Download or read book Urban Street Poetry written by L-Boogie and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2010-03-16 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sometimes in our lives, we suffer heartaches and pains. Sometimes we suffer them alone. The characters are real, and the events are true. The burdens these characters carry are heavy. Walk with me down this lonely road and know there is a way out of a negative situation. Hope, sacrifice, and love is what these characters need. Hope, sacrifice, and love is what these characters could have if they want it. I wanted a way out of my negative lifestyle, so I decided to put my experiences on paper rather than continue to live them on the streets. I pray this anthology of street poetry pierce the suffering heart, devour the lonely soul, and vanish our bad habits. Only then have I done what God has called me to do. May God continue to bless you always. May God continue to bless your families always. Please remember this, “Only by the grace of God these heavy burdens that we carry will be lifted.” Author’s e-mail address: [email protected], Author’s Website: www.lboogie.net

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: "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.

Download or read book Urban Poems written by Margareth Stewart and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2020-04-12 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.
