"...well chosen and important collection. Cary James in The Pacific Sun An amazingly rich collection.. Kate Fitzsimmons in Artists' Dialogue With its oversized format, its interspersed line drawings and photographs....Beside the Sleeping Maiden...gives a sense of community endeavor, of intimacy...intriguing glimpses into the life of a particular place and the sensibilitiees of its writers...not all poems of place, but a majority use the landscape of Marin as either subject or setting. Because of that, there's an overlapping imagery -- hawks and deer, hills and sea and fog -- that gives the experience of reading the book the feel of turning a jewel in your hand to study the various facets. These are the kinds of intersections that make me consider more deeply the concept of place. In a world grinding its ways towards a global economy and the erasure of individual cultures, Sleeping Maiden" celebrates the local, and implicit in that stance are both appreciation for, and responsibility towards, where one finds oneself on the earth.

"Classical mythology gave us nine muses who ruled over the arts and moved the pens of poets. The touch of the muses is that of divine mystery. They inspire in many ways, making every act, person, and object a muse in itself and thusly multiplying themselves to thousands. There are poems lurking in a budding rose, the rustle of leaves, the smell of the sea, the tear of a child, the arms of a lover, and in every poem, a lesson. Devyn Barat takes their inspiration and wisdom, locking them in verse to be shared. Can you uncover the mystery? Within these pages, a thousand muses dance in a parade of poetry. Come join the dance!"

Those who simply see art do so by accident. They are driving in their car and see a landscape and think silently how beautiful it is, but forget about it by morning. Those who look at art and those who have the need to find the artistic qualities in everything for visual stimulation will pick fresh flowers or spend a day at the beach trying to capture the sunset rather than building sand castles."

"Moment I know I’m just a shadow In darkness Drifting thru the need’s of light I always hide. I can find my deepest fear And enjoy it Like a beer Without dropping tears. My time is near My time is a fear As the two flying crows Get near, it’s not time, do they fear. Yes I hide in your shadow And you I follow Raping your mind Destroying it and making you mine. And slowly let you think Everything seems to be On the way But instead I leave you on the bed.

"Denise Lynnette Yuolanda Anne-Bernadette Lyles-Cook, yes these are her legal names, attributes her love of life and firm belief in I can do anything I put my mind, body and soul into, with her close association to her sister Bessie Maria Lyles who was born with muscular dystrophy and cerebral palsy and lived only a short but full 22 years of life. Other than my father, Ri Ri, as she was lovingly called, was my best friend for many years. From her I learned compassion, a deep sense for unconditional love, and an awareness of how precious and special life are and how sincerely lucky I am to be where I am today.

She is a "Jacqueline of all trades and master of most". She says, In my day they called it hyper-activity, today they call it ADHD. It doesnt matter. Ive made it FULL CIRCLE and Im happy for the journey. "

It Fell from the Sky, It Must be Ours: a Poem for Peace with Justice by D. H. Kerby. Blitz Publications, 169 Shahid Syed Nazrul Islam Sarani,Bijoy Nagar Dhaka -1000, Bangladesh. dhkerby@aol.com. www.DHKerby.com
"“Kerby’s short epic is an awakenened poem of the nightmare we live in, one in which both religion and science are at the service of oppressors. More intensely personal and self-questioning than Ginsberg’s Howl, his poem also gives more authentic snapshots of our chaotic world, from the streets of Jerusalem, Frankfurt, Managua, and Port-au-Prince to the pressroom of the United Nations. Readers will share his vivid experiences, whether of an unfolding military coup d’ etat, or of invasive psychiatric obtuseness. Above all, one feels the agony of 'a man of peace in a situation of war.’” -Peter Dale Scott, Former Canadian diplomat and Professor Emeritus of English Literature at the University of California at Berkeley It traces a journey from a romantic, atheistic marxism across much of the planet to a civil libertarian Christian socialism. The book is in it's first edition. "

