A short-but-compelling collection of experimental poems on various themes.

In 1990 I had my first of three mental (schizoaffective) breakdowns (the other in 1991 and 1993) and signed myself into a mental hospital for what would turn out to be a long stay. Very confused and basically in the dark about everything that was going on (having been taken there by my brother and parents), I needed some footing to the Reality that was apparent to all those around me. My best friend at the time, Adam, brought to the hospital for me a medium sized (standard poetry issue) un...

"These tender, sly, plainspoken poems are a profound (and sexy) hymn to a long marriage." —Chase Twichell, author of Things As It IsWriting love poems fifty years into a marriage is no easy task: "If he exaggerates his love, she'll know . . . And if his desire for her is undiminished, / who would believe?" But in A Marriage Book, James P. Lenfestey meets his own challenge with aplomb. These poems drop readers into the rich, textured world of one c...

"An unabashed celebration of complexity in queerness and gender, an arresting snapshot of survival and a triumphant reclamation of language." — Shelf Awareness (starred review)"Tongues make mistakes / and mistakes / make languages." And Benjamin Garcia makes a stunning debut with Thrown in the Throat. In a sex-positive incantation that retextures what it is to write a queer life amidst troubled times, Garcia writes boldly of citizenship, family, an...

Thomas Lux selected this debut collection as winner of BOA’s A. Poulin, Jr., Poetry Prize. In his foreword he writes, "I was immediately struck by the boldness of imagination, the strange cadences, and wild music of these poems. We should be glad that young poets like Keetje Kuipers are making their voices heard not by tearing up the old language but by making the old language new."Keetje Kuipers, a native of the Northwest, earned her BA at Swarthmore College and M...

Everything new that is created is something that has emerged out from the deepest and densest ocean of pre-contemplated thoughts in the heart.The heart abstracts its new creation from the ocean and asks the aid of the brain.The brain interprets the hearty language and translates it into human coherent language, using the archived words in its files and in a way gives rise to something new and something innovative.People initially say that a writer has a creative mind, ...

The poems in Surf Music are all pretty short, and some of them are funny. Their subjects include being at the beach, believing people, believing things, losing people, encounters with plants & animals large and small, rain, machines, rocks, and sunlight.

This poetry collection mainly explores human emotions. In an average day we all experience so many emotions and this is normal because we are imperfect and mortal humans. Though we may be placed in the same situation as another person we will always react in different ways because we are all different and unique. This collection of poems is what I have written from the age of 14 until now, exploring my own emotions and writing them down along the way.

This is a book of poetry devoted to nature and the animals. They are Gaia's beings. The poetry is at times whimsical, and at times thoughtful. It is a well written book of poetry. Anyone interested in nature and animals should like it. Kimberly Westrope says about the book, "I read these during my lunch time. What a pleasure it was to read them. I'm not overly fond of nature poems, but there a many little gems here. I have about 10 favorites, but I think Field Mouse is my number one pick. ...

Creative expression is an intense means of learning - all of human experience can and should be our subject matter. I would ask you to consider reading The 2012 Um-Yangian. This current collection, a condensation of a lifetime of off and on again writing, is (just like the title says) not quite publishable. For although there are little gems scattered throughout, putting this work into the public realm is akin to going to the beach after a long winter of becoming pale and gaining a lot of ...
