What else would one expect from the youngest of ten siblings who lived in holey-roofed houses, picked spinach and cotton, and rode stick horses; or from a man who jumped out of airplanes wanting to be a hero, survived a car wreck which rearranged his face and body, quit drinking at age fifty, divorced and remarried, learned to play the piano, took up drawing and oil painting, and delved into the works of Carl Jung, resulting in an acute psychotic episode and an early retirement. He is currently dealing with memory loss and autumn leaves. Jerrel has written thousands of poems that reflect the disparity of his nature and interests. In arranging this book for him an assortment of topics and moods fell naturally into place. As it says in his poem, The Writer: Words tumbled from his pen like rocks in an avalanche, The only obvious meaning is something came loose higher up

Download or read book A Poet s Assortment Of Poems written by Ken Martinez and published by Booktango. This book was released on 2015-06-23 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is like a plant growing from a stone wall, a poem growing from a story. A few months ago, I opened my laptop and resumed last night’s work on this new literary project, which had no working title — centered on a collection of my poems and their stories. Some of the poems here are written or suggested in my autobiography, ‘Koko Ken’. I am having a hard time writing this section because the stories and elucidations are written within this book. Being a Spina-Bifida baby boomer, I wasn’t to live past six weeks. I’m sixty-four – by the blessings of the Lord, the plant is alive from the stone wall. So, here we are, growing from the wall, the stories and me behind the poems.

Download or read book To Be Alive written by Peter Cherney and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2004-05 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does it mean to be alive? An aptly titled compilation, many of "To Be Alive"'s poems suggest that it isn't always an easy journey. Nor a clear one, or one to be taken lightly. The poetry within "To Be Alive" encourages one to expand, as well as draw upon, his or her knowledge to help cope with difficulties in life. One of the poems is intensely personal, coming from the direct experience of the poet. The others are reflections of the explorations and observations that he has made. However, the intent of this poetry is not to instruct or tell a story, but to help one access the wisdom and inspiration he or she already has inside. Here is an excerpted poem from "To Be Alive: " "The Melody of the River" The melody of the river, the melody of the river./What does it entail?/It entails peace, calm, constancy, depth./It also can entail, /at other times, /rage, tumult, randomness, superficiality./The river flows along, no matter whether it is/peaceful, calm, constant, deep;/or raging, tumultuous, random, superficial;/or somewhere right in between./The melody of the river/is just like life.

This book was released on 2011-10 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Family Matters and Other Complications dramatizes the processes involved with immigration. Creating a trans-national identity and the emotional upheavals that occur with such a major change are at the center of this book about men and women at various stages in life as they try to feel at home in a foreign environment. The assorted stories and poems are woven around characters struggling with identity issues, and the subtle undercurrents make these complex family relationships come alive.

