Yellow Chair Review: Many Full Hands Applauding Inelegantly by Darren C. Demaree
"Darren Demaree’s expansive, exquisite new book of poetry Many Full Hands Applauding Inelegantly is a puzzle with many pieces consisting of dozens of short poems, each of which are necessary in his pointillist painting of the human experience. This collection begs us to examine ourselves, but also to step outside of our bubbles and look at ourselves from the perspective of the other, and from the great heights of the universe. Here, all is interconnected, all hopes are shared, and all deficiencies are intentional and necessary within the boundaries of the world we inhabit."

"The Chassidic Trauma Unit" now available!
"The Chassidic Trauma Unit" by Abraham Boyarsky is now available!
“Through this fast-paced novel, replete with kidnappings, espionage and fugitive war criminals, Abraham Boyarsky captures the Chassidic communities, their lives and their voices.”
Sender Pleskin is a self-proclaimed trauma specialist dedicated to serving his Chassidic community and to ‘gently’ nudging it into modernity.
When a Bubmer Hasid child falls inexplicably into a coma, Sender and his team jump to action. Hunting down leads in his investigation, Sender follows the signs that he interprets to be divine providence as they lead them down a circuitous path that will test not only his faith, but all he was and is.
