'David Kelly has an uncanny ability to dissect the most mundane moments with unexpected bursts of insight. Laced with David's bizarre sense of humour, quartet is a collection of poetry like no other. It tantalises the senses and makes you reach deep into your own humanity to reflect upon snippets of time, real or imagined. From the environmental swirl of life in the forest, grasping the message from a dying man's handshake, memories of an expectant toddler, through to creating a regiment of the elderly with scooter trains, David's poetry is firing on all four cylinders.' - Suellen Drysdale, President, Goulburn Valley Writers Group'David Kelly continues his exciting quest to find different ways to write and present poetry. His fourth book quartet shows four of these ways. The first section contains prosaic paragraphs about everyday life in a country town, the second section has poems in the happy, primal voice of a child, the third section contains long descriptive poems about trees, birds and the families of the bush and the final section presents narrative poems about family struggles which read like a poetry novella. Kelly's poetry focuses on small but resonant details which celebrate aspects of an Australian way of life.' - Myron Lysenko

This collection of poems is the authors' first, and reflects his wide-ranging interests. It will appeal to anyone who, like the author, has spent a number of years on earth and has struggled to make sense of it all.

Midnight Radio explores the complex landscape of intimate attachments, offering nuanced, original perspectives on the ambiguities that pervade them. The collection reflects a clear-eyed intelligence and a sensibility at once ironic and vulnerable. Often conversational in tone, satisfyingly varied, these compact yet multi-layered poems, deeply observed even at their most playful, engage both heart and mind.'There is a hot black nerve running through Midnight Radio which Michael Sariban plays with unnerving lyrical confidence. This is a collection of poetry that gives a fiendish pleasure.' - Dorothy Porter'These poems glide beneath the eye, the lightness of their surface deceptive. Unapologetically direct, they chart a course through the debris of contemporary culture, mingling intimate reflection and sardonic detachment.' - Amanda Stewart'The poems are really sharp and clear and very stylish...a multi-pronged investigation of love and passion.' - Martin Duwell

"Go through the pain.Go through the loneliness-Until you find yourself stronger than before;Until you find yourself comfortable with being alone; Until you find yourself smiling and laughing again, Even without the company of another hand to hold."-And they say hyper-independence is a trauma response-An Ode to the Fallen, Anjel Reyes"Come and sit with me,As we sing this unsung melody.The voice of victors and fallen heroes, Of silent battles, of stories untold.Come and sing our requiem. For the souls of our dearly beloved. The ones who succumbed thyselves to the dark, The once who fought for a scant of light."-Unsung Melody, Katrine Madayag

'Dominic Kirwan's latest collection of poetry, Spreading the Bad Word, is jaw-droppingly delicious, and I say that as someone who does not usually consider myself a fan of the genre. Like a lot of people, I thought of poetry as the realm of greeting cards and teenage girls, but this is some great, grown-up stuff. Kirwan is a master craftsman of words, an architect that rummages through his vocabulary of nouns, adjectives, and verbs and then links them together to build tantalising towers of emotional intensity that will awe anyone lucky enough to read his finished masterpieces. This collection is not for the faint of heart. Kirwan will often leave the reader breathless as he whips his audience around the corners of his reality. You may never be quite sure if you are wandering through the poet's own mind or some nightmarish painting, bold in colour and shocking in its subject matter. Either way, you will be enthralled, perhaps a tad frightened, but entirely wanting to follow him down this dark alley and into the next. Each poem is its own chapter of life, some overlapping, but each a spectacular explosion of feeling. Whether addressing the unbearable realities of love, loss, religion, regret and death, Kirwan also uplifts in his unique way on subjects like gratitude and motherhood, and he is guaranteed to shock with his takes on abortion, social media, and loneliness. I consider it an honour to recommend this book to both the poetry geek and the non-believer. Let Kirwan introduce you to his unique world that is intimate, appalling, and delectable all at the same time.' - Grace Noble, English teacher, spectacular commentator extraordinaire

Building Bridges is an anthology showcasing my journey into micro poetry, featuring my previously published haiku, tanka, and tanka prose. Within its pages, I explore small moments from my own backyard and childhood, drawing inspiration from the majestic snow-covered mountains and volcanoes in the North Cascades, as well as the towering giant trees that surround me. The ever-present view of the Puget Sound, which I witness daily while teaching young students, and the rhythmic ocean waves of the Pacific blue, further contribute to the tapestry of my poetic musings. It is in those quiet moments that I find myself crafting new songs. As a dedicated teacher, I have had the privilege of instructing students across various grades, including kindergarten, second grade, third grade, and special education. Beyond the classroom, my passions extend to writing, reading, yoga, photography, and spending time outdoors with my family. In 2013, I ventured into the realm of fiction with the publication of my middle-grade novel, 'Broken Bridges.' My writing journey has also led me to contribute to the education market and share a diverse collection of poetry and short stories. Currently residing in Washington state, I am accompanied by my beautiful wife, Jaci, and our two beloved kitties. Together, we cherish moments with my two children and three stepchildren.

A book of inspirational poems about nature, love and spirituality which encompass depth and meaning. Some unique artwork is included in the book as well.A Gift from GodGod gave me a gift thatI wasn't sure I deserved.He was ever so kind andPerhaps a bit reserved. He stole my heart awayIt caught me by surprise.I found it hard to believeBut he said he liked my eyes. God decided it was timeFor me to be content.It took a while to see but I knew just what it meant. I had finally done my timeBut never saw my worth.The years were quite unkindBut He led me to rebirth. Jean Marie Patty

Mark Lidtke, a devoted Christian who served as a public middle school teacher for three decades, shares how the Lord has guided him even when he struggled with his faith.

The haikus can be used for daily inspiration or as building blocks that will help you celebrate a deepening relationship with Christ. Whether you're struggling with your faith or want to cultivate a connection with God for the first time, this book will inspire you to live your best life.

Through the use of poetry and prose, I hope to express the love, affection, tenderness and devotion which I first found with my family in our big log house, far back in the woods. I want to show how the urge to write about my life has followed me along moutain trails, down city streets, and within my own special friendships and romantic adventures. All those events do not hold a candle to the importance of raising my beautiful children, or to the myriad of the ongoing spendid experiences with my grandchildren and great grandchildren! Happy reading!

She gave all the glory and credit to God, for as she said, "If it's good, it is God. I can do nothing except those things which the Lord enables me to do." Raimonde had a PhD in Christian Counseling.

She was wheelchair bound because of Multiple Sclerosis, but she stayed busy-always creating new things-keeping her mind sharp, and her heart open to God and people. In reading this inspirational book, you will be blessed and hungry for more of God. And in the openness of Raimonde's style, you will not be disappointed. Her work can also be found by going to Facebook and typing in "On Eagles Wings." May you continue to be blessed as you read, "Abundant Life." May this be an encounter with God you will never forget.
