On the heels of a global pandemic, two post-menopausal Appalachian women, one black, one white, abandoned hearth, home, and spouses shrugging in dubious wonderment to live and study abroad together in a university flat along Scotland's River Ayr. Poet E.J. Wade and author Karen Spears Zacharias roamed from the depths of Finnich Glen to the outcroppings of Dunure Castle. THE DEVIL'S PULPIT & OTHER MOSTLY TRUE SCOTTISH MISADVENTURES is part travelogue, part memoir, part poetry, and in outlandish Scottish storytelling tradition, a wee bit of winging it.

SOUTHERN RANGE gathers John Lane's long poems into a volume spanning over four decades. Since the early 1980s Lane's imagination has often taken the form of long poems, or sequences of poems. Sometimes meditative, often layered, associative, and playful, this collection borrows images and explores memories from landscapes Lane knows well, mostly the upper Piedmont of South Carolina.

Sarah Gordon's SIX WHITE HORSES is a bold collection of poems concerned with meaning--of such liminal matters as time, family, home, and loss. For Gordon, there are no easy answers; her broadly allusive poetry searches for spiritual mooring through the power of language and a keenly observant eye.
