Anis Mojgani, two-time National Poetry Slam Champion and winner of the International World Cup Poetry Slam, has put together Songs from under the River (Write Bloody Publishing), a best-of collection showcasing his uplifting words, playful surrealism, and journeys through imagination.

Mojgani's latest poems are tinged with the sound of crickets spying on us in the darkness. They move forward honestly, brutally and sweetly. The reader will be led into briar patches as well as the moonlight just on the other side.
