The pair moved down the aisle of the auction barn away from me, our brief encounter already forgotten. Will this horse doomed for slaughter be ransomed?

Next Line, Please gathers in one place the popular column’s plethora of exercises and prompts that Lehman designed to unlock the imaginations of poets and creative writers.

How can poetry thrive in the digital age? Next Line, Please shows the way.

They have plans for their life together: careers, children, and maybe even a house in the country. But life has other plans. Daniel works on the 101st floor of the World Trade Center. Erin is drinking margaritas on a beach in Mallorca, helping her best friend get over a breakup, when she hears a plane has crashed into Daniel’s building. On a television at the smoky hotel bar, she watches his building collapse. She makes her way home with the help of a stranger named Alec, and once there, she haunts Ground Zero, nearby hospitals, and trauma centers, plastering walls and fences with missing-person flyers. But there’s no trace of Daniel. After accepting Daniel’s death, Erin struggles to get her life back on track but makes a series of bad decisions and begins to live her life in a self-destructive fog of booze and pills. It’s not until she hits rock bottom that she realizes it’s up to her to decide: Was her destiny sealed with Daniel’s? Or is there life after happily ever after?

Download or read book Water for the Rose written by Wayne Luthi and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2021-07-19 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our world is a sea of poetry, yet with everyday demands for our attention and our survival, we are almost forced solely into the expedient. With little room left for a faculty that requires us to slow down for it to function, imagination, reflection, and wonder have to hitchhike to find their way to our deeper places. Like the old phonographs that played vinyl records, poems are running at 33rpm whereas the business of the everyday is running on 45 or 78rpm. 45 or 78rpm gets through the records a lot quicker but the beauty and clarity of the music are missed. The poems contained here are for when you have a moment to take that evening walk. The invitation is to find an experience of delight in an image or the association of images that we normally don't put together. My hope is that there are many pieces here that offer you a perspective that speaks to you in some way and maybe to a place in yourself that hasn't been spoken to for a while.