Men Cry Too by Wayne L. Misner. www.mendontlisten.com. mendontlisten@aol.com. www.mendontlisten.com
"Depressed, with his emotions holding onto a tornado, Misner wrote about love, divorce, and heartache. The poems and prose were written as he was trying to handle what life had dealt him. Written from his heart, he feels it would be valuable to share his experience with others. The poems help make sense of how people hold onto the thrills and memories of love, as they lose their loved ones. Love is possible another day. Scars will heal; hurt will dissipate, but love stays forever in the fibers of your body, the pages of your memory, and the senses of your being. Misner said, “When I started to write, I had no subject in mind. I had all these different emotions running though me at the same time; most of them bouncing off each other. I found if I wrote down what I was thinking, in time I felt better. I don’t know why writing about pain and heartache helps you grow, but you can learn from pain. As I wrote, I got stronger and saw where mistakes were made. Maybe the next time there will be no mistakes.” Read his writings and you may avoid riding the tornado! "

No rhyme or Reason by c.t. bradley. http://home.comcast.net/~c.t.bradley/site/. bcteach@comcast.net. http://home.comcast.net/~c.t.bradley/site/
"Review Touching, Insightful and Fresh by wordsmith3 February 26, 2009: An emotional journey that will take you from tears to laughter - joy to sorrow. It's hard to believe that a book of thirty three poems could be filled with such a wide range of topics; each infused with insight and reverence for the topic. Two poems, The Chocolaty Candy Sale Snake and Tomorrow's Another Day, actually made me laugh out loud. Three others, Counting Blessings, The Man Behind the Mask, and Mommy Please, Mommy, literally brought me to tears. Though many of the topics being treated in this work are about sad situations, there is an undercurrent of hope and perseverance that carries throughout. Masterfully crafted, this volume is testament to the fact that in this day and age of agendas and sophomoric pap, there are still poets out there who can capture our hearts and attention with works of grace and intelligence with which we can all empathize. You may change your priorities after reading this. A 'must have' book for your personal library. A decidedly beautiful and unique volume of poetry that is a celebration of human experience that gently reminds us where to find the real 'heart' in life!"

No Room, Save in the Heart by Ann Cottrell Free . Flying Fox Press, 4204 45th St., N.W., Washington, D.C. 20016 . FlyingFoxPress@erols.com . www.anncottrellfree.org
"Selections in this beautifully illustrated and presented book reflect moments of deep sorrow and bright joy over the animal, nature and human condition. The author bears witness in these poems and brief essays to irreverence for life as she has done - in a different writing style - in newspaper and magazine articles, other books and testimony before legislative bodies. She brings new vision to the commonplace. Controlled and compelling, she speaks the language of the heart, where most meaningful action begins. The book is divided into five sections: "The House of Life," "Sunlight Still in His Eyes," "The Quality of Mercy," "Joy to the World," and "The Ways of Love." "

Not Since I Grew Legs by Anthony E. Newman. 27 David Drive, PO Box 2-6, Lisle, Ontario L0M 1M0 CANADA. shipshaper@hotmail.com.
"A few of these offerings have appeared in literary anthologies. The poems are variously environmentally inclined, questioning of ingrained attitudes and behaviours, historical, quirky and off-beat, and in one or two instances, quite beyond the pale of fashion and reason. Definitely different - but watch out for the rhyming - MOST of these poems rhyme, or if not, they at least support a regular metre. "

organized labor: collected poems by Daniel P. Quinn. ArtsPRunlimited@aol.com. AuthorHouse.com Book Store
" Organized Labor by Daniel P. Quinn is a wonderful book of poems. An ambitious first collection w/ multiple allusions: from poems that deal with the organized labor movement in America (most notably, the 1913 strike of 20,000 Paterson silk workers at Botto House in Haledon, NJ),an admirable first book. Invocation When our hands Touch I am excited But hide I my feelings for you. IMAGE: Writing on sexuality And baited breath As tongue in cheek Dream, do I of you. Do such words evoke passion or cliche ? In a world Such as ours Adrift Berift F A L L I N G Out of line And syncopation I struggle Escaping from madness Not as in ironic counterpoint or metaphor But rather as decision when I turn away And rely on reason Rather than thoughts of touching you.

