John Bennett | Tire Grabbers | Hcolom Press
Tire Grabbers is the story of the coming of Moloch, a horrific force that mutates out of the Era of the Great Schism and – feeding on spiritual marrow – threatens Mankind’s extinction. And it is the story of the children who challenge Moloch, with their innocence and with an army of mind creatures that they eject into the outer world and call… John Bennett Continue reading
John Bennett | Drive By | Shards & Poems | Lummox Press | E-Book
“The thing that continually fascinates me about your writing is the trueness of it: not just a ‘write what you know’ kind of trueness, but a permanently immediate truth, something you could put in a time capsule and it would still be just fine in a thousand years.” — Liz Druitt Continue reading
The Long Way Home | The Best Of the Little Red Book Series | 1998 – 2008 | E-Book
This sturdy series of little ‘books’ has been compared to the Pocket Poets series begun in the early 60s by City Lights Publishing and continues to delight audiences with the powerful imagery of the writers selected. As Laurel Speer (Beatlick News) wrote: “You can carry a Little Red Book in your coat pocket along with a passport. The passport will take you out of the country. The book will transport you out into the galaxy.” Continue reading
RD Armstrong | On/Off The Beaten Path | The Road Poems | Lummox Press | E-Book
“On/Off The Beaten Path is an engaging work. You read as Armstrong sometimes struggles with his language against the landscape; but when both merge at times into that magic whole, it is powerful…” — John Macker

Rick Smith | Hard Landing | Lummox Press | E-Book
“Rick Smith’s spare yet dense poetry is reminiscent of Basho, the Japanese haiku master, and displays much of the same restraint and discipline.”– Mark Terrill Continue reading
Todd Moore | The Riddle Of The Wooden Gun | Lummox Press | E-Book
“Violent, raw and riddled with humor, in time, Todd Moore’s 44 magnum opus Dillinger will take its place in the American literary canon as one of the greatest. A longtime small press hero, Moore’s gunshot staccato cannot be rivaled, there simply is no other. Literary outlaw and maverick poet, Todd Moore is a leader of the new romantic, a visionary wordslinger cut from the same bloody cloth as Cormac McCarthy.” — S.A. Griffin

Michael Adams | Steel Valley | Lummox Press | E-Book
You can feel with all senses the steel wheels of Mike Adams’ Pennsylvania steel mill and railroad boyhood pulse in every word; his clear, generous breaths open the heart to the wide expanses of the poet writing down his life… It is hard to find a geography worth its weight in memory that doesn’t resonate with the blood and spirit of its inhabitants. Steel Valley is fine writing, epic and intimate. —John Macker
RD Armstrong | Fire and Rain | Selected Poems 1993 – 2007 | Volume One & Two | E-Book
In this era of burgeoning social dysfunction, and its transitive residue on the person, through world, state, economics, religion, family, relationship and god knows whatever the hell else, autobiographical (not confessional) poetry is of paramount importance. At its best, it bears personal witness to all these things, declares supporting solidarity with others, and in the spirit of hope, points to salvation.” —Steve Goldman Continue reading
