Book excerpt: Poetry expressed in a candid, frank, and sometimes thought provoking detail, with life references to ponder upon. Poetry that expresses a family connection, friendship, love, and relationships with an afterthought inspired through The Divine Book! The Bible says there is nothing new under the sun; well the author illustrates that text with references quoted that relate to the poetry. We all can relate to this poetry, because we all have these connections either personally or through others. This is a contemporary way to read poems. Some may make you smile or cry, or look over your shoulder as though someone were talking to you. Poetry was and is a key to the soul. It is meant to either take you out of reality or wake you up to reality. This book of poems does both; with the author's poem on Aids, Jail, and Heaven. If you are a child, a mother, a father, a sibling, a friend, have a significant other, have lost a loved one, are concerned about others; all these topics relate to a poem in this book. This book talks to both men and women with quietness and boldness. It is bold with How Dare We and Enough and quiet with Anew and Sweet as Pie. This is a book to read no matter if you are 15, 50 or 99 you will receive something from it. So open it up, and take a walk into the heart; and you don't have to be a woman to look into your heart. Think of Shakespeare or Langston Hughes. We would not be alive if our heart wasn't beating to a rhythm. So tune into this woman's heart of poetry, and perhaps spark something in yours!

Book excerpt: Maya Angelou has fascinated, moved, and inspired countless readers with the first three volumes of her autobiography, one of the most remarkable personal narratives of our age. Now, in her fourth volume, The Heart of a Woman, her turbulent life breaks wide open with joy as the singer-dancer enters the razzle-dazzle of fabulous New York City. There, at the Harlem Writers Guild, her love for writing blazes anew. Her compassion and commitment lead her to respond to the fiery times by becoming the northern coordinator of Martin Luther King's history-making quest. A tempestuous, earthy woman, she promises her heart to one man only to have it stolen, virtually on her weding day, by a passionate African freedom fighter. Filled with unforgettable vignettes of famous characters, from Billie Holiday to Malcolm X, The Heart of a Woman sings with Maya Angelou's eloquent prose -- her fondest dreams, deepest disappointments, and her dramatically tender relationship with her rebellious teenage son. Vulnerable, humorous, tough, Maya speaks with an intimate awareness of the heart within all of us.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Heart of a Woman and Other Poems (1918) is a collection of poetry by Georgia Douglas Johnson. Marking Johnson’s debut as one of the leading poets of the Harlem Renaissance, The Heart of a Woman and Other Poems is an invaluable work of African American literature for scholars and poetry enthusiasts alike. Comprised of Johnson’s earliest works as a poet, the collection showcases her sense of the musicality of language while illuminating the experiences of African American women of the early twentieth century. “The heart of a woman goes forth with the dawn, / As a lone bird, soft winging, so restlessly on.” Recalling Paul Laurence Dunbar’s classic poem “Sympathy,” which immortalizes the African American experience with the line “I know why the caged bird sings,” the title poem of Johnson’s collection compares the heart to a bird. Musical and dreamlike, Johnson’s poem envisions “the heart of a woman” as it “enters some alien cage in its plight, / And tries to forget it has dreamed of the stars / While it breaks, breaks, breaks on the sheltering bars.” With each repetition of “breaks,” the reader can feel the restlessness and fear of the bird as it beats its wings against its cage, the heart as it beats against the “sheltering bars” of the ribs. In this poem, and throughout the collection, Johnson shows an efficiency with language uncommon to many poets, let alone one making her debut. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Georgia Douglas Johnson’s The Heart of a Woman and Other Poems is a classic of African American literature reimagined for modern readers.

