Collections

Collections of poems and flash fiction from various authors inspired by our e-zines Cowboy Poetry Press,  Z Composition and Annapurna. The third collection stemmed from the managing editor’s own personal theme. The Disorder and Unbridgled Anthologies have been moved to their own pages (see links above)

Some of the selections were previously published on cowboypoetrypress.com, zombiepoetry.com or annapurnamagazine.com

 

Red Dashboard LLC Publications and Annapurna Magazine is happy to add this anthology of literary-recipe-cookbook to our catalog– Devour this book. The recipe instructions evoke senti-mental feelings of home; they are honest, warming, and familiar, like chicken soup on a snowy day. Powerful, humorous language engages the reader, language like “To minimize dirty dishes, eat right out of the pot with utensil of your choice” and “The beer cannot be purchased, but must be received from forces beyond your control.” Clearly written by expert chefs, the re-cipes are precise and accessible to all readers. This book is full of romance, so much love in the enticing language of food. A literary-recipe (cookbook) work of art!

Clarify from Annapurna Magazine                                              Amazon Print
This anthology is a collection of moments and memories–Verses rest on the page like tasty morsels of divine goodness that for a twinkling takes us beyond meager words subject to intellectual interference and directly immerse us in emotion; in being, in the quintessence of Humanity. From the whimsical to a dirge the editors have assembled a compilation that speaks to every person because everyone, in one form or another, knows food.
