"Rita Mookerjee's False Offering, while providing a trenchant critique of the oppressiveness of "white space," is also glittery, culinary sumptuous, and scythe sharp. Shot through with equal parts "nectar and venom," Mookerjee's poems pirouette with muscular grace in a kaleidoscopic whirl of myth and alchemy, gods and feasts, rot and rose gold. False Offering is a feminist ledger of "battle armor meeting ballet." Like a medieval tapestry, it is piped through with an elaborate galaxy of nightviolets, rosewater, bonedust, "snakes and shibari," origami, and the KKK. It is a rare book in that even while flipping the middle finger; it has its hands held out in tenderness to those in need." --Simone Muench, Poetry Editor, JackLeg Pres
Neither Nero nor the Roman Empire; neither a being nor a nation - none of these is the beast 666 of Revelation, as this text finds through its immersive analysis of John's vision.

It inflicts environmental harm on Mother Nature as it afflicts our humanity with its smoldering global culture.As a spiritual force, the beast cannot be defeated by any physical means, let alone military. Its defeat may only come through the very antidote of selfish greed - the selfless perfection in love. Perfection in love nevertheless requires one essential element that the beast has taken away from humanity. Find out what this element is in this Book 2 of John's Universalistic Vision.

Voce Mea, the fourth volume of the first ever English translation of the Commentary on the Davidic Psalms by Denis the Carthusian (1402-1471), continues with Denis's literal, allegorical, tropological and analogical traversal through the entire 150 Psalms. This volume covers Psalms 76 through 100. St. Jerome exclaimed that "ignorance of Scripture is ignorance of Christ," and Denis heartily agreed. Indeed, outside of the Gospels, Denis maintains that the voice of Christ, the vox Christi, is found most strongly in the Psalms, though moderns, for a variety of reasons, appear to have developed a tin ear to it. Denis is the perfect antidote to this auditory malaise. Armed with a keen spiritual ear which is only sharpened by his contemplative spirit and his love for God, Denis identifies Christ's voice for us in the Psalms and amplifies it in his Commentary so that we might hear it above the din of those things which distract or deafen us to it, and might say with Samuel: "Speak, Lord, for your servant hears." (1 Sam. 3:10)
