About Rainbow’s Red Book of Poetry:
‘Do yourself a favour: buy this, curl up in your favourite chair and read it, knowing you will come away refreshed.’
Life is a complex thing. As social beings, we live side by side, sometimes in not so harmonious circumstances. This book celebrates love and tackling the challenges we face as humans. Control is not always ours.
Keep learning.
Keep growing.
Be yourself.
Do your best.
Life is complicated, yet very simple.
‘These poems are layered and more formal — with an air of William Blake or even Christina Rosetti — but without pretension or anachronism. They still have the Lawson touch.’
‘Lily Lawson has this way of making me weep.
And dance.
And understand myself a little better.
And understand others, perhaps, a little better too.’
Ice & Autumn Glass by Mark Fuller Dillon
“In ICE AND AUTUMN GLASS, Mark Dillon marries the Jacobean line and gothic imagery to a colloquial, thoroughly modern, goth-punk demotic, a frenzied coupling that yields up a species of frictive, delirious lyricism, a monstrous infant both old and new. This is a strong, accomplished debut, work imbued with the sensibility of a twenty-first century Beddoes, a Poe slumped over his eggs and ham in a midnight, neon-soaked diner, a Webster condemned to walk forever through thick, luminous snow, lost, bereft, and contemplating the skull beneath his own skin.”
Richard Calder — author of DEAD GIRLS and BABYLON.
“A poet, W.H. Auden tells us, is a person who is passionately in love with language. That love is evident in everything Mark Fuller Dillon writes, but is perhaps more perfectly suited to the poetic form. That passion, coupled with his command of form is in abundance here. But poetry is more than the sum of its parts, and while language and form obviously play a pivotal role they are ultimately just the bones upon which flesh and blood poetry exists. Another Canadian poet, Leonard Cohen, referred to poetry as the evidence of life. It’s the life that makes this collection remarkable, the flesh that Mark has placed upon the bones, the blood that flows through each and every carefully chosen word. Yes, these poems have strong bones, but they also have heart. They have a soul that reveals much about the poet and even more about ourselves.”
Jason E. Rolfe — author of CLOCKS.
“The poetry of Mark Fuller Dillon is born of a scintillating intellect. It is elegantly, meticulously constructed, one might say classical in composition, but it is far from stiff or affected. Indeed, the emotions conveyed — particularly of loss and longing — are accessible and acutely felt. There is, though, also humor herein (as in ‘Abomination Corn,’ significantly written on April 1st), and much beauty. Often, nature is used as in the fiction and poetry of Thomas Hardy, to reflect the author’s inner state. And always, that gorgeous craftsmanship. Poems such as ‘This Heritage of Ice and Autumn Glass’ and ‘Everything I Need Right Now, To Live’ share a striking relationship between their opening and closing lines, this bookending effect giving their respective last lines a powerful “oomph.” There are, in fact, many lines throughout that give me that gut punch effect, as in this from ‘Perspective’: “I write because I spend my nights alone…As many living do, and all the dead.” So engage your mind, and your emotions, and gaze into the reflective surface of ICE AND AUTUMN GLASS.”
Jeffrey Thomas, author of HAUNTED WORLDS and PUNKTOWN.

About Brave as Thistles:
Brave as Thistles, a collection of poems by Lauri Cruver Cherian, was inspired by a trip to the Highlands of Scotland where the author encountered the national emblem, the thistle. Scottish legend tells of a party of Scots warriors who were invaded by Norsemen. The Vikings removed their shoes and crept up to attack the sleeping Clansmen. One of the invaders trod on a spiky thistle and his anguished cry alerted the Scots to the attack. If your life journey has brought you to a place where bravery is required, may you be like the thistle, delicate and beautiful, yet tenacious and strong, able to flourish through any season. Brave as Thistles is emotional, evocative, and thoughtful in the exploration of the essence of what it means to be brave.
