Book Description
The Floating Bridge, David Shumate’s second collection of prose poems, transports its readers over the chasm between the mundane and the enchanted. We traverse one bridge and find ourselves eavesdropping on Gertrude Stein and her gardener. We take the night bus to Gomorrah to have a look around. Halfway across, each bridge vanishes beneath our feet. Our world shifts. The commonplace begins to glow. We turn the page. Another bridge awaits.

Book Description
POEMS OF THE BRIDGE presents incidents and insights from experiences that the author found enlightening during a lifetime of service as a pastor and family man. The use of poetry allows presentation in brief form and helps reveal the amazing acts of God in everyday life. A simple factual statement would only invite attempts to explain away the unexplainable. And so they are presented as faith experiences that simply arise among believers inspired by the promises of Christ and the Scriptures. The poems also question who this amazing martyr is who enters our confusing and modern world to bring compassion, understanding, and restore the bridge between divided couples, family members, and warring factions—even those we shall join again in a world beyond death. So much of what is precious has been neglected in search of money, belongings, and real estate. Shall we forget forever family solidarity, love, faith, those matters most rewarding and our constant source of joy? Or shall we turn from shopping, shallow entertainment, material obsession to rediscover our true identity? Shall we take time to consider those treasures offered to us forever? The strain of the world has a way of unveiling false assumptions and presenting the need for that final bridge. Our quest for a stable world falters daily. In an effort to achieve everything by human efforts, our age has given its respect to the clever, powerful, and worldly and put aside the lovely miracles of the God of compassion and eternal blessings. God still rewards those who continue in Christ’s faith and service. Yet in a broader spectrum POEMS OF THE BRIDGE rejects the prevailing philosophic viewpoint of positivism advocating that neither God nor the spiritual has any effect upon the course of history, the plight of the human race, or individual persons.

Book Description
Even Shorn takes its title from the Song of Solomon and that Book’s equation of pastoral feminine beauty with the plenty of harvest. Isabel Duarte-Gray argues that material bounty no longer exists in the rural spaces where she was raised. Duarte-Gray’s poetry mines local orature, family history, and folklore for the music of Western Kentucky, creating the sparse line breaks and the harsh syntax of the present. The poems describe quilt patterns with sinister shapes: “a snake’s tongue is a trigger finger/Man’s tongue pleases no one.” Animals proliferate: “One cat became five/five became nine. /Then a flood and ebb/as each moon brought its tide/below the trailer floor...” A grandfather plays drunk, solitary Russian Roulette. A cousin lives in a closet. Duarte’s poetry is shocking, whip smart, and truly unique.
