Maeve Holler's debut collection, HOW TO LEAVE YOUR FAMILY, inspects the idea of family, the creation and destruction of it, and what being part of one really means. The book poetically and speculatively retraces the life story of Holler's late grandmother-who grows up in Mississippi, escapes an abusive relationship, and flees to Georgia, only to leave her two children behind-and the mass of folklore that has always surrounded her. Holler's poems follow the aftermath of this story and pick up the pieces her grandmother left behind, and together, ultimately taking the shape of a multigenerational, coming-of-self narrative of witness.

Statement from the author: "When I write a poem, I don't seek to necessarily constrain that poem by any formal poetic style or technical form, I just write imagistically. I write in a nonce and a free form style, sometimes more of a narrative style. I write out the words as they sound right to me, while trying to stay true to the intent of the poem and what I am trying to convey to the reader. I prefer to allow the reader to understand what the poem has to say, not guess. Then, the reader can interpret and contemplate what it means to them, they don't have to speculate, just hopefully enjoy what the poem was trying to say.

From the Author and Beautiful Warrior: The year that Carolyn died, I thought I had already seen everything that was difficult in this journey we call life. Her suicide was like a slap into my reality. Mental illness robs one of their logic. Even in my hardest times; I had my logical mind to help me rise above very difficult obstacles. If I had only one message to convey to my readers, it is compassion. Please share in the compassion my heart wants to express for the suffering during Carolyn's illness. Let's open our minds and hearts, not with judgments when we don't understand, but with kindness and love. We can be a "Heart Mender" for each other. Beautiful Warrior Poetry & Prose is a book consisting of poetry and prose about different aspects of my life. It shows that we all have similarities and differences, but most of all it shows beauty and insight into the Warrior Spirit that the author believes is in all of us - Did you see her?... Take the time to find her... Did you see her? That beautiful warrior of light. Who has eyes that blaze like amethysts... The light from them has burned through the darkness. She can see a new horizon.

This book is a compilation of poems that I wrote throughout myhighschool years. Most of the poems I wrote as a way of getting mythoughts organized, to try and come up with an answer to a question, or as a way to express myself. The poems were also a way to get people thinking. Some of these poems were more personal, trying to use words to express a feeling. The majority of them were me just trying to explore thoughts, concepts, and imagery.I decided to get my poems published as a way to touch people'shearts. To inspire others like me, young authors, and those who struggle with mental disabilities, learning disabilities, or both. It can feel daunting to try something that you dream of doing when it feels like you are steps behind everyone else. I hope this book can be an inspiration for at least one person to feel like they can achieve their dream or calling. This is not a book about dreams, this book is the achievement of a dream.

As a child on a cold Christmas Eve in a country farmhouse in the early 1950s, R. Olin Jackson sat mesmerized before a crackling warm fire in the hearth at his family home in the mountains of northwest Georgia, as his father read - in a deep sonorous voice - Clement Clarke Moore's immortal "T'was The Night Before Christmas." Olin, his brother, David, and sisters Patricia and Mary were fascinated and awed by this wonderfully-lyrical work of art, just as children occasionally continue to be even today. The unique verse in Moore's poem introduced Olin to the inspirational world of that art and its poignant influences upon life.Even though he didn't know it at the time, poetry was to become incremental to Olin's life. Inspired by such masterpieces as Robert Frost's "Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening," the captivating Kipling's "If," John Greenleaf Whittier's "The Barefoot Boy," and the incomparable Longfellow's "The Wreck of the Hesperus," Olin eventually began making lyrical attempts of his own.On the pages which follow, a handful of those efforts are presented for the reader. In these heart-felt simple works, Olin has presented a picture of, perhaps, the forces at work as one pursues his or her daily life, and further, musings of the manner in which the Almighty demonstrates to each and every one of us what truly is important in this life so fleeting. . . .

La lumière questionne toujours en profondeur notre rapport au temps et à notre humanité. À travers ce recueil dédié à Pierre Soulages, l¿auteur plonge le lecteur dans un monde peuplé de ses artéfacts intérieurs. Il est question d¿ombres, de nature, de langages. Les poèmes éclatent et s¿interrogent les uns les autres, comme autant de petites failles qui laisseraient entrer, à chaque fois, un peu plus de lumière.

Ein 30-jähriger Bankangestellter (Zyman) nimmt sich in seiner Freizeit den Nöten seiner Mitmenschen an. Darüber kommt er mit einer jungen Frau (Jenny) in Kontakt, einer Prostituierten, die er zunächst als Hilfsmittel benötigt. In Rückblenden, die in einem eigenen sprachlichen Stil gehalten sind und in vergangene Zeiten entrücken, werden die Wurzeln der beiden Personen, vor mehreren Jahrhunderten in Europa beginnend und irgendwann nach Amerika übergesprungen, beschrieben, bis Jennys Wurzellinie in einer dramatisch eskalierenden Situation in Asien endet. An wenigen Stellen sind einige allgemein gehaltene Ausführungen eingeflochten, da es sich auch um eine beschreibende Darstellung verschiedener Erscheinungsformen der körperlichen Liebe, der Sexualität handelt, in die wir alle mehr oder weniger dicht eingehüllt sind.

Explore a sweeping, unflinching look at the profound depths of the pride of man--the wellspring of the waters of depravity. In Four, you will find, smeared across page after page of four momentous works: introspective, image-heavy poetry of the wicked desires of man's worldly striving, and his need for regeneration and shepherding; the author himself groping in the darkness of thirty-two years of unregenerate passions by way of an autobiographical prose-poem; a visionary poem about man entrenched in the depravities of a technological society; and an uncommon, prose-poem narrative of those, in ancient times, seeking to escape death. Immerse yourself in four works that speak, through visionary poetry, autobiography, and poetic narrative, of man's prideful trajectory--and discover the only hope one has against such an aimless course: Jesus Christ.

Excerpt from Introduction by Iain Sharp: "Irishness, Maoritanga, proudly held working-class values, rock 'n' roll, buses, trains, ferries, Baudelaire - you'll find them all in this book. Moods vary from poem to poem, as you would expect from a lifetime's work. Inevitably, there are moments of sadness and a deep anger at social inequities underlies some of the satire. Yet what strikes me most when I leaf through Michael's collected poems is how often the tone is celebratory. What prompts Michael to write? I think he's driven by a need to pay homage to the people (whether pop stars, pals or partners), places and times he's loved. There's an inextinguishable joyousness at the heart of Michael's work that makes reading him an upbeat and uplifting experience."
