This book is for those who do understand. Here is My Mistake and You.

Not My Life's Story is a poignant anthology of poetry, capturing the essence of transition from the brink of childhood through the turbulence of teenage years to the thresholds of young adulthood. Crafted over several years, this collection is an emotive journey, not bound by chronology, but rather woven through the myriad experiences and milestones that define growing up.Within these pages, the poems traverse a diverse landscape of themes. They delve into the profound and often challenging process of coming out, the bewildering onset of puberty, and the complex feelings surrounding body image and dysmorphia. Relationships, in their many forms, are explored with raw honesty, alongside the poignant experience of leaving home and stepping into the unknown.

"Whatever else it may be, poetry is foremost a witnessing, and D. Dina Friedman is our conscience and guide as she transports us to the border-physically and poetically-so we can better understand the pain and struggle that keeps "the machinery of the world running," and what drives a person to become so desperate that "he might send his daughter over the bridge alone to face the guards." How is it that we have become "people who love each other / hating the people across the river, who love each other." In deceptively plain-spoken language that reaches deep into what it means to be human, Dina uses her words to sharpen our senses and focus our attention. But if we listen closely, we will also find a necessary courage in "a child's pair of striped overalls hanging on barbed wires," or even in "a makeshift tent / called school," where hope hides in every heart "soft as the young cat / stretched luxurious across the bed," or a "puff / of milkweed riding the wave of the wind." Dina's words burst forth like a "bashful baby suddenly smiling." She teaches us, with humor, horror, love, and concentration what it means to truly see and listen to those in need. Here in Sanctuary-Whirling is a beautiful and important book of poetry." -Richard Michelson, National Jewish Book Award Winner, author of Sleeping As Fast As I Can "D. Dina Friedman's revelatory book captures the essence of what it means to be and remain human in times of tyranny. This book is a meditation tool for both seeker and cynic." -Magdalena Gómez, Poet Laureate of Springfield, MA (2019-2022); author of Mi'ja, a memoir noir

"Through textured landscapes and vivid, bittersweet memories, Mary Lou Buschi invites us into a life in which "not everyone wants to be found." These restrained and tender poems which explore grief, family and growing up Catholic in the 1970s also speak to the riddles of life, death and haunting. In a world where "a Cardinal with one wing whispers our names" and where "white clouds, the size of Bowhead whales" loom in our atmosphere, what does it mean to love and to remember? Blue Physics captures the essence of what it means to "open your mouth wide when you bite the sun," to acknowledge the burdens, mysteries and magic all around us as we go on "aiming at some cold invisible moon," and even as we "disappear into a flask of light." Joan Kwon Glass, Author of Night Swim (Diode Editions, 2022)

A collection of lovely poems covering a wide variety of topics and illustrated with some beautiful cartoons by Dotty Doodle. A very personal take on life with some very lovely observations and doodles.

The wilderness is an uncultivated, uninhabited, and inhospitable place. A spiritual wilderness is therefore, a place of isolation, desolation and unproductivity. A vast empty and barren state so, imagine wandering through the wilderness and unexpectedly stumbling across a solitary tree loaded with ripened exotic fruits ready to be plucked. The Wilderness Fruits (Volume 2) is a state of possibilities for new birth, renewal, powerful spiritual encounters and divine revelations. The author serves up a succulent selection of insightful experiences and reflections on wisdom, brokenness, hope, procrastination, time, focus, and right perspective. Along with the retelling of some legendary fables, including Aesop's The Mountain in labour, with morals that are relevant and applicable for today presented as musings and poetry to enrich, encourage, and empower. If you are looking for practical, applicable and inspirational encouragement, get Wilderness Fruits (Volume 2).

A cathartic poetic journey.Through the poems of Aderemi T. Adeyemi, you will see that like a free verse poem, there is no predetermined physical shape that our life must take. It is free to move as it dose. However, the thoughts that comes up in judgement of our circumstances do not have to be allowed to create the narrative. Instead we can watch thoughts come and go. Then choose to curate from our thoughts, and the emotions that follow them, the most beautiful verses of our experience and artfully make poetry from it all.

