Actual Tigers, Author William Crawford's second collection of
poetry, is a thing of alchemy, more journey than tale. The poems of
this collection have a unique pulse and purpose. The keen use of
language, musicality and cinematic imagery is articulate and
sophisticated. Actual Tigers is more than a book, Crawford has
brought to life something far more important than simply writing
great poetry. As a storyteller his poems and the overall
sentimentality of Actual Tigers unleashes in the reader something
imperative and reminds us of the importance of living "In the
Depths of Something Good" while we still have the chance.

Gloria Wimberley's debut volume of poetry, Dialect of Dahlias, is
artistically off-the-beaten path at inky indigo of twilight (where
fairies tiptoe and satyrs skip) deep in the ethereal, sylvan
recesses of our psyche, a creative forest unto itself. Via her
versifying, moonlight can be pure and cleansing, or as painfully
incriminating as a brand on flesh. Both the nocturnal and diurnal
rhythms of Life are explored in her 3 distinct poetic styles:
narrative, surrealistic, and blended--Pick a "Lily" or embrace a
"Leper" in her fanciful forest. Serious readers of 21st century
poetry will discover that the various personas speaking in Dialect
of Dahlias are assuredly magical, mesmerizing, and meaningful.
"Fine lines define/this road map upon my face/a highway of
information/stored in each and every turn." Thus begins the title
poem of Alicia Winski's, "Running On Fumes." The lines to which the
poet refers are hard-won truths, shared with a gritty passion and
honesty that makes this collection nearly impossible to put down.
If you read these poems and find yourself asking questions like,
"How did she know?" and "who let her inside my life?," you are not
alone. The experiences of which Winski writes so insightfully are
truly universal. From 'Looking Glass': "I've given little to the
men/who would love me and/everything to the men who would not."
Although nearly all of the poems are penned from a feminine,
first-person point of view, their scope is not limited to female
experience - the pain and frustration they convey will resonate
with male audiences as well. Men of all ages will find either their
pain or their behavior (or both) on these pages; there is ample
fodder here for self-examination and reflection. These poems are
raw, unmasked indictments, from which no one is immune. In the
course of her journey from abject despair through heartbreak and
disillusionment to eventual acceptance, Winski addresses all of the
demons that have preyed upon her and calls them by their rightful
names, even when she must reveal her own weaknesses and
vulnerabilities in doing so. "Running On fumes," is a poetic
exercise in courage and an inspiration to anyone making the journey
from pain to wisdom." Rich Follett for Readers Favorites
