Poetry from an Uneducated Black Mind
Poetry From An "Uneducated" Black Mind challenges the stigma of how the majority of the world will see young black men as uneducated (hence the name), hoodlums, and write them off as talentless or having no future. This is false... and this book aims to change all that with poems straight from a victim of the stigma. There are no restrictions on who can read this book, although I ask that you fasten your seatbelts as you enter the mind of an "uneducated" black man.

A Compilation of Poems
This book is the work of the Casey family women. It was put together by me but the works inside belong to my wife Amanda and my two daughters Emma and Elizabeth. These poems are from the many years of work of all 3 and hopefully more will come soon.
Growing Pains
This is my poetic journal. It has been a diary of sorts for me and an outlet to express the dark feelings I have bottled up inside. I am hoping that this book can help and inspire others. Everyone goes through ups and downs, and I have noticed that this generation especially has a vast amount of depressed people. Coming from a depressed teen, I can say that I can empathize with you and I hope this book finds itself in your hands for a deep and thoughtful read.
Psychogenic Fugue
Psychogenic Fugueis defined as: a rare psychiatric disorder characterised by temporary amnesia for personal identity. The state can last days, months or longer and usually involves unplanned travel or wandering, and is sometimes accompanied by the establishment of a new identity. Bewildered Wandering is the perfect way to describe my teenage years and early twenties. All the poems in this collection were born from the many growing pains of discovering my identity, adolescence and all the obstacles that come with growing up.
Intimate Reflections
In this book, Che Hojas pours her soul with a very personal style, magnificent vocabulary and depth of thought that is often haunting and always brilliant. In its pages, we read about the existential journey of a young woman as she battles with the ghosts of insecurity, the disappointments of love, the painful joy of living. To the reader, it feels like having been allowed to read the intimate diary of a young philosopher in all the rawness and honesty. A rare literary find and one, I'm sure, the reader won't be able to shake off easily as it dives deep into the existential questions we all share but dare not face with the author's courage and impetus. It is a literary proposition which challenges, pokes, forces the reader to stretch their prefabricated notions on life, death and literary prose itself. Do you dare?

Stone Soup Magazine
Letter from the EditorIn our double summer issue, we are thrilled to share not one but two books of poetry that placed second in our 2019 Book Contest: The Golden Elephant by Analise Braddock and Searching for Bow and Arrows by Tatiana Rebecca Shrayer--two equally talented yet entirely distinct young poets.Braddock's The Golden Elephant is a wild circus of a book populated with elephants, mice, space beasts, clowns, teachers, strongmen, lion tamers, and planets. Her poems are profound, contradictory ("You are always never alone"), dark, strange, and always playful ("Tigers are boss. / Leave them alone."). Reading her poems makes me acutely aware of the mysterious relationship between language--grammar, rhythm, rhyme, and word choice--and thought.Shrayer's Searching for Bow and Arrows is about the weight of history--one's own personal, familial history as well as the history of politics and nations--and a nostalgic longing for a homeland that both is and isn't home. In her spare, formal poems, Shrayer probes the thin veil between the past and present, focusing on the natural world as a bridge between the two: "Drops / of saltwater / arranged / like letters / on an ancient scroll."Till September!

Swirling Emotions
Swirling Emotions: Poetic Therapy is a story told in poems, both long prose poems and short free verse, about a girl who survived grief, heartbreak, trauma, abuse, isolation, and living on her own at a young age.