Painted Toes by Corrine Panisi. P.O. Box 863507; Plano, TX 75086. entrywaypublish@aol.com. www.digi-tall-media.com
"Just released - September 2006: Corrine Panisi's "Painted Toes," is a Book of Poetry and Graphic Illustrations, which is well crafted and is Corrine's second book to produce with Digi-Tall and Entry Way. This one is an outstanding comeback as her style of poetry is so refreshing and she opens her heart and mind for all to see. Many of this word-master’s thoughts are ones the reader can identify with and take in as their own. Relationships, family and love interests, are a theme in which most readers will relate. In Possession, Corrine explains, “I wore you like a pair of my favorite jeans. Now, I’m loose in the seams. Don’t fit me too tight anymore.” Painted Toes is the style of book you will curl up with as you sip a cup of tea and perhaps, paint your own toes.

They require a kind of mental ferocity that knows no compromise, a reaching for the very top, comparable in spirit to the early works of Picasso." Egon H.E. Lass, Alternate-Read.com "

"The Hawk is a symbol of creativity, truth and experience. I choose to write under his name because my work is based upon my view of each of those things. The poetry in this book is a pure reflection of the things that I have seen and experienced in my life. It is a portrait of the tapestry that has been woven along my path through life and my observation of that. Fly with me on this journey through my life and see how I view life and the people who have touched mine in very special ways. Perhaps you will find similarity with your own life as well as contrast. In either case we are fellow travelers viewing existence from on high."

"This is the first publication by Irish-American poet Brian Grant. Mr. Grant currently is a member of the Security Department at The New York Presbyterian Hospital in New York City. His background a US Marine, police reporter and political commentator combined with his visceral experiences in New York City make for some very interesting poetry. "

Round The Rue - Poetical Celebrations of Life by Brian Grant. P.O. Box 563 Hackensack, NJ 07602-0563. RexdalePublishCo@cs.com. http://www.RexdalePublishing.com
"Mr. Grant was born and reared in bustling New York City. He is of Irish-Scottish descent and is the third of nine children. He has, according to his own recollections, held a minimum of 178 different jobs, and probably more. Starting as a copyboy and subsequently working as police reporter and political commentator, he worked for The Daily Mirror and the Washington Heights Citizen. During this time he gained valuable insight into the way of crime in the streets, interfacing with NYPD officers working on local cases. As an Irish rebel at heart, he found himself in detention on his first day in high school, and in the brig during his tour of duty with the United States Marine Corps. He found he didn't mind solitary confinement at all. Because he has always been an avid reader, he was never without a rolled up paperback book in his hip pocket. Mr. Grant is comfortable exploring the lives and deaths; comedies and tragedies; and loves and lost loves of mankind. His poetry expresses the spiritual duality of good and evil in man, while leaving traces of the beauty and pleasure he sees in life. 96 pages, soft cover, 1,000 copies in print"

Side by Side by Dan Tharp. http://shadowpoetry.com/bookstore/sidebyside.html. Danth64@yahoo.com.
"I have been writing poetry since I was 18 years old. And yet, it is only now, when I am 39, that I have a small collection of poetry in print through Shadowpoetry.com. I write of those things which stir me, and I am never quite sure from where the inspiration will come. It may be from "Falling Leaves" drifting lazily in the breeze. It may be "The Struggle" I encounter with my emotional issues. It may come from looking at my children and seeing "Reflections of Me". It may come from the "Death of a Butterfly" lying lifeless on the ground. It may come from a photograph of my great-grandparents as they sit "Side by Side... As I said, I am never quite sure from where inspiration will come. I am only pleased that it does visit with me and I dislike those times it stays away too long... I consider my poetry as a reflection of me and the path I have traveled in this life. It reflects my thoughts, feelings, emotions and experiences... Dan Tharp "

Gemeral Berry, Jr. Publisher of Our Texas Magazine "[Che' Hill's] writing is spiritual, insightful, and uplifting." Kathleen Harrington Texas Cable News Network Book Review: "In his first book, Che' Hill is well on his way to mastering the necessary tools of a first-class poet. His book is reminiscent of a buffet with a little something for everyone. Poems involving life, love, and everything in between let the reader choose their literary entree. Hill's background as a spoken word artist is also evident as the rhythms of his poems add to their readability. It's almost as if you can hear him reciting the words as you read them, and even find yourself reciting them aloud as if you were the author and the words were your own creation. Che' Hill has created a soul-winner, not just for the professional poet but for the lyrical novice as well. Soulful Storm leaves readers impatiently waiting for Hill's next release."

