Desperate Ransom

Arts & Literature

“PRAISE FOR MINTON SPARKS’ WORKS Sparks can render her South with bull’s eye diction and down-home wit, but she also brings a clear eye to her own place in somebody else’s story. Sparks knows the South’s many undersides and voices.”

Turnings

Arts & Literature

“William Everett's beautifully structured Turnings gathers together limpid poems of memory that shine like pebbles underneath the clearest flow of water, as well as poems of personal faith and theological wisdom. Rising up from the pages like long-forgotten messages, they glow in the light of Everett's language: lyrical, crystal clear, as if on the brink of turning into nothing less than song itself.”
