ONE MORE RELISHED WHINES FOR 2018

 One more blurb for the year:

DESKARIL: 5 STATIONS IN VERSE by
 Xenia-Chloe Henson Villanueva 

Xenia-Chloe Villanueva’s debut collection ends with a last poem entitled “Tried Painting. Hated the Colours.” That title bespeaks one of this poet’s strengths: a deadpan mischief that will reward the reader. 

—Eileen R. Tabios

And one more Relished W(h)ines update of recently imbibed books and wines for the year.  As ever, please note that in the Publications section, if you see an asterisk before the title, that means a review copy is available for Galatea Resurrects! But as Galatea Resurrects is now on sabbatical, check back for when reviews will be taken again and published (no earlier than Fall 2019). More info on that HERE.
