unsolicited queries or submissions during this time, no matter how much we love your
work.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">As Crisis Chronicles' founding editor and publisher, I have been fortunate to work with excellent poets from around the world for the past fifteen and a half years. I plan to keep most of our in-print titles available indefinitely and to continue getting them into the hands of new readers. But now that I am mostly caught up with my publishing commitments, I want and need to redirect much of my energies and focus away from publishing to other priorities.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">I say "mostly" because there are still two authors I revere for whom I promised years ago to publish collections, though I have so far been unable to obtain all of the desired poems for these projects. I hope to fulfill these promises if and when I can. Also, I would like to eventually publish a volume two of <i>Cheap and Easy Magazine</i> and a volume three of <i>Oct Tongue. </i>But neither of those is likely to happen in 2024.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">Please accept my deepest gratitude for your all interest and support over the years. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i> </i></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Peace, love and poetry,<br /><br />John B.

At the age of two, he was adopted by the amazing Johnson family. He has always been fascinated by the fantastical world of comic books and mythology. Growing up, he often felt alone even though he was always around a caregiver or an adult. Through reading comics and other works of fiction, he was able to escape the confines of his physical body and let his imagination liberate his soul. He had a hard time accepting his disability and his physical appearance, leading to depression and self-isolation. Over the years, through writing and the creative arts, Brandon has learned to embrace his oddities. His poem "My Soul" has been featured in the Wick Poetry Center at Kent State University's Traveling Stanzas.<span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span data-offset-key="7oac8-0-0"><span data-text="true"><span data-offset-key="7oac8-0-0"><span data-text="true"><span data-offset-key="7oac8-0-0"><span data-text="true"><span data-offset-key="7oac8-0-0"><span data-text="true"><span data-offset-key="7oac8-0-0"><span data-text="true"><span data-offset-key="7oac8-0-0"><span data-text="true"> </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br /></div><div><p></p></div>John B.

newest book, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">I Have a Poem About That</i>, contains what is undoubtedly some of her best work. As you read these poems,
you are introduced to Howey’s unique takes on such diverse topics as jazz,
gender, Viet Nam, the questioning of authority, and the afterlife. In the poem
“My Words Are Too Big Today,” she reveals <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The
sun is hanging in the / threadbare blue sky like a broken button.</i> In “When
We Die We Become Birds,” she considers <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Just
as God’s gift to us, before death, / is the vodka martini, his postmortem gift
/ is to turn us into birds. </i>While some of the pieces quietly reflect and
fondly reminisce, most of them grab you by the shirt collar and jerk you close enough
to feel the spit. <br /> —Dianne Borsenik, author of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Raga for What
Comes Next</i>, publisher at NightBallet Press</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;">This volume features 23 poems, including <span>"When We Die We Become Birds," "My Skiff," "Camus at Camp," "A Meeting of Suburban Deer," "Eternity on Elm Street," "Inside Out," "Invert at the Gem Saloon, Deadwood, South Dakota, 1876," "My Name Is John Doe," "Mount Everest," "Paul Desmond's Slot Machine," "Ten Ill-Conceived Kitchen Gadgets," "Maybe I Should Have Told Different Lies," "After I'm Gone," "Blueberries, Summer, 1944," "The Last One," "The Road Oft Taken," "Sign of the Cross," "A Bubble-Off Romance," "The Birds and the Bees," "The History of Television," "The Universal Usage Guide," "An Ode to Richard Howie," and "My Words Are Too Big Today."</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span><b><a href="https://www.facebook.com/christine.howey.75" target="_blank"></a></b></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4-tp1aVvkZp71KeoGDaLPUZnHY5ftiXMLKsm-iIHSAnruA9d3bmsdkOIV18_8-Jjat5GbtwAIIRh5cOE8DFugTrFo0YHNmmP833kLrz5Djky6L4Y_nXVkMTjsIAs3UWb3V-xE3db9aE91U8DWT24i6GkgAAgRNR7jVV5qK3NtQ5bJAi0kk8uVtjut/s1936/Christine%20Howey%20head.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1936" data-original-width="1549" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4-tp1aVvkZp71KeoGDaLPUZnHY5ftiXMLKsm-iIHSAnruA9d3bmsdkOIV18_8-Jjat5GbtwAIIRh5cOE8DFugTrFo0YHNmmP833kLrz5Djky6L4Y_nXVkMTjsIAs3UWb3V-xE3db9aE91U8DWT24i6GkgAAgRNR7jVV5qK3NtQ5bJAi0kk8uVtjut/s320/Christine%20Howey%20head.jpg" width="256" /></a></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b> </b></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/christine.howey.75" target="_blank"><b>Christine Howey</b></a> is a performance poet and former executive director of Literary Cleveland.

