It’s a dark and stormy night, and “The Raven”, read by award-winning narrator Mike Vendetti, transports us to a lonely chamber illuminated by firelight. The inhabitant who becomes the narrator hears a gentle tapping at the chamber door. The tapping is a raven who speaks one word, “Nevermore."

Everyday, the World Would End is a modern poetry collection that examines the darker parts of depression, the everyday struggles that come with anxiety, and how it really feels to deal with self-hatred on a regular basis. This collection is deeply personal to the author, but she hopes that by revealing her worst moments, someone else will find a way through theirs, that someone else will know that they are not alone in their darkest emotions, and that someone will realize life happens wherever you are, and there is always a way to survive it.

Gibran’s other two books, The Forerunner and The Madman, are of deep assistance in the same manner.

Footsteps in the Poison Ivy Patch is mostly a collection of political and satirical commentary, with a few gallant attempts at genteel observations. The highlight, though, is a picturesque critique on the United States, taking, past, present, and current issues and exposing the deceit and follies that have repeated themselves, starting from the founding of the United States to the current day.

Walt Whitman’s work influenced many later poetic voices, and no work more so than this epic American poem, 'Leaves of Grass', which he spent his entire life writing and constantly revising until his death. The work heralded a new dynamic relationship in poetry, with its candid and sensual interpretation of his observations and thoughts on the human spirit and all aspects of existence at a time when poetic tradition employed symbolism or allegory.

In her accomplished second collection of poems, Katrina Vandenberg writes from the intersection of power and forgiveness. With poems named for letters of the Phoenician alphabet, and employing such innovative forms as the ancient ghazal, Vandenberg deciphers the seemingly indecipherable in this extraordinary becoming of self through language.

The world is ending; two brothers and a girl need to locate mystical items to stop the apocalypse. --- The hourglass is on the brink of shattering, our time in existence, snuffed out like breath to a candle. Yet most of us remain in blissful ignorance. A mask that had since been torn from my face, worlds unseen until I met the Elderwood brothers. They were strangers-but familiar; they emanated danger, yet I had never felt safer. “666 items to locate, 66 rituals to preform and 6 seals to break in 6 months, or time is no longer. We cannot fail humanity Serena.” his voice like steel. If ...

The Home of Light expresses hope, remembrance, and love in the fast-changing world. While the world is unstoppable, we can save precious memories, bridging the crucial gaps between beginnings and endings. The poems in this book highlight the transformative forces of light and truth. They reflect the innate desire for peace and stability in “the land where lilies don’t die.” We all fight, in our ways, to preserve the value of transient moments despite their inevitable disappearance. This collection firmly asserts that unexpressed pain does not diminish its potency, nor does speaking ...

Das Dasein ästhetisch rechtfertigen – und sich dabei zuschauen. Oder sich eingestehen, dass man eigentlich gar nicht versteht, was in der Welt geschieht. Oder das Ganze herumdrehen: Nicht-Verstehen als ethische Grundlage eines Lebens betrachten. Wie wäre es mit einer Poesie der Gleichgültigkeit? Einer Haltung, die dennoch nichts unberührt lässt – wäre dies ein erster Schritt? Und wohin? Willi van Hengel hat einen Reigen seiner bisher erschienenen Texte komponiert.

The inspiration for this book was born years ago, when I encountered a man in his 70s. He opened my eyes to how he had been able to capture a seemingly hidden power to combat evils in the world and his body, such as illness and fear. I wondered how that could be possible. I thought hard and broke sweat over how the mind could help a person fight diseases and infections. He was gracious enough to oblige me his time and share some of his ‘secrets'. Some of these things you will be hearing are gleanings from my numerous conversations with him.
