Rejected Academy


Lilly Wilder - 2021
    Shunned. Spurned. Not protected. Yet, I was.We all knew that my father challenging the Alpha would get us punished.He died doing what he thought was right.My own fate?Sometimes, I think it’s worse than death.My mate rejected me.My clan exiled me. I was forced to seek refuge at the Hermitage, the only place for outcast wolf shifters.Ours is a world of old values.Old magic.Old rules.If you break them, you’d better be ready to pay the price.This is what everyone knows.But what I couldn’t have known was that two brothers I meet would end up being my confidants, my protectors, my everything.Our bond will be stronger than the old ways.It has to be… because my life depends on it.

KAMA : The Story of the Kama Sutra

Set in 273 AD, in a land fraught with war and unrest, Kama is the story of a catastrophic day in a writer-artist’s life that sets him off on a journey unto himself, beyond the boundaries of love, family and betrayal. This fast-paced story of tragedy and triumph beguiles and captivates as it flits seamlessly between an agonising past, an erotic present and a cataclysmic future."

The Scarlet Ibis: Poems


Susan Hahn - 2007
    The resonance of this image grows through each section of the book as Hahn skillfully employs theme and variation, counterpoint and mirroring techniques. The ibis first appears as part of an illusion, the disappearing object in a magician’s trick, which then evokes the greatest disappearing act of all—death—where there are no tricks to bring about a reappearance. The rich complexity multiplies as the second section focuses on a disappearing lady and a dramatic final section brings together the bird and the lady in their common plight—both caged by their mortality, their assigned time and role.  All of the illusions fall away during this brilliant denouement as the two voices share a dialogue on the power of metaphor as the very essence of poetry. bird trick iv It’s all about disappearance. About a bird in a cagewith a mirror, a simple twiston the handle at the sidethat makes it come and go at the magician’s insistence. It’s all about innocence.It’s all about acceptance.It’s all about compliance.It’s all about deference.It’s all about silence. It’s all about disappearance.
