'TinFish 19' delivers an eclectic mix

It's a given that releases from local poetry publisher TinFish Press will feature verse, but form, subject and author are usually a surprise. The latest installment, "TinFish 19," defies preconceptions from the outset with a volume reminiscent of an old composition book, complete with rust-colored cardboard covers and thick black binding. There's no introduction, only title and table of contents — throwing readers right into what feels like someone's private poetry journal. More »

PARENTING

Divorce is a major contributor to the collapse of the American male

I recently spent some time with a friend who has three children. My buddy, whom I've known since fifth grade, is a college-educated responsible guy who has never failed to do right by his family.
