A tes chemins, tes ronces, ta résilience qui s'obstine.Poésies courtes pour tous.

JULIO und ROMEA LIEBESBRIEFE von VENUS und MARSLiebe ist nicht nur ein Wort. Liebe lässt sich auch nicht mit vielen Worten vollkommen ausdrücken. Und doch finden Menschen, die sich lieben, oft eine Möglichkeit, mit Worten ihre Gefühle auszudrücken. Das große Geheimnis entdecken sie dabei, wenn sie zwischen den Zeilen lesen. So, wie es schon der berühmte Schriftsteller Saint- Exupéry ausdrückte, man sieht nur mit dem Herzen gut, so verstehen es Liebende auch, die Worte mit dem Herzen zu lesen. Geheime Seelenverbindungen ermöglichen es den Liebenden, auch in wenigen Worten zu fühlen und mit dem Herzen zu verstehen. Erkennen ist es auch in den stellenweise erotischen Briefen von Julio und Romea, die sich auf den nachfolgenden Seiten Venus und Mars nennen und eine schicksalhafte Liebesgeschichte erlebten.

The title-Remarkable It Is-refers to the poet's calling to notice things that most of us take for granted (such as our breathing and our hearts beating) but that actually constitute the miracle of our being alive. These poems range from the playfully wistful, to the probingly thoughtful (about old age and the specter of mortality as well as our place in the universe), and the satirical (especially about contemporary politics and world events). The poems in this new collection reflect a "late life" outlook, but they also speak to perennial topics and experiences that readers of all ages should be able to relate to.

An Aeneid for England! English Morn tells the story of two brothers, Hengest and Horsa, exiled from Angeln, who take service with the "Proud Tyrant", Vortigern, in Britannia. They act as mercenaries against the "Painted People", the Picts, and Vortigern rewards them with land. But a new threat arises - the "Rightful King", Aurelius, has built up a Roman-style legion to reconquer the country. Vortigern urges Hengest to bring many more of his people to serve as mercenaries - but the Britons don't take kindly to having so many foreigners in their midst and rebel. Hengest and Horsa are caught up in the chaos that ensues.

Entangled is a collection of poems by visual artist and poet Emily Church that examines the in-between state of being a daughter and a mother while maintaining autonomy as an artist. Church utilizes metaphors from the natural world to guide us back and forth through time, recalling memories of growing up in Kentucky to raising children in present day post-Pandemic Brooklyn. The poems examine themes of loss, growth, change, and what it means to let go. We are consistently reminded, when reading these words, that the writer is a trained painter, accustomed to sensing the world in a heightened visual way. Color and light permeate the work, and interspersed within the poems are ink paintings created during the early months of pandemic isolation. The drawings of trees and roots enhance the idea that the author is both grounded in her past, while reaching toward a future.

Mountain Retreats, Maloney's third poetry collection, consists of two poetic cycles in the tradition of the great climbing poets, Gary Snyder and Kenneth Rexroth. Where the sky begins ranges over peaks and valleys exploring the connections between nature and health as the narrative voice retreats into the Japanese Alps while facing an unnamed illness. All of this has happened before uses the mechanisms of the rock cycle - weathering and erosion - to come to terms with mortality. Drawing on an array of imagery and references, these poems strike out in new directions before looping back on themselves, rising and falling like mountain trails, all the while seeking clarity above the trees, where the sky begins.

The Library of Expediency is a literary work by Danny Clem, who previously authored Love Lost, Lost Love in 2018.

He has been encouraged by friends and family to continue to write, and a good friend Janice whom he has talked with many times through email and Facebook, and his great friend Jim Daddy Mac, who has given him a word or words for completion of his writing.

Dream Receipts is a poetry travelogue of hallucinated journeys to Japan from author Mark Apel. Dream Receipts explore themes of escapism, depression, faith, shadows, daylight, night terrors, daydreaming, and the surreal beauty of an imagined Japan.One evening in July of 2021, I found a literary passage into a foreign land. The land of Japan. I was in bed and then in the city of Tokyo. An unexplainable feeling of joy and dread fell over me. Now, after countless trips back and forth, the feeling is completely ordinary.At this point, how long I was there or how many trips were taken is beyond me to tally. But, I have made many notes both during and after in hopes of at least recording something as evidence of my going. A proof of passage, so to speak.The writings that follow are these notes.

INTRODUCTIONNearly all of the poems included in Riversong are new.They are expressions of personal love, transcendentalrealization, and my deep involvement with nature and music.STREAM. . .RIVER. . .FLOW, that starts off the FOREVERSONGS Section, for example, is a journey from youth's firstrealization of the power of music, when as a nine-year-oldboy, lying in bed, I held a plastic radio up to my ear, listeningto "The Grand Ol' Opry," and heard for the first time themagical guitar of Chet Atkins. I had never heard anythingremotely like what he was doing with his music. I was transportedinto the first heaven I had ever known.That musical experience awakened me to the realizationthat life itself is a stream, a river, an eternal flowng thatforever surrounds us and infuses us and carries us throughwaves of music, which only sometimes do we become awareof. Life is a RIVERSONG filled with light, fire, and beauty.Life itself is that RIVERSONG.As my life streamed on, other adventures appearedto me in that music flow - such as running away fromhome in Big Spring west Texas as a 14-year-old boy, hitchhikingto Memphis, stealing a row boat, and sailing downthe Mississippi River.That journey was the first of many adventures thatriver-streamed through my life, including learning how todrink beer as a college student, how to make love, and, lateron, how to play guitar, which hearkened me back to the musicof Chet Atkins. STREAM. . .RIVER. . .FLOW also includesa mini-biography of my journey as the lead guitarist with a"wild-haired singer" (which some readers will recognize asTim Buckley.)

RIP is located in a world of loss.Waddah Faris was Omar Sabbagh's maternal uncle. He was an artist, a nomad, a man who 'embossed' himself on those he knew, a person who '...when he walked into a room / God switched-on his camera' ('Charisma'). Above all, Waddah Faris was loved: 'People loved you because they knew you, and knew, too, / that kindness for you was inevitable, a lit fuse. / You lived your life like a full-bodied wish, careless with your care,' ('Life With Style'). His loss is enormous and for the poet and his family that loss is deeply personal. Those dying in Gaza are so many that the particularity of death is too easily subsumed in overwhelm. We can hardly fathom the enormity of the daily horror. The loss of a whole people leaves us aghast and '...when it comes to a starless catastrophe / like this, and all your tools go numb,' ('Losing Vocab') we need to ask what kind of world we are living in, how we got here and how we lend our support to the suffering. Moving between these two losses-each personal, each urgent, Omar Sabbagh asks us to care. He asks us to dare to look into the face of a child who, limbless, 'smiles at this father', who in the worst of worlds, continues to find joy, hope and love, 'This child of sheer perfect music, blow after blow after blow.' ('This Child Of Utter Song'). He asks that we see, '...people / just like me-with needs and desires, with projects / and hopes and fears-dying.' and ask ourselves, 'Who will protect / them? Because only that is real.' ('The Delusion')
