Welcome from your friends at J.B. Solomon Editions! As you can see, we're jumping for joy -- even at the beach in January -- about literature, the arts, and Northeast Ohio. That's just how excited we are about our activities and offerings!
On this site, we offer more information about the three titles we have available so far. You can check out reviews and excerpts, and connect to online retailers where you can purchase these books.
First, there is Screaming Freedom, our latest poetry offering, available September 14. Penned by Allen Michael Hines, these poems explore the intricate particularities of a life with cerebral palsy -- and the common humanity that unites us all. This probing book is already causing quite the stir in the Northeast Ohio literary community.
Next, we have last summer's sizzling literary sensation, In the Hardship and the Hoping: Poems of Northeast Ohio. This collection gathers the visions of 19 Northeast Ohio poets, presenting a vibrant collage of love, loss, and life in this neck of the woods. It also marries poetry with photos by award-winning Cleveland photographer Greg Ruffing. Quite a number of its poems were featured last year on the fleet of SARTA buses operating throughout Stark County.
Finally, our inaugural title, Anywhere but Here, which showcases short stories by Tim Bugansky, is still going strong. We're sure you'll enjoy its unique and potently poignant cocktail of sadness, melancholy, yearning, and ill-timed urges to use the bathroom.
So pull up a comfy chair, draw yourself a pint, maybe pack a pipe with your favorite fragrant tobacco. There's always room around the fireside here at J.B. Solomon's place.
