Homeplate Was the Heart & Other Stories
by Joseph D. Milosch
88 pages, $17.00
ISBN: 978-1-7337025-5-3
Description
These stories are like the stitching that holds the cover on a baseball. What happens at home sets up what happens out in the field. In Home Plate Was the Heart, batting practice trains characters for daily life with no off-season. How does the stitching affect the pitch? Will it hold? Even if you don’t love the game, but blood binds you to someone who does, this book is for you.
– Brandon Cesmat author of Driven into the Shade, and When Pigs Fall & Other Stories.
Landscape of a Woman and a Hummingbird
by Joseph Milosch
71 pages, price $16.25
ISBN 978-0-9860600-3-8
About the Book
Not unlike Orpheus, Joseph Milosch sings a song of earth, a song of work, in a lyric voice that will lure readers to the vivid narratives of a good man’s life.
— Sandra Alcosser, Except by Nature and A Fish to Feed All Hunger
These merciless and irresistible poems fuse into a landscape of intimate close-ups, whether of buffalo bellowing their dominance in Yellowstone, the touch of the wife’s hands covered with dough, or the gravestone of the poet’s brother. For lovers of nature and of this harsh and amazing earthly life, this book is a feast of bracing, supple imagery that’s the opposite of the anemic and academic. These poems live; they breathe; they show off the trophies of their scars.

Description
The Book
“The poems of The Lost Pilgrimage are by a man who notices what happens. How rare that kind of listening is. Whether writing about his father, the war in Vietnam, his wife, childhood, work, fishing, faith, illness, silence, or anything else, Joe Milosch hammers dross away and leaves nothing extra. What’s left is a hard-won gift and blessing for the reader willing to open this book, enter these poems and join the journey.”
