Divorced (not Dead) by Harper Ford

Watching unsuccessful dates unfold was both comical and heartbreaking at the same time because it was hard not to root for such a lovable, transparent person.

Out to Get Me by Jeffrey Cooper

As a reader, I would tell myself, ‘Just one more chapter’ and then Cooper would go and make the characters do something crazy or dangerous, or put them in situations that surely, they won’t get out of.

Dancing with the Moon: Poems of the Heart by Steven Davison

In his work, Steven Davison explores the delights of falling in love and creating intimacy. The work then takes a turn to look at the flip side of love when it starts to unravel and fall apart.

Elinor’s Glad-To-Be-Together Family by Sarah Layne

Told over three parts, the book is divided into six chapters. Part One can be summed up as pain. It provides the background of falling pregnant, discovering the tumors, and the negligence that almost caused unnecessary death.

The Beautiful Ugliness of Being by Joe Maldonado

I appreciated the references to Back to the Future, the thoughts shared about stepping away from poetry, and the eventual persistence for the poet to continue to display their art.

The Tattered Veil by Bekka Hunsperger

My soul hurts. It hurts for little Sofia, grown Sofia and Bekka Hunsperger, who in part lives in these Sofias.

Finding Her Being Her: A Journey of Poems by Nilam Patel

Whilst this book is marketed towards women, fathers, brothers, sons, boyfriends, husbands, pick up this book. As a female (used in the loosest sense), we know of our struggles and this book tells us that we are not alone with them.

Having been hurt, Amira makes the rash decision to upend her life, leaving behind her rich folks and her college course to head back to the only other area she has ever really known.

Twilight Monologues by Libana Kassab

The title gives the impression that the reader will be faced with something akin to Alan Bennett in the wee hours.

Trios: Death, Deceit, and Politics by Carl Parsons

Lot’s of politics, not so much death, and hardly deceit when it’s all out in the open. A book of several stories that need better connection.

Jigsaw Puzzle in a Vortex (A Collection of Memoirs) by Aurora M. Lewis

Women, you are not alone. Humans, you are not alone. This is a thought provoking read for literally anyone with a heart.
