She Followed the Moon Back to Herself by Amanda Lovelace
She Followed the Moon Back to Herself
by Amanda Lovelace

USA TODAY Bestselling Author The tenth poetry collection from Amanda Lovelace deviates from the path of fairy tales and myths, instead bringing readers face to face with the person behind the poems that have made her beloved. From bestselling poetess Amanda Lovelace comes she followed the moon back to herself, an autobiographical standalone poetry collection that follows a woman who--through heartbreak, bottles of rosa (c), and the general messiness of life--felt like she completely lost who she was. Each bitesize poem shines a light on where she's been and how she's managed to overcome it all, offering a dose of hope and moondust to all who join her on the journey back to herself. An authentic, relatable collection that is a must-read for fans of Amanda Lovelace's work and all interested in modern poetry.
Dog Show: Poems by Billy Collins
Dog Show: Poems
by Billy Collins

Billy Collins's Dog Show celebrates the joy of our canine best friends, honoring the love we feel for these animals who play vital roles in so many of our lives. In twenty-five poems, Collins distills the many emotions dogs bring us, from the happiness we feel as we watch a dog trot out the door unencumbered by our burdens, to the silliness of holding a dog in our arms as we step on the scale together. Turning his inimitable eye and ear to the complexities of dog behavior, Collins ponders all that these winning creatures give us and what we learn from them about ourselves. For more than four decades Billy Collins has delighted readers with his insight, wit, and clear poetic voice. In Dog Show, America's favorite poet (Wall Street Journal) illuminates America's favorite pet (sorry, cat lovers). Accompanied by Pamela Sztybel's watercolors that effortlessly depict a dog's humble grace, Dog Show reveals the profound meaning these fetching animals bring to us-- Provided by publisher.
Pansy by Andrea Gibson
Pansy
by Andrea Gibson

In PANSY, Gibson balances themes of love, gender, politics, sexuality, illness, family and forgiveness with stunning imagery and a fierce willingness to delve into the exploration of what it means to truly heal. Each turn of the page represents both that which as been forgotten and that which is yet to be released. While this book is a rally cry for political action, it is also a celebration of wonder and longing and love.