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 womans heart. In this beautiful volume of poetry, Catherine Ghosh gives us the voices of womens spiritual expressions across cultures. The many women who contribute their hopes, fears, visions, and life narratives to this volume fulfill the poet Muriel Rukeysers 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 womens lives and imaginations. Roberta Rosenberg, Professor of English and Co-Director of Womens 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 itselfto 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: An Instant #1 New York Times Bestseller A Goop Book Club Pick "If you want your breath to catch and your heart to stop, turn to Kate Baer."--Joanna Goddard, Cup of Jo A stunning and honest debut poetry collection about the beauty and hardships of being a woman in the world today, and the many roles we play - mother, partner, and friend. “When life throws you a bag of sorrow, hold out your hands/Little by little, mountains are climbed.” So ends Kate Baer’s remarkable poem “Things My Girlfriends Teach Me.” In “Nothing Tastes as Good as Skinny Feels” she challenges her reader to consider their grandmother’s cake, the taste of the sea, the cool swill of freedom. In her poem “Deliverance” about her son’s birth she writes “What is the word for when the light leaves the body?/What is the word for when it/at last, returns?” Through poems that are as unforgettably beautiful as they are accessible, Kate Bear proves herself to truly be an exemplary voice in modern poetry. Her words make women feel seen in their own bodies, in their own marriages, and in their own lives. Her poems are those you share with your mother, your daughter, your sister, and your friends.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever experienced something so devastating in your life that you feel no one else could have possibly gone through the same thing? Are you afraid to move towards your destiny because your fears are holding you back and weighing you down like “baggage”? From Pain 2 Poetry: The Bag…The Lady…The Experience Volume 1 is a compilation of poems written by 4 women and inspired by the emotional journey of women through life changing experiences. Some of the experiences are joyful, encouraging, and empowering while others are painful, devastating, and difficult. However, it is all of these experiences collectively that help to shape the life of a woman.This collection of poems expresses the strength, character, beauty, and heart of a woman. It will take you on a journey from her lowest point where she feels as if all hope is gone, to her highest point where she feels encouraged and empowered to move forward with her life. You may not have written these poems, but you could tell some of the same stories because you too have lived it (or at least something similar to it). But now it's time to turn the pages of your past, close that book and create a new story. One of Forgiveness, Renewal, Encouragement and Empowerment! Let the journey begin…

Download or read book Collected Black Women's Poetry: Volume 1 written by Joan R. Sherman and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1988-07-28 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These four volumes collect the poetic works of eleven African-American women writing in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Volume 1 presents two collections by Mary E. Tucker Lambert-- Loew's Bridge, A Broadway Idyl, a poet's-eye view of lower Manhattan just fter the Civil War, and Poems--and Infelicia, a dramatic work by the notorious Adah Isaacs Menken. Volumes 2, 3, and 4 contain works by nine other poets, all of which were were published between 1895 and 1910, a particularly brutal era for blacks. But, surprisingly, only one of these women (Lizelia Moorer) protests the treatment of her race during this period of social upheaval and injustice. The remaining poets all conformed to the ethos of most black writers of the time, "whitewashing" their art while educating and uplifting their people. Their themes are traditional--love, nature, death, Christian idealism and morality, and family--and are for the most part couched in conventional forms and language. As interesting for the subjects that they address as for those that they ignore, these selections offer a unique smapling of poetic voices that, until now, have gone largely unheard.

Book excerpt: 'Bright Dead Things buoyed me in this dismal year. I'm thankful for this collection, for its wisdom and generosity, for its insistence on holding tight to beauty even as we face disintegration and destruction.' Celeste Ng, author of Everything I Never Told You A book of bravado and introspection, of feminist swagger and harrowing loss, Bright Dead Things considers how we build our identities out of place and human contact - tracing in intimate detail the ways the speaker's sense of self both shifts and perseveres as she moves from New York City to rural Kentucky, loses a dear parent, ages past the capriciousness of youth and falls in love. In these extraordinary poems Ada Limón's heart becomes a 'huge beating genius machine' striving to embrace and understand the fullness of the present moment. 'I am beautiful. I am full of love. I am dying,' the poet writes. Building on the legacies of forebears such as Frank O'Hara, Sharon Olds and Mark Doty, Limón's work is consistently generous, accessible, and 'effortlessly lyrical' (New York Times) - though every observed moment feels complexly thought, felt and lived.