Her luminous descriptions (enhanced with gorgeous collages by Jillian Mardin) take readers on a multi-dimensional voyage of obstacles, shadows, and dangerous precipices, but affirms the wisdom of elders, animals, and priestesses. Although the profound losses of fathers and lovers punctuate the book, she returns always to intentional survival and healing. With Whitmanesque exuberance immersed in female magical powers, she bears witness to loving affiliation with everything from people to galactic beings to nematodes. The many portals—windows, doors, cave entries—enable access to deep interiorities: watery domains and tunnels in caves. Those, in turn, allow access between minds, epistemologies, species, even planets. Spheres and consciousnesses interpenetrate. A beautiful book in every way, <i>Ouroboros</i> is a testament to our vulnerabilities, our interconnectedness, and our ever-shifting possibilities of renewal.</span></span><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span> </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div><div class="_1mf _1mj" data-offset-key="5h58k-0-0"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span> </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div><div class="_1mf _1mj" data-offset-key="5h58k-0-0"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span>—</span></span></span></span></span>Hertha D.

All told with vivid and descriptive detail. She faces challenges, danger, and her own fear. Animal and human companions inhabit imaginary worlds, ancient and futuristic, realistic and visionary, threatening and comforting. Surely, Chansonette has a method for remembering her dreams. The “dreamwalker” of the title indicates these intense dreams are with her in her waking life, both a link to and a dialogue with her interior self. We all have similar episodic dreams, but this long literary stream of remembered dreams creates a personal world that treads somewhere between everyday reality and the nighttime recesses of the psyche. The writing is richly illustrated with collage images by Jillian Mardin, which reflect this magical adventure of both individual struggle and personal power.</span></span><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="background-color: transparent;

poet with a gift for vernacular, a wit to match his cinematic range, & an
obsession with movies that played upon my own heart. i've long been a
great admirer of Alex ever since those giddy early days of blogging when social
media held the promise of uniting poets & creating a community of writers
who, in their own unique ways, were dedicated to making & living a life in
poetry. Alex Gildzen is a poet with a life well-lived in poetry & at
the movies. his poems frequent the daily ordinary hard tasks of being a
human being in our digital age, along with the practical importance of
friendships, art making, family, technology, & the greats of Hollywood past
& present. Alex Gildzen is one of my very favorite poets &
human beings. as he says in a poem, 'go to the movies / you're
alive.'"</span><br /> —Richard Lopez, co-editor of the

is a master of his craft, unearthing beauty from the ordinary and celebrity
from the common. Nowhere is this more evident than in <i>Arroyo Chamisa: poems
rescued from a blog</i>. From the dark atomic whimsy of “swim thru the sea of
night little swimmer” to the pure joy of living well in “I call the 3 palms /
beside the pool / the Andrews Sisters,” Gildzen’s poetry grooves with the
universal and vibrates with the intensely personal. This is an expedition you
won’t want to miss." </span></span></span><span><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN" style="line-height: 115%;"><br /><span style="font-size: x-small;"> —Dianne

Morell’s work exhibits a lyrical acuity which illuminates and
devastates. She leads us on a harrowing and electrifying journey
through the life of Matilda, a being who dances on the brink of
existence between what is marginalized and what has risen above to live
in rarified air. Morell has no fear; our eyes blaze and dilate with
Matilda, as we bear witness to our collective ruin. Morell’s poems
celebrate the connections between the interior and exterior world and in
doing so, take us closer to both.”</span></span><br />

