        Dandelions in Third Space Many immigrants experience the concept of third space, a culture and language unique to themselves within the intersection of past and present, of there and here. In  Dandelions in Third Space , Edytta Wojnar describes her own experiences with this third space she created for herself after emigrating from Poland, which resulted in the loss of language and family. Within this collection of 70 poems, many explore acculturation, investigating what it means to be an immigrant, what it means to be a writer who has lost a language. Expanding the metaphorical concept of third space to marriage, Wojnar describes the continual translation and adoption that occurs between two people’s backgrounds and psychological traits. Wojnar doesn’t shy away from any topic, describing her experiences as an immigrant, a wife, and a mother with refreshing, sometimes brutal, honesty. “My Mother’s Necklace”,  Dandelions in Third Space  “I left m...

        The Weight of What Remains: Poems of War, Memory and Renewal - A Veteran’s Journey Through Loss, Sea, and Home The Weight of What Remains  is a powerful and deeply human poetry collection tracing one man’s journey through war, memory, exile, and renewal. From the dust of distant battlefields to the hush of the sea at dusk, these poems move across continents and decades — from youth and military service to love, loss, healing, and the quiet strength of endurance. Written with clarity and emotional honesty, this collection explores: • War and its lasting echoes • Veteran experience and unseen battles • PTSD, survival, and brotherhood • Migration, identity, and belonging • Nature, sea, and the wisdom of the earth • Grief, memory, and lifelong love These poems do not glorify conflict. They bear witness to it — and to what survives after. Through images of deserts, oceans, stone walls, factories, fields, and moonlit waters, the voice that emerges is reflectiv...

Known for its vibrant color and unique flavor, this dessert has quickly become a globally acclaimed favorite amongst  kababayan  and foreigners alike. But little do people know that  cassava can be lethal  if prepared incorrectly. Rife with introspection, longing, and resilience, Mariella Clarisse concocts a multifaceted narrative of what the coming-of-age experience looks like from a (queer) immigrant perspective. “The identity of the Filipino today is of a person asking what is his identity.” - Nick Joaquín, National Artist of the Philippines Click here to get Ube Cassava on Amazon / Kindle / Kindle Unlimited 

  "Fighting the Workplace Mob" by Jesse Rosson My name is Jesse Rosson. I worked as the Human Resources Manager at Flynt Management Group, LLC and was stationed at HUSTLER Casino. I believed my calling there was simple: to lead with integrity, to protect the casino, and to uphold the principles of fairness and honesty in the workplace. But when I uncovered conduct that clashed with those very principles, I was forced to confront a choice: remain silent and protect my career or speak up and risk losing it all. I chose to speak up and use my voice. That decision led to my unlawful termination and the long, painful legal battle that followed. This book is more than a record of that fight. It is also a testimony of how God met me in my darkest hour. When my career crumbled, my faith was tested like never before. Yet through the ashes of loss, God revealed a greater purpose: to walk in truth, no matter the cost. As I grew closer to my faith, I meditated and prayed on this bible ve...
