Plainsongs' title suggests not only its location on the Great Plains but also its preference for the living language, whether in free or formal verse. Published twice a year from our home base in Hastings, Nebraska, Plainsongs presents poems that seem to be aware of modernist and postmodernist influences, not necessarily by imitation or allusion, but by using the tools provided by that rich heritage. Featuring poetry that runs the gamut from traditional...

This is not a book about the apocalypse.
In these pages, you won't find the hero. You won't find the ticking clock. You will not be in the room when they press the big red button. Instead, you'll find new life in the face of certain death, a boy whose prayers are answered in the worst way, mothers and sisters and friends who just want another second with their loved ones, and those who just want a moment to themselves.
These are the stories...

The poems in this gift-size anthology speak to the seasons of Maine, celebrating familiar scenery and events in a common language.

Welcome to the third volume (and first bookazine) of our ongoing experiment with illustrated prose at Penny. One year ago, we chose 'The Other' as the theme for this collection. Trump had won the election and we grappled with an urgent question: How could we support marginalized communities with our limited personal resources?
Thinking that a greater understanding of 'otherness' would foster empathy across borders small and large, we began by calling...

This book consists of a string of poems influenced by different aspects of real-life events that occurred. Behind every poem lies a relatable connection that we are human and sometimes things happen to us. It's through general conversations with close friends, family, strangers, and colleagues about life, death, politics, love, and spirituality among others that prompted the penning down of this book.

After consulting the grimoire of her 17th century Scottish ancestor, Izzy starts down a dark path to resurrect the man she loves and accidentally killed.
Love candle in hand, she visualises Enzo, walking toward her, his body strong and lithe, rather than broken and bloody as she'd last seen him. Having already asked forgiveness for what she'd done, the imagined look on his face was one of love and acceptance. Harnessing that love, she wrapped both...

Creativity comes from many places, but often the initial spark of inspiration can be traced to something or someone who challenged us to first put pen to paper or brush to canvas, to pick up a camera, to look at the world with new eyes. Maybe it was the lyrics of a favorite album. Maybe it was the encouragement from a beloved teacher. Maybe it was seeing a wonder of the natural world. Maybe it was just a feeling deep down inside that demanded to be...
