Surreal, playful, and always poignant, the prose poems in Jose Hernandez Diaz’s masterful debut chapbook introduce us to a mime, a skeleton, and the man in the Pink Floyd t-shirt, all of whom explore their inner selves in Hernandez Diaz’s startling and spare style. With nods to Russell Edson and the surrealists, Hernandez Diaz explores the ordinary and the not-so-ordinary occurrences of life, set against the backdrop of the moon, and the poet’s native Los Angeles.

Poetry Lore - Book Bio Poetry Lore is a poetry compilation in 3 parts: Part 1: Mass Energy, The Death-Life Conspiracy Part 2: The Power Of Release Part 3: Self-Consciousness, Law Of Unification (all bodies) There is also an Intro Poem called The Animal, one of the very first poems I ever wrote. I, Kyle Lance Proudfoot, first started my poetry in 1988. My theme is primarily Philosophy, Psychology and the Paranormal. Describing in rich idealistic and even mystical verses with a good dosage of emotion, but also maintaining an amount of logical and rational argumentation of life, death, humanity, individuality, soul, spirit, mind and body with all their various interwoven energies, I develop the 3 parts from dark and stormy Shadow to clear and brilliant Light. My other books also have this plot progression. May you be inspired by reading my poetry as I have been so many times by all the great ones who have preceded me. My favorites are Blake, Shakespeare and many others on Internet these days.

Winner of the Agha Shahid Ali Poetry Prize Drawn from the rich folk traditions of his native Mammoth Cave region in Kentucky as well as the folklore of his adopted Ozark Mountains of Arkansas, the poems in Davis McCombs's third collection exist along the fraught lines where nature and agriculture collide or in those charged moments where modernity intrudes on an archaic world. These poems celebrate out-of-the-way places, the lore of plants, wild animals and their unknowable lives, and nearly forgotten ways of being and talking and doing. Rendered in a language of great lexical juxtapositions, here are days of soil and labor, nights lit only by firelight, and the beings, possibly not of this world, lured like moths to its flames. McCombs, always a poet of place and of rootedness, writes poems teetering between two locales, one familiar but achingly distant, one bewildering but alluringly present.
