Plant Voices

Poetry by Gary Fincke

"These poems pay attention to the speech and gestures of steelworkers, coal miners, and factory employees. They include the wives and children of these men, bristling with heritage and family. Plant Voices amplifies the figurative language of wildflowers and mills, listening closely to the messages of these varied 'plants.'" 64 pages. 0-9620251-4-3 / Pbk. / acid-free paper / $7.95

"Poems from a very hard street. Kearns immortalizes the voiceless and the weird, while damning the culture that produces them. But there is also humor and fears, wisdom and light, flowers and steel in his creative equation." 49 pages / 1-879294-03-6 / Pbk. / acid-free paper / $10

A Gathering of Smoke

Prose-Poem by
Kerry Shawn Keys

The seeming chaos of A Gathering of Smoke is, in fact, an intricate personal philosophy that mirrors man's shifting perception of reality in the 20th Century." First edition from Writer's Workshop Books, Calcutta/Cloth; 232 pages/ $28; U.S. edition 0-89410-622-8 / Pbk. / 264 pages / $15.00

No Time For Miracles

Poems by Jack Veasey

"These poems are sensitive portrayals of the struggles of the working poor, drawn from Veasey's childhood days in the Kensington section of Philadelphia. It is a neighborhood full of wonderful characters. The underlying message of his 'Poor Man's Poetry' is that 'you can be poor and have a rough life and essentially have dignity.'" 64 pages. 0-9620251-1-9 / Pbk. / acid-free paper / $6.95 IN STOCK
