This collection of 29 poems includes his favorites. They include love poems alongside horror, realism, fantasy, and realistic fiction.

I believe that there may be a strong positive correlation between levels and competence of creativity and mental health diagnoses. Upon delving further into psychology I learnt that some entertainers use their success as a supplement for lack of close relationships or catharsis for past trauma. The title emphasizes how the complex lives and experiences of creatives serve to influence their art, thus, Chaos can Create.

In Conversation is a personal milestone in Janice Whyne's journey of rediscovering her creative self. She sees poetry as a means of self-expression. A conduit and a safe space for our emotions, feelings and lived experiences. The poems in In Conversation began their lives with a word(s) exchanged in conversation or that captured her attention in something she was listening to or viewing. She regards them as articulations of the said and unsaid, with the poetic voice in them not always hers but rather an expression or interpretation of the voice(s) of others.

In this collection, explore a variety of poems depicting a time of loneliness, growth, and self reflection. How change can often be unwanted, and the feelings that transpire with overcoming it.

Poetry kills inner demons. It takes away their power. Removes their teeth. Loosens their grip. It turns them into mere words in a narration. Something to be heard and remembered, but no longer feared. What follows is an act of therapy. In moments of inner crisis, I put pencil to paper and let the words come. This process is not pleasant, but it is cathartic. I share this with you in the hopes that we can both feel less alone in our suffering and to show you that when you look at your demons, they lose all their power.

From the crushing comfort of the womb-dark ocean, the poems in Francesca Marais' Emerge rise to the surface and breathe deeply. Untangling the tentacles of family and romance and imagination, the poet carries the listener along on a journey toward self-love and acceptance. Salt of tears, of stinging wounds, of breaking waves—to know the self requires all of these. There is ache here, but also nourishment. Emerge shows us how to stop holding our breath, how to see our own reflection in the ocean's blue eyes.

The Bridge of Fire, which appeared in 1907, was Flecker's first published collection of poetry. It contains 35 poems, a number of which were revised and republished in later collections. As with Flecker's other collections, two persistent themes emerge: the poet's fascination with the glories of Grecian antiquity and his premonitions of an early demise. Flecker seemed to be acutely aware that not only would he pass away himself, but also the fading world of British imperialism of which he was a characteristic representative.

Cancerwords is a record of Glenn Peirson’s three-year battle with a rare sinus cancer. Diagnosed at stage 4, Glenn did his elegant utmost to stay here for his wife and children, the joys of his life. As mother of this remarkable man for all seasons, I was seized by a need to write poetry and take photos on my prayer-walks. These media became my prayer forms. For me, they reached through the madness to a silence where pain is transformed into resilience. I was sustained and enabled to be what Glenn, Mary, Theodora, and Henry needed me to be.

As my spirit and soul become corporeal, my heart becomes vulnerable to you. Take, eat, and drink it. Nourish your mind with words of encouragement, empowerment, love, and even grief. Take a moment to sip from the chalice of life and open your eyes to the untold journey ahead. Know that each phase of life comes with its own heaven and hell. I offer you the naked truth: that as humans, most times, we refuse to share, for fear of being ridiculed or taken advantage of. But on this day that my spoken words are made tangible, may they be a beacon to light your own path.
