Pietri Diaz; introduction by Sandra Maria Esteves; and an afterword by Jaime “Shaggy” Flores. Edited by Gabrielle David and Kevin E. Tobar Pesántez, with translations by Adam Wier, Carolina Fung Feng, and Marjorie González. Cover Art: Jaime “Shaggy” Flores. Available on Kobo, Kindle and Nook.
Brassbones & Rainbows, The Collected Works of Shirley Bradley LeFlore
Brassbones & Rainbows is the debut poetry collection of Shirley Bradley LeFlore, an oral poet and performance artist from St. Louis, Missouri who has been in the literary scene for over five decades. LeFlore’s poetry weaves the fabric of verse through jazz, blues and gospel in an easy going, smooth and soothing Southern American dialect mixed with African American vernacular that will certainly roll off your tongue. With a foreword by Amina Baraka and introduction by Gabrielle David, this collection also includes historical photos of LeFlore and other prominent poets and writers. Available on Kobo, Kindle and Nook.
Broke Baroque by Tony Medina
Broke Baroque is the third in a series of Broke Books by award-winning poet, Tony Medina, who articulates Broke’s erratic experiences on the streets of Any City, USA. Through tall tales, anecdotes, rants and jokes, Medina portrays Broke’s anger, fear, humility and resolve that conveys his marginalization in a grossly unaccommodating society. Funny and perversely sharp, whimsical and impassioned, Broke Baroque is compulsively readable and will connect with fiction and poetry lovers alike. Available on Kobo, Kindle and Nook.
