Book Description
My love poems encapsulate stories, accumulations of knowledge, people, and many lovers from the past, including those I have been locked in via letters across the waters. And I gather my love of foreign lands where the cultural magic still resounds in me as do the amazing people I have met. I have woven many experiences together and write with great affection, nostalgia and warmth of all the men whom loved me and I, them. I write also of great friendships forged across the world that still inspire me even though they are physically not around anymore. Some of them still share my affection but as is with my strange nomadic tread it was always necessary to move forward, but my gratitude remains with them. My inspiration and injection of muse and excitement. I like to believe that we do have reason for everything in life and this truly gives immense reassurance when love inexplicably becomes something that cannot be understood, and where heartache comes into being. Also I write of my practice with the SGI and how my spiritual development has enables me to come to terms with several aspects of my life. These experiences I feel especially when I chant for long periods and understand the beauty of Nichiren Buddhism, how philosophy and study and dialogue give sustenance to a deeper understanding of life in general.. More and more my friends have become like spiritual family and have gained deep respect and love from me and influenced how I perceive the world and moreso how I write about it. I have included one or two verses that struggle with a darker side of my life that I suppose inevitably happens to those of us whom intend to grasp what it truly means to suffer and struggle. This realization makes it easier for us to understand the suffering of others My second book delves a little deeper into this subject with as ever an optimistic outcome. I have always seen my self as an optimist but it can be difficult when obstacles arise from seemingly nowhere, and must be surmounted. This of course is where my life stands now. I am a Buddhist, I am a woman, I am a writer. Inspirational, filled with passion and love,pyschic awareness, spiritual. nspirational love poems that incorporate the magic of dreams, intrigue, psychic awareness and spirituality.

Lust
Author: John Miller
Publisher: Chronicle Books (CA)
ISBN: 9780811806916
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 144
Book Description
All the yearning, the passion, the wantonness of lust and its realization is explored in this collection of lascivious love stories, passionate poems, and playful fables. There is taboo lust, as in Vladimir Nabokov's ground-breaking novel Lolita; blood-lust, as Anne Rice chronicled so forcefully in her novel The Vampire Lestat; and the sweetly romantic lust of Sappho's poetry. But then there is Dante Alighieri, reminding us in his Inferno that lustful sinners will be punished in Hell, and Milan Kundera to intellectualize lust into three principles, and Italo Calvino to discuss the humorous side of lust among the reptiles.

The Life
Author: Carrie Fountain
Publisher: Penguin

Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 114
Book Description
“An exquisite book of poetry with a lens on motherhood that’s existential, funny and tender.” —Elle Acclaimed poet Carrie Fountain deepens her exploration of the domestic in a new collection of playful and wise poems The poems in Carrie Fountain's third collection, The Life, exist somewhere, as Rilke says, between “our daily life” and “the great work”—an interstitial space where sidelong glances live alongside shouts to heaven. In elegant, colloquial language, Fountain observes her children dressing themselves in fledgling layers of personhood, creating their own private worlds and personalities, and makes room for genuine marvels in the midst of routine. Attuned to the delicate, fleeting moments that together comprise a life, these poems offer a guide by which to navigate the signs and symbols, and to pilot if not the perfect life, the only life, the life we are given.

Pages : 85

Bringing the Shovel Down maps the long and arduous process of being inculcated with the mythologies of state and power, the ramifications of that inculcation (largely, the loss of our humanity in the service of maintaining those mythologies), and finally, what it might mean, what it might provide us, if we were to transform those myths. The book, finally, has one underlying question: How might we better love one another?

Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 114
Book Description
"Nezhukumatathil’s poems contain elegant twists of a very sharp knife. She writes about the natural world and how we live in it, filling each poem, each page with a true sense of wonder." —Roxane Gay “Cultural strands are woven into the DNA of her strange, lush... poems. Aphorisms...from another dimension.” —The New York Times “With unparalleled ease, she’s able to weave each intriguing detail into a nuanced, thought-provoking poem that also reads like a startling modern-day fable.” —The Poetry Foundation “How wonderful to watch a writer who was already among the best young poets get even better!” —Terrance Hayes With inquisitive flair, Aimee Nezhukumatathil creates a thorough registry of the earth’s wonderful and terrible magic. In her fourth collection of poetry, she studies forms of love as diverse and abundant as the ocean itself. She brings to life a father penguin, a C-section scar, and the Niagara Falls with a powerful force of reverence for life and living things. With an encyclopedic range of subjects and unmatched sincerity, Oceanic speaks to each reader as a cooperative part of the earth, an extraordinary neighborhood to which we all belong. From “Starfish and Coffee”: And that’s how you feel after tumbling like sea stars on the ocean floor over each other. A night where it doesn’t matter which are arms or which are legs or what radiates and how— only your centers stuck together. Aimee Nezhukumatathil is the author of four collections of poetry. Recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts fellowship and the prestigious Eric Hoffer Grand Prize, Nezhukumatathil teaches creative writing and environmental literature in the MFA program at the University of Mississippi.
