She Bang Slam is slam poetry by a young American poet, Erik Wackernagel, who created these poems for his slam performances over the past two years, in the United States and in Quebec, Canada. The first part of She Bang Slam is compiled of shorter “semi-automatic rhymes,” while section two is made up of Erik’s longer eleven part series, “Carnival of Words.” From the beginning to the end of She Bang Slam, Erik passionately questions the relationship between the contemporary use of “words” and the “images” that result. He does this by documenting how the “word-image has ...

When Greta Molina’s old friend Tiller offered her the job, a ten-day cattle drive across the Wyoming prairie from the ranching town of Ten Sleep, it sounded like a well-paid break. Three hundred and twenty cows and calves, two guys her age she’s known since college, and a few long days on an ATV will give her time to sort out the mess in her head. The canyon along the trail has a history, sure, but nature has a tendency toward violence. Greta can accept that, even if it makes her insides squirm.

For mothers, those rejected and those still in loving bonds. For women in ideal marriages and those struggling. For victims and those who love them. For health care workers advocating for others. A Bleeding Heart: Poetry of a Nurse was written with these and many other people in mind. Nati Carrillo’s own life experiences guided her to write and illustrate this book of poems. She has learned human beings are made to suffer because it is through these experiences that we learn to love, to give, to sacrifice. We are stronger than we know, but it is through weakness that we grow. A Bleeding ...

I’ve been in love with Oliver Brooks, my stoic and maddeningly handsome boss, for what feels like forever. Not that he’d ever know—he’s all sharp suits and cool professionalism, and I’m the overly ambitious assistant who can’t seem to stop babbling whenever he’s around. But when our office starts a Secret Santa exchange, I draw his name, and suddenly, I have a chance. A chance to show him how much he means to me without risking the fallout of confessing outright. Every gift I leave him is a little piece of my heart, wrapped up in ribbon and hope. What I didn’t expect was how...

Deportation Content is what happens when the line between citizen and outsider shifts overnight and nobody wants to admit they saw it coming. Sam was born on the right side of the border but ends up hiding like he never belonged at all. His dad said talking might save him. His girlfriend said caring might save him. Neither worked out. Now, somewhere between the last protest chant and the next knock on the door, Sam records the mess the way he remembers it: half sarcasm, half slow-motion horror show, and all American. There are no heroes here. Just people. And paperwork. And a country very ...

Entre el tintineo del hielo en el vaso y el eco de una despedida, los versos de Luis Ángel Cobos transitan por la melancolía ardiente de un amor que se bebe lento, que quema la garganta y deja su resaca en el alma. Este poemario es un viaje por la pasión, el desvelo y la embriaguez de los sentimientos más crudos, donde el amor no es solo caricia, sino también herida, recuerdo y destino. A través de versos desnudos, intensos y canallas, el autor nos sumerge en madrugadas sin retorno, en habitaciones donde la piel es testigo del deseo y en calles iluminadas por faroles que guardan ...

Del otro lado de las nubes, la pequeña ciudad de Davos, rodeada de montañas nevadas, amanecía blanca y billonaria aquel miércoles de enero. Ahí empezaban a llegar el 1% de los primates habladores más ricos y poderosos de la tribu humana. Los así llamados líderes globales.