Description of a whole array of things, however “poetic”, does not a poem make. Following a set of rules, merely emulating the constituents of a “canon of taste” will, almost infallibly, make “poets” crashing bores.<br /><br />"We write, Heidegger reminds us, in “a destitute time” & “in default of God”. As an atheist, I am OK with this. Carolyn, however, does not like that “no god any longer gathers men & things unto himself.” Nothing shines any longer, it is night. The task of the poet is to find the wholesome. & the holy that relates to it, in the unholy that s/he depicts. This book deals with the subject of “euthanasia” of animals, in particular the “euthanasia” of one of the writer's dogs for alleged aggression. “Euthanasia” is far too frequently resorted to as part of the morally dubious treatment of pets in the USA, & it is remarkable that Carolyn deals with the subject with great restraint.<br /><br />"Wherever Carolyn writes of that which is bad, the fact of her shows us what Hölderlin points out, that wherever there is danger there is also the seed of that which can save us. Because Carolyn is a great poet, the solution is not just hers, it is for Everyman. Although humans, or liars, as they are also known, work to destroy innocence, the poet in his or her poem points to where the future divinity will be found, or the future focus of being. It will not be in people, or anything anthropomorphic.<br /></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: right;"><span data-offset-key="7oac8-0-0"><span data-text="true"><span data-offset-key="7oac8-0-0"><span data-text="true"><span data-offset-key="7oac8-0-0"><span data-text="true"><span data-offset-key="7oac8-0-0"><span data-text="true"><span data-offset-key="7oac8-0-0"><span data-text="true"><span data-offset-key="7oac8-0-0"><span data-text="true"><span style="font-size: x-small;">—David McLean, author of <i>Flesh & Resurrection</i>. </span><br /></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span data-offset-key="7oac8-0-0"><span data-text="true"><span data-offset-key="7oac8-0-0"><span data-text="true"><span data-offset-key="7oac8-0-0"><span data-text="true"><span data-offset-key="7oac8-0-0"><span data-text="true"><span data-offset-key="7oac8-0-0"><span data-text="true"><span data-offset-key="7oac8-0-0"><span data-text="true"><br /><br /><a href="https://www.facebook.com/cleigh.moore" target="_blank"><b></b></a><b><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/cleigh.moore" target="_blank"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidej3P8UqCeL-UiPInG9EIbRI8TzGMD8-galIxWQXa5HvStH1-TtcrkZY7Y2l3L1NFDgCbcemXVj_cBh5t6b52Mdt6BnV89MkGgsrGOwDesCEYUrayl04cx2d6qs4ycXp5DfwAYQhBDj8/s796/Carolyn+author+pic+by+Diana+2019+%2528transport+of+Fabio%2529+cropped.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="796" data-original-width="782" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidej3P8UqCeL-UiPInG9EIbRI8TzGMD8-galIxWQXa5HvStH1-TtcrkZY7Y2l3L1NFDgCbcemXVj_cBh5t6b52Mdt6BnV89MkGgsrGOwDesCEYUrayl04cx2d6qs4ycXp5DfwAYQhBDj8/w314-h320/Carolyn+author+pic+by+Diana+2019+%2528transport+of+Fabio%2529+cropped.jpg" width="314" /></a></div><a href="https://www.facebook.com/cleigh.moore" target="_blank">Carolyn Srygley-Moore</a></b> (C Leigh Moore) is a writer who has encountered a variety of issues in her career. She has been published in <i>Red Fez</i>, <i>I Am Not a Silent Poet</i>, and other venues. <b><i>Ode to Horatio</i></b> parallels the plight of humanity with the plight of dogs randomly placed on death row. Carolyn's falling in love with the pit bull was ostensibly the beginning of years advocating for victims of breed specific legislation, including all breeds deemed dangerous by landlords and insurance pitfalls. She found the greatest meaning in her endeavors as transporter from shelter to adopter to foster etc. from winter 2019 to 20. Carolyn has had two emergency craniotomies leaving her with the current inability to drive. As well as caring for her own rescued pets, this elegy is the writer’s current contribution to the cause. Carolyn is a graduate of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, where she recalls the night she fell passionately in love with language. Forty years later, that passion has lasted.<br /></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>John B.

