A Tree and Gone by Terence Culleton (FutureCycle Press) (4 Reviews)    Price verified 51 minutes ago

The locales for these sonnets are those of modern America: shopping malls, a boardwalk fudge shop, bookstores, parks, intersections, beaches, housing subdivisions, highway overpasses. Wherever he finds himself, Culleton confronts the mystery of who we all are, what we have become. True to the sonnet's roots in the songs of the troubadours, the musicality of these poems resonates even as the language remains colloquial. Culleton's mastery of the form is such that each sonnet reads as naturally as any free verse poem. Unlike much unmetered poetry, though, they seem also to want to be read aloud. While any one of these poems can be "gotten" in one read, all of them bear up under re-reading, yielding further nuances of sound and significance. Each is an epiphany, large or small, to be gone back to again and again for what, in Robert Frost's words, poetry offers: "A momentary stay against confusion."

He's in Elizabethean England, where the up-and-coming playwright who is the subject of Paul's thesis is working on a new play: The Merchant of Venice. Shakespeare has nothing personal against Jews. But a former Portuguese Jew named Roderigo Lopez has been accused of trying to poision the queen and the country is furious. With Shakespeare's manager and the theatre-going mob demanding a new play that will vilify the Jews - Marlowe's The Jew of Malta was a huge success - what can he do? What can he do?

All Signs Lead To Lucy by Julieann Dove (18 Reviews)    Price verified 51 minutes ago

After living a life of failed, predictable relationships, Lucy Fister took the advice of the psychic who charged sixty dollars for ten minutes: start seeking men who are the absolute opposite of who she dated. It made sense, but paying for the obvious meant it might work. Tyler Tolliver met that criteria. He was an out of work actor who'd invented the love language 'have a good time.' They had a whirlwind relationship and after four months, he proposed, holding a bread tie for a ring, and giving the argument that the lease on his loft was expiring. One year into her marriage with Tyler, and Lucy was tired of playing Xbox, clubbing, and watching movies before reading the book. She missed conversations deeper than picking where they'd eat, and being in bed before midnight. When her estranged best friend, Vanessa asked her and Tyler to go on a week-long trip to the Caribbean with her new fiancé, Martin VanLeer, Lucy accepted the invitation. Fate scatters people and plans like a ...

Just Like a Butterfly: A New Beginnings Novella (New Beginnings M/M Series Book 4) by Kashel Char (10 Reviews)    Price verified 2 hours ago

It's the year 2004 A.D. Juandre At twenty-two, my existence was crusty. It was a Friday afternoon when I was racing like the Red Queen down the interstate from New York to Lexington, Kentucky, feeling like I would never reach my destination and, simultaneously, reluctant to start my life as a straight-married man and a father-to-be. When I crossed the bridge at the Ohio River, I swung my sexy sports car over to the first R&G (rainbow and glitter) establishment for a martini or three. One olive turned into several before I returned to the highway, wired and waving off my newfound besties, whom I will probably never see again. Their enthusiastic motivational pep talks convinced me to take a chance, find the man of my dreams and ask for what I wanted. Warning: This book contains male/male sex between consenting adults, all eighteen years or older. This book is not intended for people under eighteen.
