Book excerpt: Reflections of a Damaged Child is more than a book of poems. It's an intimate collection of emotionally authentic poetry, profoundly succinct memoirs, and other provocative writings that creatively reflect the author's deepest feelings and thoughts regarding some of the most impactful moments of his life. Reflections of a Damaged Child is exactly what it says it is; written reflections of a damaged child that experienced complex trauma throughout his entire childhood and responded to that trauma in the worst way imaginable, only to redeem himself well into his adulthood and impact positive change in the community after spending over 35 years of his life in prison. Reflections of a Damaged Child is an artistically crafted account of how a severely abused kid faced his demons as an adult and triumphed over his tragedy while discovering both his passion and purpose in life during the process. For me, there is no greater feeling in the world than when I lose myself in my imagination, only to find myself in its creation! Ice Mike

Book excerpt: A celebration of the extraordinary life of Ezra Jack Keats, creator of The Snowy Day. The story of The Snowy Day begins more than one hundred years ago, when Ezra Jack Keats was born in Brooklyn, N.Y. The family were struggling Polish immigrants, and despite Keats’s obvious talent, his father worried that Ezra’s dream of being an artist was an unrealistic one. But Ezra was determined. By high school he was winning prizes and scholarships. Later, jobs followed with the WPA and Marvel comics. But it was many years before Keats’s greatest dream was realized and he had the opportunity to write and illustrate his own book. For more than two decades, Ezra had kept pinned to his wall a series of photographs of an adorable African American child. In Keats’s hands, the boy morphed into Peter, a boy in a red snowsuit, out enjoying the pristine snow; the book became The Snowy Day, winner of the Caldecott Medal, the first mainstream book to feature an African American child. It was also the first of many books featuring Peter and the children of his — and Keats’s — neighborhood. Andrea Davis Pinkney’s lyrical narrative tells the inspiring story of a boy who pursued a dream, and who, in turn, inspired generations of other dreamers.

Book excerpt: Ice cream, ice cream, who wants ice cream? Hundreds of poets not only said a resounding "yes," but wrote about it. And from those hundreds, I accepted the 125 poems you will find here from 27 different states plus Australia, France, Iraq, Spain, and Tunisia. The poems are as various as the flavors of ice cream: long poems, short poems, and in addition to traditional free-verse narratives and lyrics: experimental poems, poems in forms such as sestinas, sapphics, sonnets, prose poems. When I accepted the job of editing, I wondered if I'd be bored by so many poems about ice cream; I wondered whether there would be hundreds of poems about The Good Humor Man or Dairy Queen. But I needn't have worried, I was never bored. The Good Humor Man and Dairy Queen poems were there, of course, but I was amazed by the wide variety of subjects: light humorous poems, sweet poems, lusty poems, dark poems, poems about childhood memories, a poem about Obama's first date, and a poem with Paul Newman in it. I am pleased with this final collection of ice cream poems. I think readers will enjoy them as much as I enjoyed reading and selecting them. --Patricia Fargnoli, Editor, author of Hallowed (Tupelo Press, 2017)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Reflections in Poetry" Reflections in Poetry was first thought about when I was working down in the Gulf of Mexico. Twelve hours a day five days a week I use to write during my lunch break or back at the motel. I put together some material in a legal pad and left everything in the Motel under the mattress. When I relocated back to Sumter, SC it was very hard getting started, with so many things on my mind. I asked God to give me the peace of mind that I needed to put my thoughts on paper. I stayed up one night until four in the morning writing. I needed that to get a lot of stuff off my chest and off my mind. I really enjoyed putting Reflections in Poetry together, it reflects on those that have passed on good people whose memories I'll always treasure and will never forget. Friends that I met over the years our paths crossed and we connected platonically. They inspired me in their own unique way to write about them in poetry. Reflections in Poetry are collections of treasured thoughts from my heart to yours. Enjoy Glenndell Chatmon

Book excerpt: With poetic words we try to comprehend the everyday mysticism we don't understand. To Happiness, Love, Joy and their sister Sorrow, and this sacred, energetic, and vibrant dance called life! ~Lisa Herman-Gagnon~ When I was young, life appeared simple and good. I was sure I had a good grasp of things and that I understood what "It" was all about. But that is part of the sweet innocence of youth. Now that I am older, I realize that life, in it's infinite splendor and wisdom, is full of twists and turns and surprises. I am no longer so concerned about keeping hold of that certainty I held so tightly to as a child. For I see life as an exciting whirlwind, with lessons to learn and places to see. Some fight against it, and others do not. Some just walk the "middle ground". I choose to be just one of many leaves blowing in her winds, asking my questions along the way and learning what it is to truly live. I have already found some answers in the many truths to be found in dreams, realities, the spirit, and in mans nature. And I have also come to realize that for some questions, their are just no answers.

Book excerpt: Little Billy asked his grandmother how long she planned to stay 39, because on each birthday when asked how old she was, she would reply, “I’m still 39 and holding.” To which Billy replied, “Granny do you think you can stay 39 forever?” Far too many of us take growing old and old age too seriously. We need to lighten up...go with the flow. A sage is reportedly to have said, “You grow up the day you can laugh at yourself.” This volume of poems presents a humorous, and at times a serious, view of growing older. It is a follow-up to the author’s book, Have You Hugged Your Parents Lately? A book in which a deep and serious look is taken at aging, it’s problems and challenges. There is a second part in this book in which the author takes a nostalgic trip back into his childhood in rural Georgia, which he refers to as, “We didn’t know the depression was over until the middle fifties.” This poetic trip and the poems on aging will delight and encourage the hearts of all who read this book. It is an ideal gift for young and old.

Book excerpt: Kids: Africa in Childhood Poetry powerfully conveys the wishful thinking, imaginations, experiences and critical reflections of children as they grow up. The volume grapples with a wide range of topics, sensations, encounters, emotions, imaginations and vistas commonplace in the psyche of many children across different geographical and cultural spaces. While the audacity of Maweres poetry finds its basis in the poets profound ability to uncover a multi-layered journey of childhood to adulthood, its merit lies in the character building, psychological, axiological and pedagogical lessons it imparts in todays youths: it teaches the youths the values of moral rectitude, critical observation and thinking, and careful questioning and reflection. This is a collection for all parents, teachers and the youths of between ages 5-18 who cherish a world ruled by peace and unconditional love of all by all.
