Book Description
MAMA SAPPHO: Poems de Sabor a Caló, is a collection of poetry written during the 1970s by a X(x)icanX(x) lesbiana Osa-T. Osa Hidalgo de la Riva-, between the ages of her teen years and early twenties. Originally, the manuscript was entitled WITH POEMS as GUNS, and was performed on tour with her lesbiana poet sister Liz at some of the first battered women's shelters, women's cafés and bookstores throughout Aztlán, the U.S. Southwest. After their tour, both sisters completed their Bachelor of Arts Degrees in Psychology, and Dr. Osa Bear went on to complete her first (of three) Master of Arts Degree with this collection as her written creative master's thesis in May 1980. Published in book form 38 years later, MAMA SAPPHO includes also the author's Poetic Afterword, an essay that reads as fierce manifesto. A truly timeless-or time-expansive-collection, MAMA SAPPHO could have read as contemporary poetry in any of the four decades it has traversed since taking its thesis form, and will surely read as such in the four decades to come.
When You Thought I Wasn't Looking

Pages : 60
Book Description
Mary Rita Schilke Korzan wrote a poem to her mother 24 years ago, thanking her for all she had done as a mother, friend, and role model. She gave the poem to her mother and, a few months later, offered it as a tribute when Mary and her husband were married. So many wedding guests asked for a copy that Mary included one in her thank-you notes.Then began the strange and heartwarming journey of Mary's poem to her mom. Friends passed it on to those they knew. A minister in her hometown couldn't recall who gave it to him, but he included the by-then "anonymously written" poem in his book about loving others. Another author picked it up from there for her compilation of heartfelt works, and Mary finally noticed her poem, now listed as "Author Unknown," in A Fourth Course of Chicken Soup for the Soul, which her husband and children gave her as a Mother's Day gift.With this new book, readers have the chance to experience When You Thought I Wasn't Looking in its entirety and from its creator. This is the special kind of book that reminds us that sometimes the little things we do "just because" mean more to someone than we can ever know. Those little things teach love, compassion, and understanding. In other words, they're priceless. This sweet gift book brings that lesson home to the heart.
Mama's Promises

Pages : 68
Book Description
“Waniek is a poet of intelligence, passion, and gentleness with a fine sense of the comic and unfailing judgment about what constitutes a poetic line. She creates a rich mixture of impressions about the speaker of these poems as a woman who is at the same time in her mid-twenties and her mid-fifties, who is black and white and red, who is both trapped by and freed by motherhood.” —Miller Williams Marilyn Nelson Waniek writes with great wisdom and compassion. Grounded but never earthbound, her poems speak honestly and eloquently about giving birth, nurturing life, and facing death; they inhabit the present, fully aware of their responsibilities to the past and the future. Waniek leaves us with the affecting strength and assurance of lasting things, as in the poem “Mama’s Promise.” But the dangerous highway curves through blue evenings when I hold his yielding hand and snip his minuscule nails with my vicious-looking scissors. I carry him around like an egg in a spoon, and I remember a porcelain fawn, a best friend’s trust, my broken faith in myself. It’s not my grace that keeps me erect as the sidewalk clatters downhill under my rollerskate wheels. Then I think of Mama, her bountiful breasts. When I was a child, I really swear, Mama’s kisses could heal. I remember her promise, and whisper it over my sweet son’s sleep: When you float to the bottom, child, like a mote down a sunbeam, you’ll see me from a trillion miles away: my eyes looking upon you, my arms outstretched for you like night. From “Mama’s Promise” published in Mama’s Promises by Marilyn Nelson. Copyright © 1985 by Marilyn Nelson Waniek. All rights reserved.

Book Description
Save me, oh, save me, I'm all out of dreams, Walking through Heaven's zone on 25th Street. Cars are the fashion parading under neon lights; Faces through tinted glass tell their stories of life. You stare, you frown and swear, and I smile back at you. Billions of stars will fall before the night is through. South of Main and Hollywood is 25th Street. Liquid gold in glasses is always in our reach; You can soar for days and days because the magic is good. Feel the fire in our veins, we're the joke of the neighborhood. I search to find a place to bury my head Deep within my thoughts on the night edge. Lovers sending messages through crystal eyes, Passing the sights unknown we want to ask. Give me another shot of that whiskey, man, Fill up my dreamer's glass with my only friend. South of Main and Hollywood is 25th Street. Liquid gold in glasses is always in our reach. You can soar for days because the magic is good. Feel the fire in our veins; we're the joke of the neighborhood.
