Milk & Honey Siren has been published!
Milk & Honey Siren is a nonprofit anthology of fantastic poets and writers. This collection reflects Nostrovia! Poetry's mission of ridding the youth of their stereotypes of poetry. They label it "pretentious and boring". Milk & Honey Siren aimed to show them otherwise, and I believe it has succeeded.
Amazing poets such as Kyle Hemmings, Nathan Hondros, Lauren Fremont, and Seymour Roth have found home for their poetry in this collection.

Reviews
"M+HS is a pick-and-choose medley for differing tastes of readership, from somewhat traditional narrative poems that invoke popular culture and sentiment, to the aesthetically intriguing and bizarre, the abstract works that seize us in delight."
"Overall, the range of topics, authors and styles is still pleasing rather than confusing. As several poets contribute pieces to more than one chapter, one has the chance to re-discover a favorite and get a better idea of each author’s work. Grouping individual poems under a thematic idea is nicely executed here...the poems represent an eclectic mix of various styles and contents."
"Refreshingly, and perhaps surprisingly, it focuses on quality rather than accessibility: the message here is that poetry is often complex and challenging, but can reap tremendous rewards as a result.
...the overriding sharpness of skill and insight afforded by this mix of emerging and established poets may well generate great leads for readers seeking new sources of inspiration."

"You might not like all of this book. The whole thing might not blow hell fire into [your] pajamas. But then again you probably don’t like everyone who lives on your street, or in your building...but if you’re not planning on moving you’re probably pretty content with the whole situation. It’s the same thing with Milk and Honey Siren. There is a lot to enjoy here. The already mentioned alternate realities, the themed sections, the occasional mention of masturbation should please the onlookers. It’s a solid and diverse collection. Some of it’s as heavy as poetry can be. Some of it light but intriguing conversation...but certainly a lot of something for a lot of everyone. Keep an eye on the Nostrovia energy...keep your foot in this book."
