What happens when your dream mission to Mars is a reality TV nightmare? "Ebenbach is more at home in the minefield of ambiguity than most of us are in our houses." ―Roy Kesey, author of Any Deadly Thing For the six lucky scientists selected by the Destination Mars! corporation, a one-way ticket to Mars--in exchange for a lifetime of research--was an absolute no-brainer. The incredible opportunity was clearly worth even the most absurdly tedious screening process. Perhaps worth following the odd protocols in a nonsensical handbook written by an eccentric billionaire. Possibly even worth the constant surveillance, which is carefully edited into a TV ratings bonanza on Earth. But it turns out that after a while even scientists can get bored of science. Tempers begin to fray; unsanctioned affairs blossom. When perfectly good equipment begins to fail, the Marsonauts are faced with a possibility that technology simply cannot explain. Irreverent, poignant, and perfectly weird, David Ebenbach's debut science-fiction outing, like a mission to Mars, is an incredible outing you will never forget.

How to Mars

The poems in Mother is a Verb reveal a very forthright study of who our mothers really are. After reflecting on the mother-relationship, I decided that we all have intensely strong thoughts about our mothers, grandmothers, or anyone else who became our mother figure. These can either be positive or negative. At some point in our lives, by pinpointing who our mother figure really is/was internally, we then can begin to understand our own flaws, our own talents, and our inner voice. Mother is not just a word, but it is movement, it is action. Mother is our future and our past. Mother....does. Mother...is. Poems by: David Ebenbach, Jennifer Givhan, Brian Bodeur, Kiley Bodeur, Alyssa Yankwitt, Bree A Rolfe, Steve Brightman, Heather Minette, M.J Iuppa, and more.
