"I am reborn here. In this conscious, in this body. I am breathing beneath the sun, a star that shines like all the others, but kind to stay it's wrath. I awaken on this planet amid those who've forgotten or those usurped by our times. Lost in this dissention I have become like a fish swimming against the current.
Leaping, flying--I've become divided."

The soft release of Marc Olmsteds Fresh Lotus Rehab is a quixotic and fresh rendering of poems-- a look into the personal planet of the poet, given in a post beat pace that marks the fourth installment of Virgogray Press' self-proclaimed chapbook revolution, which is geared to return poetry to the reader and to the poet. Marcs collection of work hails as a prime example of the type of literature Virgogray Press intends to produce. Olmsteds release is long overdo and offers a personal look into the writers life with observations only a poet could produce over topics from his brothers suicide to The 2008 Olympic Torch mayhem in the streets of San Francisco.

Justin Blackburn's new book of collected poetry, Farting Fire, is 40 pages of hidden wisdoms from this twenty-something poet. This book is an answer to the moody blues that sometimes get us down as Justin tackles many of life's quandries with honest, witty, and youthful verse. Still, readers might be surprised to find the content of his first collection of poetry to be light-hearted and filled with lessons good to learn, though sometimes hard to share.

Institutional Wallet is a personal and intrigueing collection of poetry by poet Suzi Kaplan Olmsted. Inside the covers of this collection, readers will find verse that is poignant, upfront, bemusing and even gritty. A great read, Suzi confronts the in and outs of the mental ward, reminisces over psych medication and offers a view so seldom seen by others outside the confines of what is viewed as "normal" living. This is a gem of a collection that contains work delivered with utter humility, quiet disbelief, subtle humor and a penchant for the unexpected.
