"Camp Supernatural: Mind Over Matter" by Jonathan Solis
Lucas Fargo thought he was just a troubled teen dealing with ordinary problems such as having strict parents, performing poorly in school, and being considered a social outcast.
Everything suddenly changes when he is forced to leave his home to go to a place called Camp Supernatural, a training ground for others like himself who have abilities related to their disabilities.
During his time in camp, Lucas will grapple with his newfound abilities and forge bonds amongst others like himself that will determine if he should rise to the occasion or fail under the watchful eye of the enigmatic Camp Director, Henry James. As the camp mantra emphasizes: "Control it, so it doesn't control you.”
"Raccoon" by Karen Cline-Tardiff
"Stylistically inventive, filled with humor and light word play, Cline-Tardiff delves into what it means to look at what is wild and unpredictable."
- Susan Kay Anderson, author of Mezzanine
“Set in the most ordinary of circumstances, with clear and succinct language, these poems are a meditation on how humans interact with the natural world.”
- Su Zi
"Charge into Raccoon, where Karen Cline-Tardiff weaves a masterful narrative masking itself in the form of a serial poem - telling the existential struggle of woman versus the untamed force of nature."
- Yrik-Max Valentonis, author of 120 Days of Gomorrah, Cranium Theatre, and Short Stories Without Provocation.
