Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sinclair Poetry Prize for 2020 Jerry Johnson’s new book, Poets Should Not Write about Politics, immediately undermines its title in seemingly innocent poems about daisies, bison, and kittens that hit hard in their love for America and their rage against her injustices. Musicality and rhythm reinforce this message in these poems, as in the poem “Trains” where they ground a voice that aches for a different world, even as it honors the beauties of this one: “…we find night has taken the helm/the crescendo climbs, the stars overcome the darkness/i overcome the darkness, my grief, the darkness of my soul/ and my train moves on and on and my train moves on and on.” This is a collection of longing and hope and passion. -- Laurel S. Peterson Poet Laureate, Norwalk, CT, 2016-2019 Professor, English, Norwalk Community College We land in this world, travel, leave, and yet, as Jerry T. Johnson examines in this engrossing collection, we cannot leave history behind. Through deft storytelling, he highlights the past and future and how art needs to move beyond pleasantries. The Jim Crow signs may fade, but the danger remains current. A thought-provoking and highly enjoyable book. -- Jane Ormerod, writer and editor, great weather for MEDIA In Poets Should Not Write About Politics, Jerry T. Johnson proves in the opening poem, and many of the poems that follow, exactly why poets need to write about politics. While many of the poems focus on politics in the broader sense of the word, in a gifted and challenging way, my favorite poems, including A Song Of Remembrance For Mama and I Dare Not Divulge, marry the personal with the political, in a way that's deeply impactful and will linger with me for a long time. Yet there is joy here too, and laughter, a sharp turn of phrase surprising it out of me at unexpected times.'-- Caitlan Jans, Editor of Authors Publish Literary Magazine

Book excerpt: “Paul Tran’s debut collection of poems is indelible, this remarkable voice transforming itself as you read, eventually transforming you.” —Alexander Chee, author of How to Write an Autobiographical Novel “This powerful debut marshals narrative lyrics and stark beauty to address personal and political violence.” —New York Times Book Review A profound meditation on physical, emotional, and psychological transformation in the aftermath of imperial violence and interpersonal abuse, from a poet both “tender and unflinching” (Khadijah Queen) Visceral and astonishing, Paul Tran's debut poetry collection All the Flowers Kneeling investigates intergenerational trauma, sexual violence, and U.S. imperialism in order to radically alter our understanding of freedom, power, and control. In poems of desire, gender, bodies, legacies, and imagined futures, Tran’s poems elucidate the complex and harrowing processes of reckoning and recovery, enhanced by innovative poetic forms that mirror the nonlinear emotional and psychological experiences of trauma survivors. At once grand and intimate, commanding and deeply vulnerable, All the Flowers Kneeling revels in rediscovering and reconfiguring the self, and ultimately becomes an essential testament to the human capacity for resilience, endurance, and love.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book started one poem at a time over several years. It was something I admired to do as far as writing poetry and wanting to create a book, but I never thought of having my poetry as a book. This book is filled with my desire to write poetry as a young girl to grow through the years as an adult writing poetry from my heart. The short poems were in the beginning stages of my trying to write poetry. Through my thoughts of how I saw things in life and what I was going through, the words leaped from my mind to the pages of each one. This book is my expression of my life's ups and downs, but to be lifted by the main character I give all the credit to, God. I was asked by God to allow him to utilize my life to help others so he may receive all the glory. If you ever had the desire to write poetry or a book, I want to encourage you to do so. These poems were my therapy to express my feelings that I could not tell others. Now, you can be a part of these stories as you read, and I pray they're an encouragement to you also.

Book excerpt: Book of Life: Poems for the Journey is a book of poetry that tells a story-a human story and a divine story. Many themes are visited, including writing, creativity, nature, relationships, loving ourselves, purpose, surrender, soul, change, grief, awakening, empowerment, and more. The poems showed up as the poet stepped into a life that allowed room for them. Diffi cult decisions were made so as to keep the pen from running dry. Grief and growing pains made way for risk, newness, adventure, and spontaneity, and these things subsequently made for something to write about. The writings are fueled by the poet's fi re and are intended to light the divine spark within the reader. Often, the poems show up as a pondering and then come full circle to a resolution of sorts, one that can potentially serve us all as we journey, always, Home.

