Before she ran away from the city of Vendor, Jill Strong was only known as a Daughter of Disgrace. Everything changes when she flees to the Forest and is given a treasure – ten silver coins – which she quickly loses.
It is up to Jill and Simon, the boy she meets in the Forest, to recover the treasure. To do so, the children enter Acchora, a world inhabited by the Drylings who hide in the belly of a dormant volcano under the curse of the Rashtakar, the cruel being who seeks the very treasure Jill has lost.
In Vendor, imagination and adventure are forbidden. In Acchora, without them, Jill and the Drylings have no hope for survival

God/he A collection of vivid, image-based poems, is both love song and shouting match, an existential celebration and struggle between the human and Divine. The work is written in the spiritual tradition of wisdom literature and paradox, framed by the stories of Job and Jacob who wrestled with God.
Themes the collection examines are the power and force of words, the risk of love, and the inevitable suffering of man and God as they live and interact with each other. Through the collection He faces the agony and insanity of existence head on as he starts to become more and more unfamiliar with the God he thinks he knows so well, a God who is a trickster and green-thumb, a bloodhound on the trail, a doctor who treats Chlamydia before lunch.

At least 1 in every 4 workers in Malaysia is a foreigner. Migrants have become an essential part of the country’s economic growth and productivity. Malaysia is also a country of refuge for tribes and nations from all over the world. However, despite their longing for a better country, migrant workers and refugees have not found an easy life. Malaysia’s laws, policies, and practices create an environment of vulnerability for both these groups in different ways. Unlike Malaysians, they are at a legal, social, and political disadvantage.
The reality of life in Malaysia leaves many migrants and refugees disappointed by the hopes they had of a better life. Migrant workers are vulnerable to exploitation and cheating. Because they are not given legal status, refugees are often arrested, detained in poor conditions, punished through imprisonment and whipping, and then deported.
Featuring photographs of migrants and refugees with stories that underscore their plight, Disappointed by Hope: Migrants and Refugees in Search of a Better Country is a call to compassion and action so that migrants and refugees are better protected from violence, abuse, and injustice.

Andrew Kooman sits down with each of the Gospel writers for a series of candid interviews. Among other subjects, the Gospel writers discuss suffering, the f-word, meaning in language, the Gospel, their personal poetics, cyborgs, and the apocalypse. Filled with fresh dialogue and surprising turns of thought, the Gospel writers are back at their game of surprise and inspiration.
Read “Saint John Discusses the Eighth Chapter,” the original poem by St. John published in Rock and Sling (2006). Note: the poem has strong language that may be offensive to some readers.
