New Book! Circus Dancer by Beate Sigriddaughter

 

From Circus Dancer: "Tentative, contemplative. If she were a candle, she would want to burn, not merely stand tall and unlit in graceful uselessness, decorative, devotional, and always a promise. She is not a candle. Still, she believes it is time to burst into flame instead of just skimming the edges of importance."

From Beate Sigriddaughter: “Words are my passion and, with many wise folk before me, I believe that they are a significant tool for building a world of sanity, honor, and peace. I am especially passionate about having women’s voices heard, read, and validated in our off-kilter world.”

Beate Sigriddaughter is the author of several novels, collections of poetry and other writings. Her most recent poetry collections are Wild Flowers (2022), Kaleidoscope (2021), Emily (2020) and Dancing in Santa Fe (2019).

New Book! In the Eyes of by Duane Anderson

In the Eyes of Morning

I get up every day,

while others

still lie asleep.

They roll over in bed,

mumbling under their breath,

“You joker,

go back to bed.”

In this new book of poetry, Duane writes through the eyes of 120 different items, people, and creatures. You'll learn how a dog, a can of pork and beans, a pair of shoes, a tomato plant, a doorknob, and 114 others. Laugh, cry, and howl with glee as you read this poetry!

Duane Anderson is the author of The Life of an Ordinary Man (2025), Family Portraits (2024), Conquer the Mountains (2022), On the Corner of Walk and Don’t Walk (2021),and The Blood Drives: One Pint Down (2021).
