Adele And Tom: The Portrait Of A Marriage
“Adele and Tom: The Portrait of a Marriage is a stunning, lyrical tour de force that evokes Virginia Woolf’s best novels, fluidly tracing—in form and content—the complex, labyrinthine, back-and-forth between a married couple, both of whom are writers. It is a glorious work of art.” Robin Lippincott, author of Blue Territory: a meditation on the life and art of Joan Mitchell “Chella Courington’s work is fragile, beautiful, difficult, kind, and leans all the way into what it means to be both an acute observer as well as an active participant in the world. No nuance of relationship, be it loving or otherwise, escapes her eye or her interpretation of the difficulties and joys of those of us who live in the creative realm.” Meg Withers, author of Particular Odyssey: In Search

Paper Covers Rock & riplicity: Poems in Threes
Poetry so sharp it will cut the roof of your mouth. One snips authentically ar
ound the edges of an erotic coming of age tale, then plunges into the heart of what it means to be a woman; the other stabs precisely into the chaos of love, loss and levity all with complete ubiquity. United in Indigo Ink’s debut “flip” edition, two pointed, poignant poets will cleave you, leave you ragged with their jagged lines and barbed writing.
Paper Covers Rock is a collection of poems, largely in first-person persona, that explores coming-of-age as perpetual transition-birth, death, love, loss, sex, illness, and transcendence. Inspired by William Blake’s line, “To see the world in a grain of sand” (Auguries of Innocence), many of the poems suggest that we can find vast truth in small events, life continually unfolding its mystery in everyday happenings. Primarily narrative, the poetry is lean, direct and grounded in fresh images.
While Triplicity: Poems in Threes didn’t start out as a collection of triplets, these utterly disarming poems fit quite snuggly into themed triads. At once ethereal and cryptic, McHenry writes eloquently about everything from pigs to prophets, from Vegas to victims, and the dangers of falling love with a Vulcan and does so with the experience of a woman navigating her femaleness.

Twice Upon a Time
In creating the second anthology of 2015, Twice Upon a Time (244 pages), Kind of a Hurricane Press asked our authors to let their imaginations run wild with childhood memories, delve into the depths of, and if necessary, even re-create fairytales. As always, our authors pulled out all the stops, and created, what we believe is one of our finest, and most universally appealing anthologies to date. Twice Upon a Time has something for everyone. Enjoy.
Shadowed – Unheard Voices
Whether found between the crumbling pages of a forgotten family album or shoved into a dusty cardboard box at a garage sale, we’ve all come under the mystical influence of unlabeled and anonymous photographs. In the presence of these fossil-like representations of unnamed ancestors, we ponder the nature of family and anonymity, love and loss. It is this phenomenon that prompted editors Joell Hallowell and Meg Withers to invite responses from 34 poets to an eclectic collection of black and white photographs of women from the late 1800s to the 1940s. The resulting book is a collection of vibrant, thought-provoking poems by contemporary writers delving into the nature of memory and evidence-speculating about the never know, those who never made it into family legacy or lore. Shadowed is a book of wondering and inventing. It is a tribute to the unknown and to the often unheard.
