When the famous novelist Mira Wallacz goes missing at the festival devoted to celebrating her work, the attendees assume the worst—and some hope for the worst. Ten years after the festival, Geneva Finch, an ideal reader, sets out to discover the truth about what happened to Mira Wallacz. A twisty literary mystery dealing with duplicity, envy, betrayal, and love between an entertainment agent and a self-deprecating former priest, Wrongful explores the many ways we can get everything wrong, time and again, even after we’re certain we discovered the truth.
Thorn & Bloom: A Bold New Literary Magazine Cultivating Self-Care as Resistance Published by redrosethorns Ltd. Liability Co., March 2025
Thorn & Bloom is a quarterly literary magazine that reimagines self-care as an act of resistance, reclamation, and radical honesty. Through a curated collection of essays, poetry, fiction, and expert insight, the magazine explores personal healing as a catalyst for collective liberation.
Launched last month, the debut issue features a diverse range of emerging and established voices who offer grounded self-care practices, challenge internalized narratives, and illuminate the social conditioning that distances us from our authentic selves. Thorn & Bloom brings a fresh voice to the literary landscape—one that dares to treat self-care not as luxury or aesthetic, but as essential, intentional, and deeply political. The magazine is rooted in a commitment to inclusivity, empowerment, and truth-telling, offering a platform for stories that are both tender and transformative; inviting readers to embrace storytelling as a healing practice and self-care as a radical path to liberation.

“I have always enjoyed dealing with a slightly surrealistic situation and presenting it in a realistic manner. I’ve always liked fairy tales and myths, magical stories, supernatural stories, ghost stories, surrealistic and allegorical stories. I think they are somehow closer to the sense of reality one feels today than the equally stylized ‘realistic’ story in which a great deal of selectivity and omission has to occur in order to preserve its ‘realistic’ style.”—STANLEY KUBRICK, “Kubrick Country”

Poetry Dust is more than a poetry collection—it’s an immersive experience which blends over 60 never-before-published poems with over 60 bold, vibrant art pieces, each carefully designed to complement the text. This book was created in the hopes of igniting inspiration, for art lovers, seekers, and those drawn to the unseen emotions that connect us all. It journeys through themes of life, change, time, truth, loss, resilience, and the extraordinary beauty found in the often difficult contrasts of life.
My early years were spent traveling with nomadic parents across Central and South America and beyond. This constant movement shaped my creative spirit and deepened my awareness of impermanence—the fleeting nature our lives, of time, and experience. I am forever drawn to the exchange and connection between the physical and the unseen, the tangible and the metaphysical.
This book marks my first published collection, and I invite readers to pause, reflect, and allow inspiration to grow. Whether you are a lifelong poetry reader or new to the genre, my hope is that it will stir the soul, and remind us that art is a living thing, passing from contact to contact, ever growing and reshaping itself in new creations.
Deadline: March 10, 2025 Collaboration is upon us for joy, productivity, and sometimes heartache. Please show us your art that involved collaboration and how that collaboration gave rise to your poetry, prose and images and hybrid forms. Here is a chance to tell us how you work and produce. Sponsored by Black Earth Institute valuing earth, spirit, and social justice. View flyer for more info and a link to our website.

Language Like Water explores the conflicts, challenges, and connections in a daughter’s relationship with her mother over the span of a lifetime. The poems resonate with longing and struggle as the daughter seeks to understand and restore her complicated mother, an enigmatic figure who struggles with depression. Ultimately the daughter recognizes her own strengths as she acknowledges and inscribes moments and memories of sharing and connection.
Bisbing Books has this to say: “Language Like Water is a moving, deeply personal glimpse into the mother-daughter relationship. The complexity of this bond is explored through sharp, evocative imagery that digs deep into the emotional terrain of love, guilt, memory, and loss. There’s a sense that words carry weight far beyond their surface meaning. Read these poems.”

Bloodied, embattled, but still singing, Matthew Cooperman’s the atmosphere is not a perfume it is odorless addresses us: “America, aren’t you tired of being a gun ode?” In one register, a chromapoetics that examines the “red, white and blue” as an embodied, if problematic nationalism, in another, an extended ode project that conjures our troubling emblems of Empire, the poems in atmosphere—in their various configurations of apostrophe, atomization, song, dialectic, citation & eucharism—attempt to neutralize the personal, cultural and environmental dis-ease of 21st century America. Whitman, who provides the title, hovers near, reminding us of the dreams and responsibilities of freedom: “…absence, inspiration / it’s everyone’s problem.”
A durational project written over twenty years, Cooperman’s collection feels uncannily pointed at NOW. And the ode’s the hour’s vehicle. And what of the ode? An ancient three-part Greek lyric form, or could be. It could be sung, or danced, depending on the occasion, joy or lamentation. The ode is also a plea for what’s missing, a supplication through the mouth to what might deliver us from harm. Cooperman’s eighth book sings anodyne into a darkening wind.

In a time when women’s rights and autonomy are under siege, Unsolicited Press is dedicating 2025 to amplifying womxn’s voices in literature. Through its “Year of Womxn” initiative, the press will release a catalog exclusively featuring works by womxn writers, all marked by bold red covers. This striking color, inspired by historic feminists like Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Charlotte Perkins Gilman, symbolizes liberation and rebellion, making each cover a powerful protest and a testament to womxn’s voices. “Womxn are the backbone of publishing. They create, they support, they elevate the industry but are too often sidelined. Our 2025 Year of Womxn catalog is our way of championing their unparalleled creativity and storytelling,” said the team at Unsolicited Press.
