Poetry
Poets: Laura Harrison McBride and Alex Small
From New York to Cornwall
Cow-Tipping and the Deep Blue sea
The Luminous Shadow of the Muse
Time on a Greased Toboggan
A book of poems that traverses the poet's life in New York which later became life in Cornwall, UK. It makes sense of the wide gulf between always cogent NYC and always bucolic Cornwall in a way that fills the soul, no matter which place is under discussion, dissection and often, revelation.

Sometimes, life revolves around something odd, something outside one's experience. Something one never even considered. A nosebleed that lasted two days, and required the chief consultant and the head nurse. And yet, the author being something of a Druid helped. Still, there was a luminous shadow, revealed in prose poems about essential moments in our lives.

"It must be nice to have no mentality at all..." according to a lament in this little book that traverses the breadth of human experience post-Brexit and during Trump, while the world, regardless of your position on the medians of human life, goes thump in the night and thuds like another painful brick on your toe in the morning. And yet, there is hope. Even post-contagion. "Give me a smart nurse over Big Pharma any day."

New Poetry by A Small
The Mortal Remains
Mr. Small is busy at the moment doing live performances of his work. When he takes a break, we will get to work getting it out to you.
A new collection of poetry by Laura Harrison McBride.
Taking a look back at the recent 'plague years' and before and after, this small tome reveals what went on during that horrible time, personally and to the society in which we live.
Doom and gloom?
No, but the poet leads a path through what's gone on to a hopeful future, up to and including a vignette or two of people 'caught in the act' of being fully human.