Surviving the Darkness by Michael James Jaquish. 3305 72nd Avenue Court NW, Gig Harbor, WA 98335. starborn1@yahoo.com.
"Regardless of how strong and prepared we think we are, life has a way of humbling us with unexpected challenges from time to time. How we react to those challenges eventually comes to define the kind of person we are. This little book of prose, poetry and sketches sprung from the heart of a journey that carried the author down a series of dark and dreary pathways and back into the light, providing him with an awareness that what happens to us is not nearly as important as how we react to what happens to us. The author uses poetry to show how adversity can be confronted as you decide whether to surrender or survive. He chose survival and his journey should inspire others who face similar challenges. These poems, stories and sketches serve as entertaining evidence of that survival."

I tell small lies to make a line sound better, or to denie it. I sell myself to chaotic idols and stain my heart with tiny pins, whispering to mother, "I am a whore to survive." The pain is almost pleasing. This chapbook of thirty poems is divided into two sections with the first section featuring hospital/health poems and the second section featuring memories from childhood to adulthood. Two-thirds of the poems have been previously published in literary journals and two of the poems have placed in national poetry contests. Beth Cagle Burt, a North Carolina native, is a former college writing instructor and newspaper reporter. She has had upwards of three dozen poems and photographs published in literary arts journals in the US, UK, and Australia. "

The Two Headed God by ADAMS. cypresshouse.com.
""The poems in The Two Headed God are small capsules that hold the potency of desert storms. On the page, they are the visible tips of icebergs whose underwater bodies are ocean mountains of premonitions and feelings. Here language has the quality of power: few words suffice to conjure up the world. By probing and calling the surrounding reality, the poet becomes the sage who can connect nature and culture, the future with the past. Ancient wisdoms come alive again in poems like The Two Headed God which celebrates the basic native American principle of duality of the universe. These poems are true gems that reflect the light of the stars and of the inner soul. - Francisco X. Alarcon, author of Snake Poems "

We ... a spirit seeking harmony for a world that's out of sync by Heather J. Kirk. P.O. Box 6046 Scottsdale, AZ 85261. HJKirk@juno.com. www.PhotoGraphicArtistry.CityMax.com
"In Heather Kirk's profound first effort in the world of poetry imprints, We ... a spirit seeking harmony for a world that's out of sync, she takes the reader on a faith journey modeled after that of the prophet Isaiah, yet sets it in the absolute present. Tears flow through her tellings of pain so personal we think they are our own. And perhaps they are. Yet "We" never leaves us alone, offering possibilities in the communion of family, friends and a God that burns us with His healing fire. Even non-poetry readers' will find the text in "We" natural and readable, beautiful even as the poems reveal the tragedies that befall us in this world. With Ms. Kirk's assistance, we travel from grief and pain to hope and purpose. Through the chapter headings out of sync', who will go?', coal to my lips', send me', and go,' she reminds us that no matter what we have lived through, we are never so broken that we cannot go and minister to another in need. When I was reading We', I wanted to gobble it up-to swallow the content whole, without chewing. At the same time I wanted to touch and feel every word. I really had to force myself to go slow. Your book did everything a great book should. It made me ache, it made me smile. It made me think, and wonder. Then, like a REALLY GREAT BOOK, it made me want to read it again, which I did. It also made me anxious to share it with my friends. -Cheri Oehler Terman, Social Worker"

""If a war could be stopped with flights of compassion, 10-year-olds in Darfur might sleep a little easier tonight. At Mill Run Elementary School in Ashburn, 149 fifth-graders penned poems so startling and full of compassion for the suffering people of western Sudan that their words will appear in a book that will have an introduction by author Maya Angelou. Proceeds from the book's sale will help fund a school in Darfur's Muzbat village. Fifth-graders at Mill Run Elementary in Ashburn are publishing a book of poems to benefit a school in Sudan and are collecting donations, as well. The brainchild of teacher Logan Williams, the book project began as a lesson, which begat a question, which begat poems and drawings, which begat an idea, a publishing company and a groundswell of support from admiring readers far afield and younger Mill Run students keen to take action themselves."
