Life Poetry

Sharing your heart, opening up, is not always easy. But once allowed the freedom of expression, a soul pours forth its deepest feelings and thoughts. While some feel exposed when they share, others find the outreach, a true release of the burden of keeping everything locked inside. Allowing others to recognize themselves in your thoughts, is a true human bond. Also, the way you try to analyze and make sense of the world, allows others to let their guards down, and attempt to do the same. Writing letters to lovers, old or new, expressing love as well as disappointment, can be a great way to ...

PERVERSE is an eclectic collection of short, snatched memories and random ideas. ‘Perversity’, is an obstinate urge or contrary behaviour; a wilful desire to not conform. That made me think - Life can sometimes be perverse – full of contradictions, disappointments, grief and sheer bloody-mindedness. But though it all, our sense of what is right and our submission to the rule of law, provides a counter balance that somehow gets us through. I hope you enjoy this collection of verse and prose - a pastiche of my life, a hope for better days, reflections on the good and bad times, a ...

With lyrical prose and striking verse, beloved poet Nikita Gill (Fierce Fairytales, Wild Embers) uses the history of Ancient Greece and beyond to explore and share the stories of the mothers, warriors, creators, survivors, and destroyers who shook the world.

In a series of fascinating conversations with eighteen American poets, and in dozens of poems, The Language of Life celebrates language in its "most exalted, wrenching, delighted, and concentrated form," and its unique power to recreate the human experience: falling in love, facing death, leaving home, losing faith, finding God.

As we open up to life and love and each other, as we awaken from our dream of separation, we encounter not just the bliss of existence, but its pain, too; not only life's ecstasy, but also its agony. Healing doesn't always feel good or comfortable or even "spiritual", for we are inevitably forced to confront our shadows, fears, and deepest longings - those secret parts of ourselves that we have denied, repressed, or deemed "negative" and unworthy of our love.

Virgil's Georgics ranks as one of the most precious pastoral poems ever written, and it has served as a model for its type ever since. Georgics means "of or relating to agriculture or rural life" and it comes from the Greek word, "georgicus". Virgil's main theme in this, his second great work after The Eclogues, was the importance of peace both in the spiritual and physical sense.

Bighearted and observant twelve-year-old Murray O’Shea loves the ocean. Every chance she gets, she’s in it.
