Book excerpt: My ten year old self would be losing her mind right now. For me, this whole process has been a dream for so long, a dream that began years ago with a diary and some ideas. Now, five years later, stuck at home with more time than I've had in years, I'm publishing my first book. My words finally get to see the world. For me, Firebrand isn't just a collection of poetry; it's the culmination of five years of dreaming, five years of feeling, five years of writing. The poems come straight from my diary, and are grouped into four sections: Love, Turmoil, Nature, and Hope, each one meant to display a different facet of poetry as it relates to my life. For me, Firebrand is a dream, a love letter, and a vent bound together by words and rhyme. I would be honored to hear what Firebrand is to you.

Download or read book The Clarion Call written by Albert Seraphin and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-05-29 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soldiers are not poets? Albert Seraphin brilliantly belies this trite assertion. He is the living proof that a soldier, while answering the clarion call, can hold a mighty pen to advocate peace and unity. Sometimes bucolic, often harshly realistic, his pungent words reflect the vibrant vision of a Nigerian citizen whose basic objective is to serve his fatherland. To pay tribute to its past and pave the way for a flourishing future. His forthright voice pleads for awareness and oneness in every situation, whether he depicts the hardships of service, not forgetting to salute the bravery of the soldiers and the bonds between them, or his bleeding pen pleads for safe driving, women rights, and an end to the internecine feuds that tear his country apart. He is on permanent poetic duty. His forceful Clarion Call holds redemptive powers, and certainly calls for attention Brigitte Poirson, Poet, teacher and promoter of African Poetry
Download or read book Ongoingness written by Sarah Manguso and published by Graywolf Press. This book was released on 2015-03-03 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “[Manguso] has written the memoir we didn’t realize we needed.” —The New Yorker In Ongoingness, Sarah Manguso continues to define the contours of the contemporary essay. In it, she confronts a meticulous diary that she has kept for twenty-five years. “I wanted to end each day with a record of everything that had ever happened,” she explains. But this simple statement belies a terror that she might forget something, that she might miss something important. Maintaining that diary, now eight hundred thousand words, had become, until recently, a kind of spiritual practice. Then Manguso became pregnant and had a child, and these two Copernican events generated an amnesia that put her into a different relationship with the need to document herself amid ongoing time. Ongoingness is a spare, meditative work that stands in stark contrast to the volubility of the diary—it is a haunting account of mortality and impermanence, of how we struggle to find clarity in the chaos of time that rushes around and over and through us. “Bold, elegant, and honest . . . Ongoingness reads variously as an addict’s testimony, a confession, a celebration, an elegy.” —The Paris Review “Manguso captures the central challenge of memory, of attentiveness to life . . . A spectacularly and unsummarizably rewarding read.” —Maria Popova, Brain Pickings

Book excerpt: FINALIST FOR THE 2020 NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD FOR POETRY FINALIST FOR THE 2021 NAACP IMAGE AWARD FOR POETRY Danez Smith is our president Homie is Danez Smith’s magnificent anthem about the saving grace of friendship. Rooted in the loss of one of Smith’s close friends, this book comes out of the search for joy and intimacy within a nation where both can seem scarce and getting scarcer. In poems of rare power and generosity, Smith acknowledges that in a country overrun by violence, xenophobia, and disparity, and in a body defined by race, queerness, and diagnosis, it can be hard to survive, even harder to remember reasons for living. But then the phone lights up, or a shout comes up to the window, and family—blood and chosen—arrives with just the right food and some redemption. Part friendship diary, part bright elegy, part war cry, Homie is the exuberant new book written for Danez and for Danez’s friends and for you and for yours.

Book excerpt: As It Was Written January 16, 2022 02:00 Hours As it was written from the time of my divorce, my life began to change and seemed to take its own course. As Twenty Clicks into the Wind was written, my mother had found and read. She called me and told me she cried. But I didn't stop. I kept writing more instead. Every day that I wrote, my mother kept note. She kept everything that she saved in a file. Till one day, it built up, and I put it in a big pile. Kept on writing, I did. Speaking about the love I had for my son. Till one day, we strayed away. And our bond had come undone. Then one day, I got into a bind, so I came up with a thought. To bring my past back up. The pages that I've written may someday be bought. So as I took a look, I made my diary my book. My life, my diary, my poems. Now it's my time to share. Every line that I've written is now complete and all there. Everything that you read is exactly what you're gettin'. While I tell you what was said, is...as it was written.

Book excerpt: "Harryette Mullen is a magician of words, phrases, and songs . . . No voice in contemporary poetry is quite as original, cosmopolitan, witty, and tragic." —Susan Stewart, citation for the Academy of American Poets Fellowship Urban tumbleweed, some people call it, discarded plastic bag we see in every city blown down the street with vagrant wind. —from Urban Tumbleweed Urban Tumbleweed is the poet Harryette Mullen's exploration of spaces where the city and the natural world collide. Written out of a daily practice of walking, Mullen's stanzas adapt the traditional Japanese tanka, a poetic form suited for recording fleeting impressions, describing environmental transitions, and contemplating the human being's place in the natural world. But, as she writes in her preface, "What is natural about being human? What to make of a city dweller taking a ‘nature walk' in a public park while listening to a podcast with ear-bud headphones?"

Download or read book Horror Vacui written by Shy Watson and published by . This book was released on 2021-01-04 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I sat in the park eating veggie lo mein, eyes watery with the rotten pleasure of being alive. It had only been minutes since I had complimented the man in the doorway at Ho Wah, telling him that the snake around his neck, which had startled me at first, was beautiful. The trees in the park looked like broccoli, and several people appeared to be in love. A couple played cards in the grass. On the walk home, I noticed a woman whose eyebrows looked tired from trying to say something. // "Shy's poems are abruptly smart, a little violent, devious and ongoing, legendary, mythic, not prosey though a little like the voice of god if god decided to speak more collectively for a while. Shy's poems to me are so so worth it. And they are crafty-also like god."-EILEEN MYLES, author of Chelsea Girls
