The brilliant scientist Portage McPeeve does not want to take over the world.

He’s discovered a way to travel the stars, using them as gateways into other realities. With his Gateway Manipulator, he hopes to rule all the worlds of the multi-verse with an iron fist. However, when his beloved kitten becomes lost through the machine, he does not hesitate to cast plans for multi-world domination aside; instead, he follows her through the cosmos – encountering zombies, higher education for Supers, Greek gods, and killer ninjas along the way.

Will Portage find Mrs. Bumblefrost before it’s too late?

Bryant Park Poems by Gary Beck

Published July 18, 2021

Chapbook - 24 pages - 5" x 8" - ISBN: 979-8539674052

I couldn’t find a dry spot
to sleep at night
and my cardboard bed
got soaked,
so I threw it away.
Maybe if I’m lucky
I’ll find a dry doorway
where no one will bother me,
but I’ve never been lucky.
If it rains for forty days
and forty nights
I’ll probably drown,
but so will everyone else.

— Homeless III

Poemaholic by Azriel Johnson (2nd Edition)

Published January 25, 2021

Hi, I'm Azriel and I'm a poemaholic.
I've been intoxicated now for 15 years.
Some years more word drunk than others,
but always with a pencil close by
and paper to spill words onto...

 

Only Available on Kindle!

He thinks "the best way to avoid writer's block is to write the stuff you don't want to write just as much as the stuff you do want to write. This will keep your mind limber and your pen light."

***This edition contains updated and complete versions of three poems from the original Poemaholic released by the Poet's Haven.***

bore for the sale barn - Wanda Morrow Clevenger

Published January 25, 2021

Chapbook - 41 pages, 5" x 8", ISBN: 979-8599253525

some letters
on my keyboard
have lapsed into coma
the q and x and 3
and Cap Lock

I pound on their
little chests,
a distraught surgeon
desperate to
resurrect
their little deaths

Wanda Morrow Clevenger wrote eight poems in a handful of months in 1974; thirty-four years later she returned to writing. She has since placed over 467 pieces of work in 158 print and electronic literary journals and anthologies.

In August of 2013, while compiling the manuscript for this book she fell ill with pancreatitis, further complicated by necrosis in the following nine months, and wasn’t expected to survive. One year later, almost to the day, she sat down to finish where the hogs ate the cabbage.

She has her husband to thank for the title.
