The Box of Torrone by John J. Trause
The Box of Torrone is a singular collection of poetry that unwraps six distinct flavors of Italian nougat—each one linked to a different city in Italy, each one a doorway to memory, place, and emotion. Inspired by a real box of torrone gifted by the author’s beloved Italian aunt, this book blends the sensual with the historical, the cultural with the deeply personal. Over the years, these poems have ripened into a rich mosaic of Italian landscapes, tastes, and traditions, inviting readers to savor a poetic journey steeped in love, nostalgia, and aesthetic wonder. The Box of Torrone is both intimate and expansive—a passport for the senses, perfect for anyone longing to travel by tongue, heart, and verse.
Dique Dominican by Ayendy Bonifacio
Dique Dominican is the powerful debut memoir from Ayendy Bonifacio, born "near a mango-steepled, river-scented town" in the Dominican Republic and raised in Brooklyn after migrating as a child. With lyrical precision and emotional honesty, Bonifacio reflects on the immigrant experience, identity, language, and belonging.
Et Al by Andrew Brenza
et al. by Andrew Brenza is a daring work of erasure, carved from the bones of a discarded dark fantasy novella and reborn as an experimental epic. What emerges is a haunting narrative poem—a surreal journey through a shifting, Sisyphean mindscape where meaning flickers, dissolves, and reassembles. Both intimate and expansive, et al. pushes the boundaries of erasure poetry, transforming failure into fertile ground for myth, memory, and the uncanny.
