DIG Reviewed in HIVE Indie Book Reviews

1/9/2023

0 Comments

 

​Robert Paul Moreira's mixed-genere collection DIG has been reviewed in HIVE Indie Book Reviews!

"From the start, it’s exceedingly clear that Moreira has a distinct, unique voice that the reader will either deeply love or abhor in its entirety. This concise manner of storytelling mixes modern individual culture with mythological and literary references in such a way that nearly raises a middle finger to the occasional snobbery of contemporary literary fiction and sets Dig apart from the very first. That is to say, this read was like nothing I’ve read before, and diving into it felt akin to a fully submersive dip in the strangest of pools."

Five-Star Review for Ere the Cock Crows

7/13/2021

0 Comments

 
"Ere the Cock Crows is a thoughtful and affecting novel about the psychological impacts of Nazism."

We're thrilled to report that Ere the Cock Crows, the first English-language edition of Norwegian author Jens Bjørneboe's novel, translated by Esther Greenleaf Mürer, has received a "5 out of 5" Clarion rating on Foreword Reviews. 

This edition contains a re-creation by the translator of the original play, as well as an essay by the translator and an introduction by Joe Martin of Johns Hopkins University.

The reviewer notes that "...the novel, play, and essay operate together to contextualize the work in its original post-war form, as well as in its new form." Read the full review here:

Frayed Edge Press author Daniel Hales recently participated in a virtual poetry reading organized by the Warwick Free Public Library, in Warwick, MA.

Daniel read from his recent book of poems, ​¿Cómo Hacer Preguntas? or How To Make Questions: 69 Instructional Poems in English and answered audience questions over Zoom.

A profile of Daniel and the virtual reading appeared in the Greenfield Recorder -- ​"Local author explores 'the spaces from which questions arise' with latest poetry book," written by Zack DeLuca. Daniel reflected on his writing process, the interplay of his music and his poetry, and how he recognizes when something's about to become a poem or song.

"The poems take readers on a journey and interrogate everything from the mundane through poems like 'How To Pass The Time,' to thoughts of fading love in 'How to Change Your Mind.'”

"Addiction, loss, and loneliness are just a few of the struggles characters navigate in Ambushing the Void, the debut collection by James McAdams. Outliers search for salvation from a syringe or the Internet, but what they really want is to find it in other people....

If the ongoing pandemic has you feeling isolated, anxious, and disconnected, Ambushing the Void, while not comforting, assures you that you are not alone."


Kirsten Bowen reviews James McAdams' Ambushing the Void in the Broad Street Review.

Daniel Hales' ¿Cómo Hacer Preguntas? or How To Make Questions: 69 Instructional Poems ​in English Reviewed in The Montague Reporter

4/9/2020

"...if you know any of Hales' previous work--and if you don't, I'm telling you now--nothing will be ordinary here. Torches will be lit, envelopes pushed, locks picked, tickets for the guided tour procured, and you'll find yourself, at the end of the poem, someplace you didn't expect to be. Hales is smart and agile with words, and funny in ways both outright and sly."
Trish Crapo of The Montague Reporter has provided an excellent review of ¿Cómo Hacer Preguntas? or How To Make Questions: 69 Instructional Poems in English as well as an interview with the book's author, Daniel Hales. To read the full review, go to:

Albert Tucher's Pele's Domain Reviewed in Crime Fiction Lover

3/10/2020

Like a good, fast-paced crime story? Are you someone who can appreciate the "ironic contrast between tropical paradise and dirty dealing"? Like a strong female lead? Meet Officer Jenny Freitas as she races to solve a series of murders on the Big Island of Hawaii, even as evidence is being gobbled up by the lava flow from the angry goddess Pele. 

​"Tucher made a good choice in setting the story in the midst of Kilauea’s eruption. It is not only an unusual adversary, akin to a hurricane or an avalanche, it adds an overlay of dread to the story – things are out of control. . . . Pele’s Domain
 is a quick fun read!" -- Vicki Weisfeld in Crime Fiction Lover

Friends Journal on Jeremiah Hacker

Congratulations to Frayed Edge Press author Rebecca Pritchard for another awesome review! Jeremiah Hacker's social activism was informed by his Quaker background, despite his rejection of organized religion. 

​
Thanks, Friends Journal, for the great review!
"In Jeremiah Hacker: Journalist, Anarchist, Abolitionist, Pritchard brings alive Hacker’s responses to the issues of the United States as they played out in Portland, Maine. She places him appropriately within the context of nineteenth‐century reformers and radicals. But also, through his observations and arguments, she reminds us of the timelessness of his appeals."
