Come the Slumberless To the Land of Nod available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Written during the trial for a close friend’s murder, Come the Slumberless to the Land of Nod exposes that the whimsical, horrible, and absurd all sit together. In this ambitious fourth collection, Traci Brimhall corresponds with the urges of life and death within herself as she lives through a series of impossibilities: the sentencing of her friend’s murderers, the birth of her child, the death of her mother, divorce, a trip sailing through the Arctic. In lullaby, lyric essay, and always with brutal sincerity, Brimhall examines how beauty and terror live right alongside each other––much like how Nod is both a fictional dreamscape and the place where Cain is exiled for murdering Abel. By plucking at the tensions between life and death, love and hate, truth and obscurity, Brimhall finds what it is that ties opposing themes together; how love and loss are married in grief. Like Eve thrust from Eden, Brimhall is tasked with finding meaning in a world defined by its cruelty. Unrelenting, incisive, and tender, these poems expose beauty in the grotesque and argue that the effort to be good always outweighs the desire to succumb to what is easy.

This book was released on 2020. Refusal available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. "In Refusal, her searing new collection of poetry, Jenny Molberg draws on elements of the surreal-invented hospitals, the Demogorgon of Dungeons & Dragons, an Ophelia character who refuses suicide-to investigate trauma, addiction, and patriarchal forces of oppression. This confrontational collection examines societal, cultural, and personal gaslighting in situations of domestic abuse. "Love and hate simultaneously is the trick of abuse," writes Molberg, "and the trick of abuse is a vexation of the mind." A sequence of epistolary poems looks to friendship as a safe haven from violent romantic relationships, while a series of poems on a mother's struggle with addiction addresses the complicated nature of a parent-child relationship affected by alcoholism. Refusal seeks to break silences, following the #MeToo movement, and to interrogate a cultural misogyny that weighs heavily on a woman's position in the world"--
