ANNOUNCING THE PUBLICATION OF “SOUTHRENODY” BY TEMPLE CONE

by Henry Stanton

UnCollected Press is delighted to announce the publication of a chapbook of poetry by Temple Cone.

Southrenody Temple Cohn Covers Galley Draft 005-page-001

Temple Cone, already known for his smart word choices, writes a new diction in a fierce intense rhapsody of the rural south. With liberated language, Cone takes us on a prayerful journey of observation in a meta-world of nature that changes the dialogue about our former impressions. Written with heart and beauty, Cone connects to the page with a new colloquialism. In this highly stylized and intelligent book Cone’s down-home words become lyric.  As one poem states: “Let prehistory get a look at your face.”  And let poetry history, too, I add.

ANNOUNCING THE PUBLICATION OF “THE IMMORTAL SUNFLOWER” BY SOPHIA FALCO

by Henry Stanton

UnCollected Press is delighted to announce the publication of a chapbook of poetry by Sophia Falco.

The Immortal Sunflower by Sophia Falco

 

In this semi-autobiographical compilation, Sophia Falco not only offers a bold new poetic voice, but also a glimpse into a stigmatized consciousness. On a journey to explore her own experiences with bipolar disorder, she takes us into the black eye of The Immortal Sunflower, transfixing us with its gaze, demanding that we dive through the dark and into a world beyond, where the natural world collides and intersects with her internal thought processes.

Falco shares with us her mind’s inner landscape, one that is simultaneously unfamiliar and intimately resonant, one uniquely her own, and one that we share through her powerful language of metaphor—a language with the ability to immerse us and change us, letting us transcend stigma and find a deeper understanding,  a “freedoming.”
