Poetry Text & Anthologies

This collection by Lindy Warrell has no pretensions other than to invite readers to dance to the tune of a curious mix of words held together by the absence of form: free verse. Each poem strikes a mood with variations from serious or dark to light and funny. Some are wise, others nonsensical with the overall aim to entertain.

"a long exposure of undoing" is the first poetry chapbook published by Sarah "Sam" Saltiel.

From the afterword: 'All of us are wrapped in our stories-in the prosaic and exquisite, in ordinary moments and complex relationships, in our history and our present lives. We are clothed in hope and loss, in happiness and sorrow, in anger and fear, in love and yearning. We all wear the common garment of humanity.

This is a book of stories and poems. They are about not knowing how, not going places, and not remembering a very important thing. They are about spaghetti, shoes that might be alive, and stealing frying pans.
