Songs Of Sandy
The poetry community like everyone else was quick to mobilize when the disaster struck--and Songs Of Sandy is a poetry anthology that was put together in a month's time to comment on, reflect and speak about the hurricane. Most of the poets from the book are from the NY, NJ, Conn area--one of the major places the storm hit. 100% of the proceeds from the book are donated to Sandy Relief efforts.

The Perspectives Series
The Perspectives Series--poetry (and other writings) concerning autism and other disabilities was one of Local Gems's first poetry anthologies--and now the brand has gone on to achieve international acclaim.
Everyone has an opinion on autism. But it is usually only those who are in positions of authority, specialists, doctors, psychologists, who get to take part in the debates that make the decisions for the rest. Perspectives first and foremost aims to make sure that the people who are most affected by the phenomenon known as autism are not ignored.
