Book Description
Tina Celona's darkly lucid, lightly comic poems are unusually explicit in their attentiveness to the primacy of poetry as a natural force, a force akin to that of the tides or their correlative lunar cycle. Describing in clear, unabstracted terms such elements of the quotidian as war, freedom, dream, "Satisfaction," and imagination, Celona invokes poems and their poet with the same degree of focused intensity as she does more obvious, more conventionally useful objects such as Singer sewing machines, shrimp, straw, driveways, corpses. The result is not so much an elevation as a leveling, a tableau of meaning in which the poet and her poems achieve a plastic, spatial, significant reality on the luxuriously detailed plateau of the natural world: "The cliffs of the / seabed the / Poem twisting like a / Tornado over the / Plains of the interior / Decoration".

Book Description
The Pebble I am a pebble dropped into the water Spreading my ripples to all those around Each little wave bringing hope to the needy Easing their worries bringing smiles not a frown Spreading and rippling to far distant boundaries Drawing in help with its tidal display And they too will drop pebbles creating more ripples Lending a hand to the needy as they go day to day The lesson from this is to help one another And dont be afraid to spread yourself around And be like the pebble causing all of those ripples As those that are dormant are the ones on the ground I hope my poems were like the pebble and caused ripples of peace and joy in your life as you turned each page. Many Thanks to those who have bought my book Tony Gorman

Book Description
WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE A dreamlike collection from the Nobel Prize-winning poet A Village Life, Louise Glück's eleventh collection of poems, begins in the topography of a village, a Mediterranean world of no definite moment or place: All the roads in the village unite at the fountain. Avenue of Liberty, Avenue of the Acacia Trees— The fountain rises at the center of the plaza; on sunny days, rainbows in the piss of the cherub. —from "tributaries" Around the fountain are concentric circles of figures, organized by age and in degrees of distance: fields, a river, and, like the fountain's opposite, a mountain. Human time superimposed on geologic time, all taken in at a glance, without any undue sensation of speed. Glück has been known as a lyrical and dramatic poet; since Ararat, she has shaped her austere intensities into book-length sequences. Here, for the first time, she speaks as "the type of describing, supervising intelligence found in novels rather than poetry," as Langdon Hammer has written of her long lines—expansive, fluent, and full—manifesting a calm omniscience. While Glück's manner is novelistic, she focuses not on action but on pauses and intervals, moments of suspension (rather than suspense), in a dreamlike present tense in which poetic speculation and reflection are possible.

Book Description
"Poetic Reality-in a complicated world," is a book of poems unlike most. The title explains the overall understanding. This book is about real life issues, written into poems. It also covers several other topics, and has several meanings. The most important meaning contained within the book is the understanding of "self importance." We are faced with many adversities in our lives, and for the most part these adversities can cloud our understanding of who we truly are. Often times we "give in" to these conditions and find ourselves in a state of depression, whether it be major depression, or minor. "Poetic Reality- in a complicated world," allows the reader to understand the several emotions, or feelings they may experience while attempting to cope with these trying times, and even though these "gray" times are present in our lives, they don't have to completely consume one's existence. Better days will follow, as long as we can be "real" to ourselves and keep in mind how important we truly are to ourselves. This book will assist the reader in understanding that we "all" experience adversity at one time or another. It is truly up to us to figure out how to deal with these times. The poems in this book are from emotional experiences author Samuel Davis Jr., has experienced in his life, as well as shared feelings from his family and friends. "Poetic Reality" is about real life, as we continue our learning from life's lessons, through trial and error.
Author: Jill Bialosky Publisher: Simon and Schuster ISBN: 1451693214 Category : Poetry Languages : en Pages : 240
Book Description
From a critically acclaimed New York Times bestselling author and poet comes “a delightfully hybrid book: part anthology, part critical study, part autobiography” (Chicago Tribune) that is organized around fifty-one remarkable poems by poets such as Robert Frost, Emily Dickinson, Wallace Stevens, and Sylvia Plath. For Jill Bialosky, certain poems stand out like signposts at pivotal moments in a life: the death of a father, adolescence, first love, leaving home, the suicide of a sister, marriage, the birth of a child, the day in New York City the Twin Towers fell. As Bialosky narrates these moments, she illuminates the ways in which particular poems offered insight, compassion, and connection, and shows how poetry can be a blueprint for living. In Poetry Will Save Your Life, Bialosky recalls when she encountered each formative poem, and how its importance and meaning evolved over time, allowing new insights and perceptions to emerge. While Bialosky’s personal stories animate each poem, they touch on many universal experiences, from the awkwardness of girlhood, to crises of faith and identity, from braving a new life in a foreign city to enduring the loss of a loved one, from becoming a parent to growing creatively as a poet and artist. Each moment and poem illustrate “not only how to read poetry, but also how to love poetry” (Christian Science Monitor). “An emotional, sometimes-wrenching account of how lines of poetry can be lifelines” (Kirkus Reviews), Poetry Will Save Your Life is an engaging and entirely original examination of a life while celebrating the enduring value of poetry, not as a purely cerebral activity, but as a means of conveying personal experience and as a source of comfort and intimacy. In doing so the book brilliantly illustrates the ways in which poetry can be an integral part of life itself and can, in fact, save your life.

Book Description
Tony Hoagland captures the recognizably American landscape of a man of his generation: sex, friendship, rock and roll, cars, high optimism, and disillusion. With what Robert Pinsky has called “the saving vulgarity of American poetry,” Hoagland’s small biographies of destruction reveal that defeat is a natural prelude to grace and loss a kind of threshold to freedom. “A remarkable book. Without any rhetorical straining, with a disarming witty directness, these poems manage to transform every subject they touch, from love to politics, reaching out from the local and the personal to place the largest issues in the context of feeling. It’s hard to think of a recent book that succeeds with equal grace in fusing the truth-telling and the lyric impulse, clarity and song, in a way that produces such consistent pleasure and surprise.”—Carl Dennis “This is wonderful poetry: exuberant, self-assured, instinct with wisdom and passion.”—Carolyn Kizer “There is a fine strong sense in these poems of real lives being lived in a real world. This is something I greatly prize. And it is all colored, sometimes brightly, by the poet’s own highly romantic vision of things, so that what we may think we already know ends up seeming rich and strange.”—Donald Justice “In Sweet Ruin, we’re banging along the Baja of our little American lives, spritzing truth from our lapels, elbowing our compadres, the Seven Deadly Sins. Maybe we’re unhappy in a less than tragic way, but our ruin requires of us a love and understanding and loyalty just as deep and sweet as any tragic hero’s. And it’s all the more poignant in a sad and funny way because the purpose of this forced spiritual march, Hoagland seems to be saying, is to leave ourselves behind. Undoubtedly, you will recognize among the body count many of your selves.”—Jack Myers

Book Description
It's refreshing to find a poet who can write family verse that isn't trite, stilted, forced or other wise out dated. The 31 poems in Dreams Of Reality are a delightful read. Like cool syrup on a hot stack of pancakes or a soft drink on a hard night.Derrick touches the poetic scene with words and images that inspire, entertain, and bring a smile to ones face all at once. There is nothing pretentious about these poems, simple as they are in their sincerity. Derrick was raised in Chipley Flordia, a small town on the out skirts of Flordia. Raised around poetry and music throught his young childhood. His lyrical style shows through in every verse as he delivers poetry that anyone from any walk of life can read and enjoy. His passion, enthusiasm and aspiration are virtues in a superficial society. He knows how to express himself in respectful ways without selling out the message for a hype, and thats a rare gift