Book excerpt: Affliction was written based on trauma, pain, and heartache in the form of poetry. I took my life’s struggles and made poems. I have been doing that my whole life. Whenever I was sad, mad, happy, or even confused, a man who became a father figure to me and a mentor would tell me to put it in a notebook. With his encouragement, that’s where it began. For the past thirty years, I battled so many demons. The title Affliction is defined as pain and suffering. I want my pages to speak my truth but also connect with my readers. I feel the hurt you’re feeling. Mentally and physically, I have been through a lot in this life. You’re not alone. I am diabetic, and at times I battle fear and so many emotions while dealing with injections. I have been a type 1 diabetic since the age of six. But through all my afflictions, I am here, I am a survivor. Without those afflictions, I wouldn’t be the mother . . . wife . . . sister . . . best friend . . . daughter . . . granddaughter . . . college graduate . . . career-driven woman that I am today. I can say, “Yes, I made it!” I made it through all that pain, and even despite being sabotaged at times throughout my career. Every day, as the sun sets and I open my eyes, I am working on being a better me. I want my readers to know that no matter the race, ethnicity, or sex, when you’re battling so much and can’t fathom the thought of existing or want to give up, I want you to know that I see you, you will get through this, and I love you.

Download or read book Echoes in the Canyons of the Heart written by Jim L. Little and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2011-10-16 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poems about love; its heights, depths and the mystery that is woman. Words are painfully inadequate to capture the magic, the mystery and thrill of love, or the agony when love, like a beautiful flower withers and dies in spite of all our efforts, prayers, hopes and schemes. Four short examples are included below. Thank you. Sample 1: Christmas Kisses Overpowering, As the first aroma of fresh biscuits and warm butter In glorious anticipation of first taste Your closeness surges over me I am consumed in mad longing for your touch By the breathless invitation to blend your softness upon me Gently pressing with escaping sighs, opening slowly to closing eyes Your lips, soft as moonbeams while my whole heart replies Feeling all of you becoming a matching puzzle-piece with me Our bodies squeezing out the spaces as shoreline matches sea In a mindless moment lost in love, in the rapture of souls combined Overwhelmed by the sense of life complete When your lips are one with mine. Sample 2: While Watching Mary Comb Her Hair In long, flowing strokes she soothes Unruly gold and amber into gentle waves Leaning forward, Her head first to one side Then the other The motions fluid and automatic Performed in perfect sequence, as since childhood In the manner of all women accustomed to long hair Thoughts preoccupied, Perhaps with which dress to wear And which earrings for best effect Unknowingly judged already perfect Her mirror, the frame For an exquisite, if transitory portrait "How about these shoes?" "Fine, I reply" With a final toss and a backward glance She's off to the closet. Sample 3: Thirst An endless bead string of mindless days Time squandered untold in useless ways A lifetime passes as years slip by Their only products, old age and sighs For vanished youth, and strength, and love And all that we had plenty of For the last of life is not like the first And mere water will not slake the thirst For more time to try yet again For truer love, for forgiven sin For loftier goals, for happiness 'Tis gone on the wind with all the rest Now looking back in terrible thirst Of all we hurt or betrayed or cursed Of all that went wrong along the way Of all we failed; ourselves the worst. Sample 4: Sometimes Sometimes, I forget, Because you're such a part of me Because our lives, as intricate tapestry So interwoven, have come to be Sometimes, the words, Are misplaced among the clutter of everyday life Thrown out by accident with the junk mail Left in the shirt pocket To be reduced to soft balls of fuzz The last remnants of emotion Sanitized away Sometimes, the wonder, Of quiet love, goes unheard Amidst the din of kids and TV Drowned, by life's cacophony Sometimes, I need, To step back, to realize that you are, A beautiful, gentle, and loving woman And that I should thank God That you're mine This is one of those times I love you, Happy Birthday.
