Jukebox
Patty Seyburn

Poems. Music is the car and driver of Jukebox. These poems explore the intersection between the musicality of language and musical references as signposts of meaning. The song lyrics and instrumental riffs that take up space in our brains...infiltrate the poems and proceed to assume a prominent position.

It Wasn't Always Like This
Jan Wesley

Poems. Mostly set in Los Angeles, these are California poems in the best sense:
​light-filled, at times light-hearted, but, with a sniper's aim, always pointed toward truth.

River of Angels
Stephen Cooper

Stories. Mothers and fathers, sons and daughters, husbands, wives, and roving agents of chaos collide here with sometimes comic, often tragic but always lasting effects. In story after story something happens that matters—not least to the reader.

zirconium ash
Jimmy Vega

Poems. Centered around loss and death of individuals, relationships, and ways of communicating, the poems of zirconium ash drive at intensified high speed, physically and psychically mapping the geography of the city of Los Angeles.

Inside the Umber Iris
Erik Soto

Poems. Tying a lyrical and surrealist style to themes of generational trauma and folkloric    genealogy, while continuously weaving pain and passion through every stanza, the poet      constructs a striking odyssey with high emotional stakes.​
