Our Own Publications

Savor

$19.95

A collection of food poetry from around the world, SAVOR: Poems for the Tongue is edited by Brennan Breeland and Stan Galloway.

How to Read by Thomas Richardson

$16.95

In his debut collection How to Read, Thomas Richardson argues that the human journey is a lifelong exercise in understanding our world. This elusive goal-further complicated by the poet's Southern origins-takes shape through juxtapositions of irreverence with serious theological exploration, and love with the lurking presence of death. Richardson's compelling poems suggest we are never finished learning how to read.
