Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The hemispheric pull between Europe and Africa and the restlessness that results from inhabiting both worlds is reflected in A Lioness at my Heels. Robin Winckel-Mellish reconciles the muted tones of her Europe with the riotous colour of Africa. The immediacy, vividness and dustiness of the harsh African sun is carefully offset by the softer quality of the Netherlands. All poems are mediated and considered in the light of a spiritual home. Robin Winckel-Mellish lives in the Netherlands and runs a poetry critique group in Amsterdam. Her work has been published in many international literary journals. Her first collection, A Lioness at my Heels, explores living in Europe and being South African.

Characters are shaped by the particular challenges of their context - a young pregnant Mosarwa girl is forced to make a terrible decision and the barren wife of a wealthy Gaborone man is made to see an old woman with supposed powers of fertility. Atmospheric and evocative, these stories will entertain and transport you to the hot, dusty heart of Botswana.

Book excerpt: "I was smitten, bitten by a love bug or something I didn't even care that I'd just been hit. I was in deep smit." Laura Crapper, a seventeen-year-old combat-boot-wearing poet with spiked red hair, renames herself Sister Slam and hits the road with her best friend, Twig. On the way into the slam poetry world of New York City, they hit a pig, get pulled over by the cops, fight with a poetry contest's judge, lose the contest, get into two more fender benders, fight with each other, and finally land on the front page of a newspaper in New York City for their amazing impromptu performance at the famous Tavern on the Green. The girls and their fresh style of poetry take the city by storm, but when Laura's father back in Pennsylvannia has a heart attack she must face her fears about home and the still-raw loss of her mother. An inspiring romp of a coming-of-age story, written entirely in Laura's in-your-face slam poetry style, that proves you don't have to give up your home in order to live your dream.
Download or read book Poems from the Mud Room written by Howard Camner and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-04-26 with total page 744 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Tantalizingly irreverent; Camner’s work smacks of the deliciously absurd with a point. He is a brilliantly bizarre poet and master of the surreal.” - Lenny DellaRocca The Poetry Museum “Camner defies the traditional aesthetic concepts of poetry. He targets a world of ideas in a rather active way as opposed to the more passive, meditative aspects found in most poetry. There is a linguistic simplicity to his poems, an almost transparent quality, over a rather complex web of experience and thought. His poetry is life... ‘All you have to do is look’ – The obvious and not so obvious.” - Marta Braunstein, editor Cambio Literary Journal “Camner writes in terse, stark, real verse that would make Hemingway raise his scotch glass in honor.” - New Times Newspaper “Camner’s poetic style is reminiscent of Raymond Chandler’s detective writing; descriptive and terse with interesting plot lines. His characters are certainly the product of a vivid imagination.” - The Comstock Review “Camner’s ‘humour noir’ is apparent in his poetics, his spirited voice and unabashed freedom – so alive, even in his earliest poems.” - Peter Hargitai “A literary detour, and well worth the trip.” - Village Voice

Download or read book Alzheimer Poems written by Laurel Brodsley and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2006-08 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Laurel Brodsley was a lecturer in English literature at a major university. One day at a familiar intersection, she briefly lost her sense of direction. As she immediately suspected, this was the first symptom of early-onset Alzheimer's Disease, which she tried to delay by every strategy she could find. Five years later, after finally having to give up work, she started to write poetry about her experience. Over the following six years these poems, often bleak but often celebrating life, show her slow decline towards dementia. She has now lost the ability to touch-type, which makes more poetry problematic. Alzheimer Poems is a selection of her poems over six years, followed by an earlier essay on her experience fighting Alzheimer's Disease, and her prospects. The poems use symbolism, observations, and her personal experiences to bring to life the unique perspective of what is happening in her brain. She has a distinct interest in the esthetics of art, music, and nature that is evident throughout the collection. The poems act as a window into the plight of a person struggling with this degenerative and fatal disease.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume, fifteen scholars and poets, from Austria, Britain, Czechia, France, Germany, Ireland, Lithuania, and Russia, explore the topic of things and objects in poetry written in a number of different languages and in different eras. The book begins with ancient poetry, then moves on to demonstrate the significance of objects in the Chinese poetic tradition. From there, the focus shifts to things and objects in the poetry of the twentieth and the twenty-first century, examining the work of Czech, Polish, and Russian poets alongside other key figures such as Rilke, Francis Ponge, William Carlos Williams, and Paul Muldoon. Along the way, the reader gets an introduction to key terms and phrases that have been associated with things in the course of poetic history, such as ekphrasis, objective lyricism, and hyperobjects.
