Poetry. Award-winning poet Alison Stone draws from the tarot in her latest collection. These 78 poems range from the archetypal (The Fool, The Magician, etc.) to the everyday situations of love, work, ideas, and conflicts that make up our lives. Mythical figures from past and present appear--Prometheus and Persephone represent court cards, as do Lou Reed and Steve Jobs. By turns witty and heartbreaking, this book goes down easily enough to be devoured in one sitting yet reveals greater depths with each subsequent reading. Stone's accessible lyrics move and entertain us with the struggles and joys of what it means to be human.

Poetry. Alison Stone's sixth collection deals with the myths, both classic and contemporary, that shape our psyches and our world. From Caligula and Medusa to Gabby Douglas and Ivanka Trump, these speakers illuminate the timeless struggles for power and love that play a central role in literature and art. Stone's speakers tell their stories in poems that both transcend culture and time and illuminate this particular historical moment.

Every moment of Alison Stone's new collection is one of stillness, of waiting, to see what glimmers may rise from the ashes, and the earth.

In her third collection, Alison Stone presents us with 42 poems of struggle and redemption. Her style is crisp and unencumbered by literary pretence as she evokes the raw emotions that inspired her poems with a rare honesty and clarity.

Boom! Widely published poets Alison Stone and Eric Greinke wrote these inventive poems together from February 2014 to April 2017. Although they each wrote an equal number of lines in each poem, they used a variety of patterns, ranging from simple, every-other-line patterns to more complex forms wherein they alternated beginnings, middles, endings and titles. The tone of these poems is varied too, ranging from ironic and humorous to philosophical and elegiac, from narrative to lyric. The voices of Alison and Eric blend seamlessly into a bold third persona, a gender-neutral and ageless punk poet who can both whisper and shout.
