"Raise the Titanic" from my poetry collection, Render, accompanied by the gorgeous remix of "For Loves You've Lost" by brokenkites. Once again, the remix was created especially for this project. Each piece is more beautiful than the last. read more »

Kiss Shot by Collin Kelley
" Kelley's short stories are gritty and fast-paced. He is particularly good at establishing a strong sense of place. I only wish there were more stories. "
Kiss Shot by Collin Kelley
" Fun, fast reads. I wanted to be more cynical about Kelly's South, but the stories were irresistible. The bath water was cold by the time I got out. "

Helene Hanff
“But I don't know, maybe it's just as well I never got there. I dreamed about it for so many years. I used to go to English movies just to look at the streets. I remember years ago a guy I knew told me that people going to England find exactly what they go looking for. I said I'd go looking for the England of English Literature, and he nodded and said: "It's there.”
