Poetry from Frayed Edge Press

Our poetry defies expectation and convention both! Featuring:

The Splooge Factory by Christina Springer. Informed by theories of feminized eroticism and a feminist inquiry of power dynamics, these poems reflect the real stories of the real women in an “adult services” massage parlor.

¿Cómo Hacer Preguntas? or How To Make Questions by Daniel Hales. This poetry collection explores the spaces from which questions arise—the memories, musings, and metaphysics we use to seek out meaning.

​The Ghettobirds by Bryant O’Hara. Aftofuturist speculative poetry with a hip-hop beat. Includes the Rhysling Award-nominated "Hoop Dance."

The latest two numbers in Frayed Edge Press' Street Smart Series of Short Fiction are now available!

#6 - "Make the Bear Be Nice" by Stephen St. Francis Decky. Both poignant and funny, this story concerns a homeless teen working nights cleaning movie theaters at a South Jersey cineplex. He forms an unlikely friendship with a former high-school classmate and his sister, while also struggling to come to terms with his estranged father. The story culminates with a chaotic uprising during a screening of an annoyingly ubiquitous summer blockbuster kids’ movie.​ 

#7 - The Day is Gone by Shelonda Montgomery. In this story, a Chicago family’s lives are disrupted when two young brothers and their friend discover the body of a local store owner in a ditch. The children are so used to seeing violence in their neighborhood that they don’t bother telling anyone. When their mother finds out, it sets in motion a plan to move the family to a safer neighborhood. Complications arise when their father loses his job and abandons them, leaving their mother to ensure the safety of the family on her own.

Speculative Poetry Volume Now Available

6/21/2021

Now Available

Frayed Edge Press is pleased to announce the publication of Bryant O'Hara's collection of speculative poetry, The Ghettobirds.

​The thirty poems in this volume celebrate the ability of humanity to adapt to, surpass, and possibly transcend its environment and its origins. Sprinkled throughout this Afrofuturist collection are a series of recurring characters called the Ghettobirds, cybernetic beings created out of a technological singularity event that occurs in a slum. These beings exist to help humanity change itself so that, in time, it will have the capacity to leave its home world.

O’Hara works with a love of both the natural and the artificial world, and uses rhythm and cadence to compress thought into images of just how strange our experiences can become as we learn to shape—and be shaped by—both worlds.
