Sabrina Benaim, author of Depression & Other Magic Tricks, has connected deeply with readers and reached millions of viewers through her poetry, breaking down the stigma around mental illness. Now, she dives into challenging and universal territory: grief over a relationship’s end, loneliness in a world under lockdown, and the anxiety of caring for a loved one from afar in the wake of a serious diagnosis.

The Shatter Between Heartbeats is not a poetry collection. It is a psychological event. A descent into the raw architecture of the human mind, where trauma is not described but embodied-where anxiety tightens like a vice, depression seals every exit, and survival is carved line by line without anesthesia. Written by E. T. Vale and edited by Amir Kapoor, this groundbreaking anthology explores the lived experience of mental illness through twenty-four unflinching, interconnected poems.

With Tripas, Brandon Som follows up his award-winning debut with a book of poems built out of a multicultural, multigenerational childhood home, in which he celebrates his Chicana grandmother, who worked nights on the assembly line at Motorola, and his Chinese American father and grandparents, who ran the family corner store.

Step into the world of Hearthkeeper, a series of traditional poetry chapbooks that carry you — through love, loss, and memory — toward hope and hard-won wisdom. In Identity, the second chapbook in the series, you’ll hear poems that explore life events (childhood, illness, moving, sorrow and loss, self-respect, promises, relationships, achievement) and how they shape who we are and who we are becoming. Tender and luminous, each piece opens a space for reflection and self-discovery.

Adojuru is a map of memory, longing, and becoming-a collection of poems that unravel the journey of self through scattered moments, quiet reckonings, and the slow work of piecing oneself back together.

With a voice both lyrical and unflinching, Sandra Okuboyejo writes of longing, self-reclamation, and the fragile, powerful act of being known.

A Hidden Garden is Whitley Strieber's first book of poetry. Whitley has been writing poems for many years, but previously only shared them with friends. This book contains poems he has written since 1980, but most of them were written since 2015. Just one of the poems, "Somebody Kissed Me," directly refers to his experiences with the otherworldly presence he calls the visitors, but it eloquently expresses the power and mystery of this very special part of his life.

Despite William Shakespeare being regarded as the most significant figure in the Western literary canon, relatively little is known about his early life and his later ‘lost years’. Even the exact date of his birth is uncertain. 23rd April generally accepted to be the date of his birth, could be a scholarly mistake amplified by the coincidence of it also being the date of his death. His iconic status now spans global literature and stems directly from the magnitude of his plays, both tragedies and comedies, and his poetry which is often cited as some of the greatest love poetry ever written.

This book is a personal account of an individual life from the inside out. Living through these 24 thousand days and nights have taken form as a collection of emotional rants, stories, and perspectives.

Cyclists 'looking at each other' during a race is generally taken by commentators to be a portent of disaster. But why? Bike-racers, after all, are mostly young and easy on the eye. This epic recycling of the Orpheus myth unearths the dark legend behind the mystery of mutual admiration and shows why it is that, since the very ancient of days, riders have been encouraged, on pain of defeat (or worse), to keep their eyes modestly lowered and forwardly directed. And it does it in rhyming couplets.

Whispers of Grace: A Devotional Poetry Journal is my sacred invitation to reflect, heal, and create. These poems were born from hospital rooms and family legacy, from divine encounters and quiet moments of surrender. They carry my journey of faith, resilience, and creative worship.

Feel the guilt a twin feels for his lost sibling, or how it feels being a young child growing up in a Jim Crow state.

Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is perhaps the best-known Arthurian romance in the English language. Its story is well-known: New Year celebrations at Camelot are disrupted by the fearsome and strange appearance of the Green Knight who challenges Arthur's court to a game consisting of an exchange of blows; the Green Knight's survival of the beheading that ensues locks Sir Gawain into a commitment to receive a return blow a year later, bound by his honor to fulfill the terms of the game.

New Hampshire features Frost's meditations on rural life, love, and death, delivered in the voice of a soft-spoken New Englander. Critics have long marveled at the poet's gift for capturing the speech of the region's natives and his realistic evocations of the area's landscapes. This compilation, first published in 1923, earned Frost the first of his four Pulitzer Prizes and includes several of his best-known poems: "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening", "Nothing Gold Can Stay", and "Fire and Ice".
