A Tree and Gone by Terence Culleton (FutureCycle Press) (4 Reviews)    Price verified 28 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."

It Could Happen Here by Greg Watson (13 Reviews)    Price verified 8 hours ago

Along the way, the book explores institutional cover-up, violence against women, teen angst, and campus evangelism in a secular age. Most significantly, the novel is unabashedly preachy, and contains a thinly veiled missionary plot designed to influence the reader to embrace Christianity. You have been warned. Read it at your own risk!
