Kenneth Croslin has written his family's personal stories in this collection that covers 100 years from 1910 until 2010.

"You can tell that Darlene Franklin-Campbell is a poet right from the get-go. Her descriptions are so evocative they just sing off the page. This bittersweet tale of a poor Kentucky family and their loves and losses is told by Nochipa (Chippie) whose father is Mexican and whose mother is white. Racial tensions from both within the family and in the wider community run high. But somehow the family survives and comes through it all despite the odds. I Listened, Momma isn’t the sort of novel where everything is all tied up at the end with a pretty little bow. A cousin is suspected of causing a death but escapes the justice he probably deserves. Central characters pass away. This isn’t a sugar-coated reality, but authentic and honest; something of a modern day Little Women. If the quality of the story-telling alone wasn’t sufficient to persuade you that this book is worth buying, all author proceeds are being donated to Relay for Life in honor of her own father…." --- Kate Blackman Editorial Services

Literary

No Sweat has painted a portrait of a man caught in the web of his times, a victim turned survivor, a player in the eponymous reality show of hand-to-mouth grubbing and a victor who has circumvented conventionality and apparent destiny to become a psychical congregate of paradoxical array. More than just being entertained, I learned from this book and felt immersed in its singular culture, as though I had spent years exploring his world. It has the distinguishing earmarks of a masterpiece-vibrant plot, memorable characters, bucolic setting, with the personal touch of the sensitive diarist. H is an intuitive and imaginative author par excellence. I give this new work by No Sweat my highest recommendation, both as a licensed therapist and voracious reader. I look forward to seeing future offerings by this exciting new author. Sara L. Griffith, LMFT

These Precious Days

Sweat, No

Time and space, desire and loss, memory and consciousness, culture and nature---all the things that matter most in this life are alive and thriving in this lovely new collection by Rob Merritt.   “Any life, precisely described, is a work of art,” Merritt writes.  Through images both unsettling and expansive, and music elegant and elegiac, his poems mimic the rhythms of all our precisely-described lives.   This is a collection you’ll want to take along on your journeys, for it functions as a kind of metaphysical road atlas, a tour guide of heart and mind.                   -- Michael Parker, author of                  The Watery Part of the World

McLaughlin's poems are places with felt presences in them. Her poems' evocative imagery, her masterful concreteness invites you into them, and the poems engagingly haunt you after you have read them and think you have put them away. You haven't.
