Seasonal haiku, tanka and short poems exploring nature subjects and tableau within the thriving metropolitan context of Minneapolis, as springboards toward reflection and meditating upon certain agonizing events grappled with at the time of their composition or shortly previous. Including pieces published in many prestigious magazines and literary journals, Bathtub Poems is a comeback story of sorts, about the importance of retaining hope, how integral friends and family, faith and community can be when overcoming adversity, amidst life's many upsets and struggles. 87 pages in length with 1-3 poems on each page (32 of which have been previously printed, in 20 different prestigious journals and magazines including Asahi Shimbun, Bear Creek Haiku, Better Than Starbucks, Fresh Out, Haiku Dialogue, Zen Space) this is Berglund's first full-length collection to be released through a press.

A fragmented, kaleidoscopic portrait of an aborted young adulthood, in the worst corners Los Angeles and the entertainment industry have to offer. This novel follows a pair of starving artists, in a relationship and careers whose maturation have been rudely arrested, and doomed to fail despite their best efforts, for economic reasons before they have even begun. They further grapple with addiction, promiscuity, and egos which do not help matters any. The narrative is structured episodically, organized around an illuminating array of thematically significant, iconic locations, both familiar and legendary, to residents of the city and also for those who know them from portrayals in popular media. About the Author: A graduate of the University of Southern California's Cinema-Television Production program, Jerome Berglund spent a picaresque decade in the entertainment industry before returning to the Midwest where he was born and raised. His recent and forthcoming writing publications include short stories in Paragon Press, Stardust, and the Watershed Review, a play in Iris Literary Journal, and poetry in the Dewdrop, Wild Roof, and a Flying Ketchup Press anthology collection. He is also an established, award-winning fine art photographer, whose black and white pictures have been exhibited in galleries across New York, Minneapolis, and Santa Monica.

A very short book of very short poems by a reasonably tall man, who hunches so he can converse with normally proportioned people without discomfiting them.This book of haikus and snatches of verse explores nature in its many incarnations, human and bestial, regimented and anarchistic. From the bucolic expanses of Richfield Minnesota to the blood-spattered tenements of Los Angeles, wild/life shudders but will not stall on you. It will take you somewhere engaging. The ride is short, best strap yourself in tightly.

When tragedy strikes a renowned throuple of big cat wranglers, and their third wheel is slain by a tiger performer, the distraught female lead commits suicide by feline, and her reeling husband follows shortly in her footsteps, but not before releasing their entire blood-thirsty menagerie of exotic beasts upon a small Nevada town just outside Vegas, to stalk unsuspecting residents in search of easy prey.
