love at gunpoint:
nila northSun's poems are written with emotional
honesty and biting elegance; they embrace her tribal identity and
confront the challenges of being a contemporary American woman. Her
poems are a confession of the extremes of her life: the highs of a
first kiss - the lows of coming home to an empty house. They tell how
it feels to hold a rebellious child, to wait too long for a too late
lover and to miss a tomorrow that is already gone. They tell what it
is to love at gunpoint.
Praise for love at gunpoint |

tiny teeth,
the Wormwood Review poems:
Ann Menebroker's – tiny teeth, the Wormwood Review poems, chronicles the challenges of a young woman as she struggles, fights and loves her way through a decade and a half of life. The poems are tough, soft, bold, shy, playful and often sensual to the point of being erotic. Ann caresses the moments of her life with a language so honest and a voice so clear that you can feel the warmth of her breath on the page. These poems remain as relevant today as when first written – a testament to the wisdom of Marvin Malone's editorial judgment and the strength of Menebroker's work.

Introduction by Ann Menebroker.
Roxy:
Roxy is After Hours Poetry; when the lights go down and the memory of last call has faded into the exhaled smoke of a bummed cigarette - Roxy comes to life. The poems are rooted in the street, caress (no Slam!) the frailties of the human relationship, lean toward the erotic and show that honest poetry, feelings and emotions, cannot be confined by political correctness. In fact, Roxy is not a politically correct collection. Cirillo, Gainer and Staple don't tell those gentle lies.
