Paperback. Condition: Good. Some Bodies in the Grief Bed is Rick Benjamin?s latest attempt to find the intersection of the human and the non-human in the context of this earth?s ecology.  A poem about migrations butterflies and others make might be followed by another appearing in the life of a family; and this poet is always trying to face down the distinction between them.  At the same time, he is deeply interested in every detail of either: giraffe?s eating an Acacia?s topmost leaves and pods; the way the sound of percussive roofs in rain bring up memories a boy might have thought he?d buried.  These are offered as equal parts of one book, planets orbiting around the same sun. As the title suggests, Some Bodies in the Grief Bed evolves around loss, but also those moments of ecstasy and joy that are attached to them.  As Martín suggests, such grief is also and always just another opportunity to praise everything and everyone we?ve been lucky enough to hold and have in this world without keeping.  This book reminds us both to hold each moment and to be more mindful of what it?s made (out) of? the organic, impermanent nature of our ?passing love? (Langston Hughes) on this planet.…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Naffziger's poetry boldly emancipates the soul from its worldly shell. Kirkus ReviewsJust as Elizabeth Bishop wrote of her initial self-realization that you are an>I, you are an>Elizabeth, we all come to a similar awakening, an awareness of the physical body and our own consciousness. Over the years, we may begin to question our understanding of the world and our place in it, which awakens the spirit, and we find ourselves longing to unite the physical and metaphysical. Strange Bodies takes us on a journey-using story, science, metaphor, and myth-that brings us full circle to the essence of who we are and how closely we are connected to each other and the natural world.The final section of the book, Still Life, is a biography of existence through thought and image. Completed during the pandemic and initially exhibited at the University of Pikeville, in Pikeville, Kentucky, with exhibitions following at The Secret Studio (Columbus, Ohio) The Dairy Barn Arts Center (Athens, Ohio)), and Praxis Gallery (Minneapolis, Minnesota), Still Life is a collaboration between Naffziger and her husband, photographer Mark Hackworth, which addresses aesthetics and beauty and what those concepts inspire in the day to day. Still Life includes nineteen black and white photographs.…

Felix and Tilda seem like the perfect couple: young and in love, a financier and a beautiful up-and-coming starlet. But behind their flawless faade, not everything is as it seems. Callie, Tilda's unassuming twin, has watched her sister visibly shrink under Felix's domineering love.

Worried about the psychological hold that Felix seems to have over Tilda, Callie joins an internet support group for victims of abuse and their friends. However, things spiral out of control and she starts to doubt her own judgment when one of her new acquaintances is killed by an abusive man. And then suddenly Felix dies--or was he murdered?
