Poetry is a universal language, and Raymond Fraser used it to speak to his readers about what life is-and what it can be. Over his impressive fifty-year career, Raymond wrote eight poetry collections, using deft insight and a masterful command of language to examine the complexities of life. No topic was too minute or too grandiose to be dissected, spread out, and examined. The included poems were chosen by the poet before he passed away.

From Bob Holman's India Journals: "I pull my camera out and stand next to Ram while he shoots with the pro camera. By gumbo, it is beautifully lit! and once Jitendra starts to rock, rolling it out like Ginsberg himself, a satori moment re: the aforementioned Trilochen, which means "Third Eye" in Hindi. Jitendra recites, in Hindi, a Trilochen poem about Ginsberg, footnotes spoken in English. It starts to sink in - is this local poet, one of the hundreds Allen would meet in India, the missing link, marking the beginning of his transformation from taking drugs to following a spiritual path?"

The greatest single narration of what the mythic world of antiquity looked, thought, and felt like at its climax in a striking translation. In this tour de force, all the classic tales of Western mythology come to life.With 15 ills. "Charles Boer has reshaped the Metamorphoses in a way Olson, Zukofsky, and Pound would have approved of, making us see the poem's violence, turbulence, and angular strangeness. Every age refinds the classics in its own way: Boer sees Ovid's primitive energy and gives us a poem we can place beside Stravinsky's Rite of Spring, a harsher, more staccato, louder Ovid than were used to, but also a more vivid one."-Guy Davenport "This is the authentic Ovid, the feeling, the pulse, the mental and vocal style of a vanished people. Boer has found this hidden beat, and the eerie excitement in every line shows me what veils have lain between us and the ancients up till now . . . This is what the ancients were sitting still for, nothing less, of that I'm certain." -William Kotzwinkle

29° sunny today is a collection of poetry written in Byron Bay, Australia where the sun defines the lifestyle; Dardy reflects the illusive paradise with irony, sarcasm and melancholy under the banner of humour. Through wild parties and sad hangovers, humorous moments, boredom as well as the superficiality of beauty, one may see the sun seeping, the exact sun the author metaphorically avoids - and to which he, finally and ironically, dedicates the entire collection. Take a trip with Leonardo Dardy - a trip he most likely wouldn't join you on as he'd prefer to stay home - to explore the intriguing life of his authentic poetry.

Texere is a selection of twenty years of existential observations on love, death, life, place and impermanence.'In this impressive collection Gerald Frape's sharp intellect and passionate concern for a wide range of issues and experience, both public and private, are expressed in poems that exhibit a unique mix of intensity and playfulness. The meditative, the lyrical, the urgently searching - even a hint of rap - it's all here. In a tour de force of exploratory wordplay, notes of lament and accusation and humour accumulate and weave together. 'Texere' is a Latin word - 'to weave or construct with elaborate care.' Texere is a beautifully appropriate title for this engrossing book.' - Ross Gillett

The names of Mirabai, Akka Mahadevi and Andal, are known to many, but innumerable women poets remain relatively unknown. When we hear of them, it is invariably as plaster saints or meek followers. It is time to smell the danger in their words again, to listen to their feral sensuality, their searing questionsabout custodians of gender and faith. It is time to tune into their brazenness, their heartbreakinglonging. Not just for their sake but for ours too. In this anthology of sacred poetry that arrives after the much-loved book, Eating God, Arundhathi Subramaniam weaves together haunting voices of, by and for women across the Indian subcontinent. Here is a lineage of audacious woman-centred spirituality that traverses the poetry of ancient Buddhist nuns, Bhakti and Sufi mystics, tantrikas and Vedantins. There are women here, and men singing as women, and both raising their voices in praise of the sacred feminine. Brought to us through translation, these poems surprise with how intimately familiar their ravenous yearnings and ecstatic freedoms are. Wild Women invites us to reclaim an explosive inheritance of female power, rapture and wisdom.

The Space Between the Land & Sea is a collection of insights and reflections on life, purpose, and the beautiful adventure of chasing "something more". The poems explore the inconspicuous but profound spaces in our daily lives where we suspect questions and answers cohabit, where they become one.The highest form of love we receive is the permission to freely express our stream of consciousness, while the highest form of love we can give is to release that to the world despite our fears so it can harmonize with the universe. The author's offering here is a simple ode to recognize the often unspoken words. The words on these pages carry no advice, judgment, or expectation. They are as they are.

A Collection of Poetry by Hannah MosingWritten by a young woman living with anxiety and PTSD from traumatic situations that no one should ever have to endure, this collection includes 80 heartfelt poems that traverse the landscapes of grief from loss of loved ones and loss of self, the toll of surviving sexual assault in romantic relationships, and finding the courage to fight back against abusers with ink on a page-interspersed with the beauty and refuge that only nature and enduring love can provide.Originally composed as an unpublished collection to silently cope, years of quiet reflection have led to a decision to bravely share this deeply personal poetry with the intention of helping other survivors-and those who love them-feel seen, heard, understood, and less alone. The poems in Fragile Heart may make you cry, but they will also bring you peace and even make you smile as you ride the waves of beautiful chaos with someone who outlived the darkness and now stands on the other side, shining in the light, inviting you in.

