Crystal Curry's Our Arms of Gymnasium is a "gorgeous, fast-moving, fast-morphing catalogue of attitude, this is a book with a sense of sass firmly attached to its excellent sense of humor and of social reality", writes Cole Sweson.An exploration of sexual evolution and communication, Curry deftly crafts the poems in her sophomore book using a dactylic tetrameter refered to fondly as the "Meter of the Apocalypse". For Curry this book is, "the dissolution of sexual narrative and an effort to piece it back together through logic. The discomfort this book conveys, through lyric, image, and theme, leads readers into a kind of glee and mania as a way to navigate through darker and emptier concerns."

Gary Soto writes that when he was five "what I knew best was at ground level." In this lively collection of short essays, Soto takes his reader to a ground-level perspective, resreating in vivid detail the sights, sounds, smells, and textures he knew growing up in his Fresno, California, neighborhood. The "things" of his boyhood tie it all together: his Buddha "splotched with gold," the taps of his shoes and the "engines of sparks that lived beneath my soles," his worn tennies smelling of "summer grass, asphalt, the moist sock breathing the defeat of basesall." The child's world is made up of small things--small, very important things.

The solstice sun strikes the circle of stone... ... and the veil between worlds is changed. New monsters now walk the earth. But where did they come from? It's a new threat for a new season. But for the first time we're totally stumped. And half of my team is addicted to hunting one of them. What the heck is that about? Will I figure it out in time to stop these beasts before they destroy the city? Midsummer Monsters is the fourth book in the new Druid Detective Agency urban fantasy series. Elijah and Emilie already went through one adventure. Now, ten years after The Druid Legacy, they are facing a new challenge, one that will test their limits. The real threat isn't the otherworldly magic, the magic that once birthed life itself in Eden/Annwn. There was a reason why humanity was cast from the garden groves. When the magic of that place comes home, it won't take long to find out why. The real threat was here all along, hidden in human hearts, now made manifest by the power of creation itself. Harry Potter meets Harry Dresden in Druid Detective Agency.

In times when the chaotic mind and the society designed to separate man from his divine nature come together there could be no other result than the very loss of that connection resulting in stress, doubt, violence, depression, and a host of negative emotions rooted in an increasingly dominant mind over the will of the human being, and all this creating more emotions and consequent events that have made the human being believe that "such is life ..." and that it will always be so until his last day. The human being has completely lost the conviction or the knowledge that his life should be beautiful, that his life should be pretty, he has in his mind false truths learned from the involutive culture of today reaching the point of not knowing that he does not know about his divine nature where there is no what currently composes his Me or Ego, unknowns completely who he is within himself, all the happiness and truth that he seeks is lost in the depths of his consciousness, this book tries to help the human being to regain his harmony with the Existence.
