Acting Out and chem & other poems are two remarkable pamphlets joined together in one beautiful collection.

In this brilliant collection of short essays, author Anita Sullivan presents her observations on the topic of rhythm in poetry, pointing out that certain poems not only feed the brain through narrative and ideas but also nourish the body through rhythm. Sullivan is not talking here about rhyme, but rather an extended palette of rhythmic patterns that are latent in normal speech but often show up in poetry when a degree of emotional intensity is applied to the words. Merely being attentive to this possibility can enrich the experience of reading poetry far beyond what might be expected.

Twenty-two years ago an eleven year old girl wrote a poem that would change her life (and career) forever. It also grew into many poems that, collectively, became Chemistry, Not Science-the words transcending time as they draw upon ageless subjects of love, loss, loneliness, persistence, change and renewal. Written with grace and wit, this contemporary work of poetry aims to pull at one's heartstrings while at the same time eliciting recognitions-Hey, I've felt this way, too!-attempting to both challenge and heal the modern human soul.

Line by line, Elemental Haiku makes the mysteries of the universe's elements accessible to all.

Best friendship blossoms into something more in this gorgeously written queer literary romance. "The heartache and longing of witnessing a beloved character pine hopelessly over her best friend has never brought me this much unadulterated joy." –National Book Award Finalist Sonora Reyes, author of The Lesbiana’s Guide to Catholic School Over the past five years, Mitra Esfahani has known two constants: her best friend Bea Ortega and The Book—a dogeared moleskin she and Bea have been filling with the stanzas of an epic, never-ending poem since they were 13. For introverted Mitra, The Book is one of the few places she can open herself completely and where she gets to see all sides of brilliant and ebullient Bea. There, they can share everything—Mitra’s complicated feelings about her absent mother, Bea’s heartache over her most recent breakup—nothing too messy or complicated for The Book. Nothing except the one thing with the power to change their entire friendship: the fact that Mitra is helplessly in love with Bea. Told in lyrical, confessional prose and snippets of poetry Just Another Epic Love Poem takes readers on a journey that is equal parts joyful, heartbreaking, and funny as Mitra and Bea navigate the changing nature of I love you.
