Elaine Cohen, Midnight Bus to Oaxaca www.ElaineCohenGallery.comMidnight Bus to Oaxaca: An Introduction The poems in the collection were written over the last two decades. Some came all at once, dropping like manna, others took years to finish and polish. Together they form a lyric memoir about a time in my life when I needed to reckon my losses and possibilities. Reading Jack Keruoac's On the Road at age thirteen set me on a restless path of traveling – by hitchhike, bus, car, train, subway, airplane – it didn't matter, as long as I got to where I was going. In retrospect I see that it was all about the journey. Slowing down in one place, such as Oaxaca, Mexico where many worlds mingle and collide, I began to gain enough perspective to envision this slim volume of poems.

Hank Fisher - "Jackets in my Closet" www.hankfisher.com/About the collection: "Each jacket in my front closet possesses a unique story that was conceived by me or represents a particular event or circumstance in which I was a witness or participant. Jackets have not been drawn into my life by accident or coincidence. There seems to be a metaphysical link that either reveals the perfect jacket at the perfect moment, or at least creates the appropriate situation for one-on-one introductions between myself and the next jacket entering my life."

Many are deeply personal. You will laugh and cry. You might ask, why now? The serious health issues my husband and I weathered the past few years and certainly the Covid-19 crisis gave me a sense of urgency. We witnessed our world turn upside down practically overnight. Life is fragile and uncertain, but time keeps flowing like sand in a runaway hourglass. Hold tight and accompany me on my roller coaster ride of self-discovery. I think you will learn something about yourself as well.

Frieda Landau - "In the Shadow of the Shoa" www.amazon.com/In-Shadow-Shoah-Frieda-Landau-ebook/dp/B008257VXOAbout the book: "Some of these poems touch on experiences that many of us have never known, remembrances of one of the darkest times of human history and those who were lost in the Holocaust and the damage wrought on those who survived. Other poems bring to us the immigrant experience, the wonders and woes of a new land and learning its ways. I smiled as the poet described her love of vocal music, from rock to Schubert to Gershwin, and how her own singing voice doesn't measure up to the words and music, to her dismay. And I wept as she laments her lost love and their happy life together. These poems do what good poetry should do, allows us to experience emotions that the poet experienced first hand."
