"Poetry is alive for the duration that it is engaged. The words become latent, if not dead, the moment the reading ceases. They cannot be put on a shelf like a painting on a gallery wall and still exist. The lyrics must be split like a pomegranate and the seeds sucked out. There must be movement of air through vocal cords and neuroactivity in the brain. This is what makes poetry immediate, current. It exists only in the now," claims Noah M. Tysick. He holds an M.A. in English Language and Literature. For more information, please visit www.noahtysick.com.

A former pageant queen struggles with the realities of life off the runway in a novel “reminiscent of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Beautiful and the Damned” (The State News, Lansing). After being crowned Miss America a decade ago, Cathy Forester has been in some glamorous settings—but she has little to show for it. She’s endured a string of failed loves, a divorce, and the death of her parents. Restless by temperament, Cathy thinks she may have found a new life with a younger man, Peter Shaw. Peter is the son of a famous musician and is still battling to come into his own. Smitten by Cathy’s beauty, he jumps at the chance to step out of his father’s shadow. Together, the pair finds solace from the outside world, but have their frailties really disappeared? Ringing with authentic intimacy, Miss America is a powerful study of disenchanted love.
