These are a collection of new poems and some poems taken from the vault of Timothy Paul Brown. As usual they express the trials and tribulations, the glory and the pain, the grandiosity and obsession, the paranoid deluded thinking that come with having a paranoid schizophrenic disability. There is so much intensity and passion exhibited in this work of art. The author will take you to places you have never been in mind and spirit. You will feel empathy and compassion probably some sympathy. But these poems are not meant to make its listeners feel sorry for the author.

An "unleashed love song" to her late grandmother, Nickole Brown's collection brings her brassy, bawdy, tough-as-new-rope grandmother to life. With hair teased to Jesus, mile-long false eyelashes, and a white Cadillac Eldorado with atomic-red leather seats, Fanny is not your typical granny rocking in a chair.

To know that after the journey of waiting, my truth has set me free. I am Hilary Nili, and I survived.

Twenty-seven years after the murder of Nancy Willem, the State of California has not put Johnny Miles to death. He has lived in a one-person cell on San Quentin’s death row, among hundreds of others convicted of first-degree murder. Johnny Miles has had to find a measure of acceptance to continue living on death row; he has chosen to live while under the sentence of death. The learning curve is meant for the learned: a person that can separate flair from meaning...more or less an investigative and curious art enthusiast and/or enjoyer of abstract poetry.

T.S. Eliots Lyrik muss man hören wie Musik. Ob in der kraftvollen Rezitation des Autors selbst oder in den präzisen Lesungen der deutschen Übertragungen: Atemlos lauscht man den freien Rhythmen seiner Sprachmelodie, staunt über die musikalische Komposition der Texte und entdeckt, wie aus seinen mystisch-abstrakten Begriffen Bilder entstehen...
