First things first, the cover is something to look at, twice. Simple, yet full of texture and vibrancy it comes off as something thought-out and identifies the book. The second thing that I loved was the title: "For Poetry's Sake", both for the implication and the pun (I assume). Once you open the book there... Continue Reading →

Shadow Folk and Soul Songs (The review)
Shadow Folk and Soul Songs is nothing more, nothing less than a rhymed revolution. A call of pride. A shout to remember the value and the strength of all Negroes, the African-American culture and a screeching appeal to the understanding of a nation as a whole. This short, very well woven work is powerful and... Continue Reading →

Have you ever read a book that you wished it never ended? Yes? Then this is another one.

A simple, "shy" but yet, necessary title that remind us of our humanity, makes us appreciate life and the little details of the usual more by giving... Continue Reading →
The Wrath of Storms By Steven Mckinnon (A review).
All of us have read at least a couple of book series that start off great and fade as the pages roll, and the longer a book is, the higher are the chances of it falling into this deadly trap. Fortunately for you, this isn’t the case. With Wrath of Storms, Steven Mckinnon not only... Continue Reading →
Why you as a writer should demand recycled paper printing.
1 - You will save trees. A lot of them. Did you know that 80%+ of all the presses still manufacture books with virgin pulp? Yes, that’s right. By publishing your book normally, you are helping global warming escalate and motivating presses to keep on ordering the cut down of trees, for no good reason.... Continue Reading →
