Book excerpt: Foreword by poet Jules Clare Margareth Stewart is a seasoned and accomplished author. This is her tenth published book. She lives and works in Brazil and is of Italian extraction. She prides herself in being multilingual and can speak Italian, English, and Portuguese fluently. When not writing Margareth works as a teacher. She relaxes by reading, cooking, jogging, and listening to music. Margareth’s poetry is enthused with life experience and empathy. I am impressed by the poetry’s quality. I drew my own interpretations from it. Only Margareth knows the true meaning of each poem, and that is the way it should be. Margareth writes in several different styles; some traditional, some prose and some with various degrees and formats of rhyme. In fact, the style and structure of each poem is never the same. This stimulated me and challenged me anew in my own interpretation of each poem. Many of the poems made my think of areas where I could develop my own poetry. There are forty-eight pieces of poetry and prose within the book. Many subjects are covered. Margareth talks about maintaining self-worth, promoting positivity and living life to the full. She shows how man is just a pawn in the scheme of things. His threat to Nature, The Universe and humanity is examined. Many pieces reflect on love, isolation and rejection, as well as death, dreams and grief. Margareth stresses that it is time for action, rather than just talking, if we are to save the World from human interference. I was left wondering whether some of the poems were based in the real world or in a dream world. This made me think even more about their meaning. She also writes about the value of a woman’s role in Society. This is an important subject at the moment, and so it should be. My favourite poems are Perfect Dream, Magic, Erotique, I am Sorry, The Nursing, Home, Indepen-dance, 7 Sins, Plastic Age, Favor the Unfavored All in all, I love the book. I recommend it to read and it has been an honour to write an editorial for it. Regards, Jules Clare

Book excerpt: Raw Beats: Urban Poetry is a poetry book written from the perspective of a Black Poet. It contains three chapters of poems about the current political and social struggles of urban life. The joys of life are also revealed in poems about love and family. What is Urban Poetry? Why should you read it? The answers may surprise you. Urban poetry is commonly used by poets to describe the social and racial injustices of living in the urban core of large cities. Many poets before Diane have covered topics such as poverty, stress, and survival. Reading this book will make you feel something real. Raw Beats has similar expressions voiced with rhythm, angst, and unapologetic rawness. It shouts, cries, and caresses the mind and soul. In Raw Beats, urban poetry puts you in the city, in the heart, and in the life of an urban poet. Experience the social injustices of our time through literature. Discover pain, life, death, relationship woes, love, and political protest poetry in Raw Beats. Set in the real world of urban characters, the poems will jump at you, make you angry, and some will make you laugh. After reading Raw Beats: Urban Poetry, the reader will gain insight into the trials and triumphs of living in urban America. Like Nikki Giovanni, Diane was greatly motivated by the Civil Rights movement. Gil Scott-Heron’s influence is evident in Diane’s use of words and her ability to take pain and set it to rhyme. You will take away a favorite poem from Raw Beats. You will say it, sing it and hold it close to your heart.

Book excerpt: My poems may have a little of everything. Some of them were officially written in front of the computer; others, I had to beg for a piece of paper and a pen in the middle of the street to write them down - otherwise, I would just forget it. There have been times; I had to park my car anywhere I could find to write them down. Sometimes, I had to write not to cry. This is where humanity begins - where we connect. For Mead, the anthropologist, it is when men fix each other's broken femur. For me, it is when I create a line that touches your heart. And, in between one poem and another, while laughing and crying, we exist. They are quite disruptive in forms, formats, content. I tend to avoid all sorts of classifications, and make them as diverse as they are. Experimental & raw - like life. They aim to bring something new in the horizon - something that maybe reshapes our ways for better futures. I called them Urban poems because they were mostly motivated by everyday situations. I wish you enjoy the reading.

Book excerpt: "Harryette Mullen is a magician of words, phrases, and songs . . . No voice in contemporary poetry is quite as original, cosmopolitan, witty, and tragic." —Susan Stewart, citation for the Academy of American Poets Fellowship Urban tumbleweed, some people call it, discarded plastic bag we see in every city blown down the street with vagrant wind. —from Urban Tumbleweed Urban Tumbleweed is the poet Harryette Mullen's exploration of spaces where the city and the natural world collide. Written out of a daily practice of walking, Mullen's stanzas adapt the traditional Japanese tanka, a poetic form suited for recording fleeting impressions, describing environmental transitions, and contemplating the human being's place in the natural world. But, as she writes in her preface, "What is natural about being human? What to make of a city dweller taking a ‘nature walk' in a public park while listening to a podcast with ear-bud headphones?"

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this exquisite book, Alice Walker’s first new collection of poetry since 1991, are poems that reaffirm her as “one of the best American writers of today” (The Washington Post). The forces of nature and the strength of the human spirit inspire the poems in Absolute Trust in the Goodness of the Earth. Alice Walker opens us to feeling and understanding, with poems that cover a broad spectrum of emotions. With profound artistry, Walker searches for, discovers, and declares the fundamental beauty of existence, as she explores what it means to experience life fully, to learn from it, and to grow both as an individual and as part of a greater spiritual community. About Walker’s Horses Make a Landscape Look More Beautiful, America said, “In the tradition of Whitman, Walker sings, celebrates and agonizes over the ordinary vicissitudes that link and separate all of humankind,” and the same can be said about this astonishing new collection, Absolute Trust in the Goodness of the Earth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our Bearings is a collection of narrative poetry that examines and celebrates Anishinaabe life in modern Minneapolis. Crafted around the four elements—earth, air, water, and fire— the poems are a beautifully layered discourse between landscapes, stories, and the people who inhabit them. Throughout the collection, McGlennen weaves the natural elements of Minnesota with rich historical commentary and current images of urban Native life. Reverence for wildlife and foliage is pierced by the sharp man-made skylines of Minneapolis while McGlennen reckons with the heavy impact of industrial progress on the souls and everyday lives of individuals. While working with both traditional and contemporary form, McGlennen’s unique use of space and rhythm creates poetry that is both captivating and accessible. Our Bearings does not attempt to speak for a population; rather it offers vibrant stories and moments that give voice to pieces of a large and complex tapestry of experiences. Through keen observation and a deep understanding of Native life in Minneapolis, McGlennen has created a timely collection that contributes beautifully to the important conversation about contemporary urban Native life in North America and globally.

I credit my supportive and loving girlfriend, Latasha, and my dysfunctional family for providing me my inspiration for my poems, he says. Looks like I have a good, bad and ugly thing going on, but I like it because I want the readers to understand what they're reading and the meaning behind my pieces. For the good, the bad and the ugly, check out the symbolic and versatile verses that constitute the Black Cowboy's sweet and dark pieces.

Book excerpt: "We knew Koch, Guest, O'Hara, Ashbery, and Schuyler thrived on the gritty, buoyant clank of city life, but that they drew from a secret fountain there only the Brill Building really let on, until now. In seven crisply argued, essayistic chapters, Gray lets us see and feel the invisible paradise glowing within the visible form of the subway, the skyscraper, the tenement bank, the tattoo parlor, a heaven ̀growing in the street/right up through the concrete, but soft and sweet and dreaming."---Kevin Killian, Author, Little Men --Book Jacket.
