FOUND ON BATHROOM WALLS by WJ Lindberg
FOUND ON BATHROOM WALLS by William James Lindberg is Penhead Press’ third installment of the chapbook series.

What is it about remarks on bathroom walls – you can’t not read them. They are not all gems of literature but sometimes, something will stick. Found on Bathroom Walls scribbles its wisdom in our psyche, lets us savor each phrase, each sound created by words found and folded in together on the page. William is a true poet, a person who finds beauty in words everywhere and can present them to us like a plate of the finest caviar with all the trimmings. A teardrop in time turns into a poem about his father, moving home turns into an epic worthy of Charlton Heston.

Color Red Cover Redraft-05012014 - color font
The Color Red Does Not Sleep by Dawnell Harrison is the first installment of Penhead Press’s single author chapbook series. The cover art and interior art was created by Dion Loubser.

THE COLOUR RED DOES NOT SLEEP (a brief description by Dion Loubser), it burns. The colour red smoulders and glows, sparks and throbs. The colour red is passion and anger and lust, pain and victory, sunset and fire. Dawnell Harrison presents us with a journey into the heart of a colour that represents our hottest emotions, a colour that reflects the duality of our nature. Other colours may calm and soothe, cool when things get too hot. But red! Red is the planet Mars, named for the God of War! Red is rage, the pumping of blood…yet red is also the colour of love, the glow of red wine; red is sensual, red is sexy. The poetry here will take you on this journey, and like the colour red, it does not hold back. This poetry shoots straight at the heart, as bold and real as the colour red itself.
