Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome to my little book of Poems For Everyday People. Before you read its contents, I have a confession to make; I am not a poet! That’s right. I’m a writer but I’m not a poet. How can that be, you may ask? It’s simple. For one year God has awakened me at 3:15 am to give me a new poem, twenty-five in all. At first, I tried to ignore the pithy little nuggets but it soon became clear these were not just poems. They were words of love, encouragement, peace, joy and inspiration spoken by God through me. They are a gift to his children, everyday people facing life’s trials and tribulations. Thank you God for choosing me as your voice.

Download or read book Everyday Poems for Everyday People written by Esther Lazarson and published by Dorrance Publishing. This book was released on 2013-11-13 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a poem Esther Lazarson will never forget. It was written by her mother, when Esther was five. Esther’s mother was born in Lithuania, which was under Russian rule at that time. She loved Aleksandr Sergeyevich Pushkin, a great poet and political activist. She did not forgive his wife for cheating on him, embroiling him in a duel that caused his early death. Esther was born in Newcastle upon Tyne in the north of England. Here is the poem: Little Esther won a prize And it isn’t a surprise, For she’s clever and she’s good, And not often very rude. She’s delighted all the same With her newly found fame, And the prize is in her sight From the morning till the night. Rhyme became very familiar to Esther because her mother always tried to win crossword puzzles. She would give Esther the clue and ask “is it devil or revel, is it wonder or ponder?” When Esther was eleven she wrote “The Ballad of Red Riding Hood.” When she was thirty-three she wrote a love poem. On her sixty-ninth birthday, she was with Fred, her Love, on Ward’s Island, where he gardened for the Green Guerrillas. While he planted, she wrote a poem. She hasn’t stopped in twenty years. Esther came to New York in 1951 and is a veteran New Yorker.

Download or read book Magical Negro written by Morgan Parker and published by Tin House Books. This book was released on 2019-02-05 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the breakout author of There Are More Beautiful Things Than Beyoncé comes a profound and deceptively funny exploration of Black American womanhood. "Morgan Parker's latest collection is a riveting testimony to everyday blackness . . . It is wry and atmospheric, an epic work of aural pleasures and personifications that demands to be read—both as an account of a private life and as searing political protest." —TIME Magazine A Most Anticipated Book of 2019 at Vogue, O: the Oprah Magazine, NYLON, BuzzFeed, Publishers Weekly, and more. Magical Negro is an archive of black everydayness, a catalog of contemporary folk heroes, an ethnography of ancestral grief, and an inventory of figureheads, idioms, and customs. These American poems are both elegy and jive, joke and declaration, songs of congregation and self-conception. They connect themes of loneliness, displacement, grief, ancestral trauma, and objectification, while exploring and troubling tropes and stereotypes of Black Americans. Focused primarily on depictions of black womanhood alongside personal narratives, the collection tackles interior and exterior politics—of both the body and society, of both the individual and the collective experience. In Magical Negro, Parker creates a space of witness, of airing grievances, of pointing out patterns. In these poems are living documents, pleas, latent traumas, inside jokes, and unspoken anxieties situated as firmly in the past as in the present—timeless black melancholies and triumphs.
