Book Description
"The Petals Fall One by One" chronicles the rollercoaster of love, life, heartbreak, and new beginnings. It is based on the author, Armond Gray Jr's, authentic experiences and his loved ones' experiences. The poems take the reader through the hills and valleys of life, but in the end, the poems remind us all that we're human and to take it one day at a time. Additionally, the author's motivation stemmed from quarantine and the Covid-19 pandemic. His goal was to find a way to connect with others on a mental and emotional level without being physically together. More importantly, his motivation stems from his grandparents, great-grandparents, and uncles, who have transitioned onto the next realm. Each chapter in the book has a flower's name, and each flower has a different representation. The poems within each chapter relate to the literary understanding of that specific flower. The chapter "ROSES" represents romance and passionate love. The chapter "PROTEAS" represents change and transformation. The chapter "DAFFODILS" symbolizes rebirth and new beginnings. The chapter "ORCHIDS" exemplifies themes of refinement and maturity, and lastly, the chapter "SWEET PEAS" represents appreciation and departure. The intentionality of Armond's creativity as he penned the expressive art of his poetry is meant to engulf you in the emotions that each poem evokes. An ageless and timeless masterpiece, "The Petals Fall One by One" is a special treat.
Petals of Zero, Petals of One
Author: Andrew Zawacki
Publisher: Talisman House, Publishers
ISBN:
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 102
Book Description
Poetry. Andrew Zawacki's third book explores the dynamics of one and of none: being and nothingness, binary code, virtual flowers in a bulletproof vase, she loves me she loves me not. Inflected by an ecopoetics that lets the electro in, PETALS OF ZERO PETALS OF ONE consists of three concatenated tracks, sequenced in a low-tech echo chamber. Winner of the 1913 Prize, Georgia has been praised by Cole Swensen as a vibrant disaster that keeps us feeling falling, while Peter Gizzi calls it a high velocity tour-de-force. The central series, Arrow's shadow is a fractured ars poetica and an elegiac encounter with landscape and syllable, with pixelated forms and light. Storm, lustral choreographs an epileptic last dance along the ditch waters and wanderlust of the Dasein. This volume affirms Susan Howe's claim that Zawacki combines the disciplined perception of a naturalist with the inspired perception of a poet.

For All of Us, One Today
Author: Richard Blanco
Publisher: Beacon Press
ISBN: 0807033812
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 121
Book Description
For All of Us, One Today is a fluid, poetic story anchored by Richard Blanco’s experiences as the inaugural poet in 2013, and beyond. In this brief and evocative narrative, he shares for the first time his journey as a Latino immigrant and openly gay man discovering a new, emotional understanding of what it means to be an American. He tells the story of the call from the White House committee and all the exhilaration and upheaval of the days that followed. He reveals the inspiration and challenges behind the creation of the inaugural poem, “One Today,” as well as two other poems commissioned for the occasion (“Mother Country” and “What We Know of Country”), published here for the first time ever, alongside translations of all three of those poems into his native Spanish. Finally, Blanco reflects on his life-changing role as a public voice since the inauguration, his spiritual embrace of Americans everywhere, and his vision for poetry’s new role in our nation’s consciousness. Like the inaugural poem itself, For All of Us, One Today speaks to what makes this country and its people great, marking a historic moment of hope and promise in our evolving American landscape. In 2017, U2 is featuring “One Today” during their Joshua Tree tour throughout the United States and Europe. The poem will be projected on the stage screens as people enter the stadium to reflect and discuss America and the American experience. 2014 International Latino Awards Winner: Best Biography – Spanish or Bilingual