Gardner not only extracts meaning in such poems as ‘Dog Food’ which looks the blunted reality of opiate addiction clearly if not profoundly in the eye, or in ‘Grounding’ where the poetic sensibility seems to drift in an airy medium somewhere between longing and optimism while insisting on a vision that edges toward apocalypse, but also constructs meaning by drawing upon the desultory events, occurrences, and people of lived life, yoking them to insight and poignancy. Between the poles of angry sadness and hopeful anticipation, there are works like ‘Searching for Veins in Mr. Powell’s Cornfield’ which collapses several layers of meaning into one another. The images Gardner employs are oftentimes dark as they argue the harsh truth of the micro realities of drug addiction in small town America. Nonetheless, they also argue a guarded hope that poetically makes itself known as a shot across the bow of an oftentimes listing ship of life. The effect of <b><i>So Marvelously Far</i></b> is one of unsettling vision as well as one of poetic power. The work warns in ironic tones of the normalization of an increasingly dehumanized landscape, one redolent of the Avett Brothers in their song ‘Head Full of Doubt.’ More importantly, it is also a celebration of a remarkable and prescient poetic sensibility that will likely be around for some time.”<br /><span style="font-size: x-small;">—<b>Steven Joyce</b>, Associate Professor of German & Comparative Literature, The Ohio State University; author of <i>Transformations and Texts</i>, <i>The Apostate Djin</i>, <i>The Winds of Ilion</i>, and <i>A Sea of Other</i>.</span><br /> </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

<b>Crisis Chronicles Press</b> is pleased <span data-offset-key="7oac8-0-0"><span data-text="true">to announce the publication of <b><i>Soul Picked Clean</i></b>, the debut poetry collection by Ohio writer <b>Cat Russell</b>.</span></span><span data-offset-key="e6a6d-0-0"><span data-text="true"><br /><br />"In <b><i>Soul Picked Clean</i></b> Cat Russell provides a thoughtful and hopeful collection of sharp-edged, personal poems that balance themes of “cosmic coincidence” (“Dice”) with close observations of daily life and family. Knitting together comfort and struggle, Russell’s poems build a sense of alienation filled with tense urgency. In poems like “Serial Killer at the Laundromat” she brings to focus measured risks, remaining “acutely conscious of / how alone I am” and “Balloon,” which imagines the growth and deflation of memory and life through “the events / that would shape and fill me.” If “Children see the things adults turn away from” ("2 a.m."), they are also evident in the honest insights of Russell’s debut collection." </span></span></div>

<span data-offset-key="6ekef-0-0"><span data-text="true">This has been on my mind for several months, and off and on for longer than that, but I've kept waffling and putting off the announcement because I wasn't sure, and I wanted to keep my options open (including the option of changing my mind) and I didn't want to dampen enthusiasm for our forthcoming books or upcoming events. But I am shutting down Crisis Chronicles Press (or at least placing it on hiatus) at the end of this year or after we have fulfilled our current publishing commitments, whichever comes first. We still have a lot of work to do, as we will be publishing ten excellent new books in the near future, participating in a ton of book fairs and other events, and keeping most of our catalog in print indefinitely. When it's done, I may still work part time in publishing, or reserve the right to do a random unanticipated Crisis Chronicles Press project here or there. But life is short and there are many more things I want to do, including focusing more on my own writing and perhaps completing my memoir and not spending every moment thinking about all the things I have to do or catch up on with seemingly no end ever in sight. I am super grateful for all the interest and support the press and I have received over the past eleven years. And what an honor and privilege it is for me to have worked with (and continue to work with) some of the best writers in the country (and several from other countries) and many from right here in Ohio. You're gonna love the new books we have coming out by Nicole Hennessy, Carolyn Srygley-Moore, Chansonette Buck (with Jillian Mardin), Alex Gildzen, Lisa Cihlar, Nick Gardner, Julie Marchand, Kent Taylor, Christopher Franke, D.R. Wagner.... And there may be a surprise tossed in as well. I love you all.<br /><br />John Burroughs<br />Founding Editor<br /><br />[For an October 2019 UPDATE, please <a href="https://jesuscrisis.blogspot.com/2019/10/whats-up-with-crisis-chronicles-press.html" target="_blank"><b>click here</b></a>.]</span></span></div>
