Karina Pen Name K. K. Biernath
It is never too late to rediscover yourself and become the person you were always meant to be!
Karina, who writes under the pen name K. K. Biernath, is a Polish-born author, poet, and speaker whose work focuses on vulnerability, courage, and the inner and landscapes of women's lives. Now living in Pennsylvania, she draws inspiration from her personal journey—including
motherhood and raising children with special needs.
She recently published her first book, a memoir, Karina: One Woman's Journey from Fear to Freedom.
She wrote this book with her children in mind, to tell them, and others, through the book and her words, that anything is possible in life.
You can be whoever you want to be.
Do whatever you want to do.
Live however and wherever you want to.
She lived a life she thought she was supposed to. Career, marriage, family, and success—but inside, she was lost.
Her body began to break down, and that was the wake-up call she couldn’t ignore. She then came to realize that her very own thoughts were making her sick. And if her thoughts could make her ill, then

January 31, 2026 (Bonus Episode) Book 101 Review, in its sixth season, features Dewy, as my guest.
Title Goes Here: Adventures in Foolishness
Have you been craving something... aberrant?

Title Goes Here is a foolish adventure via a collection of curious stories and unusual styles. Through your journey, you will follow a fool's path to exile, hear from presidential candidate Sally McBride, and even learn how to be invisible.

First on your itinerary is a section of existential poetry that includes a sobering look at the true cost of watches and war. Next are five short stories that range from mildly funny to so abjectly bleak they warrant a trigger warning. Lastly, you are walked through original spells that provide an eclectic viewpoint of magical concepts such as summonings, immortality and the aforementioned invisibility in a surprisingly applicable and practical manner. Together, your expedition is one of disillusionment.
It is my hope that you will be a more foolish person after having read Title Goes Here.

January 28, 2026 Book 101 Review, in its sixth season features Mickie Kennedy an Award winning gay poet as my guest.
Mickie Kennedy
Award winning gay poet writing about childhood trauma, mental illness, survival, and healing.
Mickie Kennedy is a gay poet whose life spans three distinct chapters that resonate deeply with listeners. A violent childhood marked by silence and fear. An adolescence shaped by the AIDS crisis, where desire and danger were inseparable. And a present grounded in reflection, healing, and survival. He doesn’t speak as an expert offering solutions. He speaks as someone who lived through it and learned how to name it later.
What makes Mickie a strong podcast guest is his ability to talk about trauma without turning it into spectacle. He understands how to hold difficult material with care, humor, and clarity, making space for listeners who may recognize their own histories in his. His conversations often open into discussions about memory, masculinity, queerness, family systems, and what healing actually looks like over decades, not months.
Hosts who book Mickie get a guest who is thoughtful, emotionally literate, and grounded. He respects the audience, honors boundaries, and knows how to tell a story that invites listeners in rather than overwhelms them.

January 24, 2026 (Bonus Episode) Abstract Essay in its Fifth season, features Andrea W LeDew as my guest.
Polemics: Political Poems & Prose
The collection Polemics: Political Poems & Prose takes the reader on a disturbing, wide-eyed ride through the years 2016-2025 in the United States. It highlights the political nightmares and triumphs, both familiar and forgotten, experienced by Americans during this time.
To endure the tempest of the current era, Polemics clings faithfully to old-school liberal themes. These are delivered as rhyme, essay and fiction. Its affectionately nostalgic patriotism will resonate with anyone, who has been paying attention long enough to notice, that things have changed. And not for the better.
As Americans try to navigate an America they have never seen before-an America they barely recognize-Polemics will serve as an anthem, an incantation, and a call to action. This collection aims to guide their forlorn liberal souls through dark times, toward something better.

January 20, 2026 (Bonus Episode) Usurper Kings Poetry Collection by Sapha Burnell
From her amazingly visceral opening of Let There Be Light to her final haunting echo in the book’s epilogue, Burnell’s voice jumps off the page, much like a microphone-wielding circus MC standing centre ring. [Usurper Kings is] a work of breathtakingly beautiful discovery." Kevin Hogan
Sapha Burnell’s stellar poetry collection inspects the feminine through time.
From act I’s genesis and the search for meaning within the hunter gatherer mindset, to the existential singularity of a transhumanist future, Usurper Kings is a mind bending cerebral and emotionally rebellious series of poems.
Infinitely feminine, mighty and sometimes rebellious, the essence of Usurper Kings is the search to remember feminine might and discover the power to take it back.

While continually feeling the pain of being ostracized for surviving, Faialian finds strength in her two childhood friends, Darque and Gaela, and her faith in her Special Being.

Only she knows what she carries inside, and as she runs into the fire, she must open herself to all that dwells within to emerge and begin anew. With help from her friends and her own inner strength, now only time will tell if Faialian can find a way to let go, let be, and let life so she does not just survive, but instead thrives to become her true self. In this inspiring story intertwined with original poems, a woman sets out on a journey of self-discovery as she courageously explores the process of grief after the sudden death of her husband and the absence of the one person who was a part of her very core.