Kiirastulia runokokoelmassa kipuillaan mielensyövereissä. Pimeän syysmetsän halki kuljetaan valoon, jossa lääkärit ohjaavat hermosolut oikeille radoilleen. Sitä ennen vieraillaan köyhien joulujuhlassa, valitaan uusi suuri johtaja ja nautitaan potilaiden pidoista. Tästä teoksesta ei jää puuttumaan tragediaa, melankoliaa ja elämän kolhuja. Runoissa on mukana myös ripaus toivoa, iloa ja selviytymistä. Runoiksi puettuja kuvitteellisia tarinoita elämän varjopuolelta.

"What interests me in poetry is the interplay of language, the page, and silence. Heaven falls out of words because possibility is in the page, another kind of heaven; I wonder if that's the only heaven we are given to know in life." -- Edward Dickinson (Ted) BlodgettE.D. Blodgett's final volume of poems, Walking Into God, is the culmination of the poet's lifelong devotion to a poetry and poetics of the sacred. His mastery of craft, including cadence and sustained musicality, is unsurpassed in Canadian literature. Though this volume is divided into two parts (or sequences), these compressed poems present as a single long poem that explores the processes of walking, moving, changing, and evolving within a unified field.

"Il n¿était pas dans mes idées de publier un livre et je ne m¿y serais jamais décidé sans la bienveillante insistance d¿un grand nombre des auditeurs qui m¿ont fait l'¿honneur de suivre mon cours. Ils ont désiré ler résumé de mes leçons ; le leur refuser plus longtemps eût été de ma part de l¿ingratitude. Le livre que je soumets aujourd¿hui au jugement des horticulteurs n¿est donc sauf quelques additions que l¿exposé des faits qui ont été le sujet de nos conférences publiques... "

Der Gedichtband Zeitensplitter ist wohl der Band, der in einer der kompliziertesten Epochen meines Lebens entstanden ist. Die Covid Pandemie, das Ende von langjährigen Freundschaften, der Tod von guten Freunden, familiäre Veränderungen, und, und, und. In den Jahren 2000 bis 2023 ereigneten sich so viele prägende und einschneidende Ereignisse in der Welt, aber viel wichtiger in mein eigenes Leben. Das Schreiben von Gedichten war dabei immer ein Weg für mich, Situationen und Gefühle, die mich bewegten in Worte zu fassen, ja sie in eine Form zu gießen. So kann ich sowohl beim Schreiben als auch beim anschließenden Lesen alles nochmal überdenken, es analysieren und auch, ganz wichtig, innerlich verarbeiten.

Prosapoesin "När Solen Slocknar" av Mahdis Bigloo utforskar djupt mänskliga känslor och upplevelser genom en lyrisk och konstnärlig berättelse. Verket kretsar kring sorg, förlust och kärlek, och använder sig av en rik och metaforisk språkanvändning för att måla fram starka bilder och känslor. Genom olika delar och perspektiv skildrar författaren en komplex väv av livets skiftande öden och ögonblick, från glädjefyllda stunder till djupa tragedier. Texten undersöker även språkets begränsningar och möjligheter att uttrycka det outsägliga. Sammantaget skapar prosapoesin en gripande och mångfacetterad berättelse om människans existens och dess djupa kopplingar till kärlek och förlust.

From the award-winning author of The Bird Catcher, this life-spanning volume offers the delight of both discovery and re-discovery, as Ponsot tends the unruly garden of her mind with her customary care and passion. The book opens with a group of new poems, including "What Would You Like to Be When You Grow Up?”—a question that has kept Ponsot's work vital for more than five decades. Throughout the selections from her four earlier books and a trove of previously unpublished work covering the years 1946 to 1971, she offers us a "lost haven in a springing world.” Sometimes sharp in her self-perception, but always listing toward pleasure and elegance, unafraid of grief and the passage of time, Ponsot continually refreshes her language and the spirited self from which it emerges.

Along the river's stony marge The sand-lark chants a joyous song; The thrush is busy in the wood, And carols loud and strong. A thousand lambs are on the rocks, All newly born! both earth and sky--by William Wordsworth.

In the meadow by the brooklet was the wigwam Of the old squaw, Winganameo, who to Matoax From her childhood oft had taught the folklore, Tales of olden days beside the roaring ocean Where the White Man's ships were wrecked beside the beach, Where through pine woods roamed at will the stalwart Red Men.
