In Temporary Yes, Kat Dixon's debut full-length collection, her unique and fresh voice are on full display. Dixon's is poetry that defies categorization, at once whimsical and confessional. "Kat Dixon's poems slip across time and geography, accumulating scraps of textures, strange weather, secret sensations, and woven sounds with forms "twice phantomed" by light and its shadow. They are stories of the body: glittering, soft, brave, broken, necessary and commanding in their dizzying wonder." -Molly Brodak, author of A Little Middle of the Night

"Amdahl is one whose gifts are staggering and hard won. The stories relate, by the way of guts through grace, the wholeness of a novel too good for philosophy. Gary Amdahl knows sports, men, women, and dogs, thank God, so thoroughly as to make them myth. Camus comes to mind, thought with great muscle." --Barry Hannah

The Intimidator Still Lives in Our Hearts

Amdahl, Gary

The year is 2112. Jack Lightning runs an illegal immigration theme park in Arizona, not far from the Mexican border. While preparing for an annual fair on the grounds of his park, his ex-girlfriend shows up with a stranger who asks for help smuggling a real illegal alien into the country--the clone of Che Guevara.

In the footsteps of Charles Bukowski comes Hosho McCreesh's magnum opus of drunk poetry. Mammoth in size and scope, the gritty poetry of A Deep &amp; Gorgeous Thirst is unlike any of McCreesh's previous collections. This is epic poetry for people who don't like poetry, by one of todays undiscovered Irish American poets.

"Ken took a book published by a big publisher, carved out a space for himself, and filled it with his words. It was a book safe that saved words, that kept them safe. The children of his mind." -From the preface by Derek McCormack
