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.

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.

Dust of My Soul is the manifested essence of Roland Meyung's mind. This book contains forty six original poems, each showcasing another section of the author's mind. Dust of My Soul engages with the reader on an intimate level, pulling them close so they can fully understand the poetry inside. It prompts the reader to begin to question these same things about themselves, pushing to inspire positive change through the art inside."

After serving during the Vietnam War era, Mr. Woodward became a Paramedic in Honolulu, Hawaii. Because of this profession, he was able to support himself and travel extensively, visiting or living in forty-six countries, all the while keeping a journal of the whole fifteen-year adventure. Many of his stories and poems are derived from those journals. In addition to his poetry, Mr. Woodward has written two other works. His book, "Lights and Sirens, One Day in My Life as a Paramedic," and "Yard Sale Today," a small book about how to run your Yard Sale. Another book of poetry is in progress.

The zephyr of an urban city attracts people. For those who stay on, adapting to the hubbub, is inevitable. The cycle of experiences can be broadly shown in three phases. The Brahma Stage, is the learning phase which is full of zest and bliss, spiked with creativity. The Vishnu Stage, is the peak, where the feeling of knowing everything there is to learn, plateaus. The Maheshwara Stage, is when realities dawn upon the self as bitter they can be, in turn making one 'move on' and evolve. The vibrancy of experiences offered in a multi-faceted city, repeats this cycle for individuals. It rewards those who continue to stay, with undying grit and a street smart approach of a survivor.

Chrysalis depicts my journey from depression, loss, and abuse to freedom and love through poetry. I wrote it during a time of great pain, change, and ultimately growth; my "chrysalis period." This book is largely free-verse, with a few structured poems sprinkled throughout. My wish is for this book to provide hope and healing to those who have suffered from depression or abuse, and show them that there is sunshine on the outside of your Chrysalis. You will break through.

About The Author - Though born in Utah, Carolina has never lived in one place longer than four years. This nomadic lifestyle has taken her to Texas, for now, working as a 9-1-1 dispatcher. While Carolina was originally an English major in college, she quickly switched to study Experience Design (with an Art History minor!) at Brigham Young University - a major (and minor!) that she does not use. Ironically, her scheduled life of balancing work, church, loved ones, and live music is often broken up by inspiration and the desperate search for a pen to write down new thoughts that will eventually become stories and poems. Maybe she should have stuck with the English major.

"The Sounds a Shadow Makes" is a collection of poems intended to capture "the hidden." These poems bring a voice to the inner thoughts, restrained emotions, quiet fears, and restrained ideas that exist on the fringes and margins of our everyday experience. This collection brings attention to the individual and the way a person experiences life that is unique and distinct from all others. The main theme presented in this collection is that even things that may not be immediately perceptible to our conscience have meaning that is just as real as the observable.

Jennifer Ayala is a Texan native, born in Big Spring, Texas. Jennifer's affinity for writing began as a young girl where she found it to be her most trusted outlet of therapy. Through writing, Jennifer believes that many repressed emotions can be regurgitated, ultimately giving the writer emotional freedom. Becoming a mother has been one of her greatest life's joys. Through her never give up attitude, Jennifer hopes that her children will learn resilience, perseverance, and the faith to always believe in themselves. Jennifer's love for writing has given her a sense of therapeutic enlightenment and she looks forward to touching the lives of anyone who picks up her book and relates to her written word. When Jennifer is not using her free time to write, she can be found with her daughter's shopping around antique stores for vintage typewriters to add to her collection. Some of the works that Jennifer has been published in are known as a poetry book entitled "The Joys of Aging" by Poets Choice, "It's Time to Snuggle Up," a children's anthology book and "A Glass of Wine with Edgar," by Wingless Dreamer publishing.

There is a force no evil can destroy, There is a shield no cruel intention can know that it exists. They who are that force, that shield : are the pure messengers. Gliding in the cosmos at all times. Either standing guard or delivering a message. Sometimes, some people walk into our lives where we expressly say that we do not know where they came from, and that they were God sent.

Stephen Behrendt, in his review of my poetry collection wrote:"These poems are a meditation but also a celebration--of the peace and fullness that maturity brings . . . Each season has its own mood, its own mode. but it is all part of a single larger design; this fact of nature sets all in perspective."

This collection of poems is about rediscovering oneself and feeling reignited after a period of loss and heartbreak.Cover Designed by Koni from Germany Edited by Sandra Dsouza This book is 288 pages.

"Lisa M Kendrick has a poetic voice that is clear, distinct and sought after throughout Virginia's literary community. She is the Shero of matriarchs on social media and as the Bad Witch Poet she melts the ego of the patriarchs at every reading. Now in her new collection of poems we finally have Pandora in a box."Nathan M. RichardsonPoet / Author / Douglass HistorianSpiritual Concepts Publishing "I love the poetry of Lisa Kendrick. She makes my ass look timid, and I wasn't behavin' a bit. She makes bible bangers question their belief, consternation can be unsettlin'. You better know your grits 'til you tangle with her. I have, and I like the afterglow."Jack CallanLittle River Poetry Festival "Lisa M Kendrick's flow is even whether addressing social ills, personal tragedies or finding comfort. Her style is flawless and technique versatile, nimbly dappling impressionistic images with clearly and precisely capturing soulful memories. Often projecting quiet in presentation, but not soft - packing surprises and punching rough subjects. In this collection, she bares a past that built the woman warrior."J. Scott Wilson, editor-in-chief - Wider Perspective Publishing, Poet and Author "Power and beauty come together in the poetry of Lisa M Kendrick! Using brilliant metaphors and unafraid to paint her truth with words, the Bad Witch Poet, as she is known locally, crafts spell binding poems that both entertain and make you think long after you put down her poems."Chris FelanVisual artist and spoken word performerMusician with Deathhouse Blues
