Download or read book Poet of Death written by Kirk C. Olson and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2021-10-26 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I wake to the saddest sunrise. My bed has become a tomb. I rise with hope thin as a cobweb, Desperate to hear your voice, Desperate to hold your hand. Is our love real? There is no floor below me. Catch me, I am falling. Kirk Olson has a talent for lyrically seeing through the darkness to the light on the other side where everyone is encouraged to live and chase their dreams. In his third collection of poetry, Olson vividly explores the theme of death: death of relationships, his mother, dreams, motivation, accidents, addiction, and much more. Olson shares unique poems that reflect on diverse subjects that include a dark knight whose soul is always free, a Mother Earth that humanity continues to deface, guitar strings that scream postulation, subconscious wanderings, and the death of a romance that was never meant to be. Poet of Death offers candid insight into one man’s life as he poetically explores the theme of dying within an open platform that inspires reflection for anyone seeking to view life in a different way.

Download or read book The Man with Eight Pairs of Legs written by Leslie Kirk Campbell and published by Sarabande Books. This book was released on 2022-04-05 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In these brilliant, thematically linked stories, men and women from the Midwest to the West Coast, from Germany to Japan—engineers, opera singers, waitresses, teenagers, and monks—reckon with their body’s relationship to grief, illness, violation, technology, and genocide. They escape their fate in unusual ways—by befriending the squatting heroin addict next door, using a child’s flute as a gun in the dark, or ordering a new pair of legs, all in a variety of rich settings. The Man with Eight Pairs of Legs is about the ways our bodies are marked by memory, often literally (burns, bruises, tracks, tattoos), and the risky decisions we make when pushed to the extreme. There’s a little O’Connor, a dash of DeLillo, and a cup of Alice Munro mixed together with a great deal of compassion. Leslie Campbell’s fiction debut is a must-read and sure winner.

Download or read book We a Spirit Seeking Harmony for a World That s Out of Sync written by Heather J. Kirk and published by Heather J. Kirk. This book was released on 2012 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In We ... a spirit seeking harmony for a world that's out of sync, she takes the reader on a faith journey modeled after that of the prophet Isaiah, yet sets it in the absolute present. Tears flow through her tellings of pain so personal we think they are our own. And perhaps they are. But "We" never leaves us alone, offering possibilities in the communion of family, friends and a God that burns us with His healing fire. Even ‘non-poetry readers’ will find the text in “We” as natural and readable as prose, beautiful, even while the poems reveal the tragedies that befall us in this world. With Ms. Kirk’s assistance, we travel from grief and pain to hope and purpose. Through the chapter headings ‘out of sync’, ‘who will go?’, ‘coal to my lips’, ‘send me’, and ‘go,’ she reminds us that no matter what we have lived through, we are never so broken that we cannot go and minister to another in need. When I was reading ‘We’, I wanted to gobble it up-to swallow the content whole, without chewing. At the same time I wanted to touch and feel every word. I really had to force myself to go slow. Your book did everything a great book should. It made me ache, it made me smile. It made me think, and wonder. Then, like a REALLY GREAT BOOK, it made me want to read it again, which I did. It also made me anxious to share it with my friends. -Cheri Oehler Terman, Social Worker - AmericaCorp VISTA - Flood Recovery

Download or read book Life Could Be Verse written by Kirk Douglas and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2014-12-02 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover the life and lines of Spartacus. . . He is Spartacus. And a whole lot more. That rugged chin. Those broad shoulders. A swag epitomized in epic films such as Spartacus and The Bad and the Beautiful. Crowned one of greatest actors of all time, Kirk Douglas, whose son Michael continues to build on his Hollywood legacy, is more than legendary. He's a husband. A father. A philanthropist. A Renaissance man. At 97 years old, Kirk Douglas has embraced many roles. But poet? Playing on his Yiddish roots, Life Could Be Verse--not worse--gives readers the best seat in the house to the intimate world of an acclaimed actor who has turned the silver screen gold. But his poems transcend pentameters--they are nostalgic celebrations of old Hollywood, of timeless lessons in life and love, reflecting an era when people had few coins in their pockets but an abundance of hope in the promise of the American dream. Through poems, prose, and photographs, Douglas candidly shares it all as he chaperones us through the stages of his life, including the untimely death of his youngest son and the stroke that left him unable to speak. Still, Douglas doesn't dwell in the sadness. Instead, he tantalizes us with his words, his perspective on life, and some never-before-seen photographs and stories of Marlene Dietrich, Lauren Bacall, Brigitte Bardot and his most cherished leading lady of all, his wife of sixty years, Anne Buydens. Life Could Be Verse is uncomplicated yet revealing, poignant yet playful. It's the life and the lines of Spartacus-an uplifting reminder that many times the story of our lives is the most entertaining script of all. (The following is an original poem Kirk wrote about his famous son Michael Douglas): Fathers and Sons "Am I a good father?'" I asked my son He took a pause, too long for me I waited and waited for him to answer And finally he said, "Ultimately." But the pause was all I heard The silence was so loud I was waiting for some kind word Something that would make me proud. How could I have been so dumb? And I never heard The answer in the pause, When he spoke not a word. I became a "good father," It took me too long to see, When I needed him More than he needed me.
