Our Titles

We are proud to publish a diverse range of titles, from poetry collections and short story anthologies, to novels and memoirs. Our authors and artists come from a variety of backgrounds and perspectives, and we are committed to promoting underrepresented voices and stories.

Some of our recent titles include "Backwards: Growing up Catholic, and Weird, in the 60's" by Cindy Rosmus, a gritty and unapologetic memoir that explores the complexities of growing up in a strict Catholic household during a time of cultural upheaval.

In "Split in Half and Buried in Moscow", Paul Kindlon offers a unique and insightful perspective on life in Russia, drawing on his years of experience living and working in the country. The book delves into the complexities of Russian culture and society, and challenges readers to think critically about the world around them.

"One-Handed Pianist" by KJ Hannah Greenberg is a thought-provoking exploration of the power of creativity and imagination. The book encourages readers to think beyond their comfort zones and to seek out new forms of expression, and serves as a catalyst for further imaginative efforts.

We are also proud to publish the work of acclaimed master collage artist Coates Walker, whose underworld vision complements the bare-knuckle prose of Cindy Rosmus in "Backwards". Together, their work defines the new genre of Bayonne Gothic, and offers a unique and compelling vision of the world.
