Dear readers and poetry lovers, It is with great emotion and enthusiasm that I share with you my latest work, a deep dive into the universe of words and feelings. This book of poetry is an intimate journey through the nuances of life, where each verse is an echo of the heart, each stanza is a sigh of the soul. Symphony of 100 Poems Synopsis: In these pages, I sought to capture the ephemerality of love, the melancholy of longing, the bravery of hope and the mysteries that weave the web of existence. Each poem is a painting of emotions, an invitation to reflect on the wonders and challenges that permeate our journey.

May La Poi is an anthology dedicated to the celebrations of the 1st day of May by the Poets of NLHF. 'Poila May' means 1st of May in Bengali. Hence the name is derived from Bengali by reversing the syllables.The idea is to write Japanese Lanturne poems with a unique mathematical title for each poem. Mathematically calculated 'Titles' are given to each poem. This formula for deriving a unique title for each poem was invented by Noel Lorenz on 30th day of April 2023. Using this formula, two poems can never have the same title. As all men are unique, all poems are unique. Like man, like poem.The first ever 'May La Poi' festival is dedicated to 'Raunak Saluja', the manager of 'Kaerou Ze Japanese Concept Community' for his dedication to the international writing community under Noel Lorenz House of Fiction.Come, let us enjoy the 'May La Poi' festival.

Parole aux sentimentsQuand la poésie interpelle...Ma plume est blessée et ma plume saigne. Elle saigne car l'humanité souffre. Elle saigne car la confiance agonise et continue de saigner car l'égoïsme se porte bien...Le temps passe et l'actualité confirme cette cicatrice qui ne cesse de s'approfondir. Le temps passe et la société n'en fait pas assez pour mieux rebondir.Alors ma plume s'applique à exécuter son rôle de transcrire sur papier, malgré quelques lueurs d'espoir, plongeant ainsi sa pointe dans ce qui ne devrait se trouver dans l'encrier...

In Ruined Music, the failures that come with living are redeemed by the lyricism, tenderness, and humor of their telling. Valentina Gnup says in one poem, "I want the rain to fall like petals / every morning across the thirsty world." The poems in this book seem to do just that.

these poems were born of phone-note journal entries from a period of struggle with mental health struggles including an eating disorder, depression, and anxiety. they are raw and intensely emotional, and many are filled with a lot of pain. however, in these words, you can see a story of growth; not the neat, linear kind, but the kind that is messy and difficult but happens nonetheless. because journeys aren't linear. growth can be hard to see. in the midst of a difficult time, it can be hard to see anything but darkness. but with a little bit of hope, guidance, and resilience, it is possible to grow regardless. these are just a few points in my story, but you can see that in these words.through it all, i've always found that the light always wins. and i believe anyone reading this can find that light too.

Loss X Mental Illness is a collection of poems written by Aariona Harris during one of the most emotionally and mentally challenging times of her life. The goal with these poems was to offer solidarity to other readers who may go through something similar and ensure they knew they were not alone. While doing so Harris addressed her grief and to expel all the feelings associated with it, with the emotional reactions caused by her diagnoses. What reviewers say:¿¿There were moments reading this when I could see the 13 year old I was sure would be a lawyer, throwing out a witty retort to any would be offensive adult, and there were times I saw the young woman clinging desperately to a hand she would never get to hold again, which remains the single most heartbreaking thing I have ever witnessed. Her mother was a huge fan of poetry, and meaningful lyrics; and she was incredible at spoken word, and I think she'd be really proud of what her daughter has accomplished here. I can't wait for the next book.Christeena L. Putzer¿¿¿Aariona Harris' captured so many emotions and feelings in her book "Loss X Mental Illness". With each poem you can feel the emotions that are wrapped around every word. You can tell that the author has gone through so much in her short life. While reading I was shocked and amazed by what she has faced in a short amount of time. Not only does she bring attention to very important topics, she expands on them. This is a raw and honest view of mental health struggles at a young age. Grappling with life challenges that seem almost insurmountable including the loss of a mother, this narrative resonates deeply as it mirrors the silent battles that many young individuals face into today's world. Aariona's writing is viewed with a sense of resilience and hope as she navigates these challenges. It encourages a deeper understanding and empathy of those who battle mental health issues often in silence. The book is a beacon of hope and understanding. A reminder that even in our darkest time there is light to be found.¿¿¿¿Rebecca Durgin¿¿In Loss X Mental Illness, Harris bares her scarred and beautiful soul. Her poetry could not be more honest as she has sought to understand herself in the context of painful losses. John Zimmerman

As celebrated as Akutagawa Ry¿nosuke is as a short story writer, his haiku-the first of which was composed in 1906, the same year Akutagawa began to read contemporary Japanese literature-is relatively unknown outside of Japan, and rarely translated. Akutagawa's teikei (fixed-form) haiku, like his fiction, mostly eschews modernism in its embrace of classical forms, and derives as much from literary tradition as from lived experience. If not for their precision, learning, and psychological depth, Akutagawa's haiku share more in common with the haikai of the 17th and 18th century than with 20th century haiku. Frequently they portray a modern consciousness in relationship with an idealized nature that exists more in the Japanese psyche than the landscape that surrounds him. Included in this volume are over 500 of Akutagawa's haiku in a new translation

Dot Girl is a memoir written in verse, with technicolor story bursting from the most beautifully wrought bare-knuckle lines. With courageous truth-telling (and fierce humor!) Linda Carney-Goodrich shares her personal roadmap from childhood poverty and family trauma to remembrance, mourning, and reconnection, reminding us that it is more than possible to emerge whole. Traipse alongside her in stealthy solidarity through the darkened dirty streets of pre-gentrification Boston, to the smashed-beer-bottle sands of Dorchester Bay and, ultimately, to the imagined horizons of a girl dying to be free.- Michael Patrick MacDonald, author of All Souls: A Family Story from Southie

In these astounding poems, Yanita Georgieva explores the different thefts and losses that accompany the human condition - from the theft of freedom and origin to that of loved ones and bodily autonomy. What happens after the theft? Can there be joy in it? At the heart of the pamphlet is an interrogation of grief, sexuality, and memory through the prism of the immigrant experience. Small Undetectable Thefts is an exploration of the ways in which our lives are marked by 'in-betweenness', loss and displacement, and what is gained as a result. A masterclass in the craft of the line, this is a pamphlet to savor and return to again and again.

How does one navigate life? This is a question asked by most teenagers on the planet, as they step on the edge of being an adult. This is a question I've asked myself for the longest time, as I traversed breakups and fought exams, questioned the very existence of my meaning, which I then expressed in these poems and extracts from my diary. The pages inside this book are windows into my soul. Little cries for help from the past couple of years. The paper these poems were written on listened to me when no one else was there. And now, I hope the words on the paper speak to people, help them realise they're not alone, promote them to seek help and possibly inspire them to live more. These poems are not just poems. They're words from my soul.

As an Irishman I have been inspired by the many talented poets from my country. The poems in this book are the result of my experiences in a rich and varied life and the fascination I have had with the history and life of my countrymen and countrywomen. The poems reflect the fact that I have explored many aspects of religion and philosophy in my life and I have come to the conclusion that for me the most important consideration is living a life with compassion and love for others.