Along with quotes which reflect my self-expression as a poet from the times I grew up in and all throughout my life. A product of the thoughts that went through my mind growing up in Harlem, doing one of the most turbulent ages in America history. Poetry helped me make sense of my life and the world around me. It kept me from destroying myself because of the frustrations doing that period. It also gave my life a new direction which continues to benefit me right up until today. I hope you enjoy where it has taken me so far and you'll join me for the rest of my journey. Richard Melvin, Poet

Book excerpt: This book has woven together the voices of over seventy women of diverse ethnicities and traditions. In meditative and insightful poems, they offer us revealing glimpses of their souls engaged in meaningful dialogue with the world, others, themselves, and divinity. This spiritual poetry draws from the timeless wisdom, power, and beauty residing deeply within the hearts of all women. Emerging within archetypal themes that deliver valuable messages, the inspiring and uninhibited chorus of voices beckons us to journey along with them into the wild, mysterious, and uncharted territory of a woman’s heart. “In this beautiful volume of poetry, Catherine Ghosh gives us the voices of women’s spiritual expressions across cultures. The many women who contribute their hopes, fears, visions, and life narratives to this volume fulfill the poet Muriel Rukeyser’s injunction: “Breathe in experience, breathe out poetry.” Every woman (and man) will find poetry that speaks to the heart and the soul. I highly recommend this volume to anyone who values the poetry of women’s lives and imaginations.” — Roberta Rosenberg, Professor of English and Co-Director of Women’s and Gender Studies, Christopher Newport University, Virginia “This beautiful book of verses speaks of the longings of the heart, the habits of the mind, the prayers often unspoken; of silent cries in the dark to God, to the universe, to life itself—to anyone who may listen and be moved. It is an ode to the muzzled yearnings of half of humanity.” — Rita D. Sherma, PhD, Swami Vivekananda Visiting Professor, University of Southern California

Book excerpt: Poets must read and study, but also they must learn to tilt and whisper, shout, or dance, each in his or her own way, or we might just as well copy the old books. But, no, that would never do, for always the new self swimming around in the old world feels itself uniquely verbal. And that is just the point: how the world, moist and bountiful, calls to each of us to make a new and serious response. That's the big question, the one the world throws at you every morning. 'Here you are, alive. Would you like to make a comment?' This book is my comment.--from the Foreword.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maya Angelou, one of the best-loved authors of our time shares the wisdom of a remarkable life in this bestselling spiritual classic. This is Maya Angelou talking from the heart, down to earth and real, but also inspiring. This is a book to be treasured, a book about being in all ways a woman, about living well, about the power of the word, and about the power of spirituality to move and shape your life. Passionate, lively, and lyrical, Maya Angelou’s latest unforgettable work offers a gem of truth on every page. Maya Angelou speaks out . . . On Faith: “I'm taken aback when people walk up to me and tell me they are Christians. My first response is the question 'Already?' It seems to me a lifelong endeavor to try to live the life of a Christian. It is in the search itself that one finds ecstasy.” On Racism: “It is time for parents to teach young people early on that in diversity there is beauty and there is strength. We all should know that diversity makes for a rich tapestry, and we must understand that all the threads of the tapestry are equal in value no matter their color.” On Taking Time for Ourselves: “Each person deserves a day away in which no problems are confronted, no solutions searched for. Each of us needs to withdraw from the cares which will not withdraw from us. A day away acts as a spring tonic. It can dispel rancor, transform indecision, and renew the spirit.” On Death and Grieving: “When I sense myself filling with rage at the absence of a beloved, I try as soon as possible to remember that my concerns should be focused on what I can learn from my departed love. What legacy was left which can help me in the art of living a good life?” On Style: “Style is as unique and nontransferable and perfectly personal as a fingerprint. It is wise to take the time to develop one's own way of being, increasing those things one does well and eliminating the elements in one's character which can hinder and diminish the good personality.”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner, Agnes Lynch Starrett Poetry Prize Finalist, 2021 Eric Hoffer Award Silver Medal, 2020 Florida Book Award In Earnest, Earnest?, the speaker, Eleanor, writes postcards to her on-again-off-again lover, Earnest. The fact that her lover’s name is Earnest and that their relationship is fraught, raises questions of sincerity and irony, and whether both can be present at the same time. While Earnest can be read literally as Eleanor’s lover, he is best understood as another side of the poet’s self. The ambiguity at play in Earnest, Earnest? is embodied in the form of the “Earnest Postcards” that structure the book—these postcards are experimental in their use of images and formal in their dialogue with the sonnet. Thus, Earnest, Earnest? is a question of tone, address, and form.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At least once in our lives a need to share arises and comes forth like a bubbling spring out of a deep well. The water is fresh and crisp like a winter morning just before the snow. In this book of poetry you will discover one man's journey through life--sometimes up and sometimes down, but always moving forward with help from the strong hand of the Lord, who is always there in good days and bad. Yes, it is a long, hard journey, but when you arrive toward the journey's end, your life has become one of a thousand emotions and ONE GREAT TRUTH, because you have made it and the faithfulness of the Lord has brought you through. And now you can give back what has been given to you! May you, also, receive from the reading of this poetry and arrive at a place of truth in the Lord, a plateau where He will sustain you and give you a new focus on life. About the Author Stanley Lester Decker was born in New Mexico in 1938. After serving in the United States Air Force and graduating from New Mexico State University, he had a successful career in real estate and investments. He began his poetic career simply to share the journey he experienced in his own life. This is his first book. He wishes to share this body of work as an encouragement, and hopefully as an insight, into the real truth about life. He is now retired and lives in Tucson, Arizona.
