    We feel that to "better" American poetry is to jam dominant systems of taste to the best of our abilities, and to resignify the very phrase "American poetry" with the languages that it so desperately lacks. We intend to center voices of resistance, subjectivities that emerge from the radical margins, artists whose Americanness transcends nationalism and other borders, perspectives historically denied institutional backing--in short, poets and poetries that are urgent and necessary but do not get along nicely with Power. "Bettering American Poetry is a poetic battle cry for resistance. Comprised of captivating voices that transcend borders and defy the limits of our time, this anthology rattles readers awake with scintillating truth andtough love." >"Imagine this. A calling of our names, a murmuring of our ghosts, a shouting in our blood. Thank you, dear editors and poets, for burning through to bone, for acknowledging our cuts, for naming our skeletal struggles. Thank you for this edge of safety, for this bit of home." >"Here lives poetry that resembles a sticky dance floor. Poetry that is at once terraformed music and primal shout and wet kiss and sweaty palm. The "American" in Bettering American Poetry is a kind of ghoulish placeholder for whichever more rebellious, more enlivening world comes next. Pay close attention to the future maps and manifestos and mantras these poets have dreamed up. Join them in the club, in the brown/black/feminist/decolonial commons, in which everyone is where they are supposed to be." >"A world in which more than one anthology annually presents the poems their editors loved best is better than a world in which readers have to wait many years for the odd tome-like anthology to appear and attempt to define contemporary poetry. These anthologies help readers to understand what's happening in poetry, and they especially help beginning poets to recognize the community they are joining. Bettering American Poetry Vol. 3 includes work by some of the most exciting poets writing today, and-and this is of the utmost importance-it makes poetry's visible community larger." -Shane McCrae, author of The Gilded Auction Block and In the Language of My Captor

    Metaphoric and allegoric, The Seven Deadly Work Sins (Against the Golden Rule) by Dr. George Abraham is a goldmine of information on what it takes to succeed in the modern work environment. Wildly original, this provocative and daring self-help guide blends work ethics with business management. Vigilant and thorough, thirty benchmark case studies highlight what is wrong in the American corporate environment; the landscapes of such sins as gluttony, greed, envy, pride, and more are poignantly, aptly, and accurately illustrated. Fueling a lively debate about the benefits of what works at work as opposed to what is wrong at work, the author describes the ideal work culture which heralds timely messages on purity versus lust, moderation versus gluttony, generosity versus greed, pro-activity versus slothfulness, peace versus wrath, beneficence versus envy, and humility versus pride. His powerful message is peppered with wit, rhyme, and puns to provide the reader with a few belly laughs along the way.

    "Religions have evolved as a way of life; doctrines may fade as we move towards spirituality on the road to God which is bright as the daylight"In this simple compilation, I have pictured a few lives, showed us some light to carry us through in the pervasive dark days of human lives.I believe that God all merciful sends his messengers to take up mission and as they work with the delicate in need.There are many more in the shadows working earnestly, never seen or heard much about, only God may know their beautiful, selfless works.Thoughts came to me in the daunting times of COVID 19; the need looming large in acts of mercy and co-existence. It recalled the road we travelled on a guiding light as lanterns on the lanes and saw beacons of hope. But will they fade away.... Deviating halfway down the journey, we need to ask: - "Did we travel on the right path?"- "Will we inspire good minds to join us in the journey and embrace the unreached?"- "Will we ever try to live by the laws of nature?" Gita, the epic, in which Lord Krishna says, "If you walk in the path of Dharma if you absorb and follow the path of righteousness, then you not only emerge as a true leader but also serve and bring about a stronger nation, stronger universe and a stronger world."The time has come for us to rethink and reset our way of lives, embrace life in its fullest potential, hear a Coherent answer, attain a peaceful world, and a meet a merciful God. In this journey, we need your loving hearts, your caring hands and merciful deeds. We have seen some simple men and women do that in these dark days of sufferings. We shall Overcome... and make it a shining little blue marble, our home.

    Birthright is a book that balances the weight of place. The pride and shame and worth of homeland. Palestine, a homeland under siege and under scrutiny from a world that doesn''t occupy its borders. It is a book of immense nuance, pulling together all corners of the author s pride in home, but also a desire to understand the violent cycles of the American machinery of war.

    "From the first, devastating poem ("i touch myself & do not leak gold"), George Abraham's poems bristle with alchemy, a narrative of love, history, family, and Palestine that pulses with longing. Juxtaposed with Leila Abdelrazaq's startlingly evocative artwork, this book is a fearless, riveting excavation of self and other." - Hala Alyan
