"Nude Male with Echo", Darren C. Demaree's latest collection is now available for Pre-Order - 25% off
Darren C. Demaree’s collection Nude Male with Echo examines and challenges male vanity, power, and expectation. While exploring the place of his gender in this world, Demaree’s attempt to expand upon the expectations of “what makes a man”, while drilling down into the artistic framework provided by the body and aging provides a new landscape for these modern questions. Nude Male with Echo, Demaree’s thirteenth full-length collection, utilizes fresh language, energy, and abstraction to confront the typical arcs of his gender’s role in society. These poems drag and batter “maleness” into what it is, a failing qualifier, and leaves us with the hope that it can be much more that what it has been in the past.
75 pages | 5" x 8" | ISBN 978-1-926716-56-5 (pbk.) | US $13.99; CAD $16.99; UK £10.99 | Info Sheet: pdf, jpg

Founded in 2013 by poet, author, educator and journalist, Loren Kleinman, and by Romanian-born poet and translator, Claudia Serea; NTM is a celebration of translation throughout the month of September.
Language is a way to express the human experience, yet it also presents communication barriers. With the efforts of accomplished translators, however, those barriers can be overcome to foster artistic unity across linguistic boundaries.

"Through Shadows Slow" by Abraham Boyarsky Available for Pre-Order 20% off
Daniel is in the twilight of his life, tormented by doubts, of cuckolding, an illegitimate son, his late wife’s ‘dissolute’ nature, the horrors of war and the inanity of all human activity. A miraculous childhood survivor of the Nazi prison camps, Daniel is shipped to Canada after the war, a refugee and an orphan. Processed in Montreal and diagnosed with TB, Daniel is sent to the renowned Sainte-Agathe hospital in the Laurentian Mountains where the clear air might benefit his health. During his recovery, Daniel meets his future wife, Gilla, and must deal with memories of the war, the promises he’s made to dead relatives and how to fit the happiness and love he finds in Sainte-Agathe amidst all the horror he’s suffered. Driven by insurmountable convictions about Gilla’s infidelity, he very nearly ruins their lives. Now at the end of it all, Daniel must make a pilgrimage to Masada and memory in the hope of finding truth and redemption.
