Awesome Books is pleased to announce the publication of Jimmy Cvetic's Secret Society of Dog. Cvetic is a retired cop who writes poetry like Bukowski with a badge, offering a unique glimpse into the real life trials, tribulations, and black humor of police work. Working in Pittsburgh for over 30 years, as a uniformed officer, an undercover narcotics officer, and a homicide detective, Cvetic bears witness to the full range of the human drama - from horrific tragedies to dark comedies of folly. "These are the best poems I've ever read about cops. Not only are the voices totally convincing, but the poems are various in terms of tone and content. And the comic poems bristle with a black humor appropriate to their subject. Secret Society of Dog is a terrific read."
Ed Ochester, poet and editor of the Pitt Poetry Series "This is a poet that moves me and scares the hell outta me but he's too much of a human being to veer from the truth. He's a retired narcotics officer that lived the streets, who writes from depths of soul. His poetry speaks to the heart of the human condition." Nick Nolte Secret Society of Dog by Jimmy Cvetic: $14.95 + $3.00 shipping and handling -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Translated from the Night by Jean-Joseph Rabearivelo: $16.95 + $3.00 shipping & handling
Jean-Joseph Rabearivelo (1901-1937) of Madagascar is considered Africa's first modern poet. Hailed as "a pure African surrealist", his remarkably original work fuses urban European surrealism with his own bucolic surroundings in Madagascar. Translated from the Night, Rabearivelo's last book published during his lifetime, is a lyrical masterpiece of 20th century poetry. Lascaux Editions is proud to present the first complete English translation of the entire text, in this inspired translation by the poet Robert Ziller. "These translations read beautifully." Dr. Henry Louis Gates, Jr.