Historical borders are no longer valid and geographical boundaries have lost their meaning, unable to confine us to where we were born, as the world grows a bit smaller every day. Beginning in the late 1960s, the book covers a period of 50 years, traveling from the Himalayan Mountains to communities in America. About the Author: Author Latika Mangrulkar grew up in India as an army brat, living all over the subcontinent before coming to the United States at the age of 22.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘A Glimpse From My Gallery’ is a collection of some of the best 25 poetic compositions and is all about a myriad of complicated human emotions that people at times are able and at other times, unable to showcase to their loved ones. The name itself signifies its pertinence by offering a glimpse of the outside world from my ‘gallery’. Here, you (all my readers) will have a ride through my perception of profuse aspects of emotional jerks within a life. In my debut book, I have assorted copious conversational dialogues in a manner to let people have a vision of mine to take a look over a situation under the segment of ‘Matter That I Want To Convey’. This segment will conceivably be able to assist you to put yourself into my shoes. However, the exciting aspect of this book is that you’d probably not be able to check out astonishing rhyming words, but I can assure you that you will have a great time reading it. This book is undoubtedly very special and close to my heart due to many reasons. In the list of why it is so exceptional to me as it consists of innumerable compositions of mine that hold an extraordinary corner of my heart. It is the epitome of accurate balance between the bond and how people relate to a particular emotion that comes across their way. And of course! It’s my debut book and this is more than enough to celebrate good luck. Hoping from all of you, the love and feedback on how much you loved it and what you would like me to write on ahead. At the end of this note, all I would love to say to all of you is, just keep reading, keep loving, and keep showering your blessings over this book that has traveled a long journey so far.
Download or read book Proud Gods and Commodores written by James McMillan and published by . This book was released on 2021-06-20 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When I was young I ran with San Francisco's counter-culture revolutionaries, wanting to burn it all down, even a trek to Cuba for a radical meeting with Fidel, cutting sugar cane with him, then at dinner all of us eagerly listening to his self-serving yet sometimes rhapsodic even humorous exhortations on "El Pueblo" and revolution, unleashing within us that 'Ubermensch Derangement Syndrome, ' that your humanity is somehow greater than another's humanity, therefore empowering you over them, including of course a lynch-mob if necessary, because people are suffering. Later because of injury I virtually fell into Chiropractic college, a Damascus experience, Saul to Paul. Though this book is not about Chiropractic at all, it does reflect the profound change its study and holistic philosophy inspired in me. What an adjustment is to the body, a good poem is to the soul. A number of poems in this collection are what's called 'maguffins, ' which is an old Alfred Hitchcock term for plot devices, that is hinges upon which the plot swings but really themselves are not essential to the story. A classic example is the stolen money in "Psycho," or the gold or whatever it is in the briefcase of "Pulp Fiction," or even one could say the blackbird itself in the movie "Maltese Falcon," or The Memphis Belle in "Memphis Belle," all just devices to evolve the characters and move the story, yet in themselves are not really essential to the story, or especially to character resolution, just devices to keep things moving along, as opposed to HAL in "2001," a villain at the time when society was paranoid about computers, but 30 years into it, the computer age, HAL redeems himself in "2010," itself a disappointing and pretentious film in which HAL's redemption, courage and self- sacrifice are the most interesting, most noble, and by far the most moving of all the human interactions of that film, ...just saying. Several poems in this collection, especially the first, 'The Rape of Athena, ' and all of the tales are exactly that- maguffins- their ostensibly written by various characters in the two epic sagas I am currently writing, as well as the several excerpts in these volumes taken directly from those sagas:
Download or read book When My Brother Was an Aztec written by Natalie Diaz and published by Copper Canyon Press. This book was released on 2012-12-04 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I write hungry sentences," Natalie Diaz once explained in an interview, "because they want more and more lyricism and imagery to satisfy them." This debut collection is a fast-paced tour of Mojave life and family narrative: A sister fights for or against a brother on meth, and everyone from Antigone, Houdini, Huitzilopochtli, and Jesus is invoked and invited to hash it out. These darkly humorous poems illuminate far corners of the heart, revealing teeth, tails, and more than a few dreams. I watched a lion eat a man like a piece of fruit, peel tendons from fascia like pith from rind, then lick the sweet meat from its hard core of bones. The man had earned this feast and his own deliciousness by ringing a stick against the lion's cage, calling out Here, Kitty Kitty, Meow! With one swipe of a paw much like a catcher's mitt with fangs, the lion pulled the man into the cage, rattling his skeleton against the metal bars. The lion didn't want to do it— He didn't want to eat the man like a piece of fruit and he told the crowd this: I only wanted some goddamn sleep . . . Natalie Diaz was born and raised on the Fort Mojave Indian Reservation in Needles, California. After playing professional basketball for four years in Europe and Asia, Diaz returned to the states to complete her MFA at Old Dominion University. She lives in Surprise, Arizona, and is working to preserve the Mojave language.

Download or read book Good Poems written by Various and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2003-08-26 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every day people tune in to The Writer's Almanac on public radio and hear Garrison Keillor read them a poem. And here, for the first time, is an anthology of poems from the show, chosen by the narrator for their wit, their frankness, their passion, their "utter clarity in the face of everything else a person has to deal with at 7 a.m." The title Good Poems comes from common literary parlance. For writers, it's enough to refer to somebody having written a good poem. Somebody else can worry about greatness. Mary Oliver's "Wild Geese" is a good poem, and so is James Wright's "A Blessing." Regular people love those poems. People read them aloud at weddings, people send them by e-mail. Good Poems includes poems about lovers, children, failure, everyday life, death, and transcendance. It features the work of classic poets, such as Emily Dickinson, Walt Whitman, and Robert Frost, as well as the work of contemporary greats such as Howard Nemerov, Charles Bukowski, Donald Hall, Billy Collins, Robert Bly, and Sharon Olds. It's a book of poems for anybody who loves poetry whether they know it or not.
