NEW
Memento Tsunami, Vasiliki Katsarou’s first collection of poetry, is available from Ragged Sky Press. Memento Tsunami is a collection marked by startling abstract and lyrical poems that draw from a wide variety of cultural influences. These include her Greek heritage, background in European filmmaking, as well as a childhood among the ghosts of New England Transcendentalism. Katsarou’s work reflects a nostalgia for origins as well as a 21st-century visionary impulse to reconcile disparate worlds.

I Should Have Given Them Water
I Should Have Given Them Water is a sensual and heartbreaking new collection of poetry by San Francisco-based poet Eileen Malone. With a maximalist style, Malone’s hard-edged poems make the most of grammatical ambiguities and compel the reader to fully engage with her unique sense of the incongruous. Offering feminine as well as feminist testimony to the experience of being a woman in the 21st century, Malone is a widely published poet, mental health activist and the host of a television series on the arts in California.
