic viewpoint of magical concepts such as summonings, immortality and the aforementioned invisibility in a surprisingly applicable and practical manner. Together, your expedition is one of disillusionment.
It is my hope that you will be a more foolish person after having read Title Goes Here.
“Dewy’s flair for humor and an existential bleakness unify into fresh, unpredictable fiction.”