" In the sound of Morpheus Where lover's song was stelled, Lays the harp of Orpheus, Whom Sirens lulling stilled: The Nightingale I hear As the stringèd lyre of Thrace, That dulcet rime so dear, The beauty of your face."During the wedding feast of a young man and a beautiful wood nymph, the music of a poet's lyre filled the idyllic woods. Yet, his dancing bride was stolen from his arms forever, bitten by a poisonous snake. Thus, the poet's legendary journey began, his sole mission in life to seek out a way of bringing her back, using his unique gift of poetry. It is said that his loss inspired emotive words upon his lips and unbearably sweet strains of music upon his harp. So much so that the King of the Underworld granted him his wish to bring her back to the world of the living. Yet on one condition, that he not look back upon her while still in the land of the dead.On their long journey he grew concerned, not knowing if she was still following him. And, upon the very precipice of victory he yielded to temptation and looked upon his bride, thus, losing her once again. Afterwards, he sought again to return to the underworld, yet his wish was rejected. This devastated the poet, so, to calm his troubled soul he would do what he loved the most, play sweet music upon his harp. From a state of hopelessness he dreamt of happiness, missing his lost love so much that he vowed never to marry again. And, when he died a tragic death, the songbirds sang of the greatest bard of ancient Greece, nature itself mourned the loss of his beautiful voice."To Look Upon Eurydice" is a work unique in the world of poetry today, the author a former free verse poet, forsaking everything about Vers Libre and taking his own less-traveled poetic journey into the past. Those who love romantic verses of an age long ago will find such art, the melodies of rime and meter bound within. Kenneth makes use of a variety of classical forms such as the Spenserian Stanza, the Shakespearean Sonnet, and numerous other lyrical forms. His distinctive style uses a subtle touch of the archaic to transport you to a world of dreams. These ink-stained words have been known to touch the heart and make one ponder and pause with every carefully fashioned line. This is Kenneth's first book, the best of his minor works, illustrated meticulously by his own hand.Like the mythological Orpheus setting out on his poet's journey to rescue Eurydice, so too do modern poets bring music into the world, often inspired by the loss of something or someone of great worth, the poet's Muse. Thus, this book, divided into three parts, is about such matters of the heart. For anyone who has loved before, these poems touch upon that tranquil feeling. For those who have experienced loss, one may find a few emotive lines that strike a chord within. And, for those who enjoy narrative verse, you will find poems of both modern and ancient lore within: tales such as "Cleopatra and Her Antony."

In her vertiginous second collection, Zoë Hitzig delivers an astonishing act of ventriloquy in reverse - speaking not through the voice of a singular, lyric "I," but through a consciousness that seems to have amassed itself out of the detritus of human life. The future world of Not Us Now is remembered in an even further future, where language is both the survivor and the cargo of an earthly wreckage. Crushed under the weight of collection and storage, what remains are those records of human curiosity, habit, and longing which have increasingly formed the information economies of the present.What are we doing to language and ourselves as we extract more and more material for questionable optimization? What will the appetite of a controlled, controlling public erode from the private? Across a series of elliptical, siren-like poems and sequences, Hitzig performs an urgent lyric intervention, recovering defiance from our accumulating raw-data footprints. With equal measures of method and entropy, Not Us Now presents the chorus we are hurtling toward, our own voices in the future issuing a plea for a new course."There was no need to dream it; I could feel my organic machine taking in each of Zoë Hitzig's remarkable poems through my eyes, processed with the algorithm of breath into an epiphany. Imagine a book that can spur transfiguration; it is in your hands!"--CAConrad, author of Listen to the Golden Boomerang Return"Can a variable dream? Can a person not dream? Hitzig's lyric algorithms lead us, step by step, toward deepening mysteries of identity and existence. Let's not forget that her variable 'o' also functions as the grammatical particle of poetic invocation. O Muse, O Rose, O Death--it's an ancient way to address something beyond the human."--Srikanth Reddy, author of Underworld Lit"In Zoë Hitzig's stunning collection Not Us Now, algorithms are a ubiquitous feature of modern life. Our likes, preferences, and upvotes transform our passions and personalities into products exchanged in commerce. These lyrical poems detangle and interrogate algorithmic structure and power, asking us to not 'forget that spending spent you, ' and to remember that the plottable points constructing a line are not the whole story, are not life or the rehearsal for life. In these poems algorithms mean relationships, memories, entangled variables. Algorithms require algebra, and in poems lush and voracious, Hitzig grants us a language for how these tricky systems work to tether us to one another."--Lillian-Yvonne Bertram, author of Negative MoneyPoetry.

The Eintou is an African/African American, septet, syllabic/word count poetic form created in January 2000. African and African diaspora historical, cultural and spiritual philosophies dating as early as the Bronze Age are embedded within the form. Often written using highly allusive, intertextual, and metaphorical language, employing syncopated Blues and Jazz strategies, Eintou symbolism can be multilayered and complex. Though the form can be used to express a myriad of ideas and emotional ranges, the Eintou primarily represents a form of resistance to worldwide racism, religionism, injustice and oppression. May your Eintous be powerful, engaging, and memorable. May your Mwts resist injustice and oppression everywhere. The obligation of the free is liberation the oppressed.

The goal of this book is to provide a "How to" guide with principles that can be used to improve content and stage performance. This book doesn't come with the promise of making you a great spoken word artist or the experience of a world-famous poet. Instead, it provides tools, examples of techniques and it offers tips, which if practiced correctly, can improve your confidence, focus and execution.

The poems in this collection come from hearts that have been broken and mended, that have actually stopped beating and started up again. Sometimes the most profound thing we can say about life is that it goes on. We may never regain what we have lost or achieve everything we desire, but life goes on.

In Until Air Itself Is Tinted, Cullen Whisenhunt approaches his poems with a photographer's keen eye, drawing into sharp focus everyday details that often go overlooked. In this collection, Whisenhunt creates a rich poetic texture, interwoven with cranes and herons, leafy sidewalks and cypress teeth. Indeed, these are poems we can sink our teeth into, the rich imagery set against a vivid backdrop of birdsong and Oklahoma soul.

An open mouth...open to bear witness, to show what lives inside, to share what must come forward: the poems in this collection add one more voice to the human chorus that sings as proof of life - funky, messy, soulful, struggling, exhilarating life.
