The Carter Girls


Desiree M. Granger - 2015
    From Elijah Carter? The rising music star. Balancing his music life and his woman Jordyn, all while being the humorous glue that holds his family together. To his pretty boy twin brother Trent Carter. The one that can’t seem to get it right with the ladies, and at this point? Isn’t sure if he wants to. Yeah reading about these Carter men and their wild ways is fun, but it’s the women who are the heart and soul of this family. From drama filled baby mamas and childhood sweethearts to future wives and heartaches full of regret. Lets take another trip down to the A where there’s a waffle house on every corner, trapping is a way of life, and sweet tea is law, but when it comes to them Carter Boys, those Carter Girls don’t play…

What I Mean When I Say Miss You, Love You and Fuck You


Robert M. Drake - 2019
    each person will hurt the only way they know how. will love... the only way they've been taught to love. not everyone will see things the way you do. feel things the way you do. and you can't force your beliefs on people either because that's not love. that's not having compassion for other people. we all have our own right to see the world with our own eyes, therefore, understanding is key. and I don't mean saying it, saying you understand someone without putting yourself in their shoes. without respecting their views. you have to really know yourself and your environment to understand why people are the way they are. you have to go through enough pain to keep your heart open. to be compassionate towards other people. understanding is key and not everyone will understand you and that's okay. but the point is, to remember how all of us are different and try to understand that not all of us are meant to be the same. and you should never believe you understand it all because believe me, there will always be something to learn. there will always be something that will take your breath away. something that will make you question everything--your own beliefs and your own way of thinking. people, things and places, like life, are always evolving and you must evolve with them... if you ever want a fair shot in accepting your flaws and the flaws of other people. and before I finish, I just want you to know... that the beauty of it all is this, the more you understand people the better you will understand yourself. from the known and to the depths of your soul... people will always shape you. all that you are is all you've experienced with them. and dont ever forget... that the people you love will always have a piece of your heart. they will always be with you... no matter what.

Between The Lines: Volumes of Words Unspoken

Nature thrives between the lines of her verse, reminding the reader that tears are as natural as raindrops.

Artaud Anthology


Antonin Artaud - 1965
    Artaud, however, was not insane but in luciferian pursuit of what society keeps hidden. The man who wrote Van Gogh the Man Suicided by Society raged against the insanity of social institutions with insight that proves more prescient with every passing year. Today, as Artaud’s vatic thunder still crashes above the "larval confusion" he despised, what is most striking in his writings is an extravagant lucidity.This collection gives us quintessential Artaud on the occult, magic, the theater, mind and body, the cosmos, rebellion, and revolution in its deepest sense.Antoine Marie Joseph Artaud, better known as Antonine Artaud, was a French dramatist, poet, essayist, actor, and theatre director, widely recognized as one of the major figures of twentieth-century theatre and the European avant-garde.Jack Hirschman (b. December 13, 1933, in New York, NY) is a poet and social activist who has written more than 50 volumes of poetry. Dismissed from teaching at UCLA for anti-war activities in 1966, he moved to San Francisco in 1973, and was the city's present poet laureate. Hirschman translates nine languages and edited The Artaud Anthology.
